Advances in Compact Heat Exchangers

State-of-the-art coverage of compact heat exchanger design and technology. This book, a special supplemental issue of the International Journal of Heat Exchangers, contains a selection of papers originally presented at the Fifth International Conference on Enhanced, Compact, and Ultra-Compact Heat Exchangers: Science, Engineering and Technology, which was held in Whistler, British Columbia, Canad

"Prevailing Winds": An analysis of the Liturgical Inculturation Efforts of Karl Ludvig Reichelt

This dissertation deals with the question of Christian contextualization in a Chinese context, with special emphases on liturgical inculturation and the problem of colonization. The subject is studied through an analysis of the liturgical inculturation efforts of Karl Ludvig Reichelt, a Norwegian missionary who founded a separate mission work among Chinese Buddhist monks. The study is based on lit

Emission from Fires Part 1: Fire Retarded and non fire retarded TV sets

The results of detailed measurements of the emissions from simulated fires with TV-sets are presented in this article. Results from both small- and full-scale fire experiments with flame retarded and non-flame retarded TV-sets are discussed. The measurements cover a broad range of chemical species including specific fire retardant agents and both chlorinated- and brominated dibenzodioxins and fura

Ny vuxenhet i ett livsloppsperspektiv

Vad händer i livet från det man är tjugo till dess man är trettiofem och fyrtio? Vad innebär det att bli vuxen i vår senmoderna tid? I mitten av 1980-talet studerade sociologen Margareta Norell och psykologen claes Törnqvist tjogoåringar i tre sociala miljöer. Drygt femton år senare har de nu sökt upp dessa personer och intervjuat dem om deras liv - vad som hänt sedan dess och hur de lever som vux

Multipath Routing From a Traffic Engineering Perspective: How Beneficial is It?

Multipath routing gives traffic demands an opportunity to use multiple paths through a network. In a single-demand situation, its benefits are easy to see. In a multi-commodity case, when potentially all node-pairs (demands) generate traffic, they compete for the same network resources. In this work, we consider multipath routing in communication networks in a multi-commodity setting from a traffi

Mechanisms of Brain Damage Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Changes in Ion Homeostasis and the Importance of Free Radical Formation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svensk sammanfattning Slaganfall (stroke), hjärtstillestånd eller överdosering av insulin är tillstånd som leder till en minskning av syre- och/eller glukos till hjärnvävnaden. Då tillförseln av glukos och syrgas minskar, kan cellerna inte längre upprätthålla en normal energiproduktion. Eftersom en stor del av energin går åt till bevara den spänning som finns över cellIn this thesis mechanisms of neuronal damage were investigated in an experimental stroke model i.e focal ischemia. The influence of SD-induced calcium transients on neuronal damage were studied in animals with reduced energy supply. The influence of bioenergetic failure on K+e concentration and Ca2+e homeostasis were also investigated in transient focal ischemia. Moreover, the free radical formati

Statistical Physics of Protein Folding and Aggregation

The mechanisms of protein folding and aggregation are investigated by computer simulations of all-atom and reduced models with sequence-based potentials. A quasi local Monte Carlo update is developed in order to efficiently sample proteins in the folded phase. A small helical protein, the B-domain of staphylococcal protein A, is studied using a reduced model. In the thermodynamically favoured topo

Acoustic Analysis of Adult Speaker Age

nformation about the age of the speaker is always present in speech. It is used as perceptual cues to age by human listeners, and can be measured acoustically and used by automatic age estimators. This chapter offers an introduction to the phonetic study of speaker age, with focus on what is known about the acoustic features which vary with age. The age-related acoustic variation in temporal as we
