In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled
Model Predictive control (MPC) has been studied extensively because of its ability to handle constraints and its great properties in terms of stability and performance [Mayne et al., 2000]. We have in this thesis focused on MPC of Hybrid Systems, i.e. systems with both continuous and discrete dynamics. More specifically, we look at problems that can be cast as Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (
Introduktion Simuleringsmetoder är något som numera förekommer i en mängd olika sammanhang. De förekommer i olika former vid produktutveckling i industrin samt för att t ex studera komplexa system inom vetenskapen. Utöver detta förekommer det även i spel-och filmindustrin. I det stora hela handlar det om att skapa en förenklad dator-representation av verkligheten, så att man kan studera vissa föIn this thesis, an implementation of inline integration is described and examined. Inline integration is a mixed symbolic and numerical method for simulating fully implicit ordinary differential equations (DAE:s) whereby discretizations are introduced symbolically at model level. A generalized solution to the discretized model containing tailored iterative solving schemes and symbolic solutions is
Freezing is a method used to preserve food for long periods of time by reducing the rate of naturally occurring reactions and growth of microorganisms. However, some irreversible quality changes, both physical and chemical, can take place during the freezing step. After being frozen, the products are stored until thawed and consumed. This thesis studies innovative freezing technologies to understa
Examensarbete vittnar om bättre tider för njursjuka För få utförda kontroller av vattenkvalitet kan medföra livshotande tillstånd för njursjuka dialyspatienter. Ny teknik kan öka provtagningsfrekvensen och höja säkerheten. Den konstgjorda njuren Dialys är en behandling som syftar till att ersätta njurarnas funktion; att rena blodet från gifter och överflödig vätska. Vid hemodialys, även kallad bRenal diseases are an increasing problem worldwide and when kidney transplantation is not possible, dialysis treatment is the solution. An increasing number of patients choose to perform their dialysis treatment at home by implementing the dialysis machine and a water purification system in current electric and water supply, so called home hemodialysis. The quality of the water used for the prepar
Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa den sakrättsliga problematiken kring lösöreköp genom att undersöka huruvida avtalsprincipen är förenad med tillräckligt stora fördelar för att ersätta den nu gällande traditionsprincipen. Traditionsprincipen har tillämpats i svensk rätt sedan 1800-talet. Dessförinnan erhöll en köpare skydd mot säljarens borgenärer genom köpeavtalet, i enlighet med avtaThe purpose of this essay is to throw light upon the complexity of the branch of law as regards the Swedish law of property and inquire whether the advantages of the doctrine of consensus exceed the benefits of maintaining the existing doctrine of traditio. The doctrine of traditio has existed in Swedish law since the 19th century. Before that, the buyer obtained protection against the seller’s cr
The economic potential of East Germany still severely lags behind that of the West. A scarcity of urban agglomerations is associated with this disparity. The origins of this disparity are insufficiently explored with regards to the spatial inequalities of urban growth induced by the two major shocks of central planning and reunification. By creating long-term time series for city growth and popula
This Master Thesis proposes to use a Spatial Hawkes Process to model the news flow in the world. The spatial part is divided in both geographical areas as well as different topics. Therefore, in the Hawkes model every news article corresponds to a point in space and time. In a certain region and topic the intensity of the released articles will be modelled with the Hawkes Process. This can be of i
This is a narrative study about being in a relationship with a child cancer survivor. Previous research in the field of partnership and cancer has focused on experiences of being a partner to a person who is currently in cancer treatment. There is a lack of knowledge regarding partnership to a person who has gone through a cancer treatment prior to being in the relationship. More children who are
Den traditionella synen i fordringsmål är att den borgenär som kräver betalning på grund av påstådd försträckning måste styrka att denne har en fordran mot utpekad gäldenär. Denna utgångspunkt slogs fast i Högsta domstolens dom NJA 1975 s. 577 och har sedan dess varit huvudregeln i fordringsmål. I samband med 1975 års avgörande lanserades en särskild presumtionsregel. Högsta domstolen menade att dThe traditional view in Swedish law is that a creditor who demands payment from a debtor based on an alleged loan must prove that a loan agreement has been concluded between the parties. This general rule was established by the Supreme Court of Sweden in case NJA 1975 p. 577 and has ever since been the principle. In connection with the 1975 decision, the Supreme Court launched a special presumptio
Den diplomatiska immuniteten har spelat en viktig roll inom den internationella rätten och det diplomatiska arbetet i världen under en mycket lång tid. Principen om beskickningslokalers okränkbarhet regleras i artikel 22 i Wienkonventionen om diplomatiska förbindelser och är enligt sin ordalydelse absolut. Bestämmelsen innebär att mottagarstaten är förbjuden att beträda lokalen utan beskickningschThe role of diplomatic immunity within international law is one of great importance. The principle of inviolability of mission premises is governed by Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and is in its wording absolute. The provision states that a recipient state is prohibited from entering the premises without the consent of the head of the mission. At the same time, the re
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience with patients affected by ovarian carcinosarcoma. Patients and Methods: During a 16-year period, data on 13 patients with ovarian carcinosarcoma were collected. They were obtained from hospital charts and follow-up visits. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. All tests were t
Arbitration as a dispute settlement mean is widely used in the disputes on a carriage of goods by sea. As world trade of goods is mainly based on the carriage by sea services, the predictability and certainty regarding to the arbitration of shipping disputes is very important. The fundamental question is an existence of a valid arbitration agreement and accordingly whether or not there is a duty t
Background: – Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is rare in children, and results in kidney failure in up to one third of cases. There is very limited knowledge on kidney transplantation in childhood-onset AAV. We assessed kidney transplantation outcomes and prognostic factors in a multicentre cohort of patients with childhood-onset AAV.Methods: – Patients diag
Macrophages (m phi) are essential for intestinal homeostasis and the pathology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but it is unclear whether discrete m phi populations carry out these distinct functions or if resident m phi change during inflammation. We show here that most resident m phi in resting mouse colon express very high levels of CX3CR1, are avidly phagocytic and MHCII hi, but are resist
There is a general lack of rapid, sensitive, and quantitative methods for the detection of differentiating human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry, we observed that morphological changes of differentiating hESCs precede any major alterations in the expression of several commonly used hESC markers (SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, Oct-4, and Nanog). In

The present paper discusses the process of young immigrant integration from the point of view of policymakers. The focus in narrowed to application of multiculturalism in pre-primary, primary and secondary education strategies as a tool for integration. Interpretation of multiculturalism is compared in two countries – Germany and Sweden and on two levels – national and supranational. The paper is
