Self-tuning control of the dissolved oxygen concentration has been tested in full scale at the Käppala Sewage Works at Lidingö, Sweden. The controller has been shown to be robust during varying operating conditions. It also gives the potential for the estimation of interesting variables, such as the oxygen uptake rate. A number of water quality variables have been examined. Interesting couplings b

Det är ett självklart mål att myndighetsbeslut och domstolsavgöranden i skattefrågor ska vara objektiva. Det är inte möjligt att mäta graden av faktisk objektivitet. Istället hävdas i artikeln att myndigheters och domstolars organisation kan bidra till stärkande av rättssäkerhet när det gäller skattebeslut och skatteprocesser.

The current Status of 94 liehen species, of which 83 are extracted from the Swedish Red Data list, has been investigated in Skåne, the southernmost province of Sweden. The results, including over 1000 field records, indicate a retreat connected with environmental problems, especially air pollution. 41 species have disappeared, 16 species are considered endangered, 11 species are considered vulnera

A new system to categorize the content of group diaries is developed and tried out in 12 PBL groups.

Also, while formal deliberation is important, even the free-flowing, messy and unpredictable converations of everyday life can give rise to the

The present paper is discussing some results of the bigger experiment that was conducted in order to study the effect of different sweat rates (3, 5 and 10 g/h) on footwear insulation. During the study series some tests with 8-hour sweating were carried out. A thermal foot model was used for testing. The model is divided into 8 zones and had 5 “sweat glands”. A thin sock was donned on foot model f
