This paper presents a reduced-order through-flow expander design for the Humid Air Turbine (HAT) also called the Evaporative Gas Turbine (EvGT). The HAT cycle is an innovative gas turbine cycle that uses humid air to enhance efficiency and power output. This means that there will be a higher water vapour content in the exhaust gases than for a simple cycle. This high water content affects the desi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Insulin är ett hormon som utsöndras från bukspottkörteln när koncentrationen av näringsämnen stiger i blodet. Insulinet transporteras via blodbanan till sina målvävnader; levern, skelettmusklerna och fettväven. Där binder det till insulinreceptorer på cellernas yta och insulinet medierar på så vis en rad olika effekter. Främst stimulerType 2 Diabetes is a disorder that increases globally, but mainly in the western world. One of the hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance in the target tissues of insulin action (adipose tissue, liver and skeletal muscle). In addition, most patients with Type 2 diabetes are obese. Increased release of free fatty acids from the enlarged and/or dysfunctional adipose tissue is suggested t

The use of fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy in the analysis of cervical histopathology is a growing field of research. The majority of this research is performed with point-like probes. Typically, clinicians select probe sites visually, collecting a handful of spectral samples. An exception to this methodology is the Hyperspectral Diagnostic Imaging (HSDI®) instrument developed by Science

Let v be a vertex with n edges incident to it, such that the n edges partition an infinitesimally small circle C around v into convex pieces. The minimum local convex partition (MLCP) problem asks for two or three out of the n edges that still partition C into convex pieces and that are of minimum total length. We present an optimal algorithm solving the problem in linear time if the edges inciden

In this report we present a study on the reliability and validity of the Revised Class Play scale in which children living in Sweden have participated. The scale measure a variety of aspects of social competence, such as leadership, aggressiveness and sensitivity. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not the Revised Class Play scale (Masten, Morison & Pellegrini, 1985) is

Handledning är en praktik som under senare år kommit till användning inom en lång rad olika fält, allt ifrån utbildning inom skola, universitet och arbetsliv, professionell utveckling, organisations- och ledarutveckling till kultur- och fritidsverksamheter. Handledning - perspektiv och erfarenheter fokuserar på den bredd som finns inom ämnet, där varje fält hämtar idéer och arbetssätt från variera

Asymmetrisk katalys har under de senaste decennierna utvecklats kraftigt. År 2001 delade Knowles, Noyori och Sharpless Nobelpriset i kemi för sina banbrytande bidrag inom just detta område. Utmaningen idag är att utveckla nya metoder inom asymmetrisk katalys som även tar hänsyn till vår växande miljöpåfrestning. Nästan alla av dagens kirala katalysatorer är utvecklade för syntes i organiska lösnin

The application of Supersoft Decision theory (SSD) to fire safety problems, and of decision analysis in general to decisions involving a high degree of epistemic uncertainty, are discussed. SSD and two traditional decision analytic methods employed earlier within the context of fire engineering are compared, particularly regarding how uncertainties are dealt with and the robustness of decisions –

Abstract in Norwegian Dette oplæg handler om moderniseringen af den indledende matematikundervisning ved de videregående uddannelser. Med henblik på diskussionen fremhæves tre teser og tilhørende konkrete eksempler fra et kursus som bud på, hvad ’modernisering’ omfatter og hvordan den kan realiseres. Fokus her er primært på de uddannelser, hvor den indledende matematikundervisning afholdes som sto
