Rotary vacuum filters (RVFs) with adiatomaceous earth (kieselguhr) coatings as filter aid are the most established technology for the removal of the so-called mud fraction after liquefaction and saccharification in the production of starch-based sweeteners. The RVFs is an open process which is further associated with the use of filters resulting in an increasing disposal challenge. Based on this t
Continuously operated settling tanks are used for the gravity separation of solid-liquid suspensions in several industries. Mathematical models of these units form a topic for well-posedness and numerical analysis even in one space dimension due to the spatially discontinuous coefficients of the underlying strongly degenerate parabolic, nonlinear model partial differential equation (PDE). Such a m
The pitch. This is the core of the process, 90 minutes of a game, creatinghistory ad hoc, constantly, quickly, and sometimes painfully. 22 playersrun and fight over the ball, for their careers, respect, and fame. Supportersoften see themselves as the most important participants in the footballexperience, but one needs players. The emphasis in the media has oftenbeen on the football superstars, des
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to systematically explore the current understanding of the role of non-R&D and non-managerial employees in different phases and types of innovation, and to propose avenues for future research. Design/methodology/approach: By conducting a mapping study and applying a critical discourse analysis, the phenomenon of “ordinary” employee innovation is explored a
The purpose of this study was to critically interrogate gender in Swedish management education, with the objective of making it more gender equal. Following a multi-paradigmatic approach, shifting between interpretative and critical feminist knowledge interests, we developed a qualitative study simultaneously working with theory and empirical material. We got to our findings by analyzing business
Background: The literature reviewed in the context of this master’ programme frequently refers to the enormous and increasing flows of people in the global era (Dicken, 2007; Lechner, 2004; Yeates, 2008); consequently, these flows have different directions and motives and represent diverse types of migration and migrants. As a result, the pivotal point here is the specificity of scientific migrati
How are people facing a virtual agent affected by the vividness and graphical fidelity of the agent and its environment? A choice blindness (CB) experiment - measuring detection rate of hidden manipulations - was conducted presenting a high versus low immersion virtual environment. The hypothesis was that the lower quality virtual environment (low immersion) would increase the detection rate for t
Abstract in UndeterminedThis manuscript presents a new approach to the design of task scheduling algorithms, where system-theoretical methodologies are used throughout. The proposal implies a significant perspective shift with respect to mainstream design practices, but yields large payoffs in terms of simplicity, flexibility, solution uniformity for different problems, and possibility to formally
Radiative interferences in the multi-parton shower is the building block of QCD jet physics in vacuum. The presence of a hot medium made of quarks and gluons is expected to alter this interference pattern. To study these effects, we derive the gluon emission spectrum off a color-correlated quark-antiquark pair (antenna) traversing a colored medium to first order in the medium density. The resultin
Abstract Objective. Previous studies have identified a significant volume-outcome relationship for hospitals performing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, scant information exists concerning the effects of increased caseload of PD within the same hospital. Here, we describe the effects of becoming a high-volume provider of PD. Material and methods. The study group comprised 221 patients who un
The peptide GSFSIQYTYHV derived from human semenogelin I forms a transparent hydrogel through spontaneous self-assembly in water at neutral pH. Linear rheology measurements demonstrate that the gel shows a dominating elastic response over a large frequency interval. CD, fluorescence and FTIR spectroscopy and cryo-TEM studies imply long fibrillar aggregates of extended β-sheet. Dynamic light scatte
Building on Forney's concept of the genie (1972), and introducing the idea of an explicit statistical description of the side information provided to the genie-aided detector, we develop a generic tool for derivation of lower bounds on the bit-error rate of any actual receiver. With this approach, the side information statistics become design parameters, which may be chosen to give the resulting b
This paper presents a simulation model that has been developed to analyse how the application of Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) affects material handling activities in a retail distribution centre. The simulation model handles both stochastic and dynamic behaviours, and describes how the receiving, picking and shipping activities will behave and perform over time when RFID tags a
An inverse source problem associated with a semi-linear transport or one-way wave equation in one spatial dimension is considered. It is shown an analytic solution to the inverse problem can be given and furthermore, that this inverse problem of determination of a source function is ill-posed, and must be regularised. A novel regularisation scheme which combines least squares monotone approximatio
In this paper I consider whether eudamonism—i.e. the thesis that the ultimate aim of human life and conduct is the attainment of happiness and that the achievement of this goal is closely linked to the acquisition and exercise of moral virtue and tranquillity of the soul—could serve as a framework for a theory of rights. I argue that the eudaimonist’s chances to ground a theory of rights from with
