The formation and growth of a crack in a body subjected to stress driven material dissolution is studied. The rate of material dissolution is proportional to strain energy and curvature of the body surface. The formation of a crack from a plane surface is preceded by an evolving surface roughness. The continued dissolution enhances roughness amplitude resulting in pit formation. As the pit grows d

A forager's gain curve, the cumulative number of prey harvested from a patch as a function of time spent in the patch, influences optimal patch departure rules and interpretations of patch use data. We describe models of five different search strategies that yield different gain curves. Hence they would influence a forager's decision for patch departure differently and, consequently, how researche

In this paper, the performance of a binary phase shift keyed random time-hopping impulse radio system with pulse-based polarity randomization is analyzed. The effects of interframe interference and multiple-access interference on the performance of a generic Rake receiver are investigated for asynchronous systems in frequency-selective environments. A key step is to model the asynchronous system a

A set of equations are put into a code forming a procedure to derive intensities of fluorescence lilies based on both physical properties of the fluorescent plasma and its location relative to the origin of the pumping emission. In a first test, the code is applied to symbiotic stars, and effort is made to explain the circumstances under which the two known Fell channels pumped by C IV are activat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sprickkontroll av betongkonstruktioner är ett viktigt men ofta styvmoderligt behandlat område. Detta gäller speciellt för konstruktioner utsatta för tvångsbelastning, t ex temperaturbelastning eller krympning av betongen i kombination av yttre tvång. Syftet med sprickkontroll kan antingen vara att undvika sprickor eller att begränsa sprickbredden. Syftet med denna forskThis thesis is concerned with crack control due to imposed deformations in concrete structures. The objective of crack control may either be to prevent cracking or to limit the crack widths. The aim here is to increase the knowledge in both fields for some common structures. Five papers are included and the three last concern crack development. Paper I: Friction tests are performed for slabs cast

This paper presents the design and validation of a universal 6D seam tracking system that reduces the need of accurate robot trajectory programming and geometrical databases in robotic laser scanning. The 6D seam tracking system was developed in the flexible unified simulation environment, integrating software prototyping with mechanical virtual prototyping, based on physical experiments, The vali

Analys av den brittiska science fiction-filmen under 1960- och 1970-talen med filmen Moon Zero Two som exempel.

Measurements of skin dose, integrated skin dose area, and integral dose in combined conventional and magnification renal angiography using lanthanoxibromide screens MR 600 and carbon fibre plate in filmchangertop have been made. The mean skin dose in magnification technique was 0.56 rad./film with focus-skin distance of 35 cm, FFD 1 m, 85-90 kV and sagittal diameter of abdomen of 20 cm. The combin

OBJECTIVE: In order to elucidate why spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) develop larger brain infarcts distal to an arterial occlusion than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, we determined the surface and volume densities of cerebral capillaries, and the regional cerebral blood flow distal to an arterial occlusion in SHR and WKY rats. DESIGN: Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was chosen

Background: S100B, a protein abundant in astroglial cells within the central nervous system, has been shown to increase in cerebrospinal fluid and serum after various neurologic diseases. However, the cerebral specificity of S100B has been questioned. This study aims to show serum S100B levels after uncomplicated bone fractures in patients without current or prior neurologic diseases. Methods: Blo

The dynamics of electron transfer within an excited ruthenium complex as well as between a ruthenium complex and a nanostructured TiO2 film is addressed on the core hole few femtosecond lifetime scale. The ruthenium complexes studied are Ru(bpy)32+·2Cl− (where bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine) as well as Ru(bpy)2(dcbpyH2)2+·2PF6− (dcbpy is 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bypyridine) anchored to a nanostructured TiO2 su
