This project is designed as a typical consultancy work for Environmental Engineering students at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University, Sweden. It gives students a feeling of a possible future work by being a practical training in solving a complex environmental problem involving hydrological and ecological challenges. Additionally, the project work provides training of critical thinki

This paper presents the outline, goal, achievements,and work in progress of the hardware image processing projectat the Digital-ASIC group at Lund institute of technology (LTH).The project attempts to automate a surveillance system for indoormonitoring. This includes motion segmentation, image filtering,feature extraction, tracking, and classification. Hardware accel-erators for segmentation and f

Popular Abstract in English Popular Summary Since the beginning of mankind, humans have managed to find ways to make use of the resources available at hand in order to survive and even to improve their livelihoods. The basic needs for food as well as other amenities were met from plant- and animal resources until the 19th century when industrial revolution changed the base of production to fossilAbstract Biocatalysis is considered as benign and efficient alternative to chemical catalysis for organic syntheses. Lipases are the most versatile biological catalysts implemented so far with great potential for production of different chemicals and materials in non-conventional reaction media. This thesis presents investigations on lipase catalyzed esterification and transesterification reaction

Abstract PURPOSE: Longitudinal prospective study before, during and after normal pregnancy of the effect of short-term submaximal exercise on maternal oxygen saturation. METHODS: Fourteen healthy women were recruited to the study before a planned pregnancy, and were followed seven times during the pregnancy and for up to 6 month after delivery. A submaximal bicycle exercise test with a target hea

The paper describes and analyses both shipper’s and provider’s risk in outsourcing advanced logistics services. Also the risk management process (including risk analysis, risk assessment and risk management) of both companies are described and discussed. Conclusions are that risk management have been of increasing importance both during and after the outsourcing decision, and that both parties hav

The nucleotide sequence coding for the beta chain of murine C3 was determined from cloned cDNA and genomic DNA fragments. Sonicated subfragments were randomly inserted into the bacteriophage M13 and sequenced using the dideoxynucleotide technique. Each nucleotide was sequenced on average six times in these studies. The derived amino acid sequence includes a signal peptide and a tetra-arginine sequ

The adaptive autopilots are based on velocity scheduling, a self-tuning regulator for steady state course keeping, a high gain turning regulator with variable structure, and a Kalman filter. Results from simulations and full-scale experiments on three different tankers are presented. The autopilots are shown to work excellently under different loads, speed and weather conditions.

Objectivity is a principle widely acknowledged and honoured in contemporary society. Rather than treating objectivity as an a priori defined category to be tested empirically, I refer to the construction of objectivity as it is accomplished in practice as “objectivity work” and consider how Swedish prosecutors in interviews make and communicatively realize (i.e. “make real”) its claims.
