Introduction.Kraft black liquor is a side-stream produced during the kraft pulping process containing lignin, hemicelluloses and cooking chemicals. The stream is usually evaporated and burned in the recovery boiler to recover the cooking chemicals and generate energy. The mill is, however, often/sometimes limited by recovery boiler capacity, and removing some of the lignin from kraft black liquor

ABB Machines in Västerås, Sweden develop, sell, and manufacture generators and large electric motors worldwide. During the past years new competitors have emerged from a lower output range and some customers have reduced their demands in order to reduce the generator costs. In order to meet these changes in the market ABB Machines has developed a new pre-engineered standardized generator that allo

Background: Haematopoietic stem cells expressing the CD34 surface marker have been posited as a niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacilli during latent tuberculosis infection. Our aim was to determine whether M tuberculosis complex DNA is detectable in CD34-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from asymptomatic adults living in a setting with a high tuberculosis

Att silver har en bakteriedödande effekt har varit känt sedan många århundraden. Historien om silver sträcker sig ända tillbaka till 4000 år före Kristus då de antika Kaldeérna använde silver och det var på den tiden en av mest använda metallerna tillsammans med guld och koppar. Persiska kungar föredrog att dricka vatten endast från bägare gjorda av silver för att vattnet kunde bevaras friskt och

Idrotten har en särskild position i samhället och behandlas därför därefter. T.ex. särbehandlas idrottsrörelsen genom att de allmänna och rättsliga reglernas tillämpningsområde begränsas gentemot idrotten. Detta är särskilt tydligt på straffrättens område då många idrotter utövas med olika grader av våld vilket accepteras av såväl samhället som rättsväsendet. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför attSports have a special position in the society and are therefore treated accordingly. For example does the community treat sport differently by limiting the scope of the general and legal rules towards the sports movement. This is particularly clear in criminal law, as many sports are exercised with different degrees of violence, which is accepted by both the society and the judiciary. The purpose

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

Två studenter, Safa och Jane, från kemiteknikprogrammet LTH har undersökt möjligheten att hantera hela reningsprocessen av spillvatten på Dow Chemical site i Landskrona genom att installera en pilotanläggning för nanofiltrering i anslutning till den redan befintliga ultrafiltreringsanläggningen. Dow i Landskrona framställer olika vattenbaserade bindemedel från akrylmonomerer och stora mängder vatDuring the spring semester 2018, an investigation about supplementary cleaning of the waste water at Dow Chemical site in Landskrona was done. Different water-based binders from acrylic monomers are produced by Dow and large amounts of water is used for such processes. The wastewater, that is treated currently by ultrafiltration (UF), contains different chemical residues such as surfactants, resid

An Optimization of Inbound Logistic Flows at Haldex by Applying Consolidation and Monitoring to a Distribution Network. By Luca Stoffels and Willem Prinsen Throughout history the same factors have been of major importance regarding the transportation of goods between companies: costs, speed and reliability. Nowadays these factors are even of increased importance as supply chain networks become mo

Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c

Context: The first therapeutic cancer vaccine demonstrating effectiveness in a phase 3 study was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on 29 April 2010. The pivotal trial demonstrated overall survival (OS) benefit in patients treated with antigen-loaded leukapheresis cells compared with a control infusion. Results of other prostate cancer (PCa) vaccination strategies are awaited, as this

Arbetet behandlar digitala produkters rättsliga ställning; närmare bestämt huruvida dessa produkter ska klassificeras som tillhandahållande av tjänster, eller som köp av varor. Med begreppet digitala produkter ska förstås datorprogram, musikfiler, videofilmer, bildfiler, e-böcker, applikationer, datorspel, mm. Fokus kommer att ligga på konsumenternas rättsställning vid förvärv av de digitala produThis essay discusses digital content and their judicial status; especially the issue concerning the classification of digital content as either sales contracts or service contracts. The term digital content is to be understood as computer programs, applications, games, music, videos or texts. This essay will mainly focus on consumers and their rights when purchasing digital content which are not s

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors on the business potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example. And to give recommendations on how a dairy producer, which is present in the Swedish market, could improve the sales rates of products with health claims. We have chosen to put a main focus on the consumer, as he or she determines the b

“The management of innovation is inherently difficult and risky, most new technologies fail to be translated into products and services, and most new products and services are not commercial successes. In short, innovation can enhance competitiveness, but it requires a different set of management knowledge and skills from those of everyday business administration” (Bessant et al. 2005 p. 1). The a

The exhaustion doctrine (also known in some jurisdictions as the ''first sale doctrine See U.S. Copyright Code Section 109(a)'') is one of the basic rules of intellectual property (IP) system, and is applied to many IP rights, from copyright to trademark. The term ''exhaustion'' or ''first sale'' describes the concept of this rule, where, after the &

A larger study surrounding innovation capital has taken place at Lund University in Sweden. The purpose of the study was to examine what meaning the management, research department and the financial analysts perceive in the reported information about innovation capital. The authors have found some prominent patterns that arose during the interviews. The different perspectives between the research

The legal controversy on ''patents on life'' is not new but in the last two decades, we have seen the debate be intensified. Although patents on biological material have been allowed in the United States since the emergence of Diamond v. Chakrabarty in 1980, it was not until scientists at the National Institute of Health tried to patent thousands of gene fragments in the early nine

Enligt rättsstatsideologin ska den enskilde individen tillförsäkras rättssäkerhet. Det innebär att individen ska skyddas mot övergrepp från statens, eller överhetens, sida genom att staten ålägger sig själv vissa restriktioner i maktutövandet. Proportionalitetsprincipen reglerar statens befogenheter och utgör en del av rättssäkerheten genom att tillvarata individens intressen gentemot staten. EnliAccording to the rule of law ideology, the individual is to be ensured legal certainty. This means that the state should impose restrictions on itself in its exercise of power so that the citizen is protected from the states’ abuse. The principle of proportionality regulates the exercise of powers by the state and forms a part of the rule of law ideology by protecting the interests of the individu

Sedan EU-direktivet om rätt till familjeåterförening införlivades i svensk rätt har makar rätt till familjeåterförening i Sverige. Denna rättighet är dock inte absolut, utan bortfaller om äktenskapet med lagtextens ord ingåtts uteslutande för att den ena maken ska få rätt till uppehållstillstånd (s.k. skenäktenskap). Till stöd för bedömningen av vad som är ett skenäktenskap finns kriterier i en EUSince the incorporation in Swedish law of the EU directive on family reunification, spouses have a right to family reunification. This right, however, is subject to limitations, e.g. for marriages which were contracted for the sole purpose of enabling the person concerned to obtain a residence permit (“marriages of convenience”). Criteria in aid of assessing which marriages are marriages of conven
