This experimental study examines the influence of moisture variations on the load-bearing capacity of steeltimber dowel joints. The glulam specimens used to manufacture the joints were first exposed to controlled climate changes. After being stored in the climate chambers, holes were drilled and dowels were inserted. Then, the joints were loaded to failure. The main aim of this study was to inv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Oberoende av om det är i ett samhälle, datornätverk eller organen i en mänsklig kropp, så är behovet av kommunikation stort i en komplex miljö. Eftersom den komplicerade människokroppen är beroende av kommunikation för att reglera funktioner, skickas otaliga mängder signaler oavbrutet. För att signalerna skall vara meningsfulla så måste de kunna tas emot och behandlas.

The thermodynamic properties of single chain polyelectrolyte and protein models are studied using Monte Carlo simulations and (for the polyelectrolyte models) variational calculations and high- and low-temperature expansions. A variational method is used for minimizing Lennard-Jones energies and for estimating end-to-end distances for a rigid Coulomb chain at finite temperatures. A polyelectrolyte

Introduction: Complex production systems as, for instance, those used in health care, in off shore industry, in nuclear power industry or in aviation suffer now and then from severe system breakdowns. Lessons learnt from these often lead to changes in the "system". A more rational approach would be to identify these "system weaknesses" before accidents happen. A new proactive method, DEB analysis,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Laserbaserd Förbränningsdiagnostik - Elastisk Spridning och Pikosekundlaserinducerad fluorescens Elastisk spridning och Lorenz-Mie (LM) teorin används för att karakterisera droppar av organiskt bränlse med en diameter kring 1 mikrometer. Beräkningar baserade på LM-teorin visar att det spridda ljuset i sido- och bakåtrikningen kan användas för omisskänslig detektion av Elastic scattering and the Lorenz-Mie (LM) theory in particular is used for the characterization of sub-micron- and micron-sized droplets of organic fuels in sprays and aerosols. Calculations on the Lorenz- Mie theory show that backward-sideward scattered visible radiation can be used for unambiguous detection of ensembles of homogeneous droplets of organic substances with diameters around 1 micro

This paper is a component of a three-year empirical study of gaming moms undertaken with the aim to modulate the conventional constructions of gamer identities and examine the contested status of gaming in everyday life. It presents samples of mothers in gaming discourse – from TV, Music-video, forums, and ads. Mothers have been largely invisible in popular gaming discourse or formulaically portra

Despite widespread research on the interaction rules that drive group-living behavior in animals, little is known about the spatial self-organization of individuals in heterospecific groups. This has led to significant challenges in teasing apart the various mechanisms thought to underpin multispecies groups. One potentially useful approach for gaining an understanding of this process is to identi

Purpose To establish a comprehensive set of recommendations for the service structure and skill set of nurses and allied healthcare professionals in prostate cancer care. Methods Using components of formal consensus methodology, a 30-member multidisciplinary panel produced 53 items for discussion relating to the provision of care for prostate cancer patients by specialist nurses and allied healthc

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides produced by essentially all mammalian cells. Due to their enormous structural diversity, they are involved in many biological processes both in health and disease, including all stages of tumor progression. GAGs are normally attached to a core protein as a part of a proteoglycan; however, GAG biosynthesis can be induced by compounds composed of a xylos

Att spåra kunder i online-butiker har länge varit en självklarhet för branschen. Det de flesta inte vet är att det även är möjligt att spåra kunder i fysiska butiker, utan att den personliga integriteten går förlorad.Retail intelligence is a big and upcoming thing in the brick and mortar-world of retail. This simply means that the resellers want to gather as much data about their products,and possibly also their customers, as possible. Some stores might want to know different information than others, but the fact of the matter is that gathering off-line data is slowly entering the world of business. There are

The aim of this study is to see how big the estimated number of unrecorded cases in Sweden are when it comes to reporting sexual molestation and to see if the court sees the victim as an ideal victim. If so, it is in our interest to investigate if the ideal victim can be associated with the number of unrecorded cases. The cases from the court in Malmö has been coded, placed into charts and analyse

This master’s thesis is the final step of the master’s degree in Supply chain and Logistics taken in the Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Buying products on the internet is a trend that has been increasing with the passing years. Even though nowadays this shopping behavior is established in our lives, it is predicted that it will keep growing within the next upcoming years. These changes in the shopping b

While there is a housing shortage in Sweden the global warming continues across the globe, according to IPCC. In order to lessen the global warming sustainable development is needed. Sustainable buildings are a part of the goal to achieve sustainable development within the building industry. “God bebyggd miljö” is one of the environmental quality goals in Sweden. SGBC works actively toward this go

Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on

The space of open source supply chain attacks is ever evolving and growing. There is extensive previous work identifying and collecting open source supply chain attacks, as well as identifying patterns in these attacks and proving that machine learning models may be able to detect these patterns. The aim of this thesis is to develop such a system and study its efficacy in detecting attacks. To ac

This study aims to examine how NATO-states overtly responds to cyberattacks committed by the believed Russian government sponsored hacker group Fancy Bear. After the end of the Cold War the regulation and acceptance for different kinds of covert actions changed in turn with the change in global power dynamics. The current digital environment develops new ways in which states can spy, gather inform

This design researched and explored the new way of solar light use and deploying, on efficiency and usability levels. Recent research has shown that the solar energy has a potential impact on people1, which accounts for one of the most of the available renewable energy on earth. In this research, I decided to look deeply into the appliance of solar light systems, to make solar energy accessible fo

Autenticitet ses av vissa forskare som en central del av välbefinnande. Mot bakgrund av detta ville vi fördjupa förståelsen för upplevelsen av autenticitet hos svenska gymnasieungdomar. Inom ramen för projektet “Välbefinnande och självkänsla på gymnasiet” på Lunds universitet genomförde vi semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med sju ungdomar i årskurs tre på gymnasiet om deras erfarenheter av att må Authenticity is viewed by some researchers as a central aspect of well-being. Considering this, we aimed to deepen the understanding of the experience of authenticity among Swedish high-school youths. As part of the research project ”Well-being and self-esteem in high school” at Lund university, we conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with third year high school students about their
