The fracture behaviour of ferritic/ferritic martensitic steels in Ductile to Brittle Transition (DBT) region is well captured by Master Curve approach, except in the upper region of transition due to ductile tearing prior to cleavage. The fracture toughness behavior in the upper region of DBT is generally censored by Master Curve. In this work the Master Curve approach is modified to extend its a

The assessment of fracture behaviour of ferritic/ferritic martensitic steels in Ductile to Brittle Transition (DBT) region iscrucial for shallower cracks. In this work the fracture behavior of In-RAFM steels isinvestigated with systematically varying a/W using Master Curve approach. This a/W effect is investigated using σ∗-V∗approach by calculating the active volume at simulated crack front. It i

The movie shows E. coli bacteria (strain DSM 1116) attached to a grain of sand. The size of the sand grain is approx. 0.85 mm. The SEM (scanning electron microscope) pictures were taken within a laboratory experiment, measuring the influence of different concentration of E. coli bacteria to the Induced Polarization (IP) method in frequency- and time-domain (LINKIP project, funded by the European U

De pågående globaliseringsprocesserna har gett upphov till ett allt större motstånd bland en påstådd homogen enhet som benämns vårt folk och som binder samman medborgarna som bebor landet och som delar dess politiska, sociala och kulturella egenskaper. I detta sammanhang har de högerradikala populistiska partierna som påstår sig försvara folkets verkliga politiska intressen och vilja fått en allt

Contraction stimulates Na+,K+-ATPase and AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)activity in skeletal muscle. Whether AMPK activation affects Na+,K+-ATPase activity in skeletal muscle remains to be determined. Short term stimulation of rat L6 myotubes with the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide- 1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR), activates AMPK andpromotes translocation of the Na+,K +-ATPase α1-su

Ov Cristian Norocels artikel diskuterar den svenska högerradikala populismenutifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Han kartlägger Sverigedemokraternas omtolkningar av den nationella metaforen om ”det svenska folkhemmet” och analyserar konstruktionen av maskuliniteter inom svensk högerradikal populism. Norocel för fram en specifik tolkning av den begreppsliga metaforteorin, en tolkning som innefattar

The integration of geoinformation with BIM (GeoBIM) is critical to underpin solutions to many city-related challenges. However, to achieve an effective integration it is necessary to consider not only data and technical options but also current practice and users’ needs. This paper describes work carried out within the EuroSDR-GeoBIM project to address this challenge. After investigating potential

This project was carried out as a series of concerts and workshops of organ improvisation with six professional performers. The purpose was to further explore experiences made in the artistic research project Rethinking organ improvisation, which pointed at how improvisation differs in musical character and function between different performance contexts.Our aims were to •rethink improvisation in

Statement of Purpose: Many chronic pulmonary diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are complex and poorly understood. While great progress has been made to elucidate the cellular and molecular pathways underlying these diseases, treatment options remain limited. The dynamic alterations in mechanical pr

Introduction: Body awareness is a movement therapy used in Physical Therapy in Mental Health especially in Scandinavia. The method Basic Body Awareness Therapy has been scientifically investigated in particular for patients with Depression, Schizophrenia and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). Methods: Thirty-four Physical Therapists from 13 countries working with the Basic Body Awareness Thera

Starch is one of the main carbohydrates in food; it is formed by two polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin. The granule size of starch varies with different botanical origins and ranges from less than 1 μm to more than 100 μm. Some physicochemical and functional properties vary with the size of the granule, which makes it of great interest to find an efficient and accurate size-based separatio
