An acoustofluidic device, consisting of a polymer chip with a long straight channel, coupled to a piezoelectric transducer is modeled numerically in three dimensions and compared to experimental results in terms of the electric admittance as well as the ability to focus particles. In our experiments we obtain good acoustic particle focusing at a frequency of f = 1.14 MHz with an actuation voltage

The purpose of this thesis has been to illustrate the performative aspects of the expressions created by the Swedish reception of Valerie Solanas’ Scum Manifesto, by focusing on Malin Arnell’s performance piece I didn’t do it for nothing. Arnell’s performance works as a connecting point on which Judith Butler's account of performativity and Louis Althusser's theory of interpellation has be

Institutional economics has produced a string of findings about the importance of good institutions for economic growth and development. While consensus is lacking about how important institutions are, few scholars argue that institutions have no impact whatsoever. Yet, for all the knowledge produced, the results of institutional reforms are meager. This is not surprising as a central theme in the

Svensson (1997) föreslår att centralbanker på grund av implementerings- och utvärderingssvårigheter hos inflationsmål även bör ha ett mål för inflationsprognoser. Han argumenterar för detta med hjälp av en teoretisk modell som antar att den korta räntan, som centralbanken kontrollerar, påverkar BNP-gapet med en periods fördröjning, vilket sedan påverkar inflationen efter ännu en period. För att ma

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Träcentrum, a school and conference center in Nässjö, Sweden. The building is divided into five sections but because of various limitations only two will be thoroughly investigated in this report. A site visit at the location was made in February 2012 to gather information about the fire protection and evacuation of the building. Targets of protection we

This bachelor degree essay is an attempt to evaluate four interpretations within the Church of Sweden of the doctrine on original sin and their relation to a Lutheran tradition. I have tried to see if it is possible to assess the degree of loyalty to the Lutheran tradition in the Church of Sweden present in the works of the theologians Bengt Hägglund, Anna Karin Hammar and Eva-Lotta Grantén and in

Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress. This is an opinion that has shifted in the last couple of years as technical solutions has been found to the initial problems when using elevators as an escape route. This report investigates the possibility to replace a staircase with emergency elevators as a means of egress in a buildning. The report als

This thesis presents the development of a prototype for a concealed power strip integrated into the underside of a sofa. The aim is to improve accessibility to electrical outlets while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance in the living environment. The solution is designed to both hide cables and allow convenient access to power when seated, while ensuring sufficient ground clearance for
