The global energy demand is increasing due to an increase in economic growth and urbanization which is set to rise by 4.6% in 2021. A major part of this increasing energy demand is accomplished by fossil fuels which create environmental pollution. Hydropower is the most mature, reliable, and cost-effective source of energy. However, the operation and maintenance (O&M) of hydro turbines is the

Fibre-reinforced cement mortar (FRCM) has been widely utilised for the repair and restora-tion of building structures. The bond strength between FRCM and concrete typically takes precedence over the mechanical parameters. However, the bond behaviour of the FRCM–concrete interface is complex. Due to several failure modes, the prediction of bond strength is difficult to forecast. In this paper, effe

We have investigated the formation of supported bilayers by coadsorption of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) with the nonionic surfactant P-D-dodecyl maltoside. The adsorption of mixed phospholipid-surfactant micelles on hydrophilic silica surfaces at 25 degrees C was followed as a function of bulk concentration by neutron reflection. Using chain-deuterated d(25)-beta-D-dodecyl maltoside and

We applied 27k spotted cDNA microarray slides to assess gene expression profiles in 26 samples from 24 patients with synovial sarcomas (SS). The data were analyzed in relation to histopathologic type, cytogenetic aberrations, gene fusion type and development of distant metastases. Supervised analysis based on gene fusion type in 12 SS with SS18/SSXI and 9 with SS18/SSX2 revealed significant differ

The accumulation of empirical evidence that outward-oriented developing countries have generally performed better than inward-oriented ones in terms of growth, industrialisation, job creation and other macroeconomic indicators provides an essential lesson for both policy-makers and development economists worldwide. The acknowledged importance of trade and non-traditional exports for development an

The development of a mathematical model and a computer program to facilitate the study of the multi-cylinder paper drying process is presented. Experimentally determined values far different heat and mass transfer coefficients are used to ensure the physical validity of the model. A unique feature of the model is its inclusion of a mass transfer coefficient for the dryer fabric. Thus far, the mass

Världens sötvattensystemen är sårbara och har upplevt betydande miljöförändringar. Utöver direkt mänsklig påverkan, innebär klimatförändringar ytterligare påfrestningar på våra färskvattenresurser. I denna studie undersöks hur klimatförändringar har påverkat tidsperioden av istäckning i svenska sjöar och vattendrag. Observationer från över 750 sjöar och vattendrag i Sverige har analyserats, med viThe worlds freshwater systems are vulnerable and have experienced significant environmental changes. In addition to direct anthropogenic impacts, climate change poses yet another source of pressure on the freshwater resources. This study investigates climate change impacts on ice cover duration in Swedish lakes and rivers. In situ observations from over 750 lakes and rivers in Sweden were analyzed

Mot bakgrund av brottsutvecklingen mot rättsväsendet de senaste åren har begreppet otillåten påverkan fått en mer framträdande roll. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och utreda om problematiseringen kring begreppet otillåten påverkan samt ge förslag hur gällande rätt bör se ut. Begreppet otillåten påverkan är i sig inte ett brott i straffrättslig mening men omfattar ett flertal påverkansfThe concept unlawful influence has been given a more prominent role as a result of the recent development of crime against the judicial system. The purpose with this thesis is to analyse the concept unlawful influence and propose a suggestion on what the applicable law should be in this area. The concept itself is not a criminalized act and it covers several types of influences. However it is undi
