Popular Abstract in Swedish Även om vi i dagens samhälle försöker minska vårt beroende av förbränningsprocesser är förbränning fortfarande vår största energikälla och förväntas så förbli under en lång tid. Därför är det viktigt att effektivisera förbränningsprocesserna för att maximera den energi som utvinns medan utsläppen samtidigt minimeras. En av de oönskade biprodukterna vid förbränning är soThis work has been aimed at developing and applying laser-induced incandescence (LII) for flame soot characterization. The basic principle of LII is rapid heating of the soot particles to temperatures of 3500-4000 K by short laser pulses. Thereby the intensity of the soot incandescence is increased. By detection of this increased incandescence and analysis of the detected signal, the volume fracti

This article discusses queer feminist politics in relation to leftist politics, and argues against the neoliberal co-optation of radical leftist political notions.

OBJECTIVE: To study dust exposure and inflammatory reactions in the respiratory tract among coffee curing workers in Tanzania. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a Tanzanian coffee curing factory. Coffee workers (n = 15) were compared with unexposed controls (n = 18); all workers were nonsmokers. Exhaled nitric oxide was examined using an electrochemistry-based NIOX MINO device. P

A methodology for evaluating and comparing control strategies for wastewater treatment plants was developed. The basic setup of the benchmark is described and the dynamic input data for performing the simulations are outlined. Initial results using different simulation platforms (Fortran code, Matlab/Simulink and GPS-X) are presented.

An experimental setup for objective measurements of high impedance objects in ducts, yielding the acoustical two-port properties of the object, is presented. The setup has been applied on earplugs. A frequently used experimental setup for measuring objective acoustical properties of earplugs is that of artificial ears. Great effort is spent duplicating the outer ear of a person. The insertion loss

This paper will continue on the topics presented in previous numbers of Ancient Planet (2012/2; 2012/3) by giving an updated account of the ongoing survey work at Gebel el Silsila in Egypt. However, while previous articles have concerned Graeco-Roman quarry marks and their various meanings, the aim here is to draw attention to the site’s Prehistoric Periods with especial focus on the pictorial rep

Between February 1999 and July 2000, a team of researchers from Britain, Denmark, France, and Sweden carried out a telephone survey, background investigations, and six expert seminars in Central and Eastern Europe, with the purpose of exploring the consequences and implications of the spread of ISO 14001 and EMAS in this region. The telephone survey, carried out during the summer of 1999, targeted

This review article sums up the key points in the 2011 book on Christian anarchism by Alexandre Christoyannopoulos. His innovative project here was to draw from a long lineage of Christian anarchist thinker in order to weave together a generic theory of Christian anarchism wherein pacifist anarchism is regarded to be the logical political consequence derived from the teachings of Jesus.

A speaker who issues a confirming turn starting with particles like yes, oui, ja, and so on, may mean to extend it and provide further material. This study shows that French and German speakers employ the same phonetic contrast to indicate the nature of that turn continuation. In spite of the typological difference between the German use of glottalization and the French use of linking phenomena fo

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Patients with uncharacteristic inflammatory symptoms such as long-standing fatigue or pain, or a prolonged fever, constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of the present study was to determine if an extended immunophenotyping of lymphocytes and monocytes including activation markers can define disease-specific patterns, and thus provide valuable diagnostic i

In the end of the 1990ths came alarming reports that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) could cause autism. The discovery about the connection was told in mass media all over the world and in Europe the vaccination frequency decreased with several percent. In some areas less than 90% of the children were vaccinated, a limit that calls “herd immunity”. In interviews with parents,
