The chuck has for a long time been considered the weakest link of a lathe. This is mainly due to its twofold connection, to the machine spindle on the one hand and to the work-piece on the other. An additional limitation of the chuck lies in the incomplete knowledge one has of the load it is exposed to during operation, which usually leads to a less than optimal machining process. Unless our under

This paper examines mass media coverage of Taiwanese high-level political visits to Japan and critically analyzes the phenomenon of nostalgic repetition as a narrative formula in such sources. Stressing its elements of pathos, nostalgia, and sentimental reassurance, I argue that the repetition formula presents an avenue of immense strategic advantage for visiting pro-independence politicians vis-à

Innovation strategies are crucial for corporate success and should be a top priority for packaging companies. However, to improve the innovativeness of packaging manufacturers, there is a need to increase the integration of product and packaging development and collaboration within the supply chain. New methods for innovative packaging development are needed. Packaging plays a valuable role in the

I Inramad skola beskrivs två olika ramperspektiv: å ena sidan Dahllöfs och Lundgrens pedagogiska och utbildningssociologiska ramfaktor-perspektiv, å andra sidan Goffmans frame- eller inramningsperspektiv som befattar sig med social interaktion. Perspektiven sätts i arbete i en analys av inramningar av den obligatoriska skolan baserad på styrdokument, närmare bestämt skolan som institution, som org

Musiken förenar, ger identitet, skapar organisationer ooch nätverk, startar lärprocesser och engagemang, känslor och känslouttryc. Den är "mycket mer än bara rock" och ungdomars musikutövning speglar och bidrar till samhällsutvecklingen. Den här antologin av forskare och praktiker är en del av projektet "Musik och ungdomar" som har målet att öka kunskapen om ungdomars fritid och organisering fram

Scandinavian cinema—consisting of films produced in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland—has been the source of some of the world's most interesting films—The Seventh Seal, Dancer in the Dark, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo—and most influential directors—Ingmar Bergman and Lars von Trier. The Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Cinema covers the history of the Nordic countries thro

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA I blodet finns en mängd olika celltyper som alla har sin specifika funktion. De röda blodkropparna (erytrocyterna), transporterar livsnödvändigt syre till kroppens alla vävnader. De vita blodkropparna (leukocyterna), vilka inkluderar lymfocyter, monocyter och granulocyter, deltar i kroppens immunförsvar och skyddar kroppen Hematopoiesis is a highly complex process by which a range of specialized blood cells are generated from a small pool of multipotent stem cells in the bone marrow. The survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells are tightly regulated by both soluble and membrane-bound cytokines produced within the bone marrow microenvironment. Kit Ligand (KL) and Flt3 Ligand (FL) are t

During the latter part of the 19th century a large number of civilian wind bands, spread over a wide geographical area, developed in Sweden. The general section of this thesis describes the beginning of a transformation of the Swedish society into a more urbanized society. The new musical culture which arose among the people – the ”urban-popular” music culture – is brought into focus. The backgrou

This paper presents the results of an extensive survey on incorrect protection operations performed in Sweden on an electric power system owned by Sydkraft. The survey is based on disturbance reports and special investigation reports for the period 1976-2002. The results indicate the occurrence of the major types and causes of incorrect protection operations that have been revealed at disturbances

A scheme for highly efficient storage and recall of single- and few-photon wave-packets in solid state materials (here inorganic crystals doped with rare-earth ions) is presented. The scheme is supported by experimental data showing that single-photon absorption effects can be observed in these materials and also how the materials can be tailored for the quantum state storage and reconstruction op
