Thermo-mechanical fatigue crack propagation in Inconel 718 has been studied with different methods. In-situ observations with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were performed, the crack propagation process was followed cycle by cycle and the influences from load, temperature, and microstructure on the crack growth were analyzed. To measure the displacements an image analysis technique was devel

Most embedded control systems have constrained computationalresources. This makes codesign of the control algorithms and thereal-time scheduling an interesting issue. There is also a strongtrend in the real-time community of moving away from the hardreal-time model. Hence, embedded controllers must be designed sothat they are aware of the resource constraints and timinguncertainty of the implement

Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningsprojektet som rapporteras i denna avhandling har två övergripande mål. Det första målet är att utveckla testinstrument avsett för avancerade svenska inlärare av engelska, som genererar reliabla och valida testpoäng kopplat till receptiv kunskap avseende engelska kollokationer som en specifik förmåga. Med kollokationer avses konventionaliserade och frekvent förThe research reported in this thesis has two main aims. The first aim is to develop tests capable of yielding reliable and valid scores of receptive knowledge of English collocations as a single construct, for use with advanced L2 learners of English. Collocations are seen as conventionalized, recurring combinations of words, and the targeted types are adjective + NP and verb + NP. The second aim

Stream ciphers are cryptographic primitives that are used to ensure the privacy of a message that is sent over a digital communication channel. In this thesis we will present new cryptanalytic results for several stream ciphers. The thesis provides a general introduction to cryptology, explains the basic concepts, gives an overview of various cryptographic primitives and discusses a number of di

Boken behandlar de grundläggande delar av reglertekniken som används i processindustrin. Den är skriven på ett sådant sätt att den inte förutsätter några matematikkunskaper utöver grundskolenivå. Boken vänder sig framförallt till praktiskt verksamma operatörer, instrumenttekniker och instrument- och processingenjörer som vill fördjupa sina kunskaper i reglerteknik, men är även lämplig för teoreti

The paper describes a novel extraction procedure for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (PCM 2266). Process parameters for the extraction of LPS from bacterial mass were optimized by carrying out a two-level fractional design experiment. Four parameters, namely temperature, CO, flow rate, pressure and co-solvent composition were analyzed. The best crude extract yiel

This dissertation seeks to describe, analyse and explain the contemporary poverty urban deprivation research and policies. By looking at the post-war planning policy of two specific urban neighbourhoods, the South Bank in London and the Leopold Quarter in Brussels, it seeks to demonstrate and clarify: 1) the growing political impotence of urban strategies, plans, policies and research projects tha

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under en termin vid universitetet i Lausanne skrev jag det som kom att bli en forskarförberedande uppsats i religionsfilosofi om John Hick (f. 1922) och hans religiösa pluralism. Hicks religiösa pluralism handlar om att kristendomen inte kan eller bör betrakta sig som "den enda sanna religionen". Det blev allt klarare för mig under arbetets gång att frågor om religiös pHow to judge religions other than one's own when the means are lacking due to linguistic mobility? In the present thesis this question is mainly analysed in a Christian setting through a reading of the theologians Paul Knitter and Harold Netland. It is, however, claimed that the same question could be asked in other religious settings, also with regard to one's own tradition, and could be treated

The article is a description and evaluation of extensive and intensive field survey as a means of locating sites from the bronze and early iron ages in the cultivated landscape of southern Sweden. It includes a discussion of other field survey efforts and recommendations about survey technique. Surface survey in December proved to be a fairly successful means of locating bronze age remains in clay
