5. 3. Describing Interstitials in Close-packed Lattices: First-principles Study

   Author : Noura Al-Zoubi; Levente Vitos; Se Kyun Kwon; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Describing interstitial atoms in intermetallics or simple mono-atomic close-packed metals is a straightforward procedure in common full-potential calculations. One establishes a sufficiently large supercell, introduces the interstitial impurity and performs the electronic structure and total energy calculation. READ MORE

6. 4. Aerodynamics of vehicle platooning

   Author : Johannes Törnell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; close proximity; drag; platooning; cab over engine; aerodynamics; yaw; wake; side wind; truck; inter-vehicle distance; lateral offset;

   Abstract : Many factors are pushing automotive manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their fleets; some of these are legislative (requiring reduced greenhouse gas emissions) as well as ensuring sufficient range and power consumption in electric vehicles. An important part of improving the energy efficiency of road vehicles is reducing their aerodynamic drag. READ MORE

7. 5. On the Formation and Physical Behaviour of Exhaled Particles

   Author : Helene Holmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breath hold; size distribution; deposition; relative humidity; tidal breathing; exhaled particles; airway closure; film droplet;

   Abstract : Aerosol particles are generated in human airways and leave the body with exhaled air. The particles originate from the respiratory tract and contain non-volatile compoundsthat potentially may be used as biomarkers for various medical conditions. To utilise any information provided by the particles, they must be characterised. READ MORE
