This article deals with an essential problem in the metal cutting industry, the problem of predicting tool wear and tool life. This is also a problem that has been studied by academia for the last century, often with very little added knowledge. The possibility to replace a large number of systematic wear tests with only a few specially designed tests provides new potentials for rapid information

For centuries antiquarians and archaeologists have tried to reconcile the terminology of ancient writers on architecture, such as Vitruvius, with the perceived realities of the material record. One particular issue of debate concerns the interpretation of different words for "brick" in Latin. In this paper it is argued that earlier attempts to settle this question are unsatisfactory and leave seve

This manuscript presents simulation results of energy dissipation in sub-threshold (sub-VT ) of various 16-bit adder structures. The architectures designed for the comparative experiments are, a bit-serial, an 8-bit digit-serial and a 16-bit parallel adder structures. The designs are synthesized in a 65 nm low-leakage high-threshold CMOS technology. The results show that an energy minimum operatin

This publication presents a model that describes the lifetime of a tool when used for cutting work in strain-hardened material. The model is known as the Shortcut-Wear-Model (SWM) and can be com-pared with the established model based on Colding equation. The extent of this work has been limited to the turning of the nickel-based alloy 718 with fibre reinforced ceramic cutting tools. This model has

Constitutional Protection of Human Rights means something else than international protection, first and foremost since it is exercised at a national level. This protection may be excercised by courts or by special mechanisms of protection within the legislative process. However, if this protection of the basic rights of the individuals is to be a strong one, it is likely to limit the freedom of ac

The load carrying capacity of a beam of structural timber is dependent both on the span of the beam and the type of loading. The longer the beam and the more uniform the moment distribution, the lower the load carrying capacity. This phenomenon is due to the variability of material properties within a piece of timber. This variability is, in turn, due to the presence of knots, the slope of grain a

The dissertation deals with the normative conflict between labour law and competition law. The legislation in each area gives the Courts guidance in solving a legal problem that has previously been classified as belonging to one or the other area. But the principles guiding the Courts when both competition law and labour law are applicable to a legal problem are vague and difficult to generalise.

Advances in time series analysis during the last two decades have stimulated research in a number of areas in macroeconomics. This thesis is a compilation of five essays using cointegrated vector autoregressive (VAR) models, unit root tests and regime switching models to investigate the behavior of private consumption, public debt and the real exchange rate. Chapter two explores the empirical evi
