Global competition forces companies to constantly increase the efficiency in their production systems. One important factor affecting the production performance is the inbound materials handling system. When designing or relocating a manufacturing system, the cost of the material handling system is one of many things to take into consideration. In connection with on-going research a comprehensive

The paper deals with durability of Self-Compacting Concrete with limestone filler during Thaumasite Sulphate Attack. For this purpose six concrete with varying amounts of limestone filler, particle size of limestone filler, pressure height during casting and mixing order were studied. One normal concrete (without limestone filler) with vibrator compaction was studied in parallel. In the ongoing ex

This book discusses the concept of a queer feminism, a possible negotiation between queer theory and feminism.

The article investigates translation culture in the Swedish dominion Swedish Pomerania during the eighteenth century, with a particular focus on periodicals.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I solens inre finns ett område där het, joniserad och mycket turbulent gas alstrar stora elektriska strömmar. Dessa strömmar genererar i sin tur ett starkt magnetfält som stiger upp till solens yta, fotosfären. I fotosfären uppstår en del intressanta magnetiska fenomen som till exempel solfläckar. Solfläckar är relativt svala områden som skapas då magnetfält hindrar denA solar magnetic field is continuously being created in the solar interior. As the field evolves outward through the solar atmosphere and into the enveloping heliosphere, it causes effects on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. By studying and measuring these magnetic effects we gain extensive knowledge about solar magnetism and it also allows us to model and predict how solar activity is

It is contended in this thesis that the introduction of a legal regime with a rateless structure, subject only to market forces and a rebuttable statutory presumption as to where the rate line of conscience should be drawn, can provide a solution if the rate charged by pawnbrokers is to be regulated. The thesis also shows that a uniform pawn ticket issued as a negotiable document of title, and tra

Exoplanets have been observed at many stages of their host star's life, including the main-sequence (MS), subgiant and red giant branch stages. Also, polluted white dwarfs (WDs) likely represent dynamically active systems at late times. Here, we perform three-body simulations which include realistic post-MS stellar mass-loss and span the entire lifetime of exosystems with two massive planets, from

Kapitlet redogör för forskningen om coping och hur coping verkar i sammanhang där individerna använder religion i processen.

Are people strategically ignorant of the negative externalities their activities cause the environment? Herein we examine if people avoid costless information on those externalities and use ignorance as an excuse to reduce pro-environmental behavior. We develop a theoretical framework in which people feel internal pressure (“guilt”) from causing harm to the environment (e.g., emitting carbon dioxi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammatoriska ledsjukdomar, innefattande bl.a. ledgångsreumatism, reumatoid artrit, och ledinflammation vid psoriasis, psoriasisartrit, är vanliga. I västvärlden lider cirka 1 procent av den vuxna befolkningen av reumatoid artrit (RA) medan psoriasisartrit (PsoA) är mindre vanlig. Ett kännetecken för dessa sjukdomar är att de medför en risk att ledernas vävnader brytsThe pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritides include synovial inflammation and joint tissue destruction. Tissue destruction has traditionally been regarded a consequence of inflammation, but recent observations indicate that the processes are not always closely linked and may proceed uncoupled. The ultimate target organs for the destructive process are articular cartilage and bone. This thesis f
