The people bordering the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea rely more and more on seawater desalination for safe water supply. Desalination has advantages and disadvantages which to a large extent depend on the region, location, technology, impact and amount of fresh water production. In this region, some 60% of all desalination capacity is installed. The three regions areas repre

The described technical-economic model clarifies the influence of different production technological factors on the processing cost of a part. Influential factors can be weighted against each other, which leads to different production development scenarios and their effects on the processing cost can be studied. This implies a way to generate a basis of decision by which a company can base their p

Combustion modeling based on a multi-step global reaction mechanism [1] is applied to CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of a scaled swirl-stabilized 4th generation premixed DLE (Dry Low Emission) burner for gas turbines. The flexi-fuel burner consists of a MAIN premixed flame, a premixed PILOT flame and a confined RPL (Rich Pilot Lean) flame. Both steady-state RANS (Reynolds Averaged Nav

The Wilms' tumour gene 1 (WT1) protein is highly expressed in most leukaemias. Co-expression of WT1 and the fusion protein AML1-ETO in mice rapidly induces acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Mechanisms behind expression of WT1, as well as consequences thereof, are still unclear. Here, we report that the fusion protein BCR/ABL1 increases expression of WT1 mRNA and protein via the phosphatidylinositol-3

Abstract in UndeterminedThe Base of the Pyramid (BoP) consists of about two-fifths of the world population. This population can be categorized as poor with income of less than 2 dollars per day. It is important to alleviate poverty. One of the promising approaches to tackle the wicked problem of poverty is business development combined with poverty alleviation. In this approach, integrated solutio

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the influence of wall conduction on the heat transfer of supercritical n-decane in the active regenerative cooling channels. Design/methodology/approach: A horizontally placed rectangular pipe with a solid zone and another one without a solid zone were used. A drastic variation of thermo-physical properties was emphatically addressed. Afte

Älska Skog educational competition (Gothenburg, Sweden)Gothenburg-based educational institute Universeum is running annual design competitions on forest topics for primary school pupils, starting in 2016. Based on various activities in which pupils gain knowledge about forest-related challenges and opportunities as well as forestry, they would design plans to deal with those problems. After a firs

With expanded HIV treatment and prevention programmes, most infants born to HIV-positive women are uninfected, but the patterns and determinants of their growth are not well described. This study aimed to assess growth patterns in a cohort of HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants who participated in an experimental HIV vaccine trial and to test for associations with maternal and infant factors, inc

Purpose: The pin fin is applied into a Lamilloy cooling structure which is broadly used in the leading edge region of the modern gas turbine vane. The purpose of this paper is to investigate effects of the layout, diameter and shape of pin fins on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in a newly improved Lamilloy structure at the leading edge region of a turbine vane. Design/methodo

Background: Health professions education programs are tasked with designing curricula to effectively andefficiently equip their graduates with the required competences and life-long learning skills needed fortoday’s fast-paced, knowledge intensive society. Continuous monitoring and improving of educationalquality is essential to attain these goals. Quality assurance is multi-faceted and requires t

Med hjälp av ett automatiserat mätsystem för partikelhalter i vatten har vattenkvaliteten vid Borensbergs vattenverk i Motala kommun undersökts under ett års tid med avseende på mikroskopiska partiklar i dricksvatten och råvatten. Antalet mikroskopiska partiklar registrerades som absoluta värden i realtid. I denna artikel diskuteras hur larmgränser skall definieras i praktiken för partikelhalter oDuring a one year long research project at Borensberg Waterworks, Motala, Sweden, water quality with respect to microscopic particle counts both in raw water and drinking water have been monitored by an online water quality monitoring system. Microscopic particle counts were documented with absolute values in real-time. In this paper, a discussion is introduced on how to analyze large data sets fr
