A dryer fabric is used in the multi-cylinder dryer in order to improve the runnability of the web and to establish proper contact between the web and the hot cylinder, thus improving the heat transport. The dryer fabric separates the hot and moist paper from the ambient drying air and significantly influences the mass and heat transport. The fabric mass transfer resistance was determined experime

Patients with anxiety disorders automatically attend to threat-related stimuli. This is seen not only in an attentional bias for consciously available stimuli, but also in effects of subliminally exposed (i.e., masked) stimuli. The effects of treatment on cognitive biases have been examined in a variety of anxiety disorders, and the results commonly indicate that attentional biases disappear as a

The presence of grain boundaries in the microstructure of metallic materials causes heterogeneous distributions of dislocation density. In the present contribution, the evolution of dislocation density is viewed as a reaction-diffusion system, involving mobile and immobile dislocations. Gradient effects are introduced by making the immobilization of dislocations sensitive to presence of grain boun

The development of real-time expert systems from purely rule-based systems to general programming environments for real-time applications is described. The possibilities of using these systems for control system prototyping is discussed. Several examples are presented

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostanoider, en samlingsbeteckning för prostaglandiner och tromboxaner, tillverkas av de flesta av kroppens olika celltyper och fungerar som en slags hormoner i många olika organsystem i människor och djur. Prostanoiderna bildas alla från prostaglandin H2 som i sin tur tillverkas av enzymet cyklooxygenas (COX) från fettsyran arachidonsyra. Prostanoiderna är alltså fettProstanoids are ubiquitously distributed lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid, that exhibit numerous and diverse biological effects in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The cell surface receptors for the prostanoids belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. In this thesis, the author describes the cloning and structural characterization of

During the last three years Biofuel-Solution, a privately held Swedish entity, has developed an IP-portfolio around gas-phase glycerol conversion into medium-value chemicals. The targeted chemicals have large to very large markets, to allow for use by more than a fraction of the glycerol available today without impacting the cost of the product. The reason behind is that glycerol is a by-product f
