It’s unfortunate to note that many Chinese young people prefer beer/red wine rather than our own wines because they think it is out of date, from the wine packaging to drinking utensils. I use five main methods for the research: history reviewing/ interview/ field trip/ mind-mapping/ gesture video. Findings sho

Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu

I olika delar av Sydamerika sprider myggarten Aedes aegypti bland annat denguefeber och artens utbredning i området har länge studerats av en särskild arbetsgrupp på Buenos Aires universitet. Idag finns det många metoder för att förhindra spridningen av mygg. Tyvärr innebär de flesta stora problem - Aedes aegypti is the well-spread main vector of dengue and other viral diseases and in means of mosquito control, it is important to understand adaptation and variability within the species. This study has considered eggs of Ae. aegypti from two close regions in the area of Buenos Aires. The aim was to increase understanding in environmental and genetic characteristics in food intake.
