This parametric study shows that thermal radiation from particles, fly ash and char, can be highly relevant for estimating the radiative heat flux to surfaces in grate fired furnaces, especially to the hot bed. The large effects of particle radiative heat transfer come from cases with municipal solid waste (MSW) as fuel whereas biomass cases have moderate effect on the overall:radiative heat trans

In Japan, education has often been used by the government as a means of introducing social changes, due to its high policy implementability. The Japanese law school system is a good example to illustrate Japanese universities' high policy implementability because it was introduced when Japan needs numerous talented lawyers to operate a rule-of-law society. The idea of introducing a law school syst

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras en analys av den svenska rösträttsrörelsens diskursgemenskap mellan åren 1887 och 1902. Studien fokuserar huvudsakligen på rörelsens kärna; Sveriges allmänna rösträttsförbund. Denna organisation, ledd av en överstyrelse och ett verkställande utskott i Stockholm, fungerade som rörelsens nationella ramverk under perioden 1890-1900. TraditionelltThe People, the Axe and the Root of Injustice: the Swedish Suffrage Movement's Discourse Community 1887?1902, its Production of Meaning and the Concept of Democracy In this thesis, I present a study of the Swedish suffrage movement's discourse community. The analyses focus primarily on the core of this movement, the Swedish Public Suffrage Association (Sveriges allmänna rösträttsförbund). This as

This paper presents an efficient programmable engine that supports diverse interpolation algorithm in different video coding standards, such as H.264/AVC, and the Chinese national standard, AVS. It is a VLIW(very long instruction word) and SIMD(single instruction multiple data) hybrid architecture which could issue four ALU operations and one memory reference or a branch operation in every clock c

We investigated lip and tongue movements of diphthongisation of /uː/ in the Malmöhus dia- lect, which is spoken in the very south of Swe- den. Articulographic and acoustic data of ten native speakers were collected and analysed. Acoustic analysis revealed fairly stable F1 and F3, but a considerable F2 movement through- out the diphthongisation, indicating that /uː/ is realised dynamically. Articul

When constructivism gives up reality as a way of accounting for representations it looses a powerful tool of explanation. Why do we have the representations we have? How are they interrelated? This article attempts to investigate what possible means a constructivistic theory has to maintain the distinction between representations and experience, between memory and imagination, and between correct

Begreppet ”implicit religion” infördes i den religionssociologiska debatten 1969 av den brittiske religionsvetaren Edward I Bailey för att definiera innebörden av religion och religiositet i det sekulära västerlandet, och särskilt i Storbritannien. Han preciserade begreppet närmare genom tre nyckelbegrepp: förpliktelse (commitment), integrerande fokuseringar (integrating foci) och intensivt engage

Från det vi föds är vi inställda på att lära. Vi iakttar människorna som omger oss och gör som de; vi lär oss tala, samspela, kommunicera. Vi lär genom att imitera. Drivkraften att lära genom efterbildning är något vi använder i retorikundervisningen; våra studenter utvecklar sina egna färdigheter i tal, skrift, läsning och lyssning genom att studera goda exempel och efterbilda dem. Principen kall

The message conveyed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is clear: the global climate crisis has arrived (e.g., IPCC, 2007, 2014). It is commonly understood that responding to this crisis requires coordinated actions at a global level (Weischer et al., 2012, p. 117; Kulovesi, 2012, p. 193). Attempts to slow down the increase in global temperature, as well as to organize and exc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer är samlingsnamnet på långa molekylkedjor. Runt omkring oss i vårt dagliga liv är vi omgärdade av polymerer så som plaster, lim, fibrer och proteiner. Utvecklingen av många högteknologiska produkter är starkt beroende av polymera material. Grundläggande kunskaper om dem och deras egenskaper är därför viktigt. I ett batteri kan många fördelar erhållas då den koThere is a growing need for multifunctional polymeric materials for the development of several important energy conversion technologies. For example, the polymer electrolyte is a key component in lithium polymer batteries. The basic functions of this electrolyte are to efficiently conduct the lithium ions and physically separate the electrodes. Consequently, these electrolytes should ideally posse

This chapter describes the purification of rat liver plasma membranes by affinity partitioning in an aqueous polymer two-phase system using the lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) as affinity ligand. Affinity partitioning is advantageous for conventional membrane fractionation techniques in being highly selective, allowing the rapid and high-yield purification of membranes. In addition, the aqueous
