The dissertation deals with the load-bearing capacity, in terms of stability, of a steel truss in an industrial building. It is based on previous work by Tosovic [1], in which the roof was investigated in the same type of building but the results showed that the trusses were the deficient elements. Steel trusses are a popular choice of construction for large-span buildings due to their load-beari
Everything we see in nature shows how the environment influences them from both inside and outside, for example, appearance and inner structure. As Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, specific behavioural and physical adaptations that are the outcome of natural selection. [1] The outer appearance is a visible reflection of how environment changed while the inner structure is the organism
The thesis examines the relationship between the detention regime in the Special Controls of Aliens Act (SFS 1991:572, SCAA) and the right to personal liberty and security; the presumption of innocence; and the principle of legality. The aim is to assess whether the legislation is a suitable counter-terrorism measure from a rule of law perspective. The thesis also aims to place the SCAA in an inte
The growing number of African Presidents on Twitter affirms that media, in all its forms, will always play a fundamental role in contemporary politics. Moreover, based on its face value, the presence of Presidents on Twitter could suggest that citizens are gaining unprecedented access to their president. But, this thesis contends that the newness of Twitter should not blind us into thinking that t
Stellar lithium abundances can help answer multiple unanswered questions within modern astrophysics. Lithium is fragile in comparison to other elements found in stellar atmospheres. Consequently, its abundance within the stellar atmosphere is depleted by different processes. Studying these lithium abundances gives insight into the evolution of the stars and the processes within their interiors. Th
Uppsatsen syftar till att synliggöra och problematisera hur omfattningen av domens negativa rättskraft förhåller sig till konsumentens rättigheter härrö-rande ur EU-rätten. Efter en jämförelse mellan HD:s rättspraxis och EU-domstolens avgöranden i konsumenträttsliga mål är min slutsats att den rätts-kraftslära HD utvecklat kan försämra konsumenträttens genomslag och såle-des strida mot den EU-rättThis essay aims to illustrate and problematize how the extent of res judicata rules relates to EU-regulated consumer rights. After a comparison between case law from the Swedish High Court (HD) and the European Court of Jus-tice (ECJ), I’ve concluded that the HD-created jurisprudence regarding res judicata might be incompatible with the EU principle of effectiveness. This is due to its potential i
The enhancement of heat transfer attributed from rib turbulators relative to the increased pressure drop in the channel is a crucial design parameter. Thus, the design of the truncated ribs (whose length is less than the passage width) provides options to address such cooling requirements when the pressure loss is a critical factor. Considering different types of truncated ribs, mid-truncated ribs
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of Gafchromic EBT3 films for reference dose measurements in the beam of a prototype high dose-per-pulse linear accelerator (linac), capable of delivering electron beams with a mean dose-rate (Dm) ranging from 0.07 to 3000 Gy/s and a dose-rate in pulse (Dp) of up to 8 × 106 Gy/s. To do this, we evaluated the overall uncertainties in EBT3
Metallic glasses are non-crystalline metals that are obtained by rapid cooling of the melt to bypass crystallization. The amorphous atomic structure shows enhanced properties relative to the crystalline counterpart. For example, enhanced mechanical properties, improved corrosion resistance, as well as excellent soft magnetic properties. The unique properties of metallic glasses make them promising
Error estimation and data fusion are critical to improving the accuracy of global model- and satellite-based precipitation products for practical applications. However, they face challenges over vast areas of the world due to limited ground observations. Triple collocation (TC) method can overcome this limitation and provide an efficient way for error estimation without the “ground truth” and thus
This paper is centered around using poetic-mythological vocabulary from Northwest Semitic languages as a key to reconstruction of IE phraseology. Mythological material from the NWS area – especially Ugaritic – can sometimes be shown to represent Indo-European borrowings into NWS poetic language; by studying these cases, knowledge may be gleaned about the loan-giver.The famous phrase *egwhent ogwhi
