The purpose of this study was testing and performance simulation of an innovative tracking hybrid solar system being developed by the Swedish Company Arontis. The Solar8 collector produces both electrical and thermal energy in one system. Its performance was compared with conventional photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors working side-by-side which are already on the market. The solar8

A relationship between stress and deformation can be evaluated from the load and elongation recorded in the tensile test of a strip of paper. This relationship characterizes the fracture properties of the paper. It shows how the stress acting across a fracture region decreases as the deformation increases.The relationship can be used in strength analysis by the finite element method and for the de

Radio based localization and tracking usually require multiple receivers/transmitters or a known floor plan. This paper presents a method for anchor free indoor positioning based on single antenna ultra wideband (UWB) measurements. By using time of arrival information from multipath propagation components stemming from scatterers with different, but unknown, positions we estimate the movement of t

The thesis describes the neural precursor cell line RN33B transplanted subretinally to adult healthy and young dystrophic rat retina. The cell line is generated from E12,5 rat raphe nucleus and transduced with the temperature sensitive mutant of the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) large T-antigen. The transplanted cells can be detected by the reporter genes for beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) and the green f

Objectives. The evidence regarding effectiveness of parental support interventions targeting children's health behaviours is weak.We aimed to review: 1) effectiveness of universal parental support interventions to promote dietary habits, physical activity (PA) or prevent overweight and obesity among children 2–18 years and 2) effectiveness in relation to family socio-economic position. Methods. Th

The paper presents a feedback scheduling strategy for multiple control tasks that uses feedback from the plant states to distribute the computing resources optimally among the tasks. Linear-quadratic controllers are analyzed, and expressions relating the expected cost to the sampling period and the plant state are derived and used for on-line sample-rate adjustments. In the case of minimum-varianc

Att utforma och använda mål för att styra har vuxit fram som en stor styrfråga. Om inte en ständig listetta i kommuner och landsting de kommande åren, talar mycket åtminstone för en tio i topp placering på lednings- och styrvertygslistan. Så har det alltid varit menar en del av er. Och visst har ni rätt i det. Men har det någonsin varit så här mycket? Är det inte ovanligt mycket trummor och trumpe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling beskriver den centrala metabolismen och produktionen av exopolysackarider (EPS) hos två olika mjölksyrabakterier: Lactobacillus reuteri och Pediococcus parvulus. Mjölksyrabakterier används inom livsmedelsindustrin som startkulturer i olika mjölkbaserade produkter. Generellt utnyttjas en specifik metabol väg för nerbrytningen av sockerkällan till mjölksyThis thesis deals with the central carbohydrate metabolism and exopolysaccharide (EPS) formation in two different lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Lactobacillus reuteri and Pediococcus parvulus. LAB are traditionally used as starter cultures in the food industry. In general, LAB harbours one glycolytic pathway converting carbohydrates into lactic acid. However, L. reuteri ATCC 55730 was proven to use t
