A stochastic model based on a probability density function (PDF) approach was developed for the investigation of spark ignition (SI) engine knock conditions. The model is based on a two zone model, where the burned and unburned gases are described as stochastic reactors, and the movement of the turbulent flame front is expressed with a Wiebe function. Using a stochastic particle ensemble to repres

I Den [o] hållbara förpackningen analyseras svenska konsumentförpackningar från 1930-talet fram till idag. Boken består av tre delar där läsaren först får lära känna mjölkförpackningarna, som är livsmedelsbranschens kanske vanligaste men samtidigt mest krävande förpackning. Därefter behandlas läkemedelsförpackningarna, en kategori som alltid har kännetecknats av ett högt säkerhetstänkande. Slutlig

Vård och behandling av personer med långvarig smärta är en utmaning. Vården kan inte bara rikta sig mot smärtan i sig utan måste omfatta hela den komplexitet som uppstår när flera olika faktorer interagerar med såväl smärtan som varandra på olika sätt. Detta kräver god kunskap bland vårdpersonal och då inte bara om hur smärta kan lindras utan även om hur livet förändras vid långvarig smärta. Inne

Abstract in Uncoded languagesEasy access to hydro-climatic data is a necessary precondition for the progress and success of any water resources research project. Without (easy) access to these data, realistic and reliable assessment of a catchment under study is impossible. The aim of this note is not to discuss the importance of the collection of hydro-climatic data but to emphasise the worthines

Today’s debate about the EC and its future can be grouped along two main lines. On the one side are those who hold that the EC is a grouping of sovereign states for the purposes of international cooperation. On the other side are those who maintain that the EC is a new political society that unites the citizens of Europe in a new political and legal community where the question of the sovereignty

Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are known to produce large amounts of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). It has recently become clear that the ATP-release is part of a mechanism controlling the dilation of the body’s blood vessels. The study of the erythrocyte’s behaviour is complicated by the fact that they respond easily to any physical contact. In this paper we propose a new method for studying the d

Three scenarios for globalisation. A view from cultural semiotics Göran Sonesson Using the concept of the auto-model, this text describes global society as a device people use to understand their relation to other cultures. Three scenarios are analysed in terms of a model each : first, we consider the hypertrophy of the Internal Other, which results from the displacements of sizeable populations

This thesis explores the scope and limits of Article 4(h) of the AU Act in order to generate new thinking on, and contribute a fresh legal approach to, the implementation of the AU’s right to intervene under Article 4(h). While Article 4(h) intervention can be construed as enforcement by consent, it is not clear whether the UN Charter provides for enforcement action by consent to be outside the pu
