Drop breakup in high-energy emulsification is often modelled using a population balance equation (PBE) framework. For cases with high emulsifier to disperse phase concentration, the PBE is dominated by the fragmentation term. Since there are no analytical solutions to the continuous PBE for physically reasonable fragmentation rate expressions, a discretization is often needed to evaluate the PBE,

Misstänksamheten mot det nyuppfunna margarinet var nära att leda till ett totalförbud i Sverige kring sekelskiftet 1900. Ännu idag florerar fördomar mot ”konstsmöret”, som måste betraktas som ett av våra mest politiskt kontroversiella livsmedel.

Understanding ethical buying behaviour is an important component in the study of sustainability. Multiple studies on fair trade have been conducted in established markets in Europe, with limited but increasing research in emerging markets. This study used a questionnaire survey to investigate South African consumers’ ethical buying behaviour, using conjoint analysis to imitate the multi-attribute

Radar technology has developed rapidly during the last century. Besides its initial use for military, it is nowadays also applied for many civil applications. Improvements in circuit technology make integrated radar sensors possible, allowing a significant reduction of the production cost. Integrated radio circuits in the low gigahertz range are widely available, not least driven by wireless commu

Public transport is an important part of the transition to a more sustainable future. The increasingly market-oriented public transport companies today market themselves with a wealth of messages in multiple channels such as direct mail, websites and apps. This communication is part of the influence that the (potential) traveler is exposed to, yet little research and testing is carried out in orde

This case study on the dark side of communication and place branding explores the Amazon corporation’s highly-publicized competitive search for a city to become their second headquarters (dubbed HQ2). In 2017 Amazon sent an open Request for Proposals (RFP) to cities in North America defining what constitutes an ‘ideal’ headquarters. In addition to offering capital and incentives, Amazon’s ideal ci

The escalating number of road traffic crashes in Malaysia poses a critical concern. The underreporting of these crashes has been identified as a significant problem that obstructs the effectiveness and efficiency of road safety work. Accordingly, a data-linkage study comparing hospital and police databases in a representative region of Malaysia was carried out. It showed a severe underreporting of
