Rapporten redovisar en utvärdering av SI-verksamheten (SI = Samverkansinlärning) vid fem civilingenjörsprogram vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola under hösten 2008 tillämpat på en kurs i endimensionell analys. SI-övningarna med fokus på grupporienterat arbete och diskussioner kring svårigheter i kursen har varit ett komplement till ordinarie undervisning bestående av föreläsningar och räkneövningar. SI-ö

This paper presents experimental data, performed at atmospheric conditions, on a novel flameless combustor with application to gas turbine engines. Flameless combustion is characterized by distributed flame and even temperature distribution achieved at conditions of high preheat air temperature and sufficiently large amounts of recirculating low oxygen concentration exhaust gases. Extremely low em

A computational model with three interacting components for context sensitive re-inforcement learning, context processing and automation can autonomously learn a focus attention and a shift attention task. The performance of the model is similar to that of normal children, and when a single parameter is changed, the performance on the two tasks approaches that of autistic children.

This paper reports a comparison of soft and hard piezoceramic transducer materials used for ultrasonic particle trapping in a microfluidic bioanalytical platform. The investigation is made with the objective to obtain high acoustic forces with a minimum of temperature increase. Themperature is a critical parameter for bioassays and most often need to be kept below a certain level to allow handling

Popular Abstract in Swedish Azofärger är syntetiska kemikalier som används i stor utsträckning för att färga konsumtionsartiklar, t.ex. läder, textiler, mat, kosmetika. Dock kan ett fåtal av dessa färger reduktivt avspjälkas och till följd därav frigöra kancerogena aromatiska aminer. Av den orsaken har EU infört ett förbud i medlemsstaterna mot användning av potentiellt farliga azofärger i läder- Dyes are commercially indispensable and the expanding industry offers a complete palette of colors. Azo dyes constitute the largest chemical class of synthetic dyes because of their versatility, low price, and ease of production. These dyes may, however, pose health risk to humans due to formation of mutagenic/carcinogenic aromatic amines upon reductive cleavage of their azo groups (-N=N-). Theref

In this paper, we analyse the prototypicality of the passive voice in the Slavic languages. We argue that there are some variations in the periphrastic passive, which stem from the historical development of the tense-aspect system, particularly from an earlier resultative construction in the case of Indo-European languages. The periphrastic construction in some languages has abandoned the earlier

A crucial debate is under way concerning the public's participation in biotechnology decision-making processes. This study, concerning the policy process around xenotransplantation (XTP) in Latvia and Sweden in the period 1970-2004, focuses on how scientific experts and politicians view the public and the public's participation in the process of developing policy regarding XTP. Drawing on intervie

This project was recently carried out as a part of The Swedish Pompeii Project, which was started in 2000 as a research and fieldwork activity initiated by the Swedish Institute in Rome. The aim was to record and analyze an entire Pompeian city block, Insula V 1. Since autumn 2011 a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, involving 3D reconstructions and documentation methods, was added to the

De arkeologiska fragmenten visar att det är möjligt att även längre till- baka i tiden skönja förhållningssätt till landskapet även om namn och his- toria är glömda. Många platser har försvunnit ur vårt minne och några har väckts till liv av arkeologerna. Vi vet att det finns massor av bortglömda platser kvar att upptäcka. Kullabygden kommer att vara ett eldorado också för framtida forskare. Somt
