High accuracy and low computational costs are essential properties for efficient finite element codes. Improvements of the finite element method in order to satisfy these qualities have been the subject for extensive research activities ever since its introduction. In this thesis, a class of improved low-order finite elements is proposed which possesses high accuracy in bending even for coarse

The chapter investigates the overlaps between diplomatic and masonic culture in London during the end of the eighteenth century.

This paper presents a review of and a comparison between two different methods to solve an inverse scattering problem in the time domain. The problem is that of propagation of transient electromagnetic waves in spatially inhomogeneous slabs of finite length. The permittivity and conductivity profiles are assumed to vary only with depth and the scattering problem is thus onedimensional. Several alg

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jet impingement och infraröd strålning är metoder för snabb värmeöverföring som kan användas för att snabba upp värmeprocesser i livsmedelsindustrin. Värmningshastigheten påverkar viktiga egenskaper hos livsmedlet, t.ex. brunfärgning. Jet impingement består av riktade strålar av luft med hög hastighet som träffar ytan på livsmedlet och minskar gränsskiktet mellan luftenRapid heat transfer methods such as jet impingement and infrared radiation can be used to speed up thermal processing in the food industry. The heating rate affects important food characteristics, such as colour. Jet impingement consists of directed jets of air with a high velocity that impinge on the food surface, which reduces the velocity boundary layer between the air and surface and gives a f

The present thesis investigates the usage of cultural heritage resources on the web. In recent years cultural heritage objects has been digitalized and made available on the web for the general public to use. The thesis addresses to what extent the digitalized material is used, and how findable it is on the web. On the web resources needs to be findable in order to be visited and used. The study i

The aim of this article is to analyze verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. The focus lies on evaluating interviewees’ description of wartime sexual violence and analyzing discursive patterns that contribute in constructing the phenomenon “sexualized war violence”. My analysis shows that the new social war order normalized the sexualized war viole

Popular Abstract in Swedish Björn Breidegards avhandling handlar om det specifika ingenjörskunnandets plats i rehabiliteringsteknisk forskning, både praktiskt, metodiskt och teoretiskt. För att de berörda människorna själva skall ha en reell möjlighet att resultatstyra behövs det en lyhördhet och att man kan prova sig fram. Detta kräver i sin tur ett top-down-orienterat arbete där varje del i det Based on the results of two rehabilitation engineering design projects, this thesis aims to present and analyze: ? What is required for genuine engineering knowledge and expertise to come into its own in rehabilitation engineering when the entire effort starts and ends with the person for whom it is intended. ? How the work of an engineer not only can improve the conditions for the actual d

This paper addresses the decline in infant mortality that occurred with a remarkable synchronization across Europe around the turn of the century 1900. It is the argument of this paper that this development is not just, as in the conventional view, the side effect of economic growth but could be derived through a cumulative chain of events, starting with the discovery of the germ theory. Mokyr has

Att skriva är en sammansatt förmåga. Det är svårt att i ord formulera vad en skicklig skribents kompetens består i, och därför också svårt att undervisa i skrivande. Ett problem vid bedömning av texter är ofta att både studenter och lärare har svårt att formulera vad som gör en bra text. Här kan metatexter vara ett stöd, för både studenter och lärare. Erfarna lärare har i regel inga problem att b
