...access health and welfare services. Service-providers within a range of sectors and services seemed to be reluctant to get involved in situations that imply diagnoses that are unknown to them. Further, they seemed to be reluctant to accept information offered to them by the user and they hesitated...
... Samples oxidized in air, 100 % CO2 and 50% CO2–50% air, showed no difference in total oxidation. The flash anodized samples oxidized in 10% CO2–90% air had approximately half of the mass gain of the rolled samples. Oxidation of anodized samples in pure oxygen and nitrogen showed a drastic decrease in...
... obstacle-aided locomotion (OAL). In order to realistically model and understand this issue we present a mathematical model for wheel-less snake robot OAL on inclined planes. The model is based on the framework of convex analysis and non-smooth dynamics, which facilitates true stick-slip descriptions...
...binding sites. We used time-dependent DFT to study the UV spectroscopy of benzene, ice clusters, and benzene–ice complexes, by employing the M06-2X functional. It is observed that the size of the ice cluster and the dangling features have minor effects on the UV spectral characteristics. Benzene-mediated...
This work has been a combined experimental and numerical modeling effort aimed to help in the understanding of heat transfer processes when melting aluminium. In addition a newly developed type of oxy-fuel burner was investigated. Objectives set for this project include improving energy efficiency in...
The wetting between liquid aluminium and substrates made from industrial Al2O3 and SiC based ceramic foam filters (CFF) has been measured. The wetting experiments show that the SiC based filter material is better wetted by liquid aluminium than the Al2O3 based filter material. The same CFF filters were...
It is commonly acknowledged that the actions and strategies of energy incumbents are important to understand sustainable energy transitions, but few studies have focused on why incumbent firms diversify into emerging sustainable energy sectors. This paper, which is based on a substantial empirical material...
...high adsorption capacity and selectivity to this gas. Fundamental adsorption and diffusion parameters are required for designing a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process with this adsorbent, which are lacking in the literature. In this work, adsorption Henry׳s law constants and reciprocal diffusion time...
Crystal structures of Sr4(Sr2Ta2)O11 and Sr4(Sr1.92Ta2.08)O11.12, synthesized by solid state reaction technique in dry and hydrated state have been studied mainly using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Due to the lesser ability of X-rays to probe details in oxygen sublattice, the change in crystal symmetry...
Internet of Things Connect objects and devices to repositories and networks using simple, and cost effective systems of item identification so data about things can be collected and processed. Ability to detect changes in the physical and environmental status of things, using sensor technologies.Internet...
This paper aims to address the increasing risk of water and flood damages, study regulations of insurance with regard to these damages, and how to strengthen the insurance items to deal with the challenges in a changing climate and dynamic society. Water-related damages are categorised into several types...
