We investigate the ability of fluidic injection to control the noise of a model gas-turbine nozzle exhaust. The work is conducted using a hybrid method of LES for the flow field and Lighthill's acoustic analogy for the acoustic field. The impact of injection on the flow development in terms of coherent structures and characteristic frequencies is evaluated. The main results show that a low momentu
Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. RAPD analysis of raw cell abstracts was used to characterize strains of Lb. plantarum. This method was shown to be useful for separation of most strains, and the results were o
Study of the role of trains, telephones and other aspects of modernity in the early films of Ingmar Bergman.
In the discipline of archaeology death has always been a common subject. Graves and dead bodies in different states of decay are important sources of information. This dissertation investigates how our relation to death can be mirrored through some of the better-known individuals from prehistory in Scandinavia. Because of the character of the question at issue I start with three chapters in which
Abstract Recent years have seen a number of competing theories of concepts within philosophy of mind, supplanting the classical definitionist and imagist accounts: among them, Jerry Fodor's informational atomism, Jesse Prinz's proxytypes theory, and -- of course -- Peter Gärdenfors' (2004) conceptual spaces theory (CST). On the whole there has been little empirical investigation into the competing
Sweden, like most other industrialized countries, has an aging population. This is caused by decreases in fertility as well as increases in life expectancy. Table 6.1 shows the percentage of the population over sixty-five and eighty-years-old.
In this chapter we discuss genetic science as a manifestation of modernity. Accordingly, we will, firstly, discuss the notion of modernity. Modernity will be understood and presented as epoch, as cultural and mental disposition. We will deploy a conceptual constellation which denotes specific and typical, constituting and regulating elements of modernity. Secondly, we will turn to the early develo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stärkelse är en miljövänlig och naturlig produkt som kan framställas ur växtriket. Stärkelse har många användningsområden inom livsmedelsindustrin såsom förtjockningsmedel och fettersättning men har även många icke livsmedelsindustriella användningsområden bl. a. i pappers-, kosmetika-, lim-, textil-, oljeborrning- och läkemedelsindustrin. Med kemiska, fysikaliska samt Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described. The novel potato starch qualities will find uses in e.g. the paper, adhesive, textile and packing indus
Context: Systems of systems (SoS) are highly complex and are integrated on multiple levels (unit, component, system, system of systems). Many of the characteristics of SoS (such as operational and managerial independence, integration of system into system of systems, SoS comprised of complex systems) make their development and testing challenging. Contribution: This paper provides an understanding
