Modelling and Experimental Investigations on Thermal Radiation in Combustion Environments

Popular Abstract in Swedish Värmestrålning är högst relevant i förbränningsmiljöer. I dessa miljöer är förbränningsgaser och partiklar den huvudsakliga källan till värmestrålning. Förbränningsmiljön är komplex att beskriva. Analys av turbulenta flöden, kemiska reaktioner och transport av energi måste göras för att fullständigt beskriva miljön. Att kunna beskriva dessa fenomen är en viktig del i föThermal radiation is an important physical phenomenon in combustion environments. For the understanding of existing- and the design of new combustion environments computational modelling is a useful tool as it can describe the different transport phenomena. This thesis has focused on studying thermal radiative property models of the participating media, gases and particles. Two specific combustion

A Case Study on Benefits and Side-Effects of Agile Practices in Large-Scale Requirements Engineering

In the software industry, there is a strong shift from traditional phase-based development towards agile methods and practices. This paper reports on a case study aimed at investigating if, and how, agile Requirements Engineering (RE) can remedy the challenges of traditional RE, and what new challenges agile RE may pose. The results from an initial case study with 9 practitioners from a large soft

Soot sensors for efficient combustion and low emissions - SootSensII

Nanosized soot particles are a serious health hazard in urban air. Upon inhalation they can penetrate deep into the lungs and their fat solubility makes possible their accumulation in other organs such as the brain. For this reason legislation has continuously reduced the allowable emission levels and raised requirements for reporting the status of the exhaust system (OBD, on board diagnostics) in

The Role of F0 and Duration in Perception of Female and Male Speaker Age

Single word stimuli from twelve female and twelve male natural speakers of various ages and from two synthetic voices were acoustically analyzed for duration and F0. Listening experiments were carried out to test if spectral features or F0 and duration provide the more dominant age cues and to test if listeners are equally good at estimating the age of female and male speakers. Results of the list

The interaction between epistemicity and social rank on an online bulletin board

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the close interaction between epistemic and evidential stance verbs on the one hand and social hierarchy and power on the other. It is hypothesized that there is a correlation between the degree and intensity of stance verbs and the social context in which they are generated. The data for the study comes from an online bulletin board, in which members ar

European Union Council Presidencies. A comparative approach

This book describes, analyses, explains and compares the role performance of different presidencies. The expert and international authors ask why member states have different approaches and play the role differently, prioritising different functions and using a variety of strategies to realise their aspirations. The book consists of three parts i) describes the functions of the presidency, ii) com

Vortex localization in rotating clouds of bosons and fermions

Finite quantal systems at high angular momenta may exhibit vortex formation and localization. These phenomena occur independent of the statistics of the repulsively interacting particles, which may be of bosonic or fermionic nature. We analyze the relation between vortex localization and formation of stable Wigner molecules at high angular momenta in the view of particle-hole duality. Trial wave f

Brandskyddsvärdering av vårdavdelningar - Ett riskanalysverktyg

I projektet har ett verktyg eller metod för bestämning av risk i vårdavdelningar tagits fram. Verktyget, Brandskyddsvärdering av vårdavdelningar (BSV-vård) kan användas för att bestämma den relativa säkerheten för olika avdelningar vad avser brand. Meningen är att BSV-vård skall kunna användas som ett komplement vid brandsyn. Verktyget kan också tjäna som checklista vid nyproduktion då den också g

It's in The Mix: Configuring Industrial Cool

In recent decades, a transformation of traditional industries has taken place in large parts of the Western world, involving a number of interesting combination processes. One manifestation of Industrial Cool may be referred to as 'recycled factories', whereby different types of cultural institutions have established themselves in industrial premises and touched up the aesthetics of a former indus

Att acceptera det oacceptabla

DU MÅSTE LÄRA DIG att leva med värken, smärtan och tröttheten, är besked som många patienter får i sjukvården. Sällan får de reda på hur det ska gå till. I samband med beskedet upplever många att livet tar slut. Men egentligen är det början på en resa som kan sluta i att livet blir mycket bättre än tidigare. Resan börjar med att man accepterar den situation man har hamnat i. Att acceptera är inte
