In an increasingly competitive environment, technical innovation in products and processes is by a vast number of manufacturing companies regarded as one of the most powerful enablers to differentiate from competitors and achieve competitive advantage. Accordingly, some manufacturing companies spend significant amounts of investments in innovation projects. In this paper, we examine the relationsh

I många klassrum står läraren och ett fåtal studenter för i stort sett all kommunikation medan de flesta är passiva åhörare. Lärare har länge sökt efter verktyg och metoder för att öka studenternas delaktighet och skapa en interaktiv lärandemiljö. Ett beprövat, men i Sverige ännu ganska ovanligt, verktyg är att använda sig av mentometersystem. Ett mentometersystem består av trådlösa mentometerdoso

This chapter presents a brief review of studies on swirling and non-swirling impinging jets. Also, a numerical investigation of heat transfer from impinging swirling jets is described. Various turbulence models are used. Comparison with experimental data is provided. Generally, the V2f model was found to perform better than other models, but for small nozzle-to-plate distances, it was hard to main

In neuroscience a number of new techniques have been developed by means of which it has become possible to study the activity of the living human brain. By means of these techniques we are beginning to understand the neurophysiology behind environmental attitudes and preferences. In addition to an introduction to cognitive neuroscience, this invited symposium contains a number of presentations, wh

High-level modeling languages are receiving increased industrial and academic interest within several domains, such as chemical engineering, thermo-fluid systems and automotive systems. One such modeling language is Modelica. Modelica is an open language, specifically targeted at multi-domain modeling and model re-use. Key features of Modelica include object oriented modeling, declarative equation

The analysis of evaluation in text poses significant methodological challenges, which mainly arise from the fact that: a) evaluative meanings can be expressed through an open-ended range of lexico-grammatical resources; b) they can span multiple words; c) context and co-text play a key role in determining the evaluative meaning of words or phrases; d) the interpretation of evaluation in text depen

The current rapid development within work-environment research has created a considerable demand among industrial hygienists for suitable analytical methods. PIXE (particle-induced X-ray emission analysis), which was introduced in Lund in 1970, has been shown to be a feasible method for use in studying the elemental composition of aerosols. However, in some work environments, fluorine, an element
