This paper examines references of visual product identity in product design. The perception of identity is the result of a composite experience of the presentational and representational dimensions of the product. As consumers to a large degree create their value perceptions of products and brands based on the design of the product, it is important for companies to understand how perceptions of id

The study illustrates how joint production theory can be applied in estimating the profitability of fractionating industrial solid wastes, a given product and the wastes produced in connection with its manufacture being regarded as a production-planning unit. Two case studies showing how the approach described can be applied both to bulk manufacturing and to the manufacture of technically complica

In this work the intermetallic systems formed by transition-metals from group 5 to 9 with Ga, In and Zn have been experimentally and theoretically studied in detail. Syntheses, compositional analyses, X-ray and neutron diffraction (single crystal as well as powder) and measurements of physical properties, e.g. magnetic susceptibility and resistivity has been made for all compounds. Electronic-stru

Popular Abstract in Swedish Så gott som alla djur i naturen utgör ett potentiellt byte för rovdjur. Bokstavligt talat är det därför livsviktigt att försöka undvika att bli upptäckt och fångad av sina naturliga fiender. Då olika arter exponeras för olika typer av rovdjur (predatorer) är det kanske inte så konstigt att det finns en enorm variation av försvarsstrategier i naturen. Mer förvånande är kPredation imposes a potent evolutionary force on prey, moulding the evolution of traits and diversification of species, and can furthermore have powerful ecological consequences. We know that different species vary in how they cope with their natural enemies, and, consequently, a huge range of anti-predator defences are displayed in nature. Yet there is a growing recognition that, if we zoom into

Sedan något år tillbaka utvärderar Högskoleverket svenska högskoleutbildningar med ett nytt utvärderingssystem. Vi är mycket kritiska till systemet framför allt för att det på otillräckligt underlag underkänner även bra utbildningar. En av konsekvenserna är att svensk högre utbildning oförtjänt nedvärderas i europeisk jämförelse. De utbildningar som på allvar antagit utmaningen att förbereda stude

High EGR rates combined with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark ignition Natural Gas engines. With stoichiometric conditions a three way catalyst can be used which means that regulated emissions can be kept at very low levels. Most of the heavy duty NG engines are diesel engines which are converted for SI operation.

The aim of the present doctoral thesis is to study and conceptualize juridification as a phenomenon. This aim comprises analyzing the theories through which juridification as an empirical development is interpreted. In this thesis juridification signifies displacements towards legal discourse. Juridification comes about when an issue that was previously dealt with within a cultural, ethical, polit
