In response to the increased early workflow implied by BIM processes it is important for design consultants to focus on creating and communicating information that is critical for its purpose (Jernigan 2008) - be it model content for 3d Design Coordination at scheme design stage, or Cost Estimation at Design Development stage, or generation of a suitable Record Model for Facilities Management. Tod

Yersinios och shigellos är två bakterieburna och livsmedelsrelaterade sjukdomar som medför betydande kostnader i termer av direkta kostnader (kostnader för vård, medicin, rehabilitering etc.), indirekta kostnader (produktionsbortfall till följd av sjukfrånvaro) och immateriella kostnader (obehag, illamående och dylika immateriella aspekter som kan kopplas till sjukdomen). Det är väsentligt att upp

Utbildning i hållfasthetslära är självklar för den som bygger konstruktioner som ska hålla i åratal. Lika självklart borde det vara med hållfasthetslära för människor som ska hålla i åratal. Att människor saknar kunskap om mänsklig hållfasthet visas tydligt i antalet långtidssjukskrivningar för utmattningssyndrom. Människor som saknar en god självkänsla bygger sitt hus på en instabil grund. När de

The problem of spontaneous cutting tool failure, such as tool chipping and breakage, is becoming more and more important in the manufacturing technology. The sponataneous tool failure is usually associated with the stresses subjected on the tool during a metal cutting process. When the maximum stress acting in a cutting tool exceeds its critical stress, which is usually determined by tool geometry

In this paper, we investigate a special case of new product development (NDP), that of radical innovation. When a company desires to go outside a current saturated market, it is necessary to offer a new product which is radically different from the competition. If successful, the offering will create a new market that the company can expect to dominate a least for a while until the competition str

This book chapter is a short presentation of different understandings of the concept of conversion, research on conversion, and the complexity of using this concept to describe religious mobility today. This applies not least to conversion where religions other than Christianity are involved. Conversion is also discussed in relation to secularisation and individualisation of religion.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Virala infektioner är och har varit ett stort hälsoproblem för mänskligheten. Många av de sjukdomar som förorsakas av virus är obotliga och spridningen är oftast snabb (ett exempel är HIV). Förutom att direkt förorsaka olika sjukdomstillstånd har virus också påvisats vara orsak till olika former av cancer. Under de senaste åren har dock forskare försökt att börja använAll viruses that infect bacteria, plant, or animal cells involve a genome (RNA or DNA) that is encapsidated by a rigid protein shell. After delivery of the viral genome into the host cell, new capsid proteins, which are encoded by viral DNA or RNA, are expressed and self-assembled into new viral capsids. The main objective of my research was to study the key physical factors of genome ejection tha

Fragmentation is a fundamental process, beneath the level of logics. Fragmentation occurs in our most everyday activities. We analyse (literally, to break into fragments), describe, and interpret by performing fragmentations. We propose a linguistic concept of fragmentation, namely a complementaristic whole of "syntactic fragmentation" and "semantic fragmentation", as foundational for Systems and,

The results of detailed measurements of the emissions from simulated fires with TV-sets are presented in this article. Results from both small- and full-scale fire experiments with flame retarded and non-flame retarded TV-sets are discussed. The measurements cover a broad range of chemical species including specific fire retardant agents and both chlorinated- and brominated dibenzodioxins and fura
