Most of the common modeling approaches to premixed combustion in engineering applications are either based on the assumption of infinitely fast chemistry or the flamelet assumption with simple chemistry. The level-set flamelet library approach (FLA) has shown great potential in predicting major species and heat release, as well as intermediate and minor species, where more simple models often fail

The most commonly used method to measure telomerase activity in cells is the telomerase reverse amplification protocol (TRAP) assay, where the protein extracts derived from homogenized cells are analysed. In this thesis we focused on developing a method where telomerase activity co

This dissertation examines the characteristics of Iranian nationalist discourse between the World Wars. By looking at texts of intellectuals, men and women, published in three journals (Iranshahr, Name-ye Farangestan, and Ayandeh) in the 1920s this study maps the content of nationalist discourse and to what extent this discourse allows for dissonance. Informed by the work of Reinhart Koselleck (co

In the last years there has been an increasing interest among scholars in what is typically Swedish and what is characteristic for a Swede. A typical question would be: what constitutes a Swede? There are various reasons for this growing interest. One of them is the increasing, permanent and progressively more marked appearance of immigrants in Sweden. In this text I will discuss the concepts ethn

This article deals with application of a pre-chamber type ignition device in a heavy duty engine operated with natural gas. A particular pre-chamber ignition strategy called Avalanche Activated Combustion (originally ’Lavinia Aktyvatsia Gorenia’ in Russian), commonly referred to as LAG-ignition process, has been studied by performing a parametric study of various pre- and main chamber mixture stre

Realist arguments are a combination of two discrete, though often intersecting, literatures. The first emerging from the works of classical realists such as Thucydides and Machiavelli, and the second spreading across the history of Western philosophy. One of the most significant aspects of realism is its use of historical evidence, as if one can detect a timeless wisdom of world politics centred u

This account of genocide in the twentieth century contains a) a description of cases, b) an interpretation of different mechanisms of genocide and c) a comparative analysis of genocides as a historical phenomenon in the modern era. The text is divided into sections that are interrelated. The introduction gives a general background to the concept, describes the Genocide Convention and defines the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska Muskelvävnad är specialiserad på att förkorta sig och utveckla kraft. Glatt muskulatur finns i blodkärlens väggar, i urinvägarna, i luftvägarna samt i mag-tarmkanalen, och är viktig för dessa organs funktion. Namnet "glatt" (smooth) härrör från muskulaturens utseende i mikroskop. Den glatta muskulaturen ser slät ut, i motsats till det "randiga"Smooth muscle is characterised by high tension economy, low shortening velocity and regulation mainly by myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation. The aim of this study was to investigate regulation of force and maximal shortening velocity (Vmax) in smooth muscle. In intact muscle, activated with depolarisation, inhibition of force and rise in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) by 2,3-butanedione mono
