In the large majority of product development projects, computer-based design analyses are performed to assess the feasibility of potential technical solutions. As a first step to bring about a deeper understanding of the interactions between the engineering design and the design analysis activities, a survey has been performed in industry. The results of the survey cover: the use of design analysi
A method based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the characterization of static mixers using the Z factor, helicity and the rate of striation thinning is presented. These measures were found to be well-suited for the characterization of static mixers as they reflect the pressure drop, the formation of secondary flow, i.e. vortices, and their effect on the mixing process. Two commercial sta
For a long time, Amae has been being considered an emotion culturally unique to Japan and an indigenous concept. However, cross-cultural studies are rare and often contain many limitations. Amae is also often associated with the concept of attachment, but the relationship between the two concepts have yet to be determined. The current study was exploratory and aimed to investigate further cultural
Abstract in UndeterminedWe consider the regularity of measurable solutions $ \chi$ to the cohomological equation$\displaystyle \phi = \chi \circ T -\chi, $where $ (T,X,\mu)$ is a dynamical system and $ \phi \colon X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a $ C^k$ smooth real-valued cocycle in the setting in which $ T \colon X\rightarrow X$ is a piecewise $ C^k$ Gibbs-Markov map, an affine $ \beta$-transformati
BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation (LTx) is established as a life-saving treatment in end-stage lung disease. However, long-term survival is hampered by the development of chronic rejection, almost synonymous with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The rejection is characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix in small airways. Fibroblasts/myofibroblasts are the main producers of extrace
This study discusses why trade unions at the European level do not play as an important role as early neofunctionalist theory (E.B. Haas) had foreseen. The study thereby provides a twofold answer, as both, the accuracy of the theory as such and the weaknesses of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) in particular, are problematised. Structurally, the research is conducted with the help of
Winston Churchill once said “democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”. Can this sentence be related to economic growth and development? This thesis analyzes the economic outcomes of the two main political regimes (Democracy and Dictatorship) in the developing world and discovers that Churchill’s words cannot be applied for l
The control of an activated sludge process is considered. It is discussed how the organism activity is a crucial information for the control. It is shown, how the concentration profile of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the biological reactor is related to the sludge activity. As a result the DO profile is a useful measurement information for control purposes
In this paper public participation in Swedish municipal traffic planning is studied with the focus onto what extent and how municipalities and consultants interact with participants in traffic-planning processes. Telephone interviews with planners were performed and planners' insight and knowledge of participation methods are analysed in order to give an indication of which prerequisites seem to d
Although it is widely recognized that leadership concerns organizing future actions and mobilizing organizational actors to pursue them, our understanding of how this is accomplished in situated work interactions is relatively limited. Recent ethnographic studies have focused on leadership work resulting in the emergence of direction. This study explores the efforts involved in attempting to mobil

Rare earth elements comprise the metallic elements known as lanthanides as well as scandium and yttrium. They are extensively used in modern technological industries and are considered as strategic commodities in many countries. Rare earth element minerals with varying compositions are found at deposits throughout the world, though most of the global REE supply comes from only a few sources. The c
The anaerobic digestion process results in the production of biogas from a large diversity of organic residues, which can be used as an alternate source of energy generation and for waste management. However, the biogas production technology is not exploited efficiently due to the characteristics of raw materials, poor methane yields, process instability, limited raw materials and lack of knowledg
