Purpose - The purpose of the paper is to evaluate theoretically and experimentally the static and dynamic characteristics of a single-phase claw-pole motor using soft magnetic composite (SMC) for the stator core. Design/methodology/approach - On the basis of the static characteristics, which are measured and obtained from a series of 3D FE magnetostatic solutions, the dynamic characteristics are s
Software architecture, the underlying structure to a software system, is an asset which can be invested in. Such investments can later be capitalized on in the form of e.g. increased flexibility and enhanced maintainability. These benefits may be gained in a system developed in one project, but are much more visible in a strategic perspective when several projects share resources. Architectural de
Most III-V compound semiconductor nanowires seeded by metal particles grow preferentially in a (over bar 1 over bar 1 over bar 1)B direction (B wires) and most commonly with many stacking faults perpendicular to the growth direction. If growth proceeds in an alternate direction, defect-free growth has been observed. We present experimental results for the growth of GaAs nanowires in a previously u
PbO and PbO- were studied utilizing CCSD(T), CASSCF/CASPT2, and the Fock Space FSCCSD methods. Relativistic effects were treated by the spin-free, two-component infinite-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess, Dirac-Coulomb and the restricted active space state interaction RASSI-SO methods. Our adiabatic electron affinity (EA), 0.696 eV, agrees favorably with experiment (0.714 eV). Theoretical dissociation ener
Ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) is activated by an array of mitogenic stimuli and is a key player in the regulation of cell growth. The activation process of S6 kinase involves a complex and sequential series of multiple Ser/Thr phosphorylations and is mainly mediated via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) and mTor-dependent pathways. Upstre
A variational formulation is used to calculate the sound absorption in order to incorporate the interaction between several absorbing patches of arbitrary shape. In particular, this formulation is applied to small periodic patches. The absorption characteristics are governed by the radiation impedance, Z(r), which is a function of the absorber's geometry and the incidence angle, together with the
The stochastic behavior of FM-clicks in an unmodulated carrier plus noise is studied in terms of the conditional behavior of stationary Gaussian processes after level crossings. By a systematic use of thc Slepian model processes it is shown that the normalized shape of a positive FM-click approaches a certain rational function with simple random coefficients as the carrier-to-noise ratio tends to
Nuclear knockout reactions at relativistic energies provide a sensitive tool to determine the ground state properties of nuclei close to the drip line. Studies with kinematically complete measurements reveal the initial correlations in the reacting systems and yield spectroscopic information on the continuum states populated in the decay channel. The coincident data of charged fragments and neutro
Parkinson's disease is a devastating neurological condition that affects at least four million people. A striking feature of this disorder is the preferential loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the midbrain. Several aetiological triggers have been linked to Parkinson's disease, including genetic mutations and environmental toxins, but the pathway that leads to cell death is unknown. Recent deve
Software inspection is an effective method to detect faults in software artefacts. Several empirical studies have been performed on reading techniques, which are used in the individual preparation phase of software inspections. Besides new experiments, replications are needed to increase the body of knowledge in software inspections. This paper presents a replication of an experiment, which compar
Self-desiccation occurs in all types of concrete due to the chemical shrinkage that takes place when water is attached to the cement. In High Performance Concrete the low porosity makes the effect of self-desiccation much more pronounced. This paper presents a summary of a Nordic Seminar on Self-Desiccation in Concrete held in Lund. For this purpose aspects of mix design, curing conditions, desicc
The title compounds, chlorotris(dimethyl sulfide-kappaS)platinum(II) hexafluorophosphate, [PtCl(C2H6S)3]PF6, and bromotris(dimethyl sulfide-kappaS)platinum(II) hexafluorophosphate, [PtBr(C2H6S)3]PF6, are isomorphous and are composed of [PtX(dms)3]+ complex cations (X = Cl and Br, and dms is dimethyl sulfide) and PF6- anions. The Pt atom is coordinated by three S atoms and one X atom in
In a search for new fungal compounds inducing apoptosis of the colon cancer derived cell line COLO-320, hormonemate (1) was purified from fermentations of an endophytic fungus isolated from living needles of a Pinus species. The producing strain was identified as Hormonema dematioides by microscopy and ITS rDNA sequence analysis. The structure of hormonemate was determined by spectroscopic methods

The steam pressure control loops in the drying section of a paper machine play an important role for the quality of the moisture content control. The steam pressure loops are essential for the effective use of advanced control schemes for the moisture control. From mathematical model building and experiments on industrial paper machines it is found that the dynamics from the steam valves to the st
Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut mellanöreinflammation (akut otitis media, AOM) är en av barnaålderns vanligaste sjukdomare och en av dem som oftast föranleder antibiotikabehandling. De flesta barn får bara någon enstaka AOM, men cirka 5% av dem som insjuknar drabbas sedan av upprepade infektioner (s.k. otit-benägna barn) och blir till ett problem både för patienten, dennes familj och samhället. DAcute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common childhood diseases and the most common causes of antibiotic treatment in small children. Most children will experience one or two episodes of AOM during preschool age but some will suffer from repeated attacks, they will become otitis-prone. Complications with severe, sometimes fatal infections such as acute mastoiditis and meningitis are nowadays

Long term evaluation of an asymmetric CPC PV-thermal hybrid built for high latitudes, MaReCo (MaximumReflectorCollector), is performed in Lund, lat 55.7o, and this paper discusses output estimates and characteristics of the system. The output estimates are calculated using the MINSUN simulation program. To get the input for MINSUN, measurements were performed on two MaReCo prototypes. These measur
