Cooling is an energy consuming operation in the food industry. Rapid cooling reduces the risk of growth of micro-organisms, improves the quality of the food product and increase the production rate.

A crack model that considers general normal and shear loading is proposed. It involves elasticity, plasticity and damage and it is thermodynamically based. An essential feature of the model is its consistency with the concepts behind the fictitious crack model.

A model for foot skin temperature prediction was evaluated on the basis of 2 experiments on subjects at various environmental temperatures (light seated manual work at -10.7 °C (Study 1), and a short walking period in combination with standing and sitting at +2.8 °C, -11.8 °C and -24.6 °C (Study 2), with boots of 3 insulation levels. Insulation of the footwear was measured on a thermal foot model.

This paper discusses control of dissolved oxygen in a bioreactor when the stirrer speed is used as control signal. During batch and fed-batch cultivations the operating conditions change significantly which causes tuning problems, especially when performance requirements are high. A linearized process model reveals that the variations in the oxygen dynamics are mainly due to changes in the volumet

An upper bound on the effective area and bandwidth product for linearly polarized array antennas is derived. The bound is based on the forward scattering sum rule that relates the antenna properties with the polarizability of the antenna structure. The results are illustrated for a dipole array and a capacitively loaded dipole array with numerical simulations.

Regeln för subjekt-verbkongruens i engelskan anses vara enkel, både att förstå och förklara. Ändå gör L2-inlärare överraskande ofta fel, vilket ständigt påpekas av lärare i skolan och på högskolenivå. Därför har vi undersökt om källan till inlärarnas bristande förmåga är 1) ofullständig kunskap om regeln för subjekt-verbkongruens (d.v.s. explicit kunskap), eller 2) inlärarnas oförmåga att tillämpa

In OFDM-based UWB baseband, synchronizer plays a key role to the performance of the whole system. Therefore achieving an area and power efficient architecture at least SNR loss becomes the main challenge of synchronizer design. To meet 528 Msamples/s throughput, the parallel architecture is used in current approaches. But it leads to higher area and power consumption. In this paper, we propose an

The development of a predictive control algorithm for glycaemia regulation in diabetic subjects requires patient-specific models of the glucose metabolism which are physiologically relevant, parsimonious, yet able to accurately forecast blood glucose. Given the measured data: total plasma insulin [mIU/L]; plasma glucose [mg/dL]; plasma glucose rate of appearance after intestinal absorption [mg/kg
