The use of cross-flow ultrafiltration for the recovery of coating material from aqueous streams started about 30 years with electro deposition paint in the automotive industry. This early success can be related to both environmental and economical ad-vantages of using ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration recovers and concentrate electro deposition paint on the retentate side and produces purified wate

The generic relation between continuous polymers and zero-componentEuclidean field-theories is reviewed, and exemplified by polymers withcontact and Coulomb interactions. An analogous relation on thelattice is also discussed, relating the statistics of self-avoidingwalks to a zero-component spin-model.

The stress response is governed by automatic neurological and hormonal processes that occur before we become consciously aware of a dangerous situation. If stress ensues for 15-30 seconds, the hormonal processes may have progressed so far that recovery takes an hour or longer instead of minutes. Stress can affect our behavior and in certain professions, such as the police force and emergency servi

With the increased availability of computational resources, the past decade has seen a rise in the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for medical applications. There has been an increase in the application of CFD to attempt to predict the rupture of intracranial aneurysms, however, while many hemodynamic parameters can be obtained from these computations, to date, no consistent methodology

We study two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in quasi-two-dimensional optical lattices of varying geometry and potential depth. Based on the numerically exact Bloch and Wannier functions obtained using the plane-wave expansion method, we quantify the drag (entrainment coupling) between the condensate components. This drag originates from the (short-range) interspecies interaction and increases w

We describe version 1.0.6 of the public C++ code 2HDMC, which can be used to perform calculations in a general, CP-conserving, two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The program features simple conversion between different parametrizations of the 2HDM potential, a flexible Yukawa sector specification with choices of different Z2-symmetries or more general couplings, a decay library including all two-body

We present a new model, based on color rearrangements, which at the same time can describe both hidden and open charm production in B-meson decays. The model is successfully compared to both inclusive decays, such as B→J/ψX and B→DsX, as well as exclusive ones, such as B→J/ψK(*) and B→D(*)D(*)K. It also gives a good description of the momentum distribution of direct J/ψ's, especially in the low-mo

We investigate the effects of an all order QCD resummation of soft gluon emissions for Higgs boson production in association with two hard jets. We consider both the gluon-gluon fusion and weak boson fusion processes and show how to resum a large part of the leading logarithms in the jet veto scale. Our resummation improves on previous analyses which also aim to include the effects of multiple sof

To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson (H) requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize t spin correlations to analyze the H couplings in the decay t bH + bτ + ν τ . Within the framework of a general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, we obtain results on the spin analyzing coefficients for this decay and study in detail its spin phenomenology, focusing on the limi

The bryopsidalean alga Halimeda gained an important role as carbonate producer in Cenozoic tropical coral reefs and became a significant constituent of the modern Mediterranean seaweed flora. There are, however, open questions at which time the thermophile alga appeared in the cooler Mediterranean Sea and why it is not detected in coral reefs of the modern Persian Gulf. To unravel the biogeography

In this article, we study the fully differential observables of the exclusive production of heavy (charm and bottom) quark pairs in high-energy ultraperipheral pA and AA collisions. In these processes, the nucleus A serves as an efficient source of the photon flux, while the QCD interaction of the produced heavy-quark pair with the target (p or A) proceeds via an exchange of gluons in a color sing

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years of operation (2014 July-2017 July). This is the third data release for SDSS-IV, and the 15th from SDSS (Data Release Fifteen; DR15). New data come from MaNGA - we release 4824 data cubes, as well as the first stellar spec

This thesis investigates the optimization of fenestration design for multi-family apartments, considering the heating demand, daylight autonomy as well as overheating. A literature review was conducted to situate the thesis focus within the broader academic field of façade optimization, and a specific apartment located in the city of Malmö was chosen as the study object. The results presented are
