A price can be set in different ways for a manufactured component, most commonly based on estimated manufacturing costs, market intelligence, and market adopted pricing or customer value. Pricing is one of the key factors when selecting subcontractors in the manufacturing sector. As a subcontractor, there are certain risks connected with pricing of a product, too low pricing leads to losses, where

Många processer i naturen går inte att förklara utan att gå ner på den molekylära skalan och studera enstaka laddningar som elektroner.Till exempel är laddningars rörelse i molekyler en viktig aspekt i fenomen som blixtar och norrsken. Ofta kan dessa processer bara uppstår när sammansättningen av atomer eller molekyler är på ett specifikt sätt; på samma vis som två hjul och en ram behöver sitta ihThe origin of properties in complex systems can often be traced to mechanisms involving charge and energy transfer in only a few embedded molecules. The detailed study of the time evolution of these mechanisms in their original environment is a challenging task. In this thesis we develop experimental tools and methods to enable the study of charge and energy transfer. A new ion and electron moment

Advances in software virtualization and network processing lead to increasing network softwarization. Software network elements running on commodity platforms replace or complement hardware components in cloud and mobile network infrastructure. However, such commodity platforms have a large attack surface and often lack granular control and tight integration of the underlying hardware and software

With the increased frequency of human 7T scanners, there is also a drive towards the implementation advanced MR sequences, such a myelin water imaging, at high fields. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of translating 3T myelin acquisitions scheme, GRASE, to 7T. We studied the distribution of T values at 7T and determined that myelin water has a T

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors capable of selective binding to their target (template) molecules and, hence, are used as recognition elements in assays and sensors as a replacement for relatively unstable enzymes and antibodies. Herein, we describe a manufacturing-friendly protocol for integration of MIP nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) with a (label-free) capacitive sensor.

Comprehensive experimental data on the fatigue properties of extruded Al6082-T6 is used together with crystal plasticity simulations to investigate the microstructure and surface roughness influence on fatigue initiation. Thesurface roughness of the specimens used in the experiments was mapped with White Light Interferometry (WLI) and the location of the fatigue initiation sites was identified and

This review updates our knowledge on pressurised liquid extraction, PLE (also known as accelerated solvent extraction and pressurised fluid extraction) of persistent organic pollutants such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls from environmental matrices. The basic experimental set-up is presented, and parameters influencing the extraction process are discussed. PLE c

There is no consensus in the literature about the role of socioeconomic factors on influenza mortality during the 1918 pandemic. While some scholars have found that social factors were important, others have not. In this study, we analyzed differences in excess mortality by social class in Sweden during the 1918 pandemic. We analyzed individual-level mortality of the entire population aged 30–59,

Innovation and entrepreneurship are essential processes for human development, market growth, and technological breakthroughs, and it is vital for economic growth. Despite its importance, innovation is inherently difficult to measure and hence it is almost impossible for an individual or organization to know how they can improve their innovation output or claim that they are great at innovation. T

The hindered-settling velocity function for the modelling, simulation and control of secondary settling tanks can be determined from batch tests. The conventional method is to measure the velocity of the descending sludge-supernatant interface (sludge blanket) as the change in height over time in a vessel with constant cross-sectional area. Each such experiment provides one point on the flux curve

The hydroxyl radical (·OH) is a powerful oxidant that is produced in a wide range of environments via the Fenton reaction (Fe2+ + H2O2 → Fe3+ + ·OH + OH-). The reactants are formed from the reduction of Fe3+ and O2, which may be promoted by organic reductants, such as hydroquinones. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of ·OH formation in reactions between 2,6-dimethoxyhydroquinone

The area of Internet of Things (IoT) is growing and it affects a large amount of users, which means that security is important. Many parts of IoT systems are built with Open Source Software, for which security vulnerabilities are available. It is important to update the software when vulnerabilities are detected, but it is unclear to what extent this is done in industry today. This study presents
