Packaging is a fundamental element in logistics systems. It not only affects every logistical activity; it also has a significant impact on logistics costs and performance. In order for packaging and logistics professionals to gain insight into packaging-dependent costs and performance, the interactions between packaging systems and logistics systems must be understood. The presented research prov

During the last ten years or so, much effort has been spent on developing software architecture by analogy with hardware architecture from where the idea seems to originate. Much of the work has been devoted to specifying standard program units, called components, and their connections. The architecture is then the specific organization of these components and connections. In this paper, I suggest

Gas turbine maintenance is crucial due to high cost for the replacement of its components and associated loss of power during shutdown period. Conventional scheduled maintenance, based on equivalent operating hours, is not the best alternative as it can require unnecessary shut downs. Condition based maintenance is an attractive alternative as it decreases unnecessary shut downs and has other adva

Some preliminary observations on the rise and development of technical terminologies in Greek and Latin, and their successive influence on the modern European languages and their patterns of word formation

Multi-particle production in the central and forward (proton) rapidity region is studied in photoproduction and deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The measurements in the forward region are a factor of similar to 2 larger than QCD predictions based on the DGLAP evolution equations. The central rapidity region is rather well described. Searches for instanton induced processes in DIS are presented.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Malign hypertermi, ärftligt och farligt vid narkos – hur diagnostiseras det ? I april 1960 sövdes en yngling i Australien. Han var mycket orolig därför att tio släktingar dött av eter-narkos. Han sövdes i stället med ett nytt medel – halotan, det höll på att kosta även honom livet. En kortfattad fallbeskrivning i Lancet fick stor uppmärksamhet och på andra ställen i väMalignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a rare inherited muscular disorder, which may cause a lethal increase in metabolism during anaesthesia with certain commonly used anaesthetic. Susceptible individuals are without any signs or symptoms. It is important to identify individuals at risk, since the MH reaction is preventable. Susceptibility to MH is diagnosed with an in vitro contracture te

Summary form only given. Resonant tunneling based devices are an intriguing set of devices with promising high speed, low power and high functionality capabilities. We have developed an technology to embed metallic features on the nm-scale inside a semiconductor. By combining such metallic features and heterostructures we have developed a new type of tunneling transistor, the so called Resonant Tu

We investigate the performance of concatenated coding schemes based on Faster Than Nyquist(FTN) signaling over the AWGN channel. We test both serial and parallel concatenations. In serial concatenation the FTN signaling is considered as the inner encoder and the outer code is a rate b/c convolutional code. In parallel schemes we use two parallel Gaussian channels and transmit FTN pulse trains in b

This paper seeks to provide an overview of how companies assess and manage security risks in practice. For this purpose we referred to data of security surveys to examine the scope of risk analysis and to identify involved entities in this process. Our analysis shows a continuous focus on data system security rather than on real world organizational context as well as a prevalent involvement of to
