The aim of the thesis was to perform cutting tests in cemented carbide with diamond tools to investigate if the binder content affected the machinability of the process. The wear tests were
In modern batch plants, alarm floods overwhelming the operator is a common problem of ever increasing severity. As plant hardware increase in complexity and performance, measures such as downtime and meantime between failures, increase in importance and the need for a well-functioning exception handling routine therefore grows critical. In order to minimize downtime and hence boost production effi
Image registration of X-ray images is used to correctly align the patient before the cancer tumour is treated with sets of high dose X-ray radiation. Before the first treatment, a simulated X-ray image is taken showing the best possible localisation of the tumour. From then on, after each of the radiation treatments of the tumour, a low dose of the X-ray theurapeutic radiation is used to take an i
Developing wind farms is a long and costly task. Assessing the potential of a site is a major part of the development of a wind project. Reanalysis, that are modelling of the wind speed made from scattered wind data across the world (from satellites, weather stations for example), can help to fulfill this step as they are improving their accuracy with each new release. Among them is EMD-WRF, a rea
As the current energy system dependency on fossil fuels continues to perpetuate environmental harms, endangers economic stability and exaggerates international conflicts, there has been a growing momentum for a transition towards more sustainable forms of energies. When it comes to policies that aim towards a shift in energy systems, California has been recognized as one of the flagship regions in

Populariteten för släktforskning har vuxit under dom senaste åren. Detta beror framför allt på att det blivit avsevärt enklare genom internets framfart. Idag kan privat personer bedriva släktforskning hemifrån då man tidigare behövde hjälp från arkivister och professionella släktforskare. Då stora mängder släktdata har digitaliserats och lagts ut på nätet genom olika internationella företag och idAssociation for computer aided genealogy research of Sweden(DIS) is investigating the possibility of a nationwide genealogical database (RGD) of Sweden's historical population. The finished database should contain basic information about individuals' names, birth, marriage, death, and individuals' relationships such as father, mother, husband/wife and children. This will make up a kind
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda ifall föräldraskapsregleringen vid insemination utanför den svenska vården omfattas av diskrimineringsförbuden i regeringsformen (RF) respektive Europeiska Konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR). I dagsläget gäller olika föräldraskapsregleringar för hetero- och homosexuella par när en insemination skett utanförThe purpose of the essay is to examine whether the Swedish regulation of parenthood through insemination outside of Swedish care is subject to the prohibition against discrimination in the instrument of government or European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As of now, regulations of parenthood differ based on the couple’s sexuality when an insemination has taken place outside of Swedish care. I
Människans fysiska behov av sömn är uppenbara, men vilken funktion fyller egentligen sömnen och drömmarna för psyket? Det är något av ett mysterium trots att både sömn och drömmar är föremål för mycket debatt, teorier och studier. I den här studien undersöks kopplingen mellan sömn, mardrömmar och försvarsstrukturer. Kan en kort sovstund dagtid påverka våra försvarsstrategier, gör den vårt psyke meThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether sleep leads to more flexible use of defense mechanisms, and linkages between defense structure, anxiety and nightmares, the two conditions, sleep and rest. 69 participants were recruited for the study and they were divided into a sleep group (n = 48) who received a period of sleep during the daytime while the other partcipants (n = 16) rested du
Rail transport across national borders is complicated today. European member states do not have the same regulations and structure of the network. The European market is divided into national networks based on different technologies and national regulations, which constitutes an obstacle to a common rail network. In order to improve accessibility in Europe, the European Union has, since the early
Abstract Responsive web design is the technique lot of companies apply to their website today. The reason is, that with this technique the website’s content adapts nicely on all devices from mobile phones to desktops. IKEA recently followed this trend on some of their platforms and among these is their internal communication platform called IKEA Inside Outside. IKEA is not entirely satisfied in
Likt andra komplexa, flercelliga organismer, består den mänskliga kroppen av en mängd olika organ ämnade för olika uppgifter. För att kunna utföra dessa uppgifter är organen uppbyggda av olika sorters celler, med speciell funktion och struktur. Trots de stora skillnaderna mellan dessa celltyper delar de samma genetiska ritning, organismens genom. Genomet är indelat i olika gener, vilka beskriverMaintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h

This doctoral thesis has its theoretical origin in the notion that the information flow between management teams, financial analysts and investors is especially exposed to information asymmetry when knowledge-intense companies are concerned. Information asymmetry may aggravate agency problems and risk causing an impairment of the efficient allocation of capital on the stock market. Therefore, the
Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a serine protease, which is predominantly expressed by the prostate gland and found in seminal plasma at mean levels of 6 mg/ml. It has 79% amino acid sequence identity with prostate-specific antigen (PSA or hK3). The aim of this work was to produce hK2 by recombinant expression technologies in order to study its biochemical and biological properties and its
As the concept of gentrification celebrates an even forty years, some of the most basic questions about the process itself remain contentious. What is gentrification? What are its root causes? There is surely no lack of answers, though these are largely stamped by disciplined convention. The purpose of this chapter is to revisit these basic questions and formulate answers that facilitate “having g
Popular Abstract in Swedish I forskningsparker (Science Parks) finns ett antal resurser tillgängliga för de teknologibaserade företag (NTBF) som valt att lokalisera sig i dessa parker. Om företagen använder dessa resurser kan de också lättare bygga upp den resursbas som företag behöver för att kunna utvecklas och växa. I avhandlingen har tre kategorier av forskningsparksresurser identifierats: UniIn this thesis a strategy perspective (the resource-based view) is applied to the New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) in Science Parks, arguing that the Science Park provides the firms with a set of resources that if used could help them build their resource base and thus develop and grow.
