This paper highlights and discusses the concept of the jubilee in Antiquity through a series of case studies. The ancient jubilee is defined as a temporally based, and often recurring, communal celebration, which encompasses longer time spans, from ten to a thousand years. The examples elaborated on by the present authors are: the Jewish Yovel, the Egyptian Heb-Sed and the Roman decennalia (Leande
We extend a thermodynamically consistent finite strain micro-sphere framework elaborated by Carol et al. towards the modelling of phase-transformations to allow for the simulation of polycrystalline solids such as, e.g., shape memory alloys and shape memory polymers undergoing large deformations. The considered phase-transformation mechanism is based on statistical physics and allows the considera
Negative staining is an essential and versatile staining technique in transmission electron microscopy that can be employed for visualizing bacterial cell morphology, size, and surface architecture at high resolution. Bacteria are usually transferred by passive electrostatic adsorption from suspensions in physiological saline onto suitable hydrophilic support films on electron microscopic grids. T
This paper considers university-industry relations, identifying the heterogeneity of academic knowledge with respect to economic growth and analysing its implication for the working of the academic mode of knowledge governance. It provides unique historical evidence on the differentiated effects of academic spillovers, using professorial chairs distinguished by disciplinary field, as a proxy, for
We propose a signal-to-noise criterion which predicts whether a feature of a given size and scattering strength, placed inside a larger object, can be retrieved with two common X-ray imaging techniques: coherent diffraction imaging and projection microscopy. This criterion, based on how efficiently these techniques detect the scattered photons and validated through simulations, shows in general th
Emergency Medicine became a supraspeciality in Sweden in 2008. The Swedish Specialist Examination in Emergency Medicine is a formative examination that seeks to guide local training in Emergency Medicine, provide feedback to physicians during their residency, and establish national standards for various processes in Emergency Medicine. It consists of six partial examinations and 118 cases. Documen
Particulate matter emission factors from vehicle brakes are difficult to assess directly from the field. Moreover, there is a lack of a standardized cycle and test stand for evaluating brake emissions. For these reasons, a test cycle was developed from real driving data collected from a car. This new test cycle was implemented on an inertia disc brake dynamometer appositely designed for brake part
This report is the work of a fire safety evaluation of Immanuelskyrkan in Jönköping. The goal of the report is for the fire protection engineer students at Lund University to exercise problem solving in a small group of people, practice the use of computer models and learn about the Swedish building and fire safety codes. The fire computer model used is CFAST, the egress simulation is made by Simu
This study has investigated the factors behind the location decision of Chinese outward FDI. Based on theories and previous research on outward FDI from developing economies, thirteen determining factors of twenty-three countries during the period of 2003 to 2009 were collected and examined. According to the empirical findings, both conventional and unconventional factors were found to have an imp
This paper investigates the potential of using controlled hydraulic transients for non-intrusive assessment of the internal condition of water transmission pipelines. Deterioration of pipelines is a natural process. An effective tool for evaluating the state of pipeline interiors could be extremely useful for planning rehabilitation or identifying critical points in a system. A non-intrusive techn
