Modern societies have come to depend on certain vital services, such as electricity, transportation and information, and a loss of their continuous supply would affect the modern citizen far more than his or her 19th century counterpart (Boin et al., 2003). Past disruptive events have, furthermore, highlighted the existence of dependencies between the systems that sustain these services, commonly

Severe joint injuries often involve cartilage defects that propagate after mechanical loading. The propagation of these lesions may contribute to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). However, the mechanisms behind their propagation remain unknown. Currently, no numerical predictive methods exist for estimating crack propagation in cartilage under cyclic loading, yet they would

A central goal in ecology is to predict what governs a species’ ability to establish in a new environment. One mechanism driving establishment success is individual species’ traits, but the role of trait combinations among interacting species across different trophic levels is less clear. Deliberate or accidental species additions to existing communities provide opportunities to study larger scale

Background: Rehabilitation after stroke seldom focuses on needs related to an active everyday life and the process of change that people must undergo to adapt to an altered capacity and life situation. In particular, occupational therapy in the late phase needs to support clients in adopting sustainable self-initiated management strategies to regain daily activities and an active everyday life. To

How does parental social status affects child status attainment across time? Social mobility studies have traditionally studied parent-child associations using one ‘dominant’ parent to reflect social origin. However, the institutions of family and work have changed substantially over the past 150 years, in Sweden as elsewhere. These changes are associated with changes in intergenerationalstatus mo

Nickel-based superalloys are known to be difficult to machine. These alloys are generally machined with cemented carbide tools under low productivity process conditions. Superhard polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) tooling offers the possibility of increased production rates, however, a thorough understanding of the material performance and degradation is required before a transition from

Driven by the Paris agreement and tightening IMO regulations, the marine sector is focusing on lowering engine emissions and moving to low-carbon fossil or renewable fuel such as methane. The dual-fuel concept allows the usage of methane as main energy-source in diesel engines. A small pilot diesel injection acts as an ignition source for the premixed methane. It was investigated how NOx formation
