The presence of grain boundaries in the microstructure of metallic materials has a major influence on the material behavior and not least on macroscopic material properties. The grain boundaries pose obstacles to slip deformation by preventing dislocation motion, resulting in localized dislocation storage and heterogeneous deformation fields within the grains. In the present contribution, the deve
In a large-scale field trial, conducted between 2000 and 2001, the test drivers used the Active Accelerator Pedal for between 6 and 12 months in their regular cars. The drivers’ evaluations, elicited by questionnaires after one month of usage and at the end of the trial, were analysed with ANOVA (repeated-measure) and compared to the objectively measured effects in the same trial. The drivers foun
Within institutional theory of organization, regulative, normative as well as cultural-cognitive elements play a central role when studying patterns of thought and action within and between organizations. In similar way, theory building within sociology of law has devoted vast interest in norms and rules as determinant for human action. To a great extent, the perspectives have nevertheless develop
A minimum variance predictor is developed using pseudocommutation for linear time-varying systems described by an autoregressive moving average model.
This dissertation examines the effects of the three major lexical form-classes in English (nouns, lexical verbs, and adjectives) on lexical infelicity in the English of adult advanced Swedish learners. By lexical infelicity is meant deviations from the native English norm in meaning only. Morphological form is not taken into account. It has previously been established that there are some clear, di
