  2. 1. Too close for comfort : The role of Contact-Dependent growth Inhibition (CDI) in interbacterial competition and cooperation

    Author : Marcus Wäneskog; Sanna Koskiniemi; Paul Rainey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial interactions; cell-cell binding; contact-dependent growth inhibition; CDI; CdiB; CdiA; CdiI; outer-membrane receptor; BamA; OmpC; OmpF; extracellular toxin delivery; Toxin-Antitoxin; TA-system; persister cells; stress tolerance; stress response; rpoS; rssB; quorum sensing; multicellular behavior; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Contact-Dependent growth inhibition (CDI) was discovered in 2005 in the E. coli isolate EC93. Since then our knowledge of CDI systems and their impact on bacterial communities have increased exponentially. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hydraulic Power Steering System Design in Road Vehicles : Analysis, Testing and Enhanced Functionality

    Author : Marcus Rösth; Jan-Ove Palmberg; Nick Vaughan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydraulic Power Steering; Active Safety; Comfort function; Shuttering; Linear modelling; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Demands for including more functions such as haptic guiding in power steering systems in road vehicles have increased with requirements on new active safety and comfort systems. Active safety systems, which have been proven to have a positive effect on overall vehicle safety, refer to systems that give the driver assistance in more and less critical situations to avoid accidents.

  5. 3. Active Lateral Secondary Suspension in a High-Speed Train to Improve Ride Comfort

    Author : Anneli Orvnäs; Sebastian Stichel; Viktor Berbyuk; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway; active suspension; ride comfort; sky-hook; Hinf; multi-body simulations; on-track tests; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Active secondary suspension in trains has been studied for a number of years, showing promising improvements in ride comfort. However, due to relatively high implementation and maintenance costs, active technology is not being used in service operation to a large extent. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects on the lacrimal drainage function

    Author : Sven Sahlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to increase the knowledge on the function of the lacrimal passages. For this purpose, a quantitative test for the lacrimal drainage function is established: the drop test. Two principal parameters are introduced: the lacrimal drainage capacity and the blink output.

  7. 5. Comfort Climate Evaluation with Thermal Manikin Methods and Computer Simulation Models

    Author : Håkan O Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : thermal climate assessment; thermal environment; office environment; cabin; climate; CFD; thermal manikin; comfort zone diagram;

    Abstract : Increasing concern about energy consumption and thesimultaneous need for an acceptable thermal environment makesit necessary to estimate in advance what effect differentthermal factors will have on the occupants. Temperaturemeasurements alone do not account for all climate effects onthe human body and especially not for local effects ofconvection and radiation. READ MORE
