Manufacturing involute gears using form grinding or form milling wheels are beneficial to hobs in some special cases, such as small scale production and, the obvious, manufacture of internal gears. To manufacture involute gears correctly the form wheel must be purpose designed, and in this paper the geometry of the form wheel is determined through inverse calculation. A mathematical model is prese

Recent studies stress the relevance of a broad conceptualization of the knowledge economy which goes beyond the strong, current policy focus on high-tech industries. Today, low-tech industries continue to have a significant role in European manufacturing in terms of employment, value added and export. However, the character and activities of these industries are profoundly changing as they become

The theme of the book is the distribution and abundance of organisms in space and time. The core of the book lies in how local births and deaths are tied to emigration and immigration processes, and how environmental variability at different scales affects population dynamics with stochastic processes and spatial structure and shows how elementary analytical tools can be used to understand populat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mikroorganismer finns runt omkring oss i miljön och mycket tyder på att de påverkar oss mer, och delvis på ett annat sätt, än vi tidigare trott. Vi vet alla att infektioner kan spridas genom inandning av luftburna patogena mikroorganismer. Men luftburna mikrober kan även ge andra sjukdomar. Det är t.ex välkänt att lantbrukare riskerar att drabbas av symptom i luftvägarnMicroorganisms are ubiquitous in indoor air and epidemiological data suggest that inhalation of microbes and/or their products adhered on air–borne dust particles can impair well–being and health. In the present thesis microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) and cellular markers were studied by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). By using solid phase microextraction (SPME) combined

Popular Abstract in Swedish På utsidan av insidan - slemmet i tarmen Kroppens slemhinnor, till exempel de i magsäcken och tarmen, täcks av ett slemlager. Slemmet skyddar cellerna i slemhinnan från skadliga ämnen och mikroorganismer genom att ‘fånga’ dem och därmed hindra dem från att nå fram till cellerna. Slemmet är uppbyggt av stora, trådlika och ’klistriga’ molekyler, så kallade muciner, som gHighly glycosylated glycoproteins – mucins – are the major constituents of the mucus layer and glycocalyx that cover mucosal surfaces. Twelve human mucin genes have been identified, and the mucins may be divided into those that are membraneassociated and those that are secreted. Among the latter, the oligomeric mucins are responsible for mucus formation. The various tissues have characteristic muc
