This paper reviews means for fatigue damage rates estimation using Laplace distributed multiaxial loads. The model is suitable for description of stresses containing transients of random amplitudes and locations. Explicit formulas for computing the expected value of rainflow damage index as a function of excess kurtosis are given for correlated loads. A Laplace model is used to describe variabilit

Basic English Grammar A web linked course Basic English Grammar is not a grammar book per se, with para­graphs and rules, but a course designed specifically for speakers of Swedish who wish to improve their proficiency and confidence in English. Since most Swedish speakers have a great deal of intuitive knowledge about the structure of the English language, the authors have integrated exercises i

A fundamental building block of any Grid infrastructures is the Grid information service and the information model. The information model describes the entities and relationships between entities within the infrastructure along with their semantics. The realization into a concrete data model defines the syntax by which these concepts can be exchanged. This data model enables consumers of informati

The book presents a classification system for Scandinavian flint for use by archaeologists. Flint types are described and evaluated in terms of knappability, limitations posed by nodule size, and prehistoric availability. Flint formation, geographic distribution of flint sources, provenience studies, and patination are discussed in detail.

A major component of aircraft noise is the jet noise created by the high velocity hot stream exhausting from a jet engine, interacting with itself and with the surrounding cold air. In the present paper the flow and acoustic fields that are generated by two coaxial jets are considered. Numerically, the problem is divided into a flow related part (Navier-Stokes system of equation) and an acoustic p

Sockerproduktionen tillhör de sektorer inom EU som erhållit de högsta stöden inom ramen för den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken. Motståndet mot en reform har därför av förklarliga skäl varit stort från främst råvaruproducenterna samtidigt som reformkraven växt sig allt starkare. När nu EU har lyckats få majoritet för ett steg i en reformering av sockerregleringen innebär detta ett väsentligt genombr

This article surveys the history of interpretation of Joseph / Yusuf in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions, focusing on the gender perspective in Jewish sources, typology in the Christian tradition, and the theocentric perspective in Muslim texts.

In this article it is argued that Scripture is embedded in the Markan text to such an extent that it cannot be removed without destroying the story. The role Scripture plays in the Gospel (and New Testament) is certainly neither a matter of antithesis nor of fulfillment, but rather of a shared symbolic universe. Analysing Mk 7.1-23 textually, effectually and contextually, this article draws attent

Activities with the aim to assess the effects of ISA on driver behaviour through experimental research were carried out. In order to investigate the regional differences in effects on driver behaviour when driving with ISA field trials were set up in Hungary and Spain. Complementary results were added from the Belgian ISA field trials. To investigate the effects on driver behaviour from different
