Learning in logistics and operations management using computer based simulation

In this study we investigate to what extent computer based discrete event simulation modeling can contribute to students’ learning processes in logistics and production management courses. Our interest in simulation stems from the fact that it is not possible to let students experiment with real logistics and production systems. This is an issue because the complexity and stochastic nature of thes

A Guide to Resistivity Investigation and Monitoring of Embankment Dams

The resistivity method is an established geophysical method with a broad range of engineering and environmental applications. It has been tried numerous times on embankment dams, mainly for seepage investigations, dam status control and investigations of known defects. In previous use of the method on embankment dams some success has been reported, but only occasionally. The method is still not co

Exotica Near 56Ni - Exploiting the 'Big Arrays'

An overview of recent nuclear structure studies in the vicinity of the doubly-magic isotope Ni-56 is presented. Detailed spectroscopy of mirror nuclei, 'complete' high-spin spectroscopy, the gamma-decay out from superdeformed rotational structures, and prompt particle emission are some of the topics in the mass A similar to 60 regime which challenge the power of the 'big arrays'.

Thermal properties on high fill factor electrical windings: Infiltrated vs non infiltarted

This paper presents a comparison of the thermal properties between infiltrated and non-infiltrated copper windings. The focus is on thermal conductivity in the radial direction on the winding. The samples have a fill factor above 65 % due to the manufacturing method of the samples. Samples are produced and measured with the transient plane source technique and then compared to FEM simulations and

Dantiscus and Sweden -- Then and now

Ioannes Dantiscus' letters are a source of singular importance for 16th century European history. Dantiscus was a great traveller who got first-hand information from most parts of Europe, and his correspondence conveys to us today a vivid and varied picture of Early Modern Europe. The list of his correspondents is a name-dropper's dream: Copernicus, Philip Melanchton and Hernan Cortez, to mention

This Time It’s Personal: Social Networks, Viral Politics and Identity Management

This paper deals with new forms of political mobilisation and participation in social media. The main focus is on the importance of social networks in providing a “media filter”, functioning as a kind of collective gatekeeper to spread news and information perceived as important, in contrast to the image of the single individual media consumer faced with an insurmountable mass of information. I ar

Phylogeny of Artiodactyla and Cetacea - based on mitochondrial genomes

Popular Abstract in Swedish Artiodactyla (partåiga hovdjur) är uppdelad i tre underordningar, Suiformes (grisar och flodhästar), Tylopoda (kameler och lamor) och Ruminantia (kor, hjortar, antiloper och giraffer). Studien syftade till att analysera släktskapen mellan de olika underordningarna och ordningen Cetacea (valar) genom att sekvensera mitokondrie DNA och jämföra sekvenserna. I våra släktskArtiodactyla (eved-toed ungulates) and Cetacea (whales) are two mammalian orders that are commonly recognised as sistergroups. Recently it has been suggested that Cetacea originated within Artiodactyla, but the relationships among the different artiodactyl lineages and Cetacea have not been conclusively established. In the present study the mitochondrial genome of the pig (Sus scrofa), the hippopo
