Two-phase flows are commonly found incomponents in energy systems such as evaporators and boilers. Theperformance of these components depends among others on thecontroller. Transient models describing the evaporation process areimportant tools for determining control parameters, and fast loworder models are needed for this purpose. This article describes ageneral moving boundary (MB) model for mod

Female moths emit sex pheromones to lure a mate. In this thesis I examined the transcriptomes of female moth pheromone glands in order to identify genes encoding proteins involved in pheromone production. Two cDNA-libraries were constructed from Agrotis segetum (Noctuidae) pheromone glands and the remaining body tissue, respectively. The libraries were sampled and sequenced. A total of 707 unigene

This work deals with a detailed analysis of the vibrational spectra of methoxy (CH3O-) and ethoxy (CH3CH2O-) on W(110) and Cu(100) single crystal surfaces. By using theoretical ab initio quantum mechanical modeling, it is demonstrated that an unprecedented quantitative understanding of the vibrational frequencies of a surface adsorbate can be obtained. A qualitative understanding of the intensitie

In this paper the problem of sub-optimal sensor schedulingwith a guaranteed distance to optimality is considered. Optimal in thesense that the sequence that minimizes the estimation error covariancematrix for a given time horizon is found. The search is done usingrelaxed dynamic programming. The algorithm is then applied to onesimple second order system and one sixth order model of a fixedmounted

TINA is an open, object oriented, distributed telecom architecture, with many concepts taken directly from the latest computer research. In TINA, instances of the same object type can be placed on different physical nodes. Therefore, the network performance can be improved by introducing load balancing algorithms. These algorithms should distribute the traffic between the object instances in such

This article investigates the historical development and transformation of Swedish integration policy, including its predecessor immigrant policy, as a “biopolitics of the population”. “Biopolitics of the population” refers in this article to all governmental interventions targeting the population, or parts of it, with a view to producing a collective body of a particular quality and identity. Swe

The article analyzes the Swedish director Mikael Marcimain's two most recent TV-series, "Lasermannen" and "Upp till Kamp", with an emphasis on the ways in which these two historical works use and relate to the archival material of Swedish Public Service Television.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektionssjukdomar är lika vanliga hos fiskar som hos alla andra djur. Dessa infektioner kan orsakas av virus, bakterier samt eukaryota organismer som svamp och protozoer. I naturliga fiskpopulationer utgör detta ett litet problem men får stora ekonomiska konsekvenser i fiskodlingar eftersom ett stort antal fiskar kan infekteras på kort tid och i värsta fall dö, ca 10 Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a Birnavirus that infects salmonid fish. The infection is usually mortal for fish under six months of age, while older fish become carriers, usually without any signs of infection, and will spread the virus to other susceptible fish and to their offspring. IPNV is an icosahedral, naked virion and the genome consists of two segments of double-stranded
