Work place design based on traditional ergonomic science has, to a large extent, been delimited by information collected from studies of individual human beings. This research approach has not been proven to influence industry shop floor work to an extent corresponding to what could be expected from research efforts (Winkel and Westgaard, 1995). Thus the practitioners are left to decide about the

This thesis deals with the properties of wheat storage proteins at interfaces. These proteins are the main constituents of gluten and are recognised for their importance in breadmaking. The components studied were gliadin fractions (a-gliadins, b-gliadins, g-gliadins and w-gliadins), the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit 1Dx5, and a 58 kDa peptide derived from the central repetitive domain of

The before/after study of physiological and biochemical parameters was used to delineate the effects of VDT data entry work on operators. Twenty-nine healthy Chinese students were chosen and divided at random into the simple and the complicated data entry group. The subjects were instructed to work as quickly and correctly as possible according to the 'Data Entry Work Programme’ for 150min. Work p

In this presentation will be given an up-date of the status of epitaxially grown III-V nanowires, from the perspective of growth, processing, physics and applications in the areas of nanoelectronics and nanophotonics

The implementation of anti-windup methods in mid-rangingcontrol needs further attention. It is demonstrated how use of standard anti-windup schemes may give unnecessary performance degradation during saturation. The problem isillustrated for two separate systems, control of oxygen concentration in a bio-reactor and temperature controlof a cooling system. In the paper, guidelines are derived for ho

We study whether it is possible to regain information about a vector field from projections, in the same way as is possible for scalar functions with Radon transform. It turns out that the curl and divergence of the field can be reconstructed separately from two different transforms, and algorithms are devised using a variant of the filtered back projection algorithm for reconstruction

The theme of this dissertation is the way in which the process of becoming a father is experienced, constituted, and constructed in Sweden in the 1990's. From the perspective of cultural analysis, I seek to discuss what men who become fathers today see as important in the constitution of themselves as parents and what is important in the eyes of other people; what occasions and actiona are signifi

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) offer a large number of new potential applications. One of the envisioned applications is of course Internet access, which can be provided with the help of some roadside basestations. Many of the applications benefit from multi-hop relaying of information, thus requiring a routing protocol. Characteristics unique to VANETs (such as high mobility and the need for

Approximate expressions of the first moment of the order statistics of standard extreme value distributions are proposed. We compare different previously given approximations with the exact values. The results show that the approximation given here fits the exact values better than previously given models.

Artikeln analyserar Strindbergs drama "Påsk" från rättsteologiska perspektiv: lagens teologiska bruk, lagens politiska bruk, nådens "politiska" bruk. Det mångtydiga och sammansatta betonas och relateras till Strindbergs användning av lutherskt ortodoxa, rosenianska resp. swedenborgska tankar.
