Two modeling approaches for a multi-cylinder cardboard dryer were compared with respect to fitting parameters and model structure. Model 1 includes internal mass transfer while model 2 does not. One important fitting parameter for all models is the contact heat transfer coefficient between the cylinder and the paper. Two different correlations, a constant value and a moisture dependant (linear) he
This paper deals with the ethical debate concerning human stem cell research and the methods that are associated with it from a patent law perspective. It will focus on the patentability of human embryonic stem cells at the European Patent Office (EPO) and in Germany.
This paper provides a theoretical overview of the public-private partnerships for policy and concept development. We use a case study from Sweden of a road user charging development prject to explore institutional barriers to PPPs and to describe how a more informal co-operation not only brings added value to the project but also enables an ongoing innovation process which we hope will result in r
There are to be sure many reasons for studying Axel Oxenstierna’s correspondence. One is the open pictures you get of prominent contemporaries, and the fact that the judgements and reports you read can be free from wisdom after the event. You have thus an excellent opportunity to get a glimpse of the background to the initiatives and actions of those at the centre of power. In my paper I will di
We consider differential Riccati equations (DREs). These equations arise in many areas and are very important within the field of optimal control. In particular, DREs provide the crucial link between the state and the optimal input in the solution of linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problems. For the approximation of the solutions to DREs we consider the recently introduced splitting methods, wit
