Heat stress in indoor environments of Scandinavian urban areas : A literature review

Climate change increases the risks of heat stress, especially in urban areas where urban heat islands can develop. This literature review aims to describe how severe heat can occur and be identified in urban indoor environments, and what actions can be taken on the local scale. There is a connection between the outdoor and the indoor climate in buildings without air conditioning, but the pathways

Balanced Drive Currents in 10–20 nm Diameter Nanowire All-III-V CMOS on Si

We use a self-aligned, gate-last process providing n-type (InAs) and p-type (GaSb) MOSFET co-integration with a common gate-stack and demonstrate balanced drive current capability at about 100 μA/μm . By utilizing HSQ-spacers, control of gate-alignment allows to fabricate both n- and p-type devices based on the same type of vertical heterostructure InAs/GaSb nanowire with short gate-lengths down t

Evolution and Development of Isoelectric Focusing

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) has had a long evolutionary process. The development of this technique was based on several original ideas and needed tremendous work. This chapter summarizes the progression of events that led to successful preparative and analytical applications of isoelectric focusing from the earliest "electrophoretic knowledge" until the modern theoretical advances.

Human Adaptation to Danger

Popular Abstract in Swedish "Så det var, vad ska vi kalla det för, chefskräck. (...) Och jag kände det att 'jag har ingen kontroll just nu över läget'. Då kände jag en fruktansvärd dödsångest och den förlamade mig fullständigt. (...) Då tappar man allt logiskt tänkande. Man blir helt djurisk, flykt, man springer." Så beskriver en svensk officer hur han reagerade när hans förband blev beskjutet unThe overall purpose of the thesis was to increase knowledge concerning how people adapt psychologically when faced with a real danger incident, and what implications these reactions and adaptation mechanisms have upon immediate performance. The thesis is based on three empirical studies concerning people with personal experience of dangerous incidents. Swedish peacekeeping personnel who were invo

Pre-standard for measuring radio performances for UMTS terminals in speech mode

The present document describes the method to be used to assess the radio performances of the 3G and 2G user equipment/mobile stations (UE/MS) in active speech mode in both the up- and the downlink. The test procedure is based on the research results accomplished within the framework of the COST Action 273 as a natural development of prior work initiated during the former COST Action 259 SWG 2.2 an

On the Lifecycle Management of Standards

Popular Abstract in Swedish Globala internationella standards har stort inflyttande i var nutida teknikorienterade värld. Exemplen är många: vi kan importera och exportera produkter och tjänster i de flesta andra länder, vi kan kommunicera med andra personer var de än befinner sig, vi kan även resa snabbt och effektivt. Men skapande och underhåll av internationella standarder är ingen enkel procesStandards are used everywhere in the modern world and are a fundamental part of a functioning society. But the creation and maintenance of international standards is not an easy task. In addition to the technical prerequisites that must exist to create a standard, there are also political, economic and cultural aspects that must be considered. The present thesis does not interpret all these aspec
