Orwak is a company that has manufactured machines for waste compaction, mainly cardboard and soft plastic, for over 30 years. They offer the customer a complete compression solution which improves the efficiency and the total economy. In 2006, Orwak introduced a new marketing concept called “Less is More” to improve their sales. In this concept, Orwak has identified and presented ten important fac
The purpose with this work has been to develop and construct a Niobium target for the production of [18F]fluoride with a MC 16 Scanditronix cyclotron. The future demand larger amounts of [18F]fluoride and to satisfy the forthcoming needs an enhanced target needs to be installed on the cyclotron. The old target could have provided the forthcoming needs but to obtain good margins it is important wit
The time-resolved emission spectra and the excitation spectra of the main emissions have been measured for the first time in stressed and unstressed RbI crystals using synchrotron radiation of 10-30 eV at 8 K. It has been shown that the applied elastic uniaxial stress (EUS) offers promise for the separation of the elementary multiplication mechanisms of electronic excitations. A different influenc
The objectives of this study were to describe a population of elderly patients at the beginning of their rehabilitation period as regards subjective well-being and dependence in activities of daily living (ADL). In a Swedish rural county 244 patients aged 65+ who had begun rehabilitation within the last month were targeted. One part of the self-administered Goteborg Quality of Life Instrument and
The aim of this study was to establish the influence of alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), administered to pregnant sows from the 91(SI) d of pregnancy to farrowing, and then to piglets from birth to the 30(th) d of life, on lysozyme and ceruloplasmin activity, serum total protein content, and the WBC counts in blood of piglets, at the age of the 14(th) and 30(th) d of their postnatal life. The sows were
Purpose - Aims to present general concepts and framework for increasing the flexibility in robotic arc welding with respect to use of sensors and small series production. Design/methodology/approach - Presents a conceptual model with a framework that integrates existing tools and needed developments and research to increase the usefulness of sensors in robotic arc welding. The conceptual model is
Objective: To redesign the current assembly process of the Ektorp Sofa from IKEA in order to improve cycle times, quality levels and to reduce, if possible, costs associated with manufacturing, production times and materials. IKEA wants to increase either the productivity or the quality standard of the Ektorp Sofa by simplifying the processes involved in the construction of the sofa and modernizin
C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a multimeric glycoprotein in plasma with important regulatory functions in the complement system. It occurs in two forms, as free protein and in a non-covalent bimolecular complex with the vitamin K-dependent protein S. Protein S is an important anticoagulant and enhances the rate of inactivation by activated protein C of blood coagulation factors, Va and VIIIa. Prote
In the promotion of energy efficiency in educational facilities, preschool children play an important role since simple energy-saving behaviour can be developed in early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of behaviour interventions, with a particular focus on preschool children’s turn-off behaviour in shared environments. The intervention tools i.e. digital game, paper-board ga
Benchmarking has been a useful tool for unbiased comparison of control strategies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in terms of effluent quality, operational cost and risk of suffering microbiology-related total suspended solids (TSS) separation problems. This chapter presents the status of extending the original Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 (BSM2) towards including greenhouse gas (GHG) em
Background: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are often interested in dietary interventions as a means of managing their symptoms. However, the relative efficacy of available diets for the management of IBS is unclear. We aimed to examine the relative efficacy of various dietary interventions in IBS. Methods: For this systematic review and network meta-analysis we searched MEDLINE, EMBA
This paper explores the situation when tenants in public houses, in a specific neighborhood, are given the legislated right to buy the houses they live in but can choose to remain in their houses and pay the regulated rent. This type of legislation has been passed in many European countries in the last 30-35 years (U.K. Housing Act 1980 is a leading example). The main objective with this type of l
The self-assembly of the trifluoroacetate salt of the short peptide (ala)(6)-lys (A(6)K) in water has been investigated by cryo-transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. For concentrations below ca. 12%, the peptide does not self-assemble but forms a molecularly dispersed solution. Above this critical concentration, however, A(6)K self-assembles into several-micrometer-lon
The Swedish Higher Education Ordinance states1 in Chapter 8, section 1 (Svensk Förfat- tningssamling [SFS] 1993:100) that disciplinary action can be taken against a student who “at- tempt to deceive during examinations or when academic work is otherwise assessed”. Suspicion of such behaviour is to be reported to the disciplinary board, which in turn has to establish the students intent. The main f
As a second major result we show how to combine the path cover technique with LCA solutions for dags with small depth [9]. Our algorithm attains the best known upper time bound for this problem of O(n 2.575). However, most notably, the algorithm performs better on a vast amount of input dags, i.e. dags that do not have an almost linear-sized subdag of extremely regular structure. Finally, we appl
A new amperometric biosensor for ethanol, based on carbon paste electrode modified with alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), polyethylenimine (PEI) and using a phenothiazine derivative (DDDP; 16H,18H-dibenzo[c,1]7,9-dithia-16,18-diazapentacene) as redox mediator for NADH recycling, was developed. The biosensor response is the result of mediated oxidation of NADH, generated in the enzymatic reaction betwee
