In order to operate plants fueled with biomass in an optimum manner, it is important to create thermodynamic models of the same. However, these kind of plants are hard to model by "traditional" methods such as heat and mass balance programs. Some difficulties are the large inertia of some subsystems, as well as the fact that many important parameters are not constant nor unequivocally determined.
Abstract in Undetermined Mötet mellan organisationer och kunder, det så kallade servicemötet, är av central betydelse för såväl förståelse som för ledning av tjänsteverksamheter. Att tjänster utgörs av de interaktioner som uppstår under servicemötet har sedan länge uppmärksammats, inte minst av forskare som Christian Grönroos, Evert Gummesson och Richard Normann och den Nordiska skolan inom servic
A 2.5V/12b/30MS/s randomly time interleaved ADC system has been implemented. Using this circuit an earlier presented [6] blind gain error equalization method has been verified. It is verified that the gain in each ADC unit can be found and equalized by using the blind estimation method, since the randomization assures that there is no correlation between the ADC unit used and the input data. It ha
Popular Abstract in Swedish Intestinal ischemi/reperfusion (I/R) är ett potentiellt mycket allvarligt tillstånd som kan bero dels på direkt ocklusion av mesenteriella kärl, men även vara sekundärt till andra tillstånd med nedsatt visceral cirkulation, som exempelvis chock eller akut pankreatit. Trots korrekt och även initialt framgångsrik behandling av den bakomliggande orsaken till I/R-tillståndeIntestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is a potentially life-threatening condition, sometimes leading to a systemic inflammatory response and the potential development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The overall aim of the thesis was to study the effects of intestinal I/R on pulmonary function with special emphasis on removal of excess alveolar fluid, pulmonary endothelial barrier p
Fourteen genera belong to a monophyletic core of cetrarioid lichens, Ahtiana, Allocetraria, Arctocetraria, Cetraria, Cetrariella, Cetreliopsis, Flavocetraria, Kaernefeltia, Masonhalea, Nephromopsis, Tuckermanella, Tuckermannopsis, Usnocetraria and Vulpicida. A total of 71 samples representing 65 species (of 90 worldwide) and all type species of the genera are included in phylogentic analyses based
An L1 adaptive controller of piecewise constant type has been applied to a fighter aircraft by augmenting it to a linear state-feedback controller. Angle of attack and sideslip as well as velocity vector roll rate is demanded and controlled. It is relatively easy to design a controller augmentation this way; few parameters need to be tuned. To design an L1-controller for roll/pitch/yaw-motion of a
We give a procedure to find good convolutional codes for use with iterative decoding (turbo equalization) of the coded AWGN intersymbol interference (ISI) channel. The method is based on the input-output bit error rate characteristic of the convolutional BCJR module in the iterative decoder, in combination with the code minimum distance. Both are essential to find best codes. Best feedforward and
Discontinuous bifurcations of an elastic-plastic material obeying Mohr's yield criterion and a nonassociated flow rule and subjected to general three-dimensional loading are investigated. The first possibility for bifurcation is identified and expressed in terms of the critical hardening modulus and the corresponding orientation of the slip planes. In the case of perfect plasticity the Mohr and Ro
This paper presents, for the first time, non-contact acoustic trapping of cells in a microfluidic format. The employed acoustic force maintains the cells in the center of a fluidic channel while allowing for perfusion of e.g. nutrients or drugs as well as optical monitoring of the cells. Neural stem cells have been acoustically trapped and tested for viability after 15 minutes of ultrasonic radiat
