Due to increasing oil price and environmental concerns, current European initiatives are aiming to increase the share of Biofuel used for transportation from approx. 2 % (2005) to 5.75% in 2010. The production capacity of bioethanol in Germany alone has therefore to increase during this period from 0.7 mio. m³ to 1.8 mio. m³ 1. The feed stocks of current bioethanol concepts are sugar and starch
On the banks of the Göta River, the city of Gothenburg is undergoing a transformation that characterizes many urban waterfronts today, as shipping, fishing, and naval uses are replaced by a high demand for new housing. What is unique to Gothenburg is its vision of a RiverCity that is diverse, environmentally sound, and vibrant. It is imperative, however, to take stock of the successes and failures
The overarching aim of this report is to use it in our future and continued development work at our Sociology of Law Department, Faculty of Social Sciences, Lund University. Another aim is also to keep it in a book for historical reasons: important documents and specific data have a well-known tendency to disappear, after some time.Internationally, Sociology of Law is most often located in centers
Engineering design, in concise terms, is what engineers do using what they know. It is the underlying decision making activity that determines what is to be built and how it should be built. An ever present requirement in engineering design is that the structure should be safe. While historical approaches to safety in design relied on experience and engineering judgment, modern approaches have rat
Longitudinal smooth muscle strips from guinea pig ileum were cultured in vitro for 5 days, and the relationship between extracellular Ca2+ and force in high-K+ medium was evaluated. In strips cultured with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), this relationship was shifted to the right (50% effective concentration changed by 2-3 mM) compared with strips cultured without FCS. The shift was prevented by inclu
The goal of the thesis is to create a method that can be used to smooth data functions so that they are more easily readable and interpretable, through curve fitting. So as to do that, we adapt the smoothing spline method, which uses discrete data, to continuous data.
An experimental and computational study of the near-wall combustion in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine has been conducted by applying laser based diagnostic techniques in combination with numerical modeling. Our major intent was to characterize the combustion in the velocity- and thermal boundary layers. The progress of the combustion was studied by using fuel tracer LIF, t
Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is the most common enterotoxin found in outbreaks of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP). Based on the amount of SEA produced, S. aureus strains were divided into two main groups, high- and low-SEA-producing strains. The differences in the amounts of SEA formed were found to be associated with the levels of expression of the sea gene and the bacteriophage version
How can schools influence the viewpoints students hold on aids and sex? The investigation focused on teaching the subject of aids and sex to secondary school students in grades eight through eleven. Thirteen teachers and their students, in 15 different classes, were studied and compared with a control group; altogether 548 students were included in the investigation. The aim of the study was to de
