Membrane applications in the pulp and paper industry: Experience on lab, pilot and industrial scale

1. IntroductionIn the last two decades the pulp and paper industry has put significant efforts into improving its productivity and reducing its fresh water consumption. Among the different approaches, recycling close to the source has been identified as one of the most effective ways to reduce water consumption and recycle valuable components. The focus of this paper is thus on the different oppor

Measurement of the cross section for isolated-photon plus jet production in pp collisions at s=13 TeV using the ATLAS detector

The dynamics of isolated-photon production in association with a jet in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. Photons are required to have transverse energies above 125 GeV. Jets are identified using the anti-kt algorithm with radius parameter R=0.4 and required to have

The geomagnetic field intensity in New Zealand : Palaeointensities from Holocene lava flows of the Tongariro Volcanic Centre

Very few absolute palaeointensity data exist from Holocene-aged rocks in New Zealand. Here we present a new suite of high-quality palaeointensities, supported by detailed rock magnetic investigations. Samples from 23 sites representing 10 distinct eruptive units of the Tongariro Volcanic Centre, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand, were studied. Both traditional double heating and microwave palaeoint

Genetic structure of the grey side-gilled sea slug (Pleurobranchaea maculata) in coastal waters of New Zealand

Pleurobranchaea maculata is a rarely studied species of the Heterobranchia found throughout the south and western Pacific–and recently recorded in Argentina–whose population genetic structure is unknown. Interest in the species was sparked in New Zealand following a series of dog deaths caused by ingestions of slugs containing high levels of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. Here we describe the geneti

Walk after stroke: initial development of a step counting game for stroke survivors

This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR. Within the framework of the project technologies to empower and support stroke survivors are developed. We report on the iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the initial testing and outline potential future developments.This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR.

Seasonal study of δ18O and δ13C in living (stained) benthic foraminifera from two Swedish fjords

In a previous 16-month seasonal study on living (stained) benthic foraminifera from two fjords on the Swedish west coast, it was reported that foraminifera proliferated in response to phytodetritus input; the strongest response came from the opportunistic species Stainforthia fusiformis. In this study, our objective was to find out if that phytodetritus input resulted in a change in the carbon iso

Gips : Tradition i konstens form: en konstbok från Nationalmuseum

Författarna ger olika infallsvinklar på de gipsavgjutningssamlingar, ofta efter antika skulpturer, som byggdes upp i de nya publika konstmuseerna i Europa under 1800-talet. Dessa hade nära samband med konstakademiernas gipsavgjutningar och kom också att bidra till att universiteten byggde upp egna samlingar.

Glömskans tid och vår tid

Artikeln behandlar gipsavgjutningssamlingar som ställts undan och förfallit på grund av ändrad konstsyn och politiska strömningar samt den renässans som de klassiska avgjutningssamlingarna fått i den postmoderna konsten från 1990-talet.

Flammability limits of Low Btu gases : Computations in a perfectly stirred reactor and experiments

The demand for gas turbines suitable for Low Btu gases is increasing worldwide. This paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation of the flammability limits of Low Btu gases for gas turbine applications. Most modern gas turbines utilize premixed combustion, making it important to know at which fuel-air ratio the flame extinguishes. The flammability limit for a gaseous fuel is a prop

Heavy Ion Results from ATLAS

These proceedings provide an overview of the new results obtained with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, which were presented in the Quark Matter 2017 conference. These results were covered by twelve parallel talks, one flash talk and eleven posters. These proceedings group these results into five areas: initial state, jet quenching, quarkonium production, longitudinal flow dynamics, and collectivity

The concept of moral panic and its use in social psychology

Moral panics are events that occur when societies react to a condition, episode, person or group of persons inside their society, which are seen as threats to the society’s core values or beliefs. The concept of moral panic has been successfully employed in the fields of sociology and criminology for well over 40 years. However, it has remained fairly unknown to social psychologists. In this paper

Hypersensitivity to cardiovascular implants : Stents

Percutaneous coronary interventions and stenting have existed since the 1970s. Stents can be made of different materials and have different designs. A complication to the intervention and especially to bare metal stents is in-stent restenosis with neointimal proliferation and chronic inflammation, which has several causes briefly discussed below. A possible association between stents and metal all

Från ädel antik till gammalt gods

Artikeln behandlar gipsavgjutningens betydelse i de europeiska konstmuseerna, konstakademierna och universiteten under 1800-talet och hur synen på dem förändras radikalt under 1900-talet som en följd av ett normativt skifte från idealism till autenticitetskrav.

Protocol for a scoping review to support development of a CONSORT extension for randomised controlled trials using cohorts and routinely collected health data

Introduction Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted using cohorts and routinely collected health data, including registries, electronic health records and administrative databases, are increasingly used in healthcare intervention research. The development of an extension of the CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement for RCTs using cohorts and routinely collected heal

Is care based on comprehensive geriatric assessment with mobile teams better than usual care? : A study protocol of a randomised controlled trial (The GerMoT study)

INTRODUCTION: Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary diagnostic process used to determine the medical, psychological and functional capabilities of frail older people. The primary aim of our current study is to confirm whether CGA-based outpatient care is superior than usual care in terms of health-related outcomes, resource use and costs.METHODS AND ANAL
