The dispersion of droplets and mixing of evaporated gases in a swirl stabilized gas turbine combustor are studied with an Eulerian / Lagrangian approach. The results are shown to be highly sensitive to the assumed droplet injection diameter. Injection of smaller droplet diameters lead to significantly higher local equivalence ratios and temperature drops, and increased gas phase densities, enhanci

Förutom att vara en uppskattning av Håkan Lundström är detta en bok av intresse för alla som funderar i konstnärliga termer och framför allt i en akademisk miljö. Boken består av en mosaik av idéer om allt möjligtsom ryms under det konstnärliga idéparaplyet och som har något slags anknytning till festföremålet. Utgångspunkten är drongo-fågeln som är en metafor för längtan i kammudiktningen, som haApart from appealing to those who know and appreciate Håkan, this book is likely to interest the artistically inclined, particularly those in an academic environment. It is a mosaic of texts, more than a mere memorial, that allows us to accompany Håkan on a journey to many of the places contained under the artistic umbrella, especially those which happen to have a more intimate connection with our

Based on two sets of data consisting of research articles from Web of Science, analyses were made on articles citing Genette and articles using the paratext concept. The purpose was to investigate the context in which the paratext concept is used and Genette is cited by analyzing the journals and research fields in which the articles were published, the literature these articles are based on, and

The first rapidity density distributions from relativistic collisions between truly heavy nuclei are presented. The distributions are compared with expectations from a linear extrapolation of results obtained from collisions with lighter nuclei. Fluctuations are essentially described by a simple scenario with stochastic emission.

Altered renal function is an essential component of the pathophysiological process in preeclampsia. The kidneys play a significant part in the turnover of most low molecular weight substances such as creatinine, urate and cystatin C. The present work was undertaken to investigate if the serum levels of these components are altered in characteristic ways in preeclampsia, and can be used to assist i

In the framework of the semi-hard (k(t)-factorization) approach, we analyze the various charm production processes in the kinematic region covered by the HERA experiments.

Background: Little is known regarding vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in African populations and in tuberculosis (TB) patients. VDD has been shown to be associated with TB. Objective: We aimed to compare the degree of vitamin D insufficiency (VDI) and VDD in TB patients and healthy adult controls in a West African population. Design: An unmatched case-control study was performed at a Demographic Survei

Small-angle two-particle correlation functions, involving neutrons and protons, have been measured for E/A = 61 MeV Ar + Sn-112,Sn-124 collisions, i.e. systems similar in size but with different isospin asymmetry. The correlation strength of neutron-proton (np) and proton-proton (pp) pairs is stronger for the more neutron-rich system, indicating a shorter average emission time for this system. Com

The ability to compare soil chemical data achieved by different chemical extraction methods is a necessity for an efficient long-term monitoring of soils and for comparisons of results from regional soil surveys with differing standard methods. This study compares two common, methods for analysis of soil chemical properties, the combination of soil extraction in 1.0 M NH4Cl and 1.0 M KCl and the s

The objectives of the study were, in a working population, to standardize and evaluate a set of clinical tests on impairment level related to the low back with reference to intra- and inter-rater reliability. The study was undertaken in two steps. In step 1, 15 tests were examined for inter-rater reliability by three pairs of physiotherapists and for intra-rater reliability by one physiotherapist.

The lack of a conserved tyrosine autophosphorylation site is a unique feature of the C-terminal Src-kinase, Csk, although this protein tyrosine kinase can be autophosphorylated on tyrosine residues in vitro and in bacteria. Here we show that human Csk is tyrosine phosphorylated in HeLa cells treated with sodium pervanadate. Phosphorylation in vivo occurs mainly at Tyr-184 and in vitro mainly at Ty

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients display motor symptoms, e.g. tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia, largely due to a dramatic loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Grafts of human embryonic dopamine neurons can survive in the striatum and reduce several of the motor symptoms. Several lines of evidence suggest that a crucial threshold of surviving dopaminergic neurons must be exceeded
