This paper presents the initial findings of a new research projec

A level set formulation is proposed that can accurately trace the evolution of grain boundary networks in a polycrystalline aggregate while respecting grain boundary energy anisotropy. Commonly adopted simplifying assumptions related to the grain boundary energy variation with local microstructure conditions are avoided and the grain boundary energy dependence on both crystallographic misorientati

Detta är den sjunde publikationen i en serie småskrifter som alla handlar om vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet. Denna gång ligger fokus på socialtjänsten. I de tidigare skrifterna i denna serie har det framkommit hur viktigt be- greppet vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet är för en rad verksamhetsområden, till exempel medicin, skola och poli- tik.

De senaste åren har medskapande och e-lärande inom högre utbildning uppmärksammats i den pedagogiska diskursen. Forskning visar att studenters möjlighet att själv påverka undervisningens form och innehåll kan leda till ökat engagemang och bättre djupinlärning. Medskapande kan vara ett sätt att nå dit.I detta paper presenteras ett skandinaviskt utvecklingsprojekt med målsättning att stötta studente
