This paper presents direct numerical simulation studies of lean CH4/air and H-2/air flames at high Karlovitz numbers utilizing detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms. Identical Karlovitz numbers are applied to the two flames; however, as the interaction of high turbulence intensity small scale structures with the reaction zones is considered, a significant difference in the effect of the turbulence
This Letter presents a search for pair production of heavy down-type quarks decaying via b' -> Wt in the lepton + jets channel, as b'(b) over bar' -> W(-)tW(+)(t) over bar -> b (b) over barW(+)W(-)W(+)W- -> l(+/-) nu b (b) over barq (q) over barq (q) over barq ($) over barq. In addition to requiring exactly one lepton, large missing transverse momentum, and at least six jets, the invariant mass of
This study investigated the relationship between the absorbed dose to the lens of the eye and the absorbed dose at different measurement positions near the eye of interventional radiologists. It also visualised the dose distribution inside the head, both when protective eyewear were used and without such protection. The best position for an eye lens dosimeter was found to be at the side of the hea
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) has gained wide acceptance for the extraction of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from various environmental and biological matrices. This extraction technique was developed to shorten the extraction step, since this is one of the most time-consuming steps in many analytical procedures. When POPs enter the food chain, as in a number of recent food crises, th
In a previous experimental study, a novel method for in vivo dosimetry has been investigated, based on radioluminescence (RL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). However, because of (fie large difference in atomic composition between the detector material and the breast tissue, relatively large energy dependence in low-energy X-ray beams can be expected. In the present work, the energy de
Continues positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended for treatment of sleep apnoea (SA) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) but is not easily tolerated resulting in poor patient compliance. Mandibular advancement device (MAD) is designed to inhibit pharyngeal airway (PAW) obstruction and may be a valuable alternative. It has been proposed that MAD exerts its effect by increasing PA
Differential and double-differential distributions of kinematic variables of leptons from decays of top-quark pairs (tt¯) are measured using the full LHC Run 2 data sample collected with the ATLAS detector. The data were collected at a pp collision energy of s = 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb −1. The measurements use events containing an oppositely charged eμ pair and
Background: Previous studies have indicated that transthyretin (TTR) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are altered in depression and dementia. The present study aimed to investigate whether CSF TTR can be used to discriminate between patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) with or without medication, as well as to reveal whether CSF TTR correlates
A search for a heavy resonance decaying into WZ in the fully leptonic channel (electrons and muons) is performed. It is based on proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. No significant excess is observed over the Standard Model predictions and limits are
Human Group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (hGIIA) is an acute phase protein with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Infection models in hGIIA transgenic mice have suggested the importance of hGIIA as an innate defense mechanism against the human pathogens Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Compared to other Gram-positive bacteria, GAS is remarkably resi
This study aims to analyze the representation of social services on TikTok. The representations included experiences and opinions about Swedish social services and how TikTok is used to reach out with descriptions of the social services. The purpose of this study is also to analyse how users' way of presenting themselves can be interpreted from a gender perspective. In this study, we used them
Uppsatsen undersöker om brottmålsprocessens försonande funktion kan ges ett konkret uttryck inom ramen för gällande rätt, genom att beakta medling som ett billighetsskäl för vuxna lagöverträdare. Traditionellt lyfts sökandet efter den materiella sanningen, tillsammans med rättssäkerhet och brottsbekämpning, fram som kärnan i brottmålsprocessen. Enligt doktrin och SOU 2013:17 har brottmålsprocesseThis thesis examines whether the reconciliatory function of the criminal procedure can be given concrete expression within the framework of current Swedish law, by recognizing mediation as a sentence mitigating factor for adult offenders. Traditionally, the pursuit of material truth, legal certainty and crime prevention are regarded as the core purposes of the criminal procedure. According to leg
I syfte att skapa tryggare bostadsområden trädde nya regler i kraft i hyreslagen den 1 juli 2024. Reglerna syftar till att ge hyresvärdar ökade möjligheter att säga upp hyresgäster som är involverade i brottslighet och som skapar otrygghet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda vad dessa nya bestämmelser innebär och om det finns skäl att införa dessa även för bostadsrätter. För att uppnå syftNew rules came into force in the Tenancy Act (Sw. hyreslagen) on 1 July 2024 to create safer residential areas. These rules aim to give landlords greater opportunities to evict tenants involved in criminal activity that creates insecurity for the other tenants. This paper investigates what these new rules mean, and whether there are reasons to extend them to also cover tenant owned apartments. To
This thesis engages with the role of social movements within development studies by analysing how these movements relate to their context and how LGBTIQ movements contribute to current studies on grassroots’ contribution to development. It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio
This thesis examines the personal liability of corporate management for environmental damages under Swedish law, focusing on the provisions in the Environmental Code (MB), the Companies Act (ABL), and the proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The thesis analyzes how these regulatory frameworks interact and how they influence the liability of corporate management in
Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens
Currently, many Global South countries face an unprecedented debt crisis with large portions of their spending going to debt repayments. This financial restrain hinders their capacity to address basic needs and ecological challenges, particularly as climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities. To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at
