Nondestructive testing of composite materials is important in aerospace applications, and mm-wave imaging has been increasingly used for this purpose. Imaging is traditionally performed using Fourier methods, with inverse methods being an alternative. This communication presents a mm-wave imaging method with an inverse approach intended for nondestructive testing of singly curved composite panels

This paper evaluates an electric generator manufactured of cobalt-iron laminations used for a wave energy application. The properties of the two cobalt-iron designs are compared with a reference machine, which employs conventional electric steel laminations. Operation trajectories and machine losses, as well as the annual energy production and the losses are obtained through finite element analysi

Repurposing former industrial sites to creative uses (so-called 'creative reuse') contributes to both cultural heritage and environmental sustainability, as it maintains the existing building stock. Creative reuse may also have positive impacts on the site surroundings. This study explores the prerequisites, functioning, and consequences of creative reuse in a small post-industrial town in Sweden.

Folkparkerna förstås idag ofta som baser för arbetarrörelsens kulturella projekt. Men allra tydligast under parkrörelsens första tre decennier hade de även en fundamental politiska roll. I denna presentation fokuserar vi på denna roll i ljuset av storstrejken 1909, där parkerna spelade en viktig roll för arbetarrörelsen som tydliga politiska platser på offentlighetens kant. När många andra platser

This thesis presents the temperature dependence of InGaAs Nanowire (NW) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) grown at two different temperatures. The two different growths represent one sample having nanowires which have a mixed crystal structure (showing stacking faults) and one sample with nanowires of pure crystal structure (without stacking faults). The sample with a pu

Chemotherapy resistance and relapses are common in high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). Here, we developed a clinically relevant in vivo treatment protocol mimicking the first-line five-chemotherapy treatment regimen of high-risk NB and applied this protocol to mice with MYCN-amplified NB patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Genomic and transcriptomic analyses were used to reveal NB chemoresistance mechan

Retrospective studies suggest increased postoperative morbidity among alcohol misusers. We have prospectively studied the risk associated with alcohol intake among patients undergoing surgery. We investigated 15 persons who required colorectal surgery and who were drinking at least five Danish drinks per day. These patients were matched for sex, nutrition, age, weight, cardio-pulmonary disease, di

Alcohol abusers have suppressed cellular immune function. The aim of the study was to investigate the time of sobriety required to normalize immune function. Delayed hypersensitivity was investigated during disulfiram controlled abstinence in ten heavy alcoholics and in seven moderate drinkers without liver diseases. For comparison a control group of eight previous drinkers was tested. The skin te

Morbidity after transurethral resection of the prostate gland was retrospectively investigated by comparing 73 alcoholics with 73 controls (daily alcohol consumption ≥60 g vs.

The heart rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly dependent on the conduction properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node. These properties can be affected using β-blockers or calcium channel blockers, mainly chosen empirically. Characterization of individual AV-nodal conduction could assist in personalized treatment selection during AF. Individual AV nodal refractory periods and conductio

Retaining glycoside hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse the breakdown down of glycans through hydrolysis. Due to the double-replacement mechanism of the retaining glycoside hydrolases (GHs), which form an intermediate with part of the glycan covalently attached to the enzyme, some GHs are able to catalyse synthesis reactions called transglycosylation. In transglycosylation reactions a hydroxyl-co

Internet of Things (IoT) firmware upgrade has turned out to be a challenging task with respect to security. While Over-The-Air (OTA) software upgrade possibility is an essential feature to achieve security, it is also most sensitive to attacks and lots of different firmware upgrade attacks have been presented in the literature. Several security solutions exist to tackle these problems. We observe

What kind of insights can anthropology offer to the study of IOs? This essay illustrates this via an inductive theorization on the effectiveness of organizational aesthetics.

Under de tre senaste decennierna har antalet yrkesverksamma socionomer (i åldern upp till 64 år) nästan fördubblats, från drygt 20 000 till 40 000 personer. Denna fördubbling i sig (20 000 socionomer) överträffar samtliga verksamma psykologer (10 000). Denna expansion framträder tydligt även relativt; från 2,45 socionomer per tusen invånare år 1990 till 3,92 år 2019. Gjorda bedömningar pekar på at

Thrombin derived from bovine sources commonly is used to arrest bleeding during surgical procedures. However, complications such as postoperative hemorrhage can occur because of the development of cross-reactive anti-bovine antibodies that inhibit human coagulation factor V. It would thus be advantageous to develop techniques to generate human thrombin. This study evaluated thrombin produced from

När vi söker kunskap rör vi oss längs horisonter av icke-vetande. I en sådan bildningsresa slår vi i det här kapitlet följe med filosofen Jonna Bornemark. Den sociala barnavården är ett fält där alltmer kunskap bildas. Men hur går det till? Den här texten handlar om kunskapssökande inom socialt arbete, närmare bestämt familjehemsvård. Att söka kunskap är att göra en mängd val och överväganden. Med
