Pickering emulsions are emulsions that are stabilized by fine particles. They have been the focus of considerable research in the past decade due to their properties such as high stability with respect to coalescence and Ostwald ripening, as well as due to advances in nanotechnology that allows us to create and characterize nano-scale structures in new ways. This work reviews some of the recent wo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gasturbiner har länge varit en ekonimsk och driftsäkert sätt att producera energi. Främst har dom använts för framdrivning av flygplan och production av elektricitet och värme. Dom ständigt ökade kraven på miljöfarliga emissioner har tvingat fram nya metoder för att producera kraft. Nästa generations kraftverk måste ha hög termisk verkningsgrad samt mycket låga emissionGas turbines have served as economically profitable and reliable generators of power for the past few decades, and have mainly been used in simple and combined cycles. The increased restrictions on hazardous emissions and the increased demand for profitability have created new prospects for innovative power cycles. The requirements for these new power cycles are substantially better emissions, hig

To enhance the performance of gas turbine engines, high top-cycle temperatures are desired. However, the temperature is limited by current materials. To achieve the higher performance, and meanwhile maintain the metal temperatures of the combustors, vanes and blades below the allowable limits, sophisticated cooling techniques, such as impingement cooling, film cooling and convective internal cooli

A mixed initial-boundary value problem for a nonlocal, hyperbolic equation is analyzed with respect to unique solubility and causality. The regularity of the step response and impulse response (the Green functions) is investigated, and a wave front theorem is proved. The problem arises, e.g., at time-varying, electromagnetic, plane wave excitation of stratified, temporally dispersive, bi-isotropic

Dividing complex systems into smaller components that are easier for humans to comprehend and manage, is a wide spread method in software design. As systems grow more complex, the task of solving the different dependencies and constrictions of the various components in a system, and create a stable and valid composition naturally also gains complexity. Various tools have been constructed to manage

Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

HR indicators are increasingly used as a method for analysis in the work with human rights. However, the concept of HR indicators is often subject to confusion due to the lack of a common and universal theoretical framework. This study focuses on the elaboration of HR indicators for state reporting within the UN treaty monitoring bodies and argues that an extended and more coherent use of HR indic

This paper explores the validity of assuming the existence of a Swedish R&D paradox based on the relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth, and what implications the existence of such a paradox ought to have on policies that concern R&D expenditure. Consequently, in the first instance, the relationship between Gross Expenditure on Research & Development (GERD) and G

Applying contemporary ideas regarding the role literature may have had in human evolutionary history to literary analysis, using Herman Melville's Moby Dick as a case study. The paper focuses on the function of male bonding in the text, the ways in which the setting is defined by humanity's evolutionary past, and the artistic function of the hunt, as it is described in the text.

Genom osteohistologiska analyser kan stora mängder information erhållas. Förutom möjligheten att uppskatta åldern och mognadsgraden hos ett djur kan tillväxtsmärken i skelettet, så kallade ’growth marks’ eller GM, också innehålla information om benens tillväxtshastighet, djurets tillväxtstrategi och till och med levnadssätt. Denna studie avhandlar histologin hos fossiliserade ben tillhörande en haOsteo-histology provides information on age, growth strategies, and lifestyles of both recent and ancient animals. This study deals with the histology of fossilized bone from three groups of tetrapods – sea turtles, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs – all secondarily adapted to marine life, but with rather different bone microstructures. As a result of extensive vascularization (i.e. osteoporosis), ich
