One important aspect of determining the functionality of proteins is to find the direction of the dipole moment of surrounding water molecules. This is equivalent to finding the position of the hydrogen in water, however with the current atomistic model building tools this is a tedious and time-consuming task. The current main method for finding and building atomic resolution structures of biologi

The purpose of this project is studying heat transfer to indexable cutting tools during milling of a selection of titanium alloys, relevant to the industry. To achieve this goal, both experimental and theoretical models were contemplated to formulate the current thesis. The experimental set-up was designed and executed at Seco Tools AB, supporting the project as industrial collaborator. The therm

Våldtäktsbrottet behanRape crime is in Swedish law regulated in Chapter 6 Section 1 of the Penal Code. The regulation has been through extensive changes during the past decade.
