Downtimes in a manufacturing cell, line or individual machines are characterized by a stochastic behavior that their frequency and their duration display. A method is presented here for analyzing this dynamic behavior from a cost perspective. An important element of the method is statistical analysis of downtimes, including empirical distribution functions pertaining to downtimes of specific types

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett högt fiberintag från grönsaker, frukt och sädesslag som havre och korn minskar risken för hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar och typ 2 diabetes. Havre och korn har en hög halt av lösliga kostfiber, så kallade beta-glukaner (beta-glukaner) och studier har visat att beta-glukaner har intressanta hälsoeffekter. Ett dagligt intag av beta-glukaner från havre eller korn kan sänka kSince soluble fibre in the form of the cereal beta-glucans found in oats and barley has been shown to have a positive effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, people at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes might benefit from that a variety of palatable food products containing beta-glucans being available to them. The aim of the papers presented in the thesis was to evaluate the m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ekologin hos lavdagsvärmaren (Dysauxes ancilla) studerades inom den enda svenska populationen vid Beijershamn på Öland. Populationen utgör en isolerad förekomst på nordgränsen av artens utbredningsområde, som huvudsakligen är mellan- och sydosteuropeiskt. Arten är rödlistad som akut hotad. Resultaten visar att lavdagsvärmaren för närvarande endast förekommer inom ett 4 The ecology of the moth Dysauxes ancilla was studied in the only Swedish breeding area at Beijershamn, situated on the Baltic island of Öland. The population is a northern outpost, separated from the species´ continous distribution area in middle- and southeast Europe. There is a general opinion that there has been a reduction of the species distribution during the last decades, but no studies hav

Popular Abstract in Swedish Pyralidfjärilars reproduktionsekologi eller Med mitt mått mätt omåttligt mottlik sex Skadeinsekter Alla har väl någon gång haft besvär med inomhusskadeinsekter. Om inte, känner ni alldeles säkert någon som har haft det. Vem tycker inte att det är obehagligt att hitta larver och spinn i sina flingor på morgonen? När insekterna väl har fått sitt grepp om skafferiet, ärOlfactory cues play an important role in the reproduction of three pyralid moths, the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), the Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and the almond moth (E. cautella). Both males and females of P. interpunctella are capable of multiple matings. More energy is placed into the first mating by the male, as indicated by the larger spermatophore donated by

The aim of this Deliverable 2.2 on Urban Decision-making and Expert Integration is to provide an overview of existing approaches, processes, tools and techniques to urban decision-making, and the usage of expert knowledge as well as data and more and more ‘big data’ to support decisions.

The major part of the Swedish hydro power development took place between 1945 and 1975. At that point of time, significant progress had been made regarding the use of high quality concrete for hydraulic structures. In spite of the progress made, deterioration of concrete due to freezing and thawing is still frequent. Superficial damage at the waterline and spalling of concrete far below the water

Popular Abstract in Swedish För datorbaserade konstruktionsanalyser används traditionella CAE-verktyg såsom finita elementmetoden (FEM) inom strukturanalys, datorbaserad strömningsanalys och stelkroppsdynamik. Behovet av predikteringar i produktutveckling och konstruktion utgår ifrån det faktum att man i början av utvecklingsprocessen har liten eller ingen kunskap om den blivande produktens egenskThe rapid development of computer-based design analysis tools and methods such as the finite element method (FEM) within computational structural mechanics (CSM), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multi-body systems (MBS) during recent decades has fundamentally changed the way in which products are designed and developed. Among the many advantages observed in industrial practice, one can men

In 1736, a volume entitled Polska Kongars Saga och Skald (Saga and Song of Polish Kings) was published at the royal printing house in Stockholm. The rulers of Poland, from the nation’s foundation up to the present day, are here portrayed in 51 individual chapters, each of which contains an engraving of the monarch, an historical sketch in prose, and a concluding comment in verse. Apart from discus

This paper reports on some peculiarities associated with a recently published summation rule for scattering of electromagnetic waves. The summation rule states that the extinction cross section integrated over all frequencies is equal to the low-frequency response of the target. Although the summation rule is intriguing by itself, it becomes even more paradoxical when a static conductivity model o
