Traditionally, when process identification, monitoring and diagnostics are carried out for power plants and engines, physical modeling such as heat and mass balances, gas path analysis, etc. is utilized to keep track of the process. This type of modeling both requires and provides considerable knowledge of the process. However, if high accuracy of the model is required, this is achieved at the exp

Traditionally, the green narrative has rejected “big science” in favour of small-scale solutions, local knowledge, and the development of “soft” or “intermediate” technologies. In a similar vein, concern for future generations is often used to propose dramatic reductions in energy- and material flows, as well as the adoption of a more frugal lifestyle thought to be “sustainable”. Contrary to this

The book presents results from a research programme on the Öresund region.

Collaboration between academia and industry is believed important for innovation: industry needs academic expertise and know-how and academics need empirical data, test beds and more. So what needs to be improved? A pilot study conducted for BillerudKorsnäs confirms findings in previous research: the main challenge to industry-academia collaboration is the lack of mutual understanding of each oth

Abstract—Two different frequency doubling power amplifiers have been measured, one with differential and one with singleended input, both with single-ended output at 60 GHz. The amplifiers have been implemented in a 1p8M 130-nm CMOS process. The resonant nodes are tuned to 30 GHz or 60 GHz using on-chip transmission lines, which have been simulated in ADS and Momentum. The measured input impedance

Rapporten redovisar en konferens om preventivt arbete för barn till psykiskt sjuka. Vid konferensen presenterades både verksamheter och forskning som visar att preventivt arbete med barn till psykiskt sjuka har stor effekt, både på individ- och samhällsnivå.

Lactobacillus is a heterogeneous bacterial genus comprising at present 91 species. The high species number often makes classification and identification difficult, especially as the taxonomy to a high degree has been based on phenotypical traits. Members of the genus are of commercial importance, involved in a range of industrial products and applied as probiotics, “live microorganisms which when

A analysis of the subgrid scale flame thickness in the LES framework is presented. The influence of the subgrid flame thickness has been tested numerically on a swirl stabilized flame using a flamelet formulation. The analysis introduces a non-dimensional number a, characteristic for flame and the filter. The values of this number are computed for different LES combustion models and lie in a wide

Gas inside packed food is monitored by a technique named GASMAS, GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy. The sharp gas absorption line in contrast to the broadband bulk absorption enables gas detection in situ. (C)2008 Optical Society of America

The authors utilize different methodologies, disciplinary traditions, and analytical perspectives. Yet, they all draw our attention to the complex and contradictory ways in which men and women from or living in the Gulf are selectively incorporated into a world society. The workshop papers were summarized and form the basis of this proceedings document prepared by Ghalia Gargani, Acting Director o
