Because of the increasing demand of low polluting and efficient diesel engines, numerous studies related to the different processes that take place in them are being carried out. This study treats the direct injection of fuel at high pressures (c.a. 1500 bar). Ignition is not simulated in this work since this is intended to be a previous step for future studies which include combustion. A combinat

Background Lantmännen is one of Scandinavia’s largest and problem corporations in agriculture, food and energy. Since many of the corporations’ markets are mature and highly competitive there are low margins and hence a constant need for new and improved products, processes and services to maintain profitability.

Issue of study For the past ten years there has been a remarkable growth in the wind power industry. During 2003 - 2010 the production capacity increased by 456 % in Sweden, corresponding to total capacity of 2019 MW. An additional 754 MW was installed in 2011, and there is a planned capacity installation of 950 MW for 2012. This will, according to a prognosis from Svensk Vindenergi, generate a po

Gamification is a new trend that seeks to engage people and change their behaviour by implementing game-design thinking in non-game contexts. Recent analytics predicts that more than 70 % of the world’s 2000 largest organisations will have at least one gamified platform by 2014, which indicates that gamification is, and will continue to be, very important in the future of IT-strategy and digital m

Syftet med studien var att undersöka och beskriva en ny modell för pedagogisk handledning operationssal erfors av studenterna. Tolv studenter som genomgick sin verksamhetsförlagd

This study aims to illuminate the perception of Spanish and English language bloggers and to understand them and their activities from the analytical perspective of an online European Public Sphere (EPS). The research, using a methodology of semi structured online interviews, answers two questions. The first one is how these bloggers give evidence of an actor-based online European transnational bl

The majority of industrial control systems today are distributed over networks. These systems tend to be complex, and can be difficult both to configure and to analyze; therefore, there is definitely a gain in being able to simulate the behaviour of such a system prior to the actual implementation. This master’s thesis investigates the possibility to simulate the ABB automation system 800xA by ex

Fenomenet med e-handel växer men i Sverige är det fortfarande relativt få som väljer att handla livsmedel på nätet. Däremot ökar intresset och konkurrensen hårdnar. De stora svenska livsmedelsföretagen måste därför agera. Ett stort problem har varit att hitta lönsamma affärsmodeller för att flytta den traditionella handeln och hela butikens sortiment ut på nätet i ett så kallat e-grocery koncept.

Utvecklingsinsatsen som studeras är Netport Science Port etapp V som är en nybyggnation som är tänkt att attrahera forskare genom en kreativ miljö. Frågeställningarna handlar om

Bakgrund: Under generell anestesi observerar anestesisjuksköterskan kontinuerligt förändringar i patientens tillstånd. Korrekta beslut om åtgärder måste tas omedelbart för att undvika allvarliga komplikationer. Tidigare studier visar att beslut fattas baserat på kunskap och erfarenhet. Med längre erfarenhet fattas beslut även med intuition. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa vad som påv

Uppsatsen behandlar förhållandet mellan jämställdhetslagstiftningen och principen om arbetsmarknadsparternas självständighet, och förlängningen motsättningen mellan de båda styrsystemen politik och marknad. Över tid har jämställdhetslagstiftningens innehåll och omfattning skärpts i flera omgångar, vilket åtminstone principiellt sett har inskränkt parternas självständighet. Trots detta präglas lagsThis essay concerns the relation between sex equality legislation and the independence of the labour market organisations. The relation can also be recognised as the opposition between the two steering systems politics and markets. Over the years the sex equality legislation has been sharpened several times, which has led to a limitation of the organisations’ independence – at least in a principle

The people of northern Uganda has for decades been entangled in a conflict between, on the one hand, crude government forces and, on the other hand, the brutal rebel organization the Lord’s Resistance Army led by the ruthless Joseph Kony. In 2003 the Ugandan government referred the situation to the International Criminal Court with the official stance that their intention was to, through capturing

MMP13 (Collagenase 3) is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. In pathology it is overexpressed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) and human carcinomas. It is secreted in its inactive proforms from which it can be activated. The project studies how MMP13 can degrade/digest the normal femoral head human articular cartilage. Peptides were separated using reversed phas

Denna uppsats studerar intresset hos svenska företag och konsumenter för en märkning om vattenåtgång på livsmedel från gröda/djur till färdig vara. Vid produktion av det flesta typer av varor finns en vattenåtgång med mer eller mindre skadlig påverkan på miljön beroende på liter per kilo, geografisk allokering och årstid. De miljöeffekter vattenåtgången innebär är majoriteten av konsumenterna omed

In 2007, the swedish government decided to let the authority of land survey produce an updated height surface model with higher resolution. The data collection for the modelling is performed with airborne laser scanning, which in this form can be used in several other applications. One of these additional applications for the laser data is inventory of forest. The method most frequently used for t
