A series of field studies at cold workplaces were initiated. This paper deals with a study at a harbour and the main attention is paid to the thermal responses of the feet and footwear performance. The study was carried out in February. Eight male workers were the subjects. They were selected among volunteers who carried out four different jobs in pairs. The warm winter boots were provided by the
Load balancing is a very important and complex problem in computational grids. A computational grid differs from traditional high-performance computing systems in the heterogeneity of the computing nodes, as well as the communication links that connect the different nodes together. There is a need to develop algorithms that can capture this complexity yet can be easily implemented and used to solv
A simple method is described for a rough classification of soil bacterial populations. The method makes use of a commercially available biochemical test system and the test results are analysed in a multivariate classification program on a microcomputer. The method was used for classification of bacteria from rape rhizosphere.
The objective of this work was to set up lab-scale equipment for production of crisps mimicking industrial conditions. Slices of Saturna potatoes were deep-fat fried for 2-4.5 min at 160 °C. A solid phase extraction method for acrylamide from potato crisps was used, and the extraction recovery was calculated to 95%. Acrylamide was analysed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The
We recently proposed a quantitative group testing (GT) scheme with low-complexity peeling decoding based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Based on finite length simulations and a density evolution analysis we were able to demonstrate that simple (dv,dc)-regular LDPC codes can be more efficient for GT than existing generalized LDPC (GLDPC) code constructions based on BCH component codes. E
This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of various wireless networks for Teleoperated Driving (ToD) applications, focusing on a hoverboard as a test vehicle. The study compares end-To-end delay and jitter across five network setups: A private 5 G network, a wireless LAN, a public LTEA network, and two wireless CANs, based on the service level requirements outlined by the 5G Automotive Assoc
Laser-based diagnostic techniques have been utilized to analyse a variety of processes, offering valuable insights on temperature and species concentrations with non-intrusive measurements, while maintaining high temporal and spatial resolution. With the advent of technology and the introduction of lasers with high peak power, such as femto-second (fs) lasers, the full potential of these diagnosti
Attacks on infrastructure have been a common feature of terrorism over many decades. The weapon of choice is often a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) or a person-borne or other type of IED. The consequences of a successful attack in terms of casualties, physical damage, and other direct and indirect costs including societal costs can be catastrophic. Protectives and other risk red
Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses significant challenges to health care, often resulting in delayed or inadequate patient care. The clinical integration of blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) for AD holds promise in enabling early detection of pathology and timely intervention. However, several critical considerations, such as the lack of consistent guidelines for assessing cognition, limited un
In this paper, an iterative learning strategy was developed to improve trajectory tracking for an impedance-controlled robot manipulator. In this learning strategy, an update law was proposed to modify the Cartesian reference of an impedance controller. Also, the conditions that ensure its convergence considering the dynamics of the robot were derived. Finally, an experimental evaluation was perfo
The built environment is still, to a large extent, not accessible and usable for all. The awareness of people's different conditions and abilities sometimes seems to be far from the agenda for planning and architecture. Universal Desing (UD) is pointed out as a strategy to achieve a built environment for all people regardless of age and abilities. UD has a radical potential to bring about change a
We prove linear convergence for a new family of modified Dirichlet–Neumann methods applied to quasilinear parabolic equations, as well as the convergence of the Robin–Robin method. Such nonoverlapping domain decomposition methods are commonly employed for the parallelization of partial differential equation solvers. Convergence has been extensively studied for elliptic equations, but in the case o
Tidigare forskning om riksdagsledamöternas politiska intressen har pekat på partitillhörighetens betydelse för den enskilda riksdagsledamotens individuella intressen och möjlighet att uttrycka dem i interpellationer och motioner. Sociologisk forskning visar samtidigt att en social kategori som etnicitet kan ha betydelse både för individers identitet och för individers politiska intressen. I denna
Titel: En analys faktorerna som berör beslutsprocessen av flexibla livsmedelsförpackningar Författare: Jenny Berglund, Marie Hallbergson Handledare: Malin Olander, Annika Olsson, Avdelningen för förpackningslogistik, Institutionen för designvetenskaper Problemställningar: ? Vilka drivkrafter ligger bakom besluten av förpackningar inom livsmedelsindustrin? ? Hur ser samarbetet i värdekedjan ut
I denna uppsats så tar vi upp frågan om individuell lönesättning för domare. Detta blev nyligen implementerat för Sveriges domare på initiativ av Domstolsverket. Frågan blev en konflikt då domarna ansåg att det var ett hot mot deras självständighet i den dömande verksamheten då individuell lönesättning skulle kunna vara ett verktyg för styrning. Vi har intervjuat domare och Domstolsverket och vi h
