This work concerns an experimental study of pressure drop and heat transfer for turbulent flow inside a U-duct with relevance for tip cooling of gas turbine blades. The U-duct models the internal blade cooling flow passages. Both friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficients were measured along the bend (turn) part of the U-duct for three different rib configuration cases, namely (a)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteinkinas C i nervcellsutveckling Under fosterutvecklingen ska en enda cell, den befruktade äggcellen, ge upphov till alla de högt specialiserade celler som människokroppen består av. Den process där omogna celler utvecklas till t.ex. nervceller, blodceller och muskelceller kallas differentiering. Det som avgör vad en speciell cell ska utvecklas till är bl.a. vilka sThe human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y can be induced to differentiate into a neuronal sympathetic phenotype after treatment with 16 nM 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) in serum, or by a combination of the growth factors basic fibroblast growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-I (bFGF/IGF-I). SH-SY5Y cells stably transfected with TrkA, the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, dif

Numerical simulations are performed for multiphase jets in crossflow. The flow solver uses an Eulerian/Lagrangian approach. Turbulence in the gas phase is modeled in the framework of large eddy simulation. The dispersed phase is handled using Lagrangian particle tracking. The model assumptions of solvers for Lagrangian particle tracking are critically assessed for typical flow conditions of spray

Popular Abstract in Swedish I över 200 år har en rad historiker, språkmän, folklorister och arkeologer försökt att återskapa en svunnen kultur. Med hjälp av antika texter, medeltida uppteckningar, filologiska observationer och arkeologiska lämningar har de beskrivit en värld, en religion och ett folk äldre än sumererna, med vilka all historia annars sägs ha börjat. De som upprätthöll denna svunna By using ancient texts, medieval documents, philological observations, and archaeological artifacts, scholars have reconstructed a prehistorical world and religion. The people who upheld this culture have been named, inter alia, "Indo-Europeans", "Aryans", "Japhetites" and "Wiros". Yet, these people have not left any texts, no artifacts can with certainty be ascribed to them, nor do we know any in

What do we gain from labeling certain norms of social organization law? This question provides the backdrop against which this chapter will examine the works of Leon Petrażycki and Eugen Ehrlich, two of the founders of legal sociology who devised concepts of law broader than state law. In the course of this examination we shall also assess the relevance of Petrażycki’s 'intuitive law' and Ehrlich’

Popular Abstract in Swedish Första delen: Kontextualisering av trinitariska personbegrepp Kapitel ett: Inledning Avhandling analyserar och diskuterar konstruktionen av ett relationellt personbegrepp i nutida trinitarisk teologi. Det större sammanhanget för avhandlingens tema är den nutida filosofins och teologins fokusering på relationaliteten och ’den andre’. Detta sammanhang kännetecknas av en This thesis analyses and discusses the construction of a relational concept of personhood in contemporary Trinitarian theology. The thesis discusses both a Trinitarian and an anthropological concept of personhood. The investigation is carried out on three levels. The first part is a historical and contemporary contextualisation of the construction of a relational concept of personhood. The broader

A very large majority of the current product development process models put forward in textbooks present a homogenous structure, what Ulrich & Eppinger [1] call the market-pull model, presented as a generic one, while other possible product development process models are merely seen as variants. This paper focuses on the task clarification and derived activities (mainly the systematic search f

The Working Group III Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) presents an assessment of the literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of the contribution of six renewable energy (RE) sources to the mitigation of climate change. It is intended to provide policy relevant information to governments, intergovernment
