When simulating homogenous charge compression ignition or HCCI using one-dimensional models it is important to have the right combustion parameters. When operating in HCCI the heat release parameters will have a high influence on the simulation result due to the rapid combustion rate, especially if the engine is turbocharged. In this paper an extensive testing data base is used for showing the com

Popular Abstract in Swedish Information om smärta, klåda och temperaturförändringar förmedlas till centrala nervsystemet av tunna nervfibrer som leder nervimpulser relativt långsamt. Information om beröring av huden förmedlas istället av grova och snabbt ledande nervfibrer. Det är välkänt att olika känselkvaliteter kan interagera med varandra på olika nivåer i centrala nervsystemet. Vanlig berörinIt is known that stimulation of thin nerve afferents can inhibit itch and pain and that the nociceptive systems have a detailed topographical organisation, with subsystems exhibiting specific excitatory and inhibitory receptive fields. On this basis, a new technique was developed, termed Cutaneous Field Stimulation (CFS), that electrically stimulates thin nerve fibers innervating specific skin fie

Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålningsterapi är en viktig metod för att behandla många cancertyper och man söker konstant efter olika sätt att förbättra användningen av joniserande strålning vid behandling. Radiobiologisk forskning för cancerterapi söker att förbättra vår förståelse för hur joniserande strålning verkar på olika livsformer. Idag finns det många sätt att utröna en behandlings inverkFor the development of a Single–Ion Hit Facility (SIHF) for living cells irradiation at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis facility (LIBAF), newly developed pre-cell detectors have been investigated. These detectors can determine the number of ions reaching the sample. Central to the thesis is their fabrication and characterization. Two different detectors ’ Design A and Design B’ were fabricated with thi

Desalination can be a cost-effective way to produce fresh water and possibly electricity. The Gaza Strip has had a complex hydro-political situation for many years. Gaza is bordered by the Mediterranean in the west, by Israel in the north and east and by Egypt in the south. Water and electricity consumption in the Gaza Strip is expected to increase in the future due to the increasing population.

Chondroitin (CS) and dermatan sulphate (DS) are socalled glycosaminoglycans (GAG) that are covalently attached to various type of proteins forming a subgroup within the diverse proteoglycan (PG) family. The PGs studied in this thesis are mostly extracellularly located and include aggrecan, biglycan and decorin. The CS and DS chains both consist of repeating disaccharides of the type (hexuronic aci

In Australia a national public/private telematics framework has been established, which is administered by Transport Certification Australia (TCA). The first application was the Intelligent Access Program (IAP), which has enabled several road transport reforms by managing infrastructure risks associated with the operation of extra heavy vehicle configurations. The paper uses the IAP to demonstrate

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammerat brosk i halsen. Rethosta eller andningsbesvär. Autoimmuna sjukdomar uppstår när immunförsvaret angriper och bryter ner den egna kroppens vävnader. Då kroppen infekteras av bakterier eller virus är immunförsvarets ökade aktivitet däremot en normal skyddsmekanism. Exempel på vanligt förekommande autoimmuna sjukdomar är diabetes, reumatoid artrit (RA) och multRelapsing polychondritis (RP) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases where an inappropriate immune response destroys cartilage. In RP, the ears, larynx, nose and joints are affected, while the most prominent sign of RA is arthritis. For ethical reasons many experiments can not be performed in man, and consequently animal models are needed. To investigate the complexity of the tissu

The aim of this study was to investigate associations between time use in daily activities and sociodemographic and clinical factors in order to identify individuals with persistent mental illness at risk of having an imbalance in daily activities, as reflected in their time use and daily rhythm. Participants (n=103) were selected from a psychiatric outpatient unit using a randomized stratified se

We present a novel design for a macrostructured cathode that can be coated with a thin layer of the B-10 solid converter and mounted to replace the Boron-lined flat parallel plates of a proportional counter used for slow neutron detection. The proposed design consists of a 3D regular pattern exhibiting millimeter deep grooves with an opening angle of alpha = 45 degrees, which could be created in t

We have investigated nuclear fragmentation reactions of a relativistic Pb-208 beam. Ten isomeric states for nuclei with A = 142-152 and Z = 62-67 were observed. Measured isomeric ratios were compared, together with values from other experiments, with prediction of theoretical models. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical values were discussed in terms of transitions by-passing

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) can provide detailed information on organic and minerogenic constituents of sediment records. Based on a large number of sediment samples of varying age (0-340 000 yrs) and from very diverse lake settings in Antarctica, Argentina, Canada, Macedonia/Albania, Siberia, and Sweden, we have developed universally applicable calibration models for the quant
