Gas turbines emissions, NOX in particular, have negative impact on the environment. To limit the emissions gas turbine burners are constantly improved. In this work, a fourth generation SIT (Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery) burner is studied to gain information about the formation of NOX emissions. The gas mixtures for the full burner are limited to natural gas with different nitrogen dilutions.

During ascending evacuation in long stairs, there is reason to believe that factors such as fatigue, and change in human behaviour will influence the possibility of satisfactory evacuation and affect the ascending walking speed. Based on these assumption, a 2-year research project was initiated at Lund University. This paper gives a brief description of the project and highlight some initial findi

Surface force measurements, combined with ellipsometry, were performed on several colloidal liquid systems. We studied the forces between mica surfaces in presence of dilute aqueous solutions of ethylenediamine (divalent) and spermidine (trivalent) hydrochlorides. With increasing the diamine concentration the electrostatic repulsion is reduced and later it disappears completely. At equivalent tri

Reducing poverty and social exclusion is one of the main challenges for ensuring social cohesion in Europe. The research project COPE – Combating Poverty in Europe: Re-organising Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel Governance’ – analyses trends in poverty and social exclusion in Europe, and examines the dynamics of minimum income protection policies that poten

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mylonitzonen (MZ) är en kraftigt framträdande rörelsezon i den sydvästra Baltiska urbergskölden (sydvästra Skandinavien) som löper från Varberg i söder till trakterna av Eidsvol (Norge) i norr. Den sammanfogar urbergsblock av olika ålder och ursprung vilka även har skilda geologiska utvecklingshistorier. Öster om zonen, i det s.k. Östra Segmentet (ÖS; delar av Halland, The Mylonite zone (MZ) is a prominent late-Sveconorwegian lithological terrane boundary in the SW Baltic Shield along which large-scale crustal block movements took place during the Sveconorwegian orogeny. The southern section of the MZ also defines a conspicuous metamorphic break separating upper amphibolite and high-pressure granulite facies rocks in the parautochthonous Eastern Segment (ES), fr

The process of globalization encompasses economic and financial integration. The abolition of capital controls and the dismantling of barriers of different kinds will expose previously sheltered companies to shocks on the global economic arena. Policy-makers in already globalized countries have learned that market participants should be prepared in due time to meet the new exposure to fluctuating

1. Som en reaktion mot herrnhutismens ”blandade” lära definierades den rätta läran av Schartau och än mer av hans efterföljare ofta mycket snävt. Den så kallade bokstriden som bröt ut när andra bandet av Schartaus brev 1830 publicerats, avgränsade negativt schartaulärjungarna genom att de undvek de flesta uppbyggelse- och andaktsböcker. Schartau drev på den konfessionalisering som från omkring 182

The concept of "culture" is often used improperly in the literature and training on business ethics and compliance. A more sophisticated view of 'culture of compliance' is required. Published in a magazine for ethics and compliance professionals

Popular Abstract in Swedish Man har länge känt till att högt blodtryck {hypertoni}, bukfetma och sockersjuka {ålders diabetes} existerar samtidigt hos en och samma individ. Under de senaste decennierna har forskare försökt att hitta en gemensam mekanism till dessa tillstånd. Framför allt de senaste åren har man riktat uppmärksamheten mot det fett- och sockerreglerande hormonet insulin som tycks vaHypertensive individuals, even non-obese, have been shown to be resistant to the insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues {mainly skeletal muscle}. The aim of this study was to investigate hypothetical pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of hypertension with regard to insulin sensitivity in normotensive men with a family history of hypertension (RELs) as compared to men

Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka hur plats, natur och hälsa lyfts fram i marknadsföringen av rituellt helande i det senmoderna Sverige. Att ”vara naturlig” har blivit ett framgångsrikt koncept inom nyskapade riter, vilka idag kan säljas och köpas som vilka varor som helst på marknaden.

Achieving upcoming emissions legislation (Euro VI) for heavy trucks is a serious challenge for the manufacturers. Apart from the increasingly strict limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate emissions (PM), the limited amount of fossil fuels as well as alarming climate changes simultaneously drives the demand for low CO2 emissions. A likely solution to meet upcoming NOx limits is to use a co
