A number of rheological models of drying wood have been presented during the last ten years. At the material point level, most models show high accuracy. The models in themselves, however, have no value unless used for improving wood drying, technique, quality, etc. To achieve this, they have to be implemented in applicable programs/ methods. In this article, the implementation of a material model

This paper investigates the often ambivalent assessment of the landscapes that have been shaped by Swedish modernity and the welfare policy. This ambivalence could be noticed in different medias, I would argue, for instance in art, photography and novels. In Lefebvrian terms I think you could identify an ongoing negotiation between the modern welfare state’s conceptualization of space and the live

A 10 GHz beam forming transmitter was designed in a 90 nm and a 130 nm CMOS process. Two power amplifers with independently controllable phase enable the beam forming. The controllable phase is accomplished by switching in binary weighted transistors fed by quadrature signals, which are generated by a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator followed by a buffer. The designs contain seven differen

This paper investigates the use of corpora, with a specific focus on concordances,in teaching and learning as a foreign language in classrooms in Vietnam. Students who used concordances obtained more correct answers than those who did not, and they could develop activeness in exploring words structures and grammatical rules.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I magtarmkanalen upptas ständigt nyttiga näringsämnen, men samtidigt avvisas skadliga bakterier, gifter och allergiframkallande ämnen. I avhandling beskrivs hur tarmens normala barriärfunktion hos råtta och gris kan förändras på konstgjord väg. I delarbete I har det normala flödet av enzymer från bukspottkörteln till tunntarmen stoppats för att studera dessa enzymers bThe gastrointestinal tract has two opposing functions; to absorb nutrients and electrolytes, and to act as a barrier towards hazardous and non-nutritional substances. In the present thesis the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract was studied in animal models in vivo, in situ and in vitro. Experimentally induced disorders of the intestinal barriers were evaluated in terms of altered inte

This thesis describes the relations between objects, practices, and individuals. The main objective is to explore the role of artefacts in user-centred participatory design research, specifically for expressing and communicating personal experiences and creating meaning. In a broad sense I draw on experiences from three practices in order to define the scope of the thesis. The first is practice-le
