Many vehicle manufacturers have lately introduced advance driver support in some of their automobiles. One of those new features is Adaptive Cruise Control DACCE, which extends the conventional cruise control system to control of relative speed and distance to other vehicles. In order to design an ACC controller it is suitable to have a model of driver behavior. The approach in the thesis is to us
Two-components cycle-resolved Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) measurements were performed with high data rate to resolve the flow in a spark ignition engine. The velocity measurements were then processed with both a frequency and a time domain filtering technique to obtain the level of turbulence at different frequencies. Simultaneous cylinder pressure measurements gave information of the duration
The configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model is used to study the band structures in La-131. Shape coexistence and band termination are investigated for several configurations. The calculations indicate that La-131 is a gamma-soft nucleus. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data. The calculated pi( h(11/2))(2) circle times nu( h(11/2))(8) configuration with (pi,
A new nuclear microscopy technique called ion photon emission microscopy or IPEM was recently invented. IPEM allows analysis involving single ions, such as ion beam induced charge (IBIC) or single event upset (SEU) imaging using a slightly modified optical microscope. The spatial resolution of IPEM is currently limited to more than 10 mu m by the scattering and reflection of ion-induced photons, i
The benefits of increased parental participation in the care of the hospitalised child is well documented, and care given by parents is found to be effective. To facilitate the child’s recovery by providing the parents with information and education about care, and to minimise disruption to the child’s and the family’s normal life the care after hypospadiasis repair was changed. Outcomes were eval
n instrument suitable for measuring the total water content both as small liquid droplets and as vapour in the air, in water mist total flooding extinguishing tests, is presented. The instrument consists of a heater and a Vaisala humidity meter. The Vaisala humidity meter is capable of measuring relative humidity at temperatures up to 180°C. The instrument has a measuring range of 0-600g/m3, a sam
A programme has been started to investigate photon properties that are not currently exploited in astronomical instruments, namely second- and higher-order coherence functions encoded in their arrival time, and the orbital angular momentum. This paper expounds the first results achieved in the study of a novel astronomical photometer capable of pushing time tagging towards the picosecond region. T
A new parameterization for copper at the INDO/CI level is presented. Results for excitation energies, ionization potentials, and electron detachment energies are presented for selected copper clusters with up to ten atoms. The parameterization gives improved results for calculations of spectroscopic properties for systems with significant copper-copper interactions, such as clusters and model surf
Objective: The formation of glucose degradation products (GDPs) during sterilization of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) is one of the most important aspects of biocompatibility of glucose-containing PDFs. Producers of PDFs are thus trying to minimize the level of GDPs in their products. 3,4-Dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE) has been identified as the most bioreactive GDP in PDFs. It exists in a t
Precipitation profiles of spot immunoprecipitate assay (SIA) reactions in gel are shown to have characteristics analogous to classic precipitin curves representing such immune reactions in solution. Thus SIA profiles of precipitated human albumin (HSA) and anti-HSA as checkerboard analysis permit: (1) determination of optimal proportions of antibody and antigen, (2) titration of antiserum as to an
The effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on mucociliary activity in the rabbit maxillary sinus was investigated in vivo by injecting NPY at increasing dosages into the maxillary artery, response being recorded photoelectrically. At dosages of 0.1-5.0 micrograms/kg, NPY reduced mucociliary activity dose-dependently, the maximum decrease being 14.6 +/- 1.8%, at a dosage of 5.0 micrograms/kg. The NPY-induc
A zinc phthalocyanine with tyrosine substituents (ZnPcTyr), modified for efficient far-red/near-IR performance in dye-sensitized nanostructured TiO(2) solar cells, and its reference, glycine-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcGly), were synthesized and characterized. The compounds were studied spectroscopically, electrochemically, and photoelectrochemically. Incorporating tyrosine groups into ph

Assessment of the impacts of climate change in real-world water systems, such as urban drainage networks, is a research priority for IPCC (intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change). The usual approach is to force a hydrological transformation model with a changed climate scenario. To tackle uncertainty, the model should be run with at least high, middle and low change scenarios. This paper shows
Abstract in German Handekzeme sind sehr häufig, können verschiedene Ursachen haben und trotz einer Vielzahl von Behandlungsoptionen, die von topischen Kortikosteroiden über Phototherapie bis zur oralen Gabe von Ciclosporin und Retinoiden reichen, eine therapeutische Herausforderung darstellen.
