This work focuses on the investigation on both local and global dielectric properties for a random wound single tooth winding, which represents a segment of the in-field electrical machine used on an Hybrid Wheel Loader. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to predict the temperature stress while loading and illustrate the influences of dielectric properties (i.e. conductivity and dielectric cons

Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a promising method for particle separation in the micrometer range, the proof of principle of which has been demonstrated to be successful in fields such as biomedicine and physics [1]. However, the enhanced particle dispersion (Figure 1 & 2) arising when separating very small particles (such as viruses and proteins) constitutes the main functional b

Using Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD), we are able to separate bacteria by their size and their chain length. This separation enables the study of these properties as factors of virulence.

We present an assay, based on optical DNA mapping in nanochannels that is capable of characterizing the plasmid content of bacterial isolates resistant to antibiotics in a fast an detailed way. In a single experiment we determine the number of different plasmids in each sample, their size, as well as a barcode that can be used for plasmid identification and tracing. In addition we demonstrate that

A theoretical framework for understanding public library development is presented; plural agonistics is used in combination with an approach inspired by post-humanism. The framework is related to examples from a study of two Swedish public libraries. Antagonism is viewed as foundational, and democracy as an ongoing process, the task being to transform antagonism to agonism, with institutions like

Treatment resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal behavior are among the most important public health problems and are commonly associated with significant disability and psychosocial impairment. Although there have been recent advances in identifying neurobiological correlates of these complex conditions, their pathophysiology still remains unclear. Although the recent advances concerning the neu

The paper reviews a number of cellular neural network implementations on a field-programmable gate-array. It illustrates experimentally, how these implementations can be used to measure from images or to create dynamic, autonomous processes that facilitate measurements within topographic maps. Applications range from image understanding to robot navigation

Enligt författarnas mångåriga erfarenhet från kustprojekt runt om i Sverige föreligger ett stort behov av en förbättrad terminologi på svenska vad gäller ingenjörsmässiga frågeställningar och planering av kustområden.Föreliggande artikel presenterar således en engelsk-svensk ordlista, inklusive förklarande kommentarer, med syfte att klargöra en lång rad ord och uttryck. Denna finns också att tillg

This chapter describes methods and procedures that can be used to calculate the absorbed dose distribution based on quantitative SPECT/PET images. In this context, quantitative images mean images corrected for various physical effects (among them are photon attenuation, scatter contribution, dead time) in such a way that the values of each voxel can then be translated into units of activity by a c

In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp
