Most state-of-the-art natural gas fired combined cycle (NGCC) plants are triple-pressure reheat cycles with efficiencies close to 60 percent. However, with carbon capture and storage, the efficiency will be penalized by almost 10 percent units. To limit the energy consumption for a carbon capture NGCC plant, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is necessary. Utilizing EGR increases the CO2 content in t

Olika användningar av begreppet paradigm beskrivs: Föredömliga experiment, argumentationsstrategier, inflytelserika teorier, betydelsefulla arbeten, respektive ett system av förutsättningar eller utgångspunkter. Kuhns betydelse för den nutida användningen av begreppet paradigm markeras. Han använde det för att uttrycka en viss grad av relativism och icke-rationalitet i förståelsen av vetenskapligt

This chapter uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to conceptualise changes that have occurred in the urban development in the Swedish city of Malmö. The concepts of CDA and its philosophical foundations in Critical Realism are discussed, and linked with the methodology of dialectics. The two texts Västra Hamnen – City of Tomorrow (the Western Harbour – City of Tomorrow) and Områdesfakta för Malm

The aim of this thesis was to study the chemical communication involved in aggressive and reproductive behaviours in the European lobster (Homarus gammarus). Both male and female H. gammarus established and maintained dominance, but the sexes used different strategies for dominance maintenance. Male losers recognised individual fight opponents and avoided them but fought actively against unfamili

In this paper it is shown that the central features of systematic engineering design process models: a step-by-step concretisation of the product with a systematic variation of subsolutions and recombination are not absolutely necessary. Current models are neither generic nor ideal. Instead of using product characteristics as a basis for design process models, the focus should be on the concrete g

The Social Work Virtual Campus (SW-VirCamp) is an Internet based international pedagogical pilot project aiming at 1) developing a virtual campus for social work education; 2) developing a new e-learning module in Community Work and Community Development; 3) arranging a pilot course in the mentioned subjects. The project is financed by the EU Comission within the Lifelong learning ERASMUS program.

With inspiration from the Arabic ḥāl-concept the book in which this chapter is included investigates circumstantial clauses in Arabic and Hebrew. It formulates a modern linguistic definition of the concept of ‘circumstantial qualifier’ and offers corpus-based pilot studies on circumstantial qualifiers in Pre-classical and Classical Arabic, Pre-exilic Hebrew, Modern literary Arabic and Modern spoke

This paper studies the effects of stochastic time delays on automatic control systems which uses communication networks. We assume a linear process to be controlled and known delay probability distributions.The contribution of this paper is to extend the theory in(Nilsson 1998) to delays that may be longer than one sample period.Using a quadratic cost we find the optimal full-state-information con

Critical infrastructures provide society with services that are essential for its functioning and extensive disruptions of these give rise to large societal consequences. Vulnerability analysis gives important decision information concerning improving their ability to withstand strains. To analyze vulnerabilities in infrastructures models for estimating consequences due to failures are needed. Con
