Wear mechanisms and failure modes were investigated for autoclave-cured, woven carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite gears in a mesh with a surface-hardened, 42CrMo4 steel pinion. The reference gears (m = 1 mm, b = 2 mm, z = 20) were tested at torque levels ranging from 0.4 Nm to 0.8 Nm. The temperature was monitored with a thermographic camera, while the gear damage and wear volume wer
This study addresses the postulate of non-conventionality of pantomime, inherent in pantomimic scenarios of language origin. Since lack of semiotic conventions does not preclude micro-conventions resulting from cultural differences, pantomimes should be easier to interpret when the actor and recipient share the same culture than between two different cultures. In the study, Italian and Polish amat
Both advocates and critics of deliberative theory have regarded power relations as problems for public deliberation. Three aspects—interests, ideology and status differences—have been thought to distort deliberative processes. This article discusses a growing body of case studies that indicate that these “problems” may actually, under certain conditions, help facilitate inclusion and equality in d
Whole cells of Arthrobacter simplex were immobilized in a living state in calcium alginate gel. The bacteria showed steroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase activity and the production of prednisolone from cortisol was investigated. The Δ1-dehydrogenase activity of the immobilized cells could be increased about ten-fold by incubation in nutrient media (e.g., containing 0.5% peptone abd 0.2% glucose). The reason f
This paper presents the data constituting the catalogue of animal bones from Iron Age settlements in Scania, as published in the book “Animal husbandry in Iron Age Scania, with a catalogue”, and part of the Sheep Ahoy project at Lund University. The dataset consists of osteological data from zooarchaeologically examined animal bone assemblages from Iron Age settlement sites in Scania. The data has
This article studies the implementation of the global norm of women’s inclusion in the Malian peace negotiations. It constructs a theoretical framework for analyzing practices of resistance, which object to the validity of the norm, and practices of refinement, which engage with the application of the norm. Based on interviews with women who attended the Malian peace negotiations it finds that wom
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is a type of molecular radiotherapy that has been used in the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine tumours for over two decades. It is not until recently, however, that it has achieved regulatory approval. The currently approved treatment regimen is a one-size-fits-all scheme, i.e. all patients receive a fixed activity of the radiopharmaceutical (177Lu-DO
