Complex product form generation methods have rarely been used within the field of industrial design. The difficulty in their use is mainly linked to constraints – such as functionality, production and cost – that apply to most products. By cou-pling a mathematically described morphology to an optimisation system, it may be possible to generate a complex product form, compliant with engineering and

The metabolic syndrome includes a cluster of dysfunctions that identifies subjects at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome has increased markedly over the last two decades. Central to this syndrome is insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, but also other manifestations, e.g. central obesity, dyslipidaemia, elevated blood press

Within the framework of the European project, PROSPER, field experiments with ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) were carried out in Hungary and Spain. Twenty vehicles in each country were equipped with two kinds of ISA systems: 1) warning via an active accelerator pedal and 2) warning via beep signals and flashing red light when exceeding the speed limit. Both systems are based on a GPS receiver

This volume contains a comprehensive evaluation of the hypthesis that the Gospel of Mark has been influenced by the theology of the apostle Paul. It discusses the history of this view from the nineteenth Century to the modern day, analyses possible historical Connections between the apostle and the evangelist, and compares and contrasts many major theological themes in both the epistles and the Go

Popular Abstract in Swedish Asynkronmotorn är den mest använda elektriska motorn i industriella tillämpningar. För att effektivt kunna varvtalsreglera asynkronmotorn har varvtalet hittills behövt mätas. Den extrautrustning som krävs för varvtalsmätning är dyr och komplicerad. Avhandlingen presenterar en metod som beräknar, eller upskattar varvtalet, istället för att mäta det. För att beräkna varvtThis work focuses on observers estimating flux linkage and speed for induction machines, mainly in the low speed region. With speed estimation, sensorless control is possible, meaning that the speed of induction machines without mechanical speed sensors can be controlled. The observer based sensorless drive system has superior dynamic performance compared to a system with an open loop frequency in

The catalytic properties and the inter-domain electron transfer of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from the ascomycete fungus Myriococcum thermophilum adsorbed on graphite and thiol (SAM) modified gold electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, flow injection amperometry and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry. The fabrication and characterisation of a noncompartmentalised, mediator and cofa

Boken är en rapport från en konferens på Kreta september 2002. I inledningsanförandet introducerar jag några i den moderna västliga diskussionen vanliga uppfattningar av betydelse för relationen mellan naturvetenskap och religion, bland andra panenteism och kritisk realism. Två exempel illustrerar frågor som berör relationen mellan bioteknologi och kristen antropologi: Möjligheten att med hjälp av
