Experimental study on the forcing design for an intermittent injection

Abstract: In this paper we consider the effects of acceleration and deceleration on the forcing of an intermittent jet. This experimental study specifically focuses on the effect of the acceleration and deceleration on the mixing of an intermittent jet with the ambient fluid and on the growth of disturbances that may lead to turbulence. The influence of different injection strategies has been eval

Crip heroes and social change

Denna artikel presenterar en kritisk läsning av litteraturvetaren Robert McRuers Crip Theory: cultural signs of queerness and disability (2006), i vilken författaren utforskar gemensamma beröringspunkter mellan funktionshinderforskning och queerteori. Artikelns syfte är tvåfaldigt. Inledningsvis analyseras vilka konsekvenser McRuers val av empiri har för det ramverk han utvecklar: cripteorin. DäreTHIS ARTICLE PRESENTS a critical reading of Robert McRuer’s Crip Theory: cultural signs of queerness and disability (2006), in which the author, a professor of English, explores common ground between disability studies and queer theory. The conjunction of the two has been rare (Grönvik 2008:48; Kafer 2009:291) but does ap- pear in a special edition of the magazine GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay

Comparison of the oxidative reactivity of recombinant fetal and adult human hemoglobin : implications for the design of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers

Hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been engineered to replace or augment the oxygen carrying capacity of erythrocytes. However, clinical results have generally been disappointing, in part due to the intrinsic oxidative toxicity of Hb. The most common HBOC starting material is adult human or bovine Hb. However, it has been suggested that fetal Hb may offer advantages due to decrease

Atmospheres of retail and the asceticism of civilized consumption

During recent decades, consumption-oriented spaces of comfort and hospitality have proliferated - including, for instance, lounge shopping malls, food court plazas, spas, entertainment retail, visitor centres, and the development of ever larger pedestrian precincts. In this article we explore shopping malls as capitalist domes in Sloterdijk's sense. We observe atmospheric production, atmospheric m

On the applicability of geophysics for groundwater investigations in areas with lack of hydrogeological information. Examples from Mozambique

The work presented in this thesis has aimed to improve the knowledge about the groundwater occurrence in different geological conditions in Mozambique. The main focus in this study has been on the understanding of hydrogeological conditions in area with little background information by use of geophysical investigation. The lack of background information is a problem in many countries because the e

The significance of ST-elevation in aVL in anterolateral myocardial infarction : An assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

Background: Anterolateral myocardial infarction (MI) is traditionally defined on the electrocardiogram by ST-elevation (STE) in I, aVL, and the precordial leads. Traditional literature holds STE in lead aVL to be associated with occlusion proximal to the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery. However, concomitant ischemia of the inferior myocardium may theoretically

The role of the Swedish government and trade unions in managing the Volvo cars crisis in 2008-2010 and its impact on the Swedish system

Sweden has a small internal market and, thus, bases its wealth on the exports. Following the so-called Rhen-Meidner model this objective is also achieved thought the solidarity wage: wages are parametrized on a lead-ing sector (generally the major export industry) and because each firm faces the same labour cost they are obliged to base their competitiveness on higher productivity levels (reached

Activity objects in CAD-programs for building design : A prototype program implementation

In the early stages of the building design process, during the programming andthe proposal stages, both user activities and the building are in focus for thedesigner. In spite of this, today’s CAD programs give no support formanagement of information about user activities in the building.
