Arbetet har utförts på Scania, avdelningen för specialfordon från november 2009 till april 2010. Scania har en lång bakgrund som leverantör av militära fordon till försvarsmakter världen över. Scanias militära lastbilar är uppbyggda av samma grundstThis report is a result of a Master Thesis project in mechanical engineering by Andreas Byström and Josefin Salomonsson. The thesis was carried out at Scania CV AB at the department for Special Vehicles and the Division of Machine Design at the Department of Design Science at LTH from November 2009 to April 2010. Scania has a long tradition of designing and deliver vehicles to national defence fo

Chapter 2 analyses the relationship between capital structure and industry classification of Swedish firms. This study also analyses the determinants of the capital structure at the industry level. Since the assumption required for a parametric analysis of variances are not satisfied, a nonparametric method is applied to test for cross-industry differences in capital structure. The results show th

The business potential of software defined radio (SDR) technology is studied by evaluating whether or not its characteristics correspond to those particular to a disruptive technology. The maturity of the SDR technology concept is illuminated by analyzing the opinions and perspectives of a selection of representatives for different stakeholders in the wireless communications market. Characteristic

The technological evolution and widespread availability of wearables and handheld ECG devices capable of screening for atrial fibrillation (AF), and their promotion directly to consumers, has focused attention of health care professionals and patient organizations on consumer-led AF screening. In this Frontiers review, members of the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration provide a critical apprais

Mathematical modeling is very important when experimental settings with human subjects are restricted to thermal limits necessary to protect the individual. The predicted heat strain (PHS) model has been published AS ISO 7933 for about six years. It describes a method for predicting the sweat rate and internal core temperature that the human body will develop in response to the working conditions.

*Summary: The bacterium Escherichia coli is a common host organism for recombinant protein production. A problem encountered is the accumulation of the by-product acetate, which tends to reduce growth and protein production (1). Formation of acetate can be avoided by a proper substrate feeding strategy, but most strategies require considerable process knowledge to work well. The main problem is th

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus are important for the rheological behaviour and texture of a variety of fermented food products. Furthermore, EPSs from food-grade LAB have potential as food additives and functional food ingredients with both health and economic benefits. However, the production lev

Purpose - This paper aims to explore the electronic design of the Touch Hand: a low-cost electrically powered prosthetic hand. The hand is equipped with an array of sensors allowing for position control and haptic sensation. Pressure sensors are used on the fingertips to detect grip force. A temperature sensor placed in the fingertip is used to measure the contact temperature of objects. Investiga

Studien har som syfte att förstå de drivkrafter och hinder som finns för att bygga mer hållbart samt hur entreprenören kan använda drivkrafterna för att inspirera beställare till att välja mer klimatbesparande åtgärder. Genom att skapa en bredare kunskap och förståelse för hur entreprenörer på ett enklare sätt ska kunna implementera fler gröna åtgärder under upphandlingsprocessen till privata bestThe purpose of the study is to understand the existing incentives and obstacles for a more sustainable construction, as well as examine how the building contractors can use these incentives to influence the developers to choose more climate friendly solutions. By creating a broader knowledge and understanding for how the building contractors can implement more green solutions in the procurement ph

The energy balance at most surface-atmosphere flux research sites remains unclosed. The mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between measured energy inputs and outputs across the global FLUXNET tower network are still under debate. Recent reviews have identified exchange processes and turbulent motions at large spatial and temporal scales in heterogeneous landscapes as the primary cause of the la

Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater

Objectives: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of adnexal torsion. Methods: This was a retrospective study. From the operative records of the eight participating gynecological ultrasound centers, we identified patients with a surgically confirmed diagnosis of adnexal torsion, defined as surgical evidence of ovarian pedicle, paraovarian cyst and/or Fallopian tube twisted on its

Doctoral education in the technical fields has several distinct features, such as, the research is often projectbased, interdisciplinary, dependent on external funding, and affiliated with an industry. In other words, the epitome of a “modern doctorate” (Fillery-Travis, 2017; Lee, 2018). While literature on doctoral supervision in general is abundant (see e.g. Gatfield, 2005; Gurr, 2001; Ives &

Recent advancements in catchment hydrology (such as understanding catchment similarity, accessing new data sources, and refining methods for parameter constraints) make it possible to apply catchment models for ungauged basins over large domains. Here we present a cutting-edge case study applying catchment-modelling techniques with evaluation against river flow at the global scale for the first ti

Background: Persons with clinical onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before 65 years of age are diagnosed with early-onset AD (EOAD). The prevalence of EOAD is low, but varies among studies from 6% to 16%. Most individuals with EOAD are still working, have an active social life, and might have children living at home. Therefore, the consequences of being diagnosed early with a disease that implies

This paper looks at the place of heritage in city branding in China and the different discourses and narratives found in city promotional films and independent documentary films. A city’s character is shaped by its history. All the different cultural, social and historical events that have taken place in the city inform its identity and urban form, as manifested in monuments and buildings from di

BACKGROUND: The indication, composition and timing of administration of non-resuscitation fluid in septic shock have so far received little attention and accordingly the potential to reduce this source of fluid is unknown. The objective of the study was to quantify and characterize non-resuscitation fluid administered to patients with septic shock.METHODS: This prospective observational study was
