Enhancing the transformation-induced plasticity effect in steel-based binders through deformation-induced martensitic transformation requires careful control of the austenite stability. This study investigated the effect of binder fraction on the thermal stability of austenite in the WC-(Fe,Ni) system with different binder contents within the WC + binder + graphite equilibrium region. Binder marte
Circadian variation in atrial fibrillation (AF) frequency is explored in this paper by employing recent advances in signal processing. Once the AF frequency has been estimated and tracked by a hidden Markov model approach, the resulting trend is analyzed for the purpose of detecting and characterizing the presence of circadian variation. With cosinor analysis, the results show that the short-term
Lamb modes with zero group velocity at nonzero wave numbers correspond to local and stationary resonances in isotropic plates. Lamb modes can be utilized for nondestructive evaluation of the elastic properties and thickness. One example of an application is the testing of plate-like concrete structures. In this example, continuous variation in the material velocity through the thickness may occur.
This study represents the first large scale assessment of the ichthyofaunal biodiversity in Gansbaai, Souuth Africa by using BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) in the bay. Results show that the bay supports a diverse and abundant fish community, including several species that are of conservation concern. Forty species from 22 families were recorded across 89 sample sites across three habitat ty
We consider the phase coherent transport of a quasi-one-dimensional beam of Bose-Einstein condensed particles through a disordered potential of length L. Among the possible different types of flow we identified [T. Paul, P. Schlagheck, P. Leboeuf, and N. Pavloff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 210602 (2007)], we focus here on the supersonic stationary regime where Anderson localization exists. We generalize
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at in-plane beam loading conditions present a very complex stress state and many failure modes need to be considered in design. The work presented here aims at finding improvements of a specific analytical model for stress analysis and strength verification that has been suggested in literature and which is also suggested as a basis for design equations for the next ve
A cohesive interface model based on a master curve is proposed for the analysis of delamination in paperboard under various loading, unloading, and reloading conditions. The model is thermodynamically consistent and considers the effects of elasticity, plasticity, and damage. The proposed model is verified by comparing its predictions with experimental data obtained from multiple loading–unloading
Recognising the macroeconomic importance of private consumption, this thesis aims at examining possible forces that drive changes the level of households’ consumption. I do so by analysing the relationship of housing wealth, financial wealth, and consumption of households in Sweden in the short and long run. Using an M-TAR approach I find evidence for cointegration of these variables. Housing weal
Driving comfort is subjective; every driver has their set of preferences on how a car should behave. As the ability to control and suppress unwanted disturbances has increased with increased technological abilities, the demands on driving comfort in modern cars also rise. To account for these new demands, the testing and evaluation of the driving comfort becomes increasingly important for car manu
Background: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), e.g. relaxation parameter mapping, may be sensitive to structural and compositional tissue changes, and could potentially be used to non-invasively detect and monitor early meniscus degeneration related to knee osteoarthritis. Objective: To investigate MR relaxation times as potential biomarkers for meniscus degeneration through comparison
Aims and objectives. To present data on Swedish ICU nurses’ attitudes to brain death and organ donation and to test a questionnaire designed to explore these issues in terms of validity and reliability.Background. Previous studies have identified various barriers to organ donation. The single most important factor was the attitude of ICU staff.Design. A 34‐item instrument was developed to explore
In a population-based study on cobalamin status and incident fractures in elderly men (n = 790) with an average follow-up of 5.9 years, we found that low levels of metabolically active and total cobalamins predict incident fractures, independently of body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), and cystatin C. Cobalamin deficiency in elderlies may affect bon
Background: Prostate cancer ranks as the second most lethal malignancy in the Western world. Previous targeting of prostate-specific antigen and human kallikrein-related peptidase 2, two related enzymes abundantly expressed in prostatic malignancies, with radioimmunoconjugates intended for diagnostic purposes, have proven successful in rodent prostate cancer (PCa) models. In this study, we investi
I dagens samhälle kan mycket förklaras med hjälp av fysik, men det finns också väldigt mycket som vi inte kan förklara eller förstår fullt ut. Ett exempel på detta är vår egen galax, Vintergatan. Hur bildades den? Varför ser den ut som den gör? Det finns flera teorier om hur det kan ha gått till, men mycket är ännu oklart för forskare. Teorierna måste testas. I dag består Vintergatan av många olikThe aim of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way stellar disc by looking at the abundance ratios for neutron-capture elements in thin and thick disc stars. In this project the formation of our Galaxy’s thin and thick disc was studied by analysing 10 different neutron-capture elements in field stars measured by Gaia-ESO. The methodology to determine if this
Bakgrund: Avdelningen International Manufacturing (IM) vid Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) i Göteborg är ansvarig för försörjning och leverans till Volvos internationella produktion. Detta genomförs genom en knock-downprocess, där färdigställda lastbilar skickas i kit för att sedan bli monterade på plats, vid den lokala fabriken. Denna försörjningskedja kräver annan anpassning och hanterar mBackground: The International Manufacturing division (IM) at Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) in Gothenburg handles the supply of Volvo’s international manufacturing efforts. This is done using knock-down manufacturing where complete trucks are sent in pieces to be assembled at location. IM’s supply chain is nonconforming in both processes and volumes, compared to the central Volvo organizati

I samband med digitaliseringen och den ökade användningen av sociala medier har allt fler myndigheter och myndighetsanställda börjat använda sig av sociala medier. De flesta myndigheter har officiella konton på sociala medier där myndighetsföreträdare publicerar inlägg med information för sin arbetsgivares räkning. Även vissa myndighetsanställda, såsom lärare och poliser, har konton på sociala medDue to digitalization and the increased use of social media, more and more authorities and public employees have started to use social media. Most authorities have official accounts on social media where authority representatives publish information on behalf of their employer. Even some public employees, such as teachers and police officers, have accounts on social media with, in some cases, seve
This research systematically mapped the relationship between political ideology and receptivity to pseudo-profound bullshit—that is, obscure sentences constructed to impress others rather than convey truth. Among Swedish adults (N = 985), bullshit receptivity was (a) robustly positively associated with socially conservative (vs. liberal) self-placement, resistance to change, and particularly bindi
We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72,284 cases and 80,354 controls from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Interactions were evaluated using standard logistic regression, and a newly developed case-only method, for breast cancer risk overall and by estrogen recep
