Prediction of the in-plane biaxial strength of paper by the Tsai-Wu failure criterion has in general proved to be in good agreement with experimental data. However, the Tsai-Wu criterion overestimates the strength in some parts of the biaxial tension region. This shortcoming can be corrected by adding a pair of cubic terms to the existing Tsai-Wu criterion. The modified Tsai-Wu criterion presented

Abstract in Danish Moms påvirker stort set alle i samfundet. Dels bidrager moms med indtægter til staten. Dels investerer virksomheder en masse tid og ressourcer i administrationen af momsreglerne. Moms er også en indirekte skat som er EU-harmoniseret. Den store indflydelse fra EU-Retten medfører at området er specielt og komplekst. Grundlæggende momsretlige principper – i teori og praksis giver

A technique which uses polymer nanoparticles as interaction phase in capillary electrochromatography (CEC)-ESI-MS was described. A continuous full filling technique in which nanoparticles were suspended in the entire electrolyte volume as well as conventional partial filling technique were presented. The results verified that polymer nanoparticles suspended in electrolyte can be used as pseudo sta

Data was collected from five evacuations from the same school building, conducted in Spain between 2011 and 2014. Children from 6 to 16 years old were observed during the evacuation exercises. Four of the evacuations were unannounced, while one was semi-announced: the staff being aware that the drill would be conducted on a particular day, while the students were unaware. Information was gathered

This thesis investigates the connection between open access – the free online availability and distribution of scientific and scholarly publications – and the ‘developing world’ from a post- development perspective. It takes a discourse analytical approach, drawing predominantly on Michel Foucault’s understanding of discourse. It aims to answer the following questions: - Which notions of science,

Most stars form in some sort of stellar cluster or association. In such clusters the number density of stars can be very high. Thus, single stars in such clusters may undergo frequent close encounters with other stars and exchange encounters with binary systems. The perturbation caused by the other star in a close encounter or by the companion star in a binary can have significant effects on the e

Construction in rock is associated with risks because knowledge of the geology and ground conditions is limited. Unforeseen rock conditions involve a large risk to the project and can in the end entail delays and extra costs. To minimize the risks, an optimized pre-investigation program has to be conducted where essential information is gathered in order to make the best decisions throughout the c

This paper investigates the pricing bias in the Swedish OMX-Index Option market and how a stochastic volatility affects European call option prices. The market is purely European and without dividends for the period studied. A CIR square-root process for the volatility is estimated with non-linear least square minimization, and stochastic volatility option prices are calculated through Fourier-Inv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur förklarar vi vad som hände efter Big Bang? Hur är det möjligt att titta 14 miljarder år tillbaka i tiden, isolera de första miljarddelarna av en sekund, och studera vad som pågår precis där och då? Svaret är såklart, att vi inte kan det. Det vi kan göra, är att om och om igen återskapa några viktiga aspekter av de förhållanden som rådde då, och studera vad som händeA new energy regime has recently become accessible in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Abundant in hadron collisions, the two-jet final state explores the structure of the constituents of matter and the possible emergence of new forces of nature, in the largest momentum transfer collisions produced. The results from searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model in the dijet angu
