Experimental single-phase, condensation, and evaporation (flow boiling) pressure drop data from the literature and our previous studies were collected to evaluate previous frictional pressure drop correlations for horizontal microfin tubes of different geometries. The modified Ravigururajan and Bergles correlation, by adopting the Churchill model to calculate the smooth-tube friction factor and by
Background and purpose The remodeling of morselized bone grafts in revision surgery can be enhanced by an anabolic substance such as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). On the other hand, BMPs boost catabolism and might cause a premature resorption, both of the graft and of the new-formed bone. Bisphosphonates inactivate osteoclasts and can be used to control the resorption. We studied a combinati
The management of minor and moderate head trauma in children differs widely between countries. Presently, there are no existing guidelines for management of these children in Scandinavia. The purpose of this study was to produce new evidence-based guidelines for the initial management of head trauma in the paediatric population in Scandinavia. The primary aim was to detect all children in need of
Monitoring of glucose in subcutaneous and brain striatum have been extensively studied in the past. While biocompatibility was one of the limitations, others included the messy measuring equipments preclude monitoring in a complex environment. This study tried to establish an amperometric measurement of glucose in pre- and post-insulin-administration on diabetic and hyperglycemia rats via wireless
In this paper a fully coupled thermomechanical two-dimensional simulation model for orthogonal cutting is presented. The model is based on the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation with the remeshing technique. The material model used for the workpiece material includes Johnson-Cook plasticity, and as the chip separation criterion the Johnson-Cook damage law is employed. The different friction
This work investigates the prospective impacts of climate change on wind-driven rain (WDR) and walls through simulating the hygrothermal performance of rain screen of common vertical wall constructions for the climatic conditions of Gothenburg in Sweden. While a substantial amount of work has been done on the impact of climate change on the thermal performance of buildings, this paper studies its
The analytical method described, based on antibody-antigen bio-recognition and the measuring system for amperometric detection, was designed for accurate, easy to use and cost effective quantification of calpastatin, a meat tenderness biomarker. The novel assay for calpastatin quantification was integrated in a portable electrochemical device known as the Tendercheck system and was used to analyze
There have been extensive discussions in academic circles of why some countries develop into welfare states while others do not. Two main factors mentioned in these discussions are economic growth and the need for political stability. In these discussions, the example of Sweden, where the welfare state allegedly emerged from a ‘culture of consensus’, has often been treated as an historic exception
Fossil fuel subsides are estimated to between 523‐1900 billion USD per year, depending on how subsidies are defined. Phasing out fossil fuel subsides is therefore considered a first best solution towards more sustainable energy systems and making progress on fossil fuel subsidy reform has a big potential for climate change mitigation. Also in Sweden that has among the highest environmental taxes i
The goal of this master thesis is to set up a low cost automated robotic test system which can later be reproduced to greatly increase test coverage. Mostly through experimental research this thesis will find good components to use and evaluate these from a performance and cost perspective. It will also develop computer vision algorithms needed and automation software for the final set up. The per
Med ofta stora summor involverade i ärenden relaterade till osäkra hamnar är det av stort intresse för både redaren och befraktaren att etablera deras respektive risk de har under en resa. Den här uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan redaren och befraktaren då redaren har åsamkats skada på grund av en osäker hamn. Frågan är till vilken grad det är möjligt att hålla befraktaren ansvarig för en såWith often large amounts involved, the issue of unsafe ports is of great interest for both the shipowner and the charterer in order to establish what kind of risk they would bear under a voyage. This thesis deals with the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer when the shipowner has suffered a loss due to an unsafe port. The question is to what extent it is possible to hold the char
This thesis explores the interlinking of evaluation and development through an anthropological lens by considering the indigenization process of an evaluation culture, and how evaluation travels across boundaries as an assemblage, similar to many other global phenomena. Central to the thesis is the national evaluation capacity building trend viewed as a two-sided project; first as internal capacit
The aim of this master thesis has been to develop a Blocking device that makes sure that a Spring parking brake is not unintentionally activated after a manual release. There is also a need for developing a new Piston indicator that should give two signals depending on if the Spring parking brake is active or inactive. Both are supposed to fit with a completely new generation of Spring parking bra
Problembeskrivning:Revenue Management handlar om att sälja rätt produkt, till rätt person, vid rätt tid och till rätt pris, som ett sätt att optimera intäkterna och är en vanlig styrfilosofi inom till exempel hotellbranschen. Service Management är en styrfilosofi där olika interna processer understödjer ett tjänsteföretags arbete med att ge god service tillsammans med tjänsterna som säljs. Problem
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the probable timing of events leading to cerebral palsy (CP) in singletons born small for gestational age (SGA) at term, taking neonatal death into consideration. METHODS: In this registry-based cohort study, data on 400 488 singletons born during 1996-2003 were abstracted from the Medical Birth and the CP registries of Norway. Among 36 604 SGA children (b
Purpose: To assess limits for significant improvement or deterioration of visual fields in diabetic patients based on short-term test–retest variability in subjects with different degrees of retinopathy. Methods: Fifty patients with diabetic retinopathy ranging from level 10 to 75 [according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale] were tested repeatedly with both
OBJECTIVE - To compare the sensitivity and specificity of luciferase immunoprecipitation (LIPS) with radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) for the measurement of autoantibodies to the type 1 diabetes autoantigens glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) and insulinoma-associated protein (IA)-2 beta. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Sera from 49 type 1 diabetic patients and 100 nondiabetic control subjects fro
The aim of this study is to provide a survey of systematic reviews that have evaluated the effects of psychosocial interventions for adult people with intellectual disabilities and/or an autistic syndrome with concurrent mental health problems. Reviews for inclusion were identified through searches of 10 electronic databases. The authors found that 3 out of 126 published reviews met the inclusion
