The coefficient of friction (COF) and wear are critical parameters in assessing disc brake performance. However, their study is challenging due to their interdependence on contact pressure, sliding velocity, temperature, and material composition. The complex contact interactions between brake pads and discs involve the continuous formation and destruction of mesoscopic contact plateaus, which

This review examines the complex interaction between heavy metals and soil microorganisms, focusing on five common heavy metals (HM) (chromium -Cr-, copper -Cu-, nickel -Ni-, lead -Pb-, and zinc -Zn-) in polluted areas worldwide. The systematic review was performed following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The literature selection procedure i

This doctoral thesis in artistic research explores new methods to perform score-based Western art music, based on a transgeneric interpretation by the performer of the score. The project, Plastic Extension of Music, is a response to the need for extending the artistic significance of the performer of score-based music, based on a creative criticism of a tradition that imposes a perpetual and cano

The emergence of the modern urban water system in Iran, albeit facilitated access to clean water and accelerated discharge of waste- and stormwater, it left some negative imprints on country’s urban and natural environment. Among which larger stress on natural water cycles and pollution of water resources are of great importance. More importantly, such impacts are occurring when cities are going t

This paper looks at the role of gender in the shaping and exercise of political authority. Its empirical focus is a slum in central Trivandrum, Kerala's capital city, which is undergoing a phased process of formalisation and rebuilding funded through a flagship Indian national programme, the JNNURM. The upgrade project should offer a dense network of ‘invited’ spaces for female participation withi

The Swedish botanist, Darwinist, socialist, and atheist Bengt Lidforss (1868–1913) passed away one hundred years ago, on September 23, 1913. His research was mainly focused on plant physiology, and the problem of speciation within the genus Rubus (blackberries) in particular came to follow him as a constant mystery. Besides his work as a teacher, researcher, and finally professor of botany at Lund

A gliding arc discharge can be generated between two diverging electrodes and extended by a turbulent gas flow to form a plume of stable non-thermal plasmas sustained at atmospheric pressure. Gliding arc discharge is rather complicated since it involves plasma chemistry, flow dynamics and discharge-turbulence interaction. Optical techniques, especially laser-based methods, are able to perform in-s

Understanding the structure-property relationship in electrocatalysts under working conditions is crucial for the rational design of novel and improved catalytic materials. This paper presents the Aarhus University reactor for electrochemical studies using X-rays (AUREX) operando electrocatalytic flow cell, designed as an easy-To-use versatile setup with a minimal background contribution and a uni
