Exploring emotional relationships between user and product is an important issue to adress in the design of t non-discriminating everyday products. Universal design is one approach among several, which the industrial designer can use when designing on the basis of on a non-discriminating philosophy. One way to achieve an integration of the user product relationship into the concept of universal de
Surfaces subjected to rolling and sliding contacts may suffer from contact fatigue. The cam and roller follower mechanism is a typical rolling and sliding contact. This thesis deals with the running in aspects to avoid high stress variation that leads to fatigue wear and the aspect of what happens to indentation damages that occurs on the surface if there are any particles in the lubricant. The pa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling studerar kronisk venös sjukdom i nedre extremiteten, något som drabbar mellan 30 – 50% av den vuxna populationen i västvärlden. En viktig faktor i utredningen av kronisk venös sjukdom är s.k. reflux, vilket innebär att venklaffar inte förmår hindra blodet att rinna i ”fel” riktning. Därmed minskar möjligheten till ventryckssänkning i samband med arbete,Controversies exist regarding both what is required for a proper diagnosis of chronic venous disease (CVD), and what treatment to offer patients. An objective evaluation is mandatory to individualize treatment. This thesis deals with the evaluation of patients with CVD with specific emphasis on CEAP classification (C; clinical, E; etiological, A; anatomical, P; pathophysiological), symptoms and si
Spatially-coupled regular LDPC code ensembles have outstanding performance with belief propagation decoding and can perform arbitrarily close to the Shannon limit without requiring irregular graph structures. In this paper, we are concerned with the performance and complexity of spatially-coupled ensembles with a rate-compatibility constraint. Spatially-coupled regular ensembles that support rate-
Ethnologists, philosophers and anthropologists demonstrate ways of relating phenomenology to the analysis of culture.
