En komplettering av det nuvarande kunskapsunderlaget for träets termiska egenskaper bör i första hand fokuseras mot värmeledningförmågan och specifika värmekapaciteten för dels förkolnat trä , dels oförkolnat trä inom temperaturområdet over 100 ºC. Angelägen är också en vidareutveckl- av de samband, som krävs for en beräkning av träets reaktionsvärme vid verkliga brandförhållanden med utgångspunkt

An introduction to a descriptive grammar. Various forms of grammar. various forms of Swedish. Historical background. The grammar is only one aspect of language. Various parts of grammar. Structure and meaning.

The picture is as original a human creation as language, and yet there has not been any study of pictures as such until recently. In the sixties of the last century, the picture was discovered as a subject of study at the same time, but independently, by French structuralism and by perceptual psychology in the tradition of James Gibson. My own contribution has consisted, from the beginning, in bri

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic is constantly gaining market shares due to its unique properties. By heating this kind of materials using induction, many new applications occur. The high resistivity and anisotropic properties of carbon fiber composites means there are a number of challenges to overcome. This work emphasizes the key components related to induction heating of complex materials and p

The essay aims to identify the genesis of the first dramatic protagonists Mihail Sebastian imagined, both the autobiographical and the literary earlier experiences and expressions of his playwriting philosophy of the evasion, a philosophy that is to be regarded as a prototype for his future drama. For this a rather exhaustive synthesis of the critical references is required as well as a minute her

A survey and analysis of the field of catalogues of imaginary libraries and of imaginary books, from ideal universal or selected collections (Gesner, Formey), over false catalogues of existing libraries (Rabelais) to sheer fantasies: lists of parodic and scurrilous titles or bibliophilic treasures (Fortsas).

The purpose of this paper is two fold. Firstly, to inform the Australian software engineering community of the European Fifth Framework research structure and the involvement of an Australian partner in a fifth framework project, CORONET. Secondly to describe the CORONET project. CORONET develops a new approach for software engineering training in knowledge networks. CORONET aims to support on dem

We screened 150 olfactory sensilla in single-sensillum recordings to unravel the mechanisms underlying host selection in the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Odor stimuli comprised of pheromone (various bark beetle spp.), host, and non-host compounds elicited strong and selective responses from 106 olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), 45 of which were tune

Christian theology is in favour of interreligious dialogue without proselytism. At the same time, all religious institutions do seem to have a drive to convert those who are not already inside. Hence there is a tension. Redefine the terms seems insufficient to me. The question to deal with is rather when, how, and why is conversion allowed or even praised even though the character of dialogue with

Background: Psoriasis is one of the most frequent skin diseases world-wide. The disease impacts enormously on affected patients and poses a huge financial burden on health care providers. Several lines of evidence suggest that the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator activator (PPAR) beta/delta, known to regulate epithelial differentiation and wound healing, contributes to psoriasis pa
