This chapter deals with the rheology of dietary fiber (DF) suspensions and how their microstructural properties influence them. The DFs obtained from selected vegetables, namely, tomato, apple, carrot, potato, parsnip, and yacon are reported. The amount and composition of the soluble/insoluble fiber have been measured for each type of fiber. For the insoluble part, the microstructural properties s
Ett tvådimensionellt transportförsök utfördes i en behållare (45 cm x 54 cm x 20 cm) fylld med fin sand. En färgad icke vattenlöslig vätska (LNAPL) spreds över en rektangulär yta, 5 x 20 cm, på försöksytan. Spridningen gjordes i fyra omgångar på olika sätt; med konstant flöde, konstant nivå och varierande nivå. Fyrtiotvå tidsdo män reflektometri (TDR) prober användes för att följa LNAPL transporte
Notwithstanding the wealth of research on migration and subjective wellbeing, the issue of moonlighting and its welfare implication among migrants has not been thoroughly explored in empirical literature. Using rich individual-level panel data from the University of Cape Town’s National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), this study established a number of interesting findings: (a) there is moonlighting
The dual-mode ramjet engine is one of the most promising propulsion systems for hypersonic flight because it can be operated in a wide range of flight Mach numbers. This engine type will be quite complicated to use in practice since it requires Ma<2 and therefore needs to be complemented by a turbojet engine for take-off, landing and low speed maneuvering. The dual mode ramjet engine will operate
The chapter deals with Seediq vocal expressions that start with a short motif that is often repeated once and then followed by another motif, which is repeated once etc. This pattern is sometimes called ‘litany form’. The form that results when two persons sing in alternation is called canonic repetition. It is shown that such performances can be understood as being built on performance templates
The speed and intensity of modern sports puts the athlete at risk for impacts to the head, or to the body when the impact force is transmitted to the head. Rapid head rotation caused by these impact forces may lead to a sports-related concussion (SRC), defined as a mild traumatic brain injury, typically resulting in short-lived disturbance of the central nervous system function. The diagnosis of S
Looking back, it might seem as if all higher education in Sweden switched to remote teaching on March 18, following a government decision the day before. Instead, higher education had started to change from within already a couple of weeks earlier, as teachers and students reacted to the pandemic. To document and to try and understand what was going on, I sent out questionnaires to the students in
A practical and accessible guide that demystifies ForEx risk for managers in all areas of business Virtually any organisation active in the global economy is impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange (FX or ForEx) markets. Managers need to understand this increasingly complex issue and measure their firm's exposure to risk. Corporate Foreign Exchange Risk Management is an in-depth yet accessibl
Based on a conceptualization of heteroactivism as a transnational phenomenon manifesting in local contexts to spread and express resistance to gender and sexual rights, this article aims to illuminate new dimensions of heteroactivism beyond a sole focus on gender and sexuality by bringing its specificities in the Swedish context to the fore. Drawing on digital ethnography with members of the neo-c
Innovation has been a key topic of interest for the regional studies community. In particular, the regional characteristics and impacts of innovation have been a popular theme of enquiry and theorisation, and the community has been at the forefront of discussions around regional innovation systems, in particular. However, we see a large gap in the current state of the art around frugal innovation.
This study investigates levels of oral proficiency in French, German and Spanish attained by Swedish speaking students in lower secondary school. A total of 122 students performed two tasks: one production task and one interaction task. The oral performances were rated using scales from the Common European Framework of Referencefor Languages. The rating was done in successive steps by researchers
Some magnetic systems feature spin textures, real-space patterns in the orientation of spins that can topologically form non-trivial configurations. Among them, a vortex-like spin swirling texture known as a magnetic skyrmion has attracted particular attention. Lattices of skyrmions form in the helimagnet MnSi with a periodicity of 18 nm, which makes them amenable to investigation by Lorentz trans
We characterize the model spaces K in which functions with smooth boundary extensions are dense. It is shown that such approximations are possible if and only if the singular measure associated to the singular inner factor of is concentrated on a countable union of Beurling Carleson sets. In fact, we use a duality argument to show that if there exists a restriction of the associated singular measu
