Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen omfattar tillverkning av metallmatris kompositer, MMC, baserade främst på aluminium legeringar. Nya metoder är utvecklade och undersökta där infiltrationen av fiberstrukturer av aluminiumoxid är stimulerad av mekaniska vågor vid frekvenser upp till 7 kHz. Vågrörelserna är genererade med nyutvecklad hög-magnetostriktiv aktuatorteknik. Målet med studierna harThe implementation of highly magnetostrictive wave-actuator techniques in preform infiltration processes for metal-matrix composite production is described. Metal matrix materials require additional methods to handle the content, shape and position of the ceramic reinforcements, which are not required for metal alloy casting. Commercial fabrication of advanced metal matrix composite products has

Berättelsen om den helige Eugendus ingår som tredje delen i samlingen Vitae Patrum Jurensium - jurafädernas liv - författad av en anonym munk år 520. Den berättar om grundarna av de första klostren i Jurabergen (i östra Frankrike) under slutet av 400-talet: Romanus, Lupicinus och Eugendus. Berättelsen är okonstlad och ger en unik inblick i formandet av en västerländsk klostertradition annorlunda ä

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens forskningsfrågor är: ”Vad är det som har möjliggjort att det talas om sjuka som kunder, hur har en sådan förskjutning av föreställningen om den sjuke skett och vad medför en sådan förskjutning?” Marknadstänkandet har successivt introducerats inom sjukvården under de sista decennierna av 1900-talet. Marknadstänkandet försöker ersätta tidigare förvaltnings-Marketization of society has gradually transformed health care at the end of the 20th century. The conditions of possibility for this transformation have been the social impact of the market discourse and the discourse on patient rights. These discourses brought about a displacement of the discursive order in health care. One effect of this discursive break was that the view of the sick person was

Commentary to the animation "Kinetic Silence" by Magdolna Szabó, in connection with her exhibition at Ystads Konstmuseum (Ystad Art Museum) February 2010.

Fabrication and characterisation of buried metal contacts in compound semiconductors are demonstrated. The contacts have been investigated due to their usage both as gates in transistors and as active or passive elements in novel devices. A detailed description of the processing conditions for fabrication of nm-sized W-structures in a lift-off process is given. These structures have been embedded

Delamination and spallation of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, used in hot parts of gas turbines, have been studied with respect to thermal fatigue. TBCs with and without pre-existing cracks were investigated. Thermal shock tests were performed until coating spallation. The experimental results revealed that the cracks primarily responsible for spallation grew horizontally, close to the int

A number of approaches for fungicide determination are presented. A surface sampling technique is utilised for the determination of fungicide foliar residues on greenhouse surfaces, mainly leaves. The procedure is based on solvation of the fungicides on the leaf surface with ethanol and HPLC analysis. It was applied to studies of the environment in greenhouses including investigations of decline r
