System Identification Applied to Spatial and Temporal Propagation of Atrial Activity During Atrial Fibrillation

The purpose of the paper is to apply system identification methods to study spatial and temporal propagation of atrial activation along coronary sinus (situated in the posterior left part of the heart, in the groove between left atrium and left ventricle) during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using data recorded from 7 different patients. Furthermore, interatrial mechanisms of impulse conduction c

A Frame Work for Process State Transitions: Grade Changes

In modern chemical process industry, process state transitions, orgrade changes, are common operations. For example, for a papermachine, a common operation is to change the surface weight of theproduced paper. In this case it is of importance that the transitionto the new grade is done fast, but without a breakdown asa result. This paper addresses this problem by combining optimizationtechniques a

Full electrification of Lund city bus traffic - A simulation study

Flexibla och ekonomiska system för eldrift av vägfordon är ett område med aktiv utveckling och forskning. Denna rapport tillämpar sådana system för drift av alla stadsbussar i Lund. En programvara för simulering och ekonomisk optimering av sådana system har utvecklats och några systemkonstruktioner presenteras. Ett försök till realistiska kostnader och resultat uppskattningar av de viktigaste kompFlexible and economic systems for full electric operation of road vehicles are an area of intense research and development. This report applies such systems to the operation of all city buses in Lund. Software for simulation and economic optimization of such systems is developed and a few system designs are presented. An attempt to a realistic cost and performance estimate of the main components i

Green Marketing at the Store: The socio-material life of a t-shirt

Green products are becoming part of contemporary consumer cultures and part of everyday life. But how are green products constructed? And how do they work? This paper is concerned with the role that marketing plays in the making and circulation of green products. My aim is to illuminate the process of green making. Departing from an understanding of marketing as socio- material practice I analyse

Risker i kunskapens mellanrum

Vi löper ofta risker som vi inte tar. Och vi vet ofta litet om de situationer där vi tar risker. Dessa två iakttagelser utgör den här bokens utgångspunkter. Det är utgångspunkter som inte passar så väl ihop med mycket annat som vi brukar ta för givet i risksammanhang. Läsaren får därför många tillfällen att ompröva sin syn på saker som skillnaden mellan fara och risk, vad ett riskobjekt är och vad

Supply Chain Implications from Conract Packaging

In trying to get products out to market, manufacturers of FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) differentiate themselves through e.g. promotional efforts and display packaging (Point-of-Purchase packaging). For the display packaging, companies turn to contract packagers who are able to supply this service, providing the design, manufacturing and assembly and packing of the display packaging. This pape

Denmark: Lessons from the Global Leader in Straw-to-Energy

This book examines some of the economic, political and social issues facing the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. Topics discussed in this compilation include Denmark's energy sector transition toward agro-biomass; Sweden's exchange-rate volatility trade with Germany; Norwegian quota reform in gender corporate representation; legislation, culture and development of qua

Packaging for eco-efficient supply chains - exploring factors in the packaging development process

Purpose: Supply chain efficiency (economic and ecological) is affected by packaging design. The purpose of this research is to investigate how integrated approaches aiming for ecoefficient supply chains are used in packaging development processes and how a set of preselected factors influences the adaption of more or less integrated approaches at companies. Design/methodology/approach: The researc

From Putsch to Purge. A Study of the German Episodes in Richard Hughes’s The Human Predicament and their Sources

Popular Abstract in Swedish Richard Hughes (1900-1976) blev mycket känd genom sin debutroman A High Wind in Jamaica, 1929. Han förhastade sig inte med nästa roman, In Hazard; den kom först 1938. Intervallerna blev allt längre. The Fox in the Attic från 1961 inledde hans romancykel The Human Predicament, och fortsättningen kom med The Wooden Shepherdess 1973. Av en planerad tredje del publicerades The two last novels by Richard Hughes (1900-1976), the first in his planned The Human Predicament series, are partly set in Germany in the years between the First and the Second World War. Much of the action in The Fox in the Attic (1961) takes part in and around Munich, culminating in a fictional reconstruction of the so-called Hitler Putsch on November 8-9, 1923, the future dictator's aborted ea

Synthesis of mesoporous cerium dioxide thin films with high crystallinity

Thin films of crystalline mesoporous cerium dioxide were prepared by using a template of a copolymer surfactant (Pluronics 123) at ambient conditions in ethanol. The synthesised ceria was produced via a direct calcination step, without using a gelling stage. The precipitated CeO2 matrix was crystalline with a high surface area. The solution height over the synthesis vessel before the ca

Non-Visual Haptic Interaction Design - Guidelines and Applications

This dissertation has three cornerstones: * Haptics * Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) * Blind Users Haptics deals with controlling human movements and getting feedback through the sense of touch. A haptic interface transmits forces to a person’s hand or fingers in a way that mimics the sensation of touching real objects. Virtual haptic touch can be particularly useful for people with visual i
