Restrained shrinkage of massive, one-storey, non-load bearing masonry walls with one-sided restraint has been simulated. A discontinuum model, including tensile and shear failure of mortar joints is employed to reproduce masonry behaviour in crack zones. Where cracking is not expected, masonry is modelled as an elastic continuum. The model is implemented in the commercial finite element programme
Popular Abstract in English Knowledge can be many things; it can be metaphysical, enhancing the understanding of human beings and social relations. It can be hard facts, information, structure and ordering of nature. Knowledge can be inherent in the knowing subject – the emancipated subject, or it can exist as an entity independent of its founder. An apposite metaphor is knowledge as an end in itsThis thesis deals with the colonisation of the university by market forces. The object of inquiry is coproduction of academic knowledge between academic and non-academic actors in newly established universities and university colleges in Sweden. The development of knowledge as a main competitive advantage for commercial companies, and the shift in policies accompanying this development, provides a
Galectins, a lectin family, have shown binding affinities towards b-galactosides. Galectins have been proposed to be involved in a wide range of functions like for example, cell growth, adhesion, migration, chemo taxis and apoptosis. They have also been associated with various cancer types. However, the detailed functions of galectins are still very much unknown. High affinity inhibitors towards t
Three theoretical atomic structure projects of interest for the astrophysical community and the lightning industry which are partially finished will be presented. Extensive ab initio calculations of properties of astrophysical interest has been done or are under its way for Ga I, Ga II, Ga III, In II and In III. The aim of the project is to also make calculations for In I, Tl I, Tl II and Tl III.
In the present paper we discuss simulation with a wavelet element method. The model problem is a simplified 2D-roller bearing model consisting of an elastic outer and inner ring and a roller. This model reflects typical properties of elastic multibody systems, eg. combination of gross motion with elastic deformation and contact problems. The wavelet element method is implemented in a similar way a
En jämförelse görs mellan Løgstrup och Simmel utifrån den förres begrepp om "tillid" och den senares begrepp om "Treue".
I artikeln belyses den samlade svenska diskrimineringslagen (2009) från ett perspektiv av intersektionalitet. Genom en analys av ett antal mål från den svenska arbetsdomstolen där minst två diskrimineringsgrunder har varit aktuella, visar författare att det det både brister hos arbetsdomstolen när det gäller att förstå individers utsatthet när det gäller multipel diskriminering och lagen som sådan
The present communication is mainly focused on molecular oxygen detection in porous organic matter, through a tunable diode laser spectroscopy. Initial measurements on wood were preformed in order to illustrate the influence of the density and anisotropy of the sample on the GASMAS-signal. Additional measurements were performed on horticultural produces, in which the concentration of the molecular
User participation in requirement analysis (RA) is necessary for IS quality and user acceptance. A prerequisite for meaningful user participation is that the coming users also understand the requirements. This understanding is made difficult by abstract and “technical” modelling languages and notations which require learning and experience. The Business Rules Approach (BRA) builds on a notion of B
