Critical infrastructures provide indispensable services to society and extensive disruption of these give rise to large societal consequences. Most risk-related studies of critical infrastructures, however, focus rather narrowly on the direct consequences, e.g. expressed by services not supplied or cost of nonsupplied services. Although these measures might serve as a proxy for the direct societal

Att följa ett barns upptäcktsfärd in i modersmålet är ett äventyr för föräldrarna, men också något som fängslat språkforskare i decennier. Barn i olika delar av världen uppvisar en förvånansvärd samstämmighet i inlärningsmönstren när det gäller ljud, joller och tidiga ordkombinationer. Språken hos små barn är faktiskt mera lika varandra än vad motsvarande språk är i vuxenversionen. Vad är det då

The aim with this thesis has been to increase the knowledge about nonionic microemulsions and how they behave with increasing temperature. I have studied Nonionic Microemulsions made from C12E5, water and oil, with predominally hexadecane as oil, but also with octane, decane, dodecane and tetradecane as oil. I have worked with microemulsions at fixed surfactant to oil volume ratio of 0.815:1 and

In this paper, we give an overview of the background for, the ideas behind, and the challenges to be addressed in the project "Spatio-Temporal Filtering Methods for Enhancement and Separation of Speech Signals," which is funded by the Villum Foundation. The project aims at addressing the problem of enhancing and separating speech signals from noisy mixtures, a problem also known as the cocktail pa

For some time, directional antennas have been considered to solve connectivity and interference issues in wireless networks. Several scenarios have been presented and often the conclusions drawn are positive, showing increase in capacity. However, to date there has been no effort to assess a holistic picture of the benefit/cost tradeoff and previous work mainly concerns either link scheduling or a

Det försvunna fascinerar, ofta mer än det som finns i behåll. Bilden måste återskapas inom oss. Till ledning finns minnesbilder, rester av det försvunna, eller indirekta avtryck som foton, teckningar och beskrivningar. Att återskapa kräver efterforskningar och stimulerar fantasin. Särskilt lockande kan det vara att rekonstruera försvunna byggnader, konkreta avtryck av människor som levat tidigare.

In this study we compare two types of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulent combustion models with experimental data for a low swirl stabilized turbulent lean premixed flame. Such flames are a great challenge to numerical simulations since they are unsteady and sensitive to boundary conditions, and details of the experimental set-up. The two classes of LES turbulent combustion models considered ar

The work presented in this paper deals with the use of green gluing (also known as wet gluing) as a mean to overcome the difficulties in making use of side boards for structural applications. By manufacturing laminated beams from unseasoned side boards several advantages are obtained. Beams were manufactured from side boards of approximately 25 mm thickness. The board width was 120 mm. The boards
