Our work is based on making a User Interface for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines manufactured by HAAS. The machine uses a programming language called G-Code, which for the ordinary lathe-operator is difficult to learn. This discourages many operators, who have only used manual machines, to convert to CNC. Our task is to make the transition from manual to automatic machines easy. We and o
Denna studie ämnar att förklara vad som låg bakom införandet av ståltullar på den amerikanska marknaden under 2002 samt utvärdera vilka effekter dessa resulterade i. Genom att analysera den amerikanska stålindustrins egenskaper observeras att denna stämmer väl överens med de attribut som är avgörande för storleken av ett tullskydd. Trots att dessa, i flertalet avseende, överensstämde avvek observa

Med hjälp av data från Sveriges 72 funktionella analysregioner har därför utvalda faktorers påverkan på ekonomis
Since the type fossil was found, 153 years ago, the Neanderthal man has fascinated researchers and laymen alike. The Neanderthals lived in Eurasia for maybe 200,000 years but disappeared around the time when modern humans moved into Europe around 35,000 BP. New studes of bones and artifacts, and intriguing results of new DNA-technology, indicate that Homo neanderthalensis was a separate species- b

This paper is about the hoplite army and the men in it who fought for their family and polis. I wanted to write this paper because I think that we get too little information about the ordinary men who fight in wars. We are always told about the great generals and the outcomes of the battles but never about those who have to leave their normal life to maybe get killed. My purpose is to give a broad
This essay approaches the reproductive health of women in the Roman empire – mainly documented by the Greek-Roman medicus Soranos – by comparing them to women in developing countries to-day, as described by WHO-reports.

Hur var det möjligt att på 1610-talet flytta en
