It is crucial for social work education to provide opportunities for students to gain a sincere and genuine knowledge of the conditions of life that are common for their forthcoming clients and patients. Social work students and service users with experiences with multiple social and personal problems now meet, as they are participants in an experimental course at the School of Social Work in Lund
Following increased efforts during the last decade to formulate mathematical models for the paper drying process, this paper presents a Modelica library, DryLib, which enables users to rapidly develop complex models of paper machine dryer sections. In addition, parameter optimization, model reduction and moisture control by means of Non-Linear Model Predictive Control is treated. These application
The quality of test is highly related to the number of faults that can be detected during the testing (fault coverage) and the defect probability of each testable unit. High test quality is reached by applying an excessive number of good test vectors, however, such a high test data volume can be problematic to fit in the ATE's (automatic test equipment) limited memory. We therefore propose, for co
We give a simpler proof of the formula, due to J.-L. Lions, for the reproducing kernel of the space of harmonic functions on a domain Omegasubset ofR(n) whose boundary values belong to the Sobolev space H-s(partial derivativeOmega), and also obtain generalizations of this formula when instead of harmonic functions one considers functions annihilated by a given elliptic partial differential operato
The deactivation of a commercial Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst, of V2O5−WO3/TiO2 type, has been studied through comparisons with results from a full-scale biomass combustion plant to that with laboratory experiments. In the latter, the catalyst was exposed to KCl and K2SO4 by both wet impregnation with diluted salt solutions and deposition of generated submicrometer aerosol particle
The aim of this study was to estimate costs of treating venous leg ulcers in Sweden and the United Kingdom during 1 year and to quantify costs in different health states, The costs of treating four different types of venous leg ulcers were estimated for 52 weeks by a stochastic health economic model, which simulated resource use data obtained from prospectively collected patient data, expert panel
Leukocyte recruitment in the liver includes a two-step procedure in which selectin-dependent leukocyte rolling is a prerequisite for subsequent CD18-dependent leukocyte firm adhesion in postsinusoidal venules. However, the roles of the individual selectins in leukocyte rolling and adhesion, hepatocellular injury, and apoptosis remain elusive. Therefore, we examined the pathophysiological role of P
Aim The aim of this work was to estimate on a regional scale the effects of nitrogen (N) deposition and harvest intensity on N-budgets in forest soils as a basis for strategies of emission reduction and sustainable forest management methods. Location The calculations were applied to Sweden, a country with a managed forest area of 23 x 10(6) ha. Methods Mass balance calculations, including N-deposi
A search for gravitinos produced in e(+/-)p collisions is performed using the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb(-1) for e(+)p collisions and 13.5 pb(-1) for e(-)p collisions. If R-parity is not conserved, the t-channel exchange of a selectron can produce a neutralino, which, in models where the gravi
Newton-Raphson and Goldschmidt algorithms can be sped up by using variable latency hardware architectures for rounding division, square root and their reciprocals. A new approach based on a rounding method with remainder estimate calculated concurrently with the algorithm was proposed in [5]. This paper presents an study of the hardware implementation of this approach and shows that does not suppo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Autoimmuna sjukdomar är tillstånd där vårt immunförsvar angriper den egna kroppen. Det finns ett flertal sådana sjukdomar av vilka jag huvud-sakligen har intresserat mig för rheumatoid artrit (RA) och multipel skleros (MS). De behandlingar som finns för de drabbade är idag främst riktade mot ergonomi, smärtlindring och olika former av immunsupres-sion (tex TNFa antikropThe causes of autoimmune diseases are largely unknown today, but there is evidence supporting a substantial complex genetic influence on many of these diseases as well as environmental factors and chance. In this thesis I have tried to get one step closer to the genetic causes of two autoimmune diseases through their induced counterparts in mice, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scler
Denna avhandling handlar om teoretisk partikelfysik. Partikelfysik handlar om elementarpartiklar och hur dessa växelverkar med varandra, dvs vilka krafter som verkar mellan dem. Detta är hur materien ser ut på den minsta skala vi har kunnat studera experimentellt. Den teori som beskriver de starka, svaga och elektromagnetiska krafterna och de materiepartiklar som vi känner till, kvarkar och leptonThis thesis includes two topics.The first three papers is the major part of this thesis, which is about higher order calculations in the effective field theories of three QCD-like theories. These three QCD-like theories are distinguished by having quarks in a complex, real or pseudo-real representation of gauge group. We wrote their effective field theories in a very similar way so that the calcul
Theever-increasing test data volume for core-based system-on-chip(SOC) integrated circuits is resulting in high test times andexcessive tester memory requirements. To reduce both test time andtest data volume, we propose a technique for test-architectureoptimization and test scheduling that is based on core-levelexpansion of compressed test patterns. For each wrapped embeddedcore and its decompres
