In this contribution a constitutive model for glassy polymers is developed. To incorporate the distribution of the polymer chains, a homogenization procedure involving a chain orientation distribution function is employed. During loading the polymer chains orient in a certain manner, leading to an evolution of the macroscopic anisotropic properties. This phenomenon is modeled by use of evolution e

The need for new renewable products has enhanced the interest in cellulose and hemicellulose as raw material. The wood plant cell wall is a complex mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and minor amounts of pectin, proteins and extractives. Several interactions between the compounds make them difficult to separate without modification. O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan (O-acetyl-GGM), the major he

Brief description of the iconographic program of the twelfth-century baptismal font in the church of Dalby.

In many organizations it is considered of vital importance to translate its vision and strategy into objectives, to determine the best means of achieving these and to review the results – with participation from all members, from management to shop floor. The objective of this study was to make a first test of a method that could be applied for verbalizing and communicating a common vision and ide

The book is an empirical ivestigation and analysis of the health situation for workers with irregular working hours in services. The anaysis is made from a different perspectives with cross-depratmenta co-operatin between researchers from 5 disciplines

A smartphone is a personal device and as such usually hosts multiple public user identities such as a phone number, email address, and Facebook account. As each smartphone has a unique Bluetooth MAC address, Bluetooth discovery can be used in combination with the user registration to a server with a Facebook account. This makes it possible to identify a nearby smartphone related to a given Faceboo

Data volumes in communication networks increase rapidly. Further, usage of social network applications is very wide spread among users, and among these applications, Facebook is the most popular. In this paper, we analyse user demands patterns and content popularity of Facebook generated traffic. The data comes from residential users in two metropolitan access networks in Sweden, and we analyse mo

This thesis is focused on the early steps of a complex virus-cell interaction. The human adenovirus type 2 (HAdV-2) infects permissive cells, by first recognizing a protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily that serves as the Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). This attachment step is mediated by the adenovirus fiber protein. Subsequently, in order to proceed to a tighter binding, the viral p

This study highlights the medical object as an approach to study illness narratives. The medical objects is discussed as a way in broadening the study of medicine and includes other dimensions than those related to the pharmacological treatment. The aim of the article is to use narratives about asthma to analyse the culture around body, illness and health in the mid-1900s. The study focuses on the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Makrofager återfinns i stort sett överallt i kroppen. De bildas från stamceller i benmärgen och cirkulerar i blodomloppet tillsammans med andra vita blodkroppar i form av monocyter, som kan vandra igenom blodkärlens väggar och vidareutvecklas till makrofager ute i vävnaderna. Makrofagen spelar en viktig roll i kroppens totalförsvar genom att vägleda och orkestrera immunMacrophages mediate innate immunity through release of cytokines, eicosanoids, reactive oxygen species as well as through phagocytosis and secretion of lysosomal enzymes. Regulation of lysosomal secretion in macrophages differs in several respects from release of specialized granules in other leukocytes. Lysosomal secretion is not dependent upon cytosolic calcium but is instead triggered by lysoso

This paper articulates drone warfare through a critical analysis of an actual drone operation and a study into its developing technologies. The first chapter moves through a discussion of the intervening role of the camera as described by Walter Benjamin and societal perspective of visual reproduction technology. This discussion then departs from the mechanical to the digital realm of realtime vid
