Within the newly decided scheme for CE-marking of cables1 a full-scale fire test for cables (prEN503992) has been introduced. The new test measures heat and smoke production rates and flame spread and in some cases requires large amounts of cables. In the project presented here a modelling tool was developed to predict full-scale results using data from the small-scale fire test Cone Calorimeter.

Denna rapport redovisar fortsättningen på projektet "Utbytbara installationer" som startade med en litteraturstudie och ett program redovisade i "Utbytbara installationer: program - TVPB-94/3044)

Protein-surfactant interactions in water are investigated by following the phase equilibria for protein-surfactant pairs whose constituents carry both opposite and the same sign of charge. The concentration ranges studied are: 0-20 wt% protein, 0-20 wt% surfactant, and 80-100 wt% water. The oppositely charged lysozyme-sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS)-water system forms three main regions: a precipitat

This thesis presents a number of results and algorithms for the numerical solution of problems in geometric computer vision. In geometric computer vision one tries to extract geometric information about the world and the observer from a sequence of images. Estimation of scene structure and camera motion using only image data has been one of the central themes of research in photogrammetry, geodesy

THIS STUDY IS CONCERNED with burnout and long-term sick leave, although instead of looking for several explanatory models and trying to answer the question as to why people are affected by this syndrome, the study is instead based on the idea of illness as experience. The methodology is traditionally ethnological, but with a phenomenological slant. The author makes use of an empirical material c

The pervasive use and insatiable demand for high-performance wireless devices globally are driving the development of new communication technologies and standards. In this chapter, we present advancements in the area of terminal antenna systems and describe how they play a major role in enabling strict performance requirements to be met in future systems. As opposed to conventional systems that do

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras resultaten från studier av EGF-moduler från blodkoagulationsproteiner. Dessa studier har utförts med högupplösande kärnmagnetisk resonansspektroskopi. Resultaten av studierna återges i denna populärvetenskapliga sammanfattning. Som bakgrund ges inledningsvis en introduktion till den grundläggande biologin och den teknik som använts i studiernaModules are independently folding protein domains defined on the gene level. The epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) modules are involved in protein-protein interactions and are found in numerous membrane proteins and extracellular proteins, including many proteins of the blood coagulation system. A subset of the EGF modules binds one Ca2+ with an affinity that is often influenced by the neighbouri

In the light of technological changes, changes in business contexts, decreased number of IS students, changes in educational systems, etc., IS education commentators have urged the IS community to develop new and alternative IS curricula. In response to this, we present a model curriculum for a Bachelor of Science program in business information systems design (BISD 2007). The curriculum has a str
