The effects on platelet aggregation of native rat chyle chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, and chylomicrons that had been preincubated with rat or human EDTA-plasma, serum, whole blood, or pure human prothrombin were examined. The native chyle chylomicrons did not induce platelet aggregation but decreased ADP- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and [14C]serotonin release. Chylomicron remna

This work is an experimental study covering minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in sheet metal forming. Two different lubricants have been studied. Nanosized graphite platelets (GnP) has been tested as additives to the base oils in order to improve the lubricant performance. The experiments have been performed utilizing a laboratory tribotester based on strip drawing. Friction measurements have bee

The current study demonstrates through experiment the effect of solid lubricant assisted minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) on the machining performance when turning Alloy 718 with cemented carbide tools. A powder of nanosized (~30 nm) graphite nanoplatelets (GnP) was dispersed (0.2% vol.) in a vegetable oil-based lubricant “ECOLUBRIC E200L” and used in MQL-assisted machining. The effect of cuttin

Fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) is a hard-to-treat material used in different areas of up-to-date machine building. It has excellent mechanical properties making the material unique in different engineering solutions such as aircraft, aerospace and boatbuilding. The optimization of holemaking operations in FRP is the main aim of the current investigation.

This thesis deals with the effect of the incorporation of the adsorbing polymer polyethylene glycole (PEG) on the structural and elastic properties of lyotropic lamellar mesophases. In particular, these polymer doped-lamellar phases are of great interest for understanding the intermembrane interactions mediated by the macromolecule. Firstly, the bending elastic modulus of the membranes has been in

Decision makers often face incentives to increase risk‐taking on behalf of others through bonus contracts and relative performance contracts. We conduct an experimental study of risk‐taking on behalf of others using a large heterogeneous sample and find that people respond to such incentives without much apparent concern for stakeholders. Responses are heterogeneous and mitigated by personality tr

A search for singly produced vector-like quarks Q, where Q can be either a T quark with charge +2/3 or a Y quark with charge −4/3, is performed in proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. The analysis targets Q → Wb decays where the W boson decays leptonica

Många föräldrar upplever svårigheter med sitt barns ätande någon gång under de första åren. Orsakerna till ätsvårigheter kan vara många och skiftande, och av både medicinsk och psykosocial karaktär. I boken går författaren igenom olika anledningar till barns ätsvårigheter, och ger en mängd praktiska tips och råd om hur man på kort och lång sikt kan hjälpa sitt barn att känna matglädje och på så sä

In this study, the heat and mass transport characteristics of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are numerically investigated by using a two-dimensional model. The mathematical model is validated by comparing the numerical results with experimental data found in the open literature. The species and temperature distributions of SOFCs at different cell voltages are presented and compared

This paper proposes a first-principle model of GPS receivers, that allows us to exploit the trade-off between battery consumption and positioning accuracy. We present the model and propose a GPS sampling strategy that uses both the current positioning confidence, and information about the GPS status. We complement the GPS sensor with internal measurement units and show how the given model exposes

For many years a good deal of scholarly interest was directed towards the third sector and the supposedly improbable existence of cooperation between this sector and the public sector. As Salamon and Toepler (2015) state, the long reign of the neoclassical market failure and government failure theory had obscured the understanding of public-third sector relations. However, as research on the third
