Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and Rayleigh scattering measurements were used for the study of turbulence/combustion interactions in distributed reaction regimes including flameless or MILD combustion. A novel laboratory scale burner (Distributed and Flameless Combustion Burner - DFCB) was used to reach uniquely high Karlovitz numbers, presently reported up to 14,400. It consists of a hi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are root symbionts that enhance plant growth and improve soil fertility and soil structure in drylands. Even though AM fungi are obligate biotrophs, organic matter (OM) can stimulate their growth, but the mechanisms behind this are still unknown. Here, we compared the effect of nutrient patches of different OM sources to intrinsic components of OM such as inorgani
Abstract in UndeterminedAn efficient lighting control systems (LCS) should take advantage of the natural light available, but this presents some technical challenges as well as user related issues. So far, the assessment of lighting energy consumption of LCS has been based on technical features rather than the occupants’ acceptance.This article presents the results of a monitoring study providing
Although COPD is a major disease worldwide there is a perplexing current uncertainty about the nature of this disease. COPI) is characterized at onset and prevalently by the involvement of the lungs and bronchi, but as the disease evolves abnormalities develop in other organs and systems and the question arises: what is the pathogenesis of these respiratory and systemic impairments? Are the altera
One option for coping with wasteful uses of fresh water in landscape irrigation is to use the treated greywater(GW). In the present study, an evaluation of a simple treatment system for reusing GW to irrigate green areas,trees, and ornamentals all over the campus in Tafila Technical University (TTU), Jordan, is presented. After 12 months of using the treatment system, the necessity for using fresh
Kraft lignin was used to formulate adhesives in combination with polyethyleneimine, chitosan and soy protein, respectively. The tensile strengths of bond lines formulated with laccase-treated and untreated lignin were found to be similar. However, a remarkable difference was noted when laccase-treated lignin was reduced by sodium borohydride prior to reacting either with chitosan or soy protein -
A study is presented about the effects of three glazing colour types (blue, neutral, bronze) on daylight quality, arousal and switch-on patterns for electric lights. This study was carried out using a scale model (1:4) of an office room, where subjective evaluations of the luminous conditions were performed by 36 participants (mean age 23.8 years) with their upper bodies immersed in the model. The
Benzimidazole units have been grafted onto a polysulfone (PSU) backbone via long alkyl thio–ether chains using a two-step procedure. In the first step, lithiated PSU was reacted with 10-undecenoyl chloride to graft PSU with undecenoyl side chains. The second step involved a free-radical thiol–ene coupling reaction between the C=C bonds of the pendant undecenoyl chains and 2-(2-benzimidazolyl)ethan
A 2-y nationwide survey of patients in Denmark with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cultures was undertaken. Patients were identified by means of records held at the International Reference Laboratory of Mycobacteriology, Statens Serum Institut, Denmark. The objectives were to identify isolated NTM to species level, to describe the incidence of the various species and to evaluate the clinical s
Denna uppsats beskriver lagstiftningen angående marknadsdefinition, framförallt av koncentrationer unionsdimension. Slutsatserna appliceras sen till en analys av plattvärmeväxlarindustrin (PHE) för att producera ett exempel på hur en sådan argumentation kan föras. Följaktligen presenteras bakgrundsinformation om plattvärmeväxlarindustrin i kapitel 2. Där presenteras även två separata teknologier (An essay describing the legal regime governing market definition, particularly concerning concentration cases having a Union dimension. The author high-lights difficulties under the current legal regime, consisting mainly of the EU Commission’s Relevant Market Notice and case law. It is concluded that though this gives some guidance, case-law as well as doctrine indicates that parties will be able
This work originated from that Gambro had a problem with their intensive care dialysis machine, Prismaflex™. The blood tube leading from the machine back to the patient had in some cases creased and stopped the blood flow. Gambro thought that a new or modified warmer holder would prevent this from happening and wanted me to develop this holder. The warmer device heats the blood to body temperature
Purpose: The puspose with our essay is to investigate how an acquisition can affect leadership. We want to specialize us by analysing how a leadership and the employees in a smaller company can be affected by an acquisition by a larger organization. We also want to investigate how a good leadership should be in a small company due to an acquisition. Methodology: This essay is based on a qualitativ
The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has measured the centrality dependence of charged particle pseudorapidity distributions over vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2 in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. In order to include particles with transverse momentum as low as 30 MeV, the data were recorded with the central solenoid magnet off. Charged partic
Background: The wrist region is one of the most complex joints of the human body. It is prone to deformity and functional impairment in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and is difficult to examine clinically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) with Doppler in diagnosis of synovitis, guidance of steroid injections, and follow-up examinations of the wrist in J
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is present predominantly in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human plasma, thus possibly involved in the regulation of HDL metabolism and the process of atherosclerosis. Although estrogen replacement therapy increases serum levels of apoAl and HDL, it does not seem to reduce the cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women. Therefore, we investigated the effects of estrogen
BACKGROUND Despite a long interest in the historical fertility transition, there is still a lack of knowledge about disaggregated patterns that could help us understand the mechanisms behind the transition. In previous research the widely held view is that there was a change in the association between social status and fertility in conjunction with the fertility transition, implying that fertility
Aim: To assess the development of preterm infants from 40 weeks gestational age to 18 months corrected age in order to identify early predictors of later development. Methods: Fifty-one infants were involved. Infant development was assessed at 40 and 44 weeks gestational age with the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale and a Self-Regulation Scale and at 3, 6, 10, 18 months corrected age
Recent years molecular imprinting has received considerable attention as an excellent and simple approach to recognize small molecules and bioactive substances. The aim of this study is to prepare the bilirubin-imprinted supermacroporous cryogels which can be used for the adsorption of bilirubin from human plasma. N-methacryloyl(L)-tyrosinemethylester (MAT) was chosen as the preorganization monome
The effect of temperature on the adiabatic burning velocities of diluted hydrogen flames has been analyzed using an updated version of the Konnov detailed reaction mechanism for hydrogen. The contemporary choice of the reaction rate constants is provided with the emphasis on their uncertainties, and the analysis of the performance of the updated mechanism is presented and compared to the previous
