The paper provides an overview and preliminary results from ongoing research with the aim to evolve cross-laminated timber (CLT) into the next generation of Tailored Laminated Timber (TLT). This is done by exploring innovative concepts that optimize the mechanical performance, while simultaneously ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. The current study aims at investigating the potent

What does it mean to live with fossil fuels? Studying farmers in the sugar beet districts on the plains of Southern Scandinavia, this thesis investigates the history and ethnography of a troubled relationship between subterranean energy and everyday life. How did it come about that farmers first came to depend on fossil fuels? What changes followed in their use of the land and their gendered divis

We have recently reported that the inner layers of the arteries, the intima-media complex, of common carotid artery, move as much in the longitudinal direction as in the radial direction, during the cardiac cycle. In order to study this phenomenon we have developed a high-resolution ultrasonic method that can simultaneously record both the longitudinal and the radial movements of the arterial wall

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras delar till radiomottagare med extremt låg effektförbrukning. Detta behövs då dagens samhälle blir allt mer och mer uppkopplat, och detta gäller inte bara persondatorer och mobiltelefoner. Med den snabba teknikutvecklingen inom radiokommunikation, driven av små och smarta mobiltelefoner, går det nu även att få prylar av alla de slag att tala meHistorically, research on radio communication has focused on improving range and data rate. In the last decade, however, there has been an increasing demand for low power and low cost radios that can provide connectivity with small devices around us. They should be able to offer basic connectivity with a power consumption low enough to function extended periods of time on a single battery charge,

Summary form only given. Spectra were recorded from a fluorescent light tube under a number of experimental conditions and using different spectroscopic techniques. The motivation of the work was to use spectroscopic techniques for plasma diagnostics purposes. The spectrometers used were a high resolution echelle based instrument and a Fourier transform spectrometer in Lund and a low-resolution in

This paper reports results from two workshops organized with children with visual impairments ranging from blindness to low vision. The aim of the workshops was to suggest gestures for the interaction with a small wearable audio-bracelet. Results show a preference for mechanical buttons and touch-based gestures on the device (mainly tapping and sliding), while only one tentative suggestion is made

The current downturn of the arctic cryosphere, such as the strong loss of sea ice, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and permafrost thaw, affects the marine and terrestrial carbon cycles in numerous interconnected ways. Nonetheless, processes in the ocean and on land have been too often considered in isolation while it has become increasingly clear that the two environments are strongly connecte

Wireless communication systems are by nature and by regulations limited in bandwidth and hence capacity. Services with high demands on quality of service (QoS) will enforce high demands on the available capacity. This observation motivates the development of schedulers that can deliver the required QoS as well as being resource efficient. In this paper, we provide expressions of the worst case del

A method for rapidly assessing a patient's arterial stiffness and hence risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) without resorting to laborious blood tests is presented. Simple measurement of a patient's volume pulse measured at the finger-tip (digital volume pulse) using an infrared light absorption detector placed on the index finger is sufficient to predict their CVD risk. Suitable featu

The individual of a species is the basic unit which responds to climate and UV-B changes, and it responds over a wide range of time scales. The diversity of animal, plant and microbial species appears to be low in the Arctic, and decreases from the boreal forests to the polar deserts of the extreme North but primitive species are particularly abundant. This latitudinal decline is associated with a

A variety of pathogenic bacteria can infect humans and the increase in bacteria resistant to common antibiotics is a large threat to human health worldwide. This work presents a method, based on optical DNA mapping (ODM) in nanofluidic channels, that can detect the type of bacterial present in a sample by matching the obtained maps of large DNA molecules to a database of fully assembled bacterial

BACKGROUND: Diet-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) mainly comes from animal-sourced foods. As progressive changes are more acceptable for a sustainable food transition, we aimed to identify nutritionally adequate and culturally acceptable optimized diets ensuring a gradual reduction in GHGe, using observed diet from a large sample of French adults, while considering the mode of food producti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kryptering kan användas när man vill hålla något viktigt meddelande hemligt, till exempel vid en bankbetalning på Internet. Men hur vet man att krypteringsalgoritmen (sättet att kryptera på) är tillräckligt säker? Hur vet man att ingen kan läsa vårt meddelande eller ändra i det så att, till exempel, en överföring av pengar från ett konto till ett annat går till någon heThe aim of this dissertation is to show some cryptanalytical results on a selection of stream ciphers. We have grouped theory and results into three main parts. The first part focuses on the FCSR-based constructions X-FCSR and F-FCSR-H v3. For the X-FCSR family of stream ciphers we perform a severe state recovery attack. This attack works for both X-FCSR-128 and X-FCSR-256. We then develop a gen

Luxembourg has been able to build up a very rich financial centre due to the use of a strong legal framework, social and political stability in the Grand Duchy and long-standing economic openness to the outside world. It is the second largest investment fund centre in the world after the United States and the premier private banking centre in the Euro zone. As understood, it has attracted many wea

The #FridaysForFuture climate protests mobilized more than 1.6 million people around the globe in March 2019. Through a school strike, a new generation has been galvanized, representing a historical turn in climate activism. This wave of climate protest mobilization is unique in its tactics, global scope and appeal to teenage school students. Media coverage of these protests and high-level nationa

Antibody microarrays are becoming increasingly established in clinical studies. However, the arrays are seldom used in a quantitative approach but rather for detecting up or down regulated proteins. In this study we describe a microarray procedure being standardized by placing the in-house developed porous silicon surfaces into a commercially available 96 well microtiter plate for analyzing the PS

An Integrated Selective Enrichment Target (ISET), microfabricated for efficient on-bead enzymatic digestion of proteins compatible for a direct interface with matrix-assisted laser desorption /ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) is presented.

Production of fish meal and plant-based feed proteins continues to increase to meet the growing demand for seafood, leading to impacts on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Microbial proteins such as single-cell proteins (SCPs) have been introduced as feed alternatives since they can replace current fish feed ingredients, e.g., soybean, which are associated with negative environmental impacts.
