Characterization of mechanical properties of machined surface by nanoindentation — Part 1: Simulation of indenter geometry effects

Abstract in UndeterminedThe machined subsurface often undergoes severe deformation and possible microstructure changes in a small scale subsurface layer. Mechanical behavior of this shallow layer is critical for component performance such as fatigue and wear, thus characterization of the mechanical behavior of the machined subsurface in terms of micro/nano hardness, modulus, residual stresses and

Sikhs in Europe : Migration, Identities and Representations

Sikhs in Europe are neglected in the study of religions and migrant groups: previous studies have focused on the history, culture and religious practices of Sikhs in North America and the UK, but few have focused on Sikhs in continental Europe. This book fills this gap, presenting new data and analyses of Sikhs in eleven European countries; examining the broader European presence of Sikhs in new a

Researching Collocations in Another Language - Multiple Interpretations

'Researching Collocations in Another Language' helps us understand more deeply why collocation knowledge and performance are one of the most fascinating (and at times frustrating) challenges that second language users face. This volume brings together 12 studies from Asia, Europe and North America, divided into four sets: (i) using learner corpora to identify patterns of L2 collocation use, (ii) d

Cell activation and nerve regeneration following peripheral nerve injury

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Varje nervskada, oavsett orsak, utgör ett stort problem för den drabbade individen och slutresultatet är i regel dåligt. Personerna som drabbas av nervskador är ofta i arbetsför ålder. Rehabilitering efter en nervskada medför vanligtvis lång sjukskrivning och ibland måste patienten skolas om till ett nytt yrke. Detta innebär stora kostnader för både individen The effect of short time vibration exposure and tourniquet compression on nerve regeneration in rats was studied with special reference to cell activation. One of the hindlimbs was conditioned by either vibration exposure (5 hours / day - 5 consecutive days) or compression (150-300 mmHg for 30-120 minutes), which was followed by a recovery period of 0-7 days. Test crush lesions or a transplantatio

Motivating factors towards willingness to contribute in collaborative tasks: A crisis cooperation perspective

The interaction among various stakeholder organizations in modern crisis response is very similar to negotiation where each organization has its own goal in addition to a common goal. Decision makers in stakeholder organizations most often have to settle for win-win situations to attain higher joint benefit. In such cases willingness to contribute in joint tasks becomes a prerequisite. In our pres
