In this study, a fully three-dimensional model has been developed to simulate two-phase, multi-component gas and heat transport processes in a PEMFC cathode duct. The effects of the electrochemical reactions on the heat generation and mass transfer have been taken into account. Based on the calculated values of water vapor partial pressure and temperature, occurrence of liquid water has been predi
Standard Swedish has a large amount of import words from Low German. These words were adopted by the urban population, approximately 5 % of the people, in the middle ages. According to the author very little was taken over by the speakers of the genuine rural dialects. Instead it is resonable to believe that the propagation of these import word took place as an aspect of the weakening of the rural
Brain imaging systems are a set of techniques that allow visualizing the regions of the brain that are activated when (emotional) stimuli are presented. Their advantage over traditional methods of measuring emotion, like self-reports is that they leave out response biases. This paper presents what brain imaging measurement can do for emotional design. It also reviews the brain imaging studies that
Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att den tekniska utvecklingen avseende IT-hjälpmedel och bostadsanpassningar för de närmaste kommande åren inte främst är en teknisk fråga. Visserligen pågår en utveckling av tekniska tillämpningar med stor potential a
Authorship, anonymity and the liberty of the press in Denmark in the eighteenth century: By using the national bibliography of Denmark it is possible to get an impression of change in matters of anonymity and authorship from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. Furthermore, a case study of the poet, 'nouvelliste' and pamphleteer Jacob Christian Bie sheds light on conditions for writing and pu
Clinical and physical assessments of image quality are compared and the correlation between the two derived. Clinical assessment has been made by a group of expert radiologists who evaluated the fulfillment of the European Image Criteria for chest and lumbar spine radiography; yielding the so-called Image Criteria Score, ICS. Physical measures of image quality were calculated using a Monte Carlo m
Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen belyses den inneboende konflikt som finns mellan de två snarlika begreppen jämställdhet och jämlikhet. Detta görs genom att fokusera på svenska kvinnors rätt till jämställdhet i ett formellt jämlikt rättssystem ur ett tvärvetenskapligt feministiskt perspektiv. Det betyder att även om jag har tagit min utgångspunkt i den svenska jämställdhetslagen har jag On the first of January 1992 the present Equal Opportunity Act came into force. A central aim of this law is to improve the conditions of women's working life. One aspect of the law is the possibility to serve as a mean of shifting the balance of power between the sexes. This is meant to be achieved through the inclusion of requirements for active measures to promote equality. As a part of their s
103 patients with displaced femoral neck fractures (Garden 3-4) treated with primary hemiarthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Malmö University Hospital, Sweden 1998-1999 were followed in a prospective, consecutive study for 1 year. Inclusion criteria were age of at least 80 years, signs of mental changes and/or residence in an institution. The control group consisted of 69 patients with
Globally, the food and energy demands of the growing global population are rising and require increased agricultural production. Additionally, climate change will have adverse effects on agricultural productivity. Technological change can contribute to closing yield gaps and reducing post-harvest losses, but needs to be facilitated through investments and education. Considering the multiple driver
Modeling and understanding the vortex breakdown is a key issue of modern Lean Premixed Combustors. The main difficulty of the problem is the unsteady behavior of this type of flow: Large structures resulting from vortex breakdown and the swirling shear-layers, affect directly the flame stabilization leading to heat-release fluctuations and combustion instabilities. Consequently, one needs to captu
In large software organizations with a product line development approach, system test planning and scope selection is a complex tasks for which tool support is needed. Due to repeated testing: across different testing levels, over time (test for regression) as well as of different variants, the risk of double testing is large as well as the risk of overlooking important tests, hidden by the huge a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en del av en prospektiv, longitudinell studie, som avser att studera sambandet mellan psykosociala faktorer och debuten och förloppet av barndiabetes. Diabetes är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna hos barn i Sverige och antalet insjuknade ökar. Tillsammans med Finland har Sverige en av de högsta förekomsterna av barndiabetes i världen. SjukdomThis thesis is a part of a prospective multi-centre study concerning psychosocial aspects of importance for the onset and course of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The investigated population was all children with onset of IDDM in the participating clinics during 1988 and 1989. Of 79 diseased children, 67 participated in the study. To each child a healthy control child was chosen, 61 a
For help in explaining our theoretical understanding of nature, Pauli once suggested to Bohr a gradual lessening of the ‘detachment of the observer’, a notion of Bohr based on his concept of complementarity. Pauli expected further steps in this direction. We suggest further such steps - in line with an epistemological development towards revelation of presuppositions rather than asking for fundame
