6. On the hydrodynamic lubrication in tilting pad thrust bearings
Abstract : The primarily objective of this work was to investigate the performance of environmentally adapted synthetic oils in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime. A special test facility has been designed and manufactured for this purpose. The facility contains two equalising tilting pad thrust bearings typical of design in general use. READ MORE

7. Aspects of Hadron Production in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Physics
Abstract : High-energy heavy-ion collisions provide a unique tool for the study of nuclear matter as a function of temperature and density. WA98 at the CERN SPS recorded data with a 158 A GeV Pb beam on a Pb target in 1996. To cope with the high charged-particle density, a tracking system based on high granularity multi-step avalanche detectors was developed. READ MORE

8. Menstrual dirt - An exploration of contemporary menstrual hygiene practices in Sweden
Abstract : Menstrual Dirt is a sociological study of how some aspects of menstruation come into being as dirty phenomenon, both in material and symbolic terms. Through engaging with a variety of empirical material Persdotter explores the everyday details of menstrual hygiene practices: how people roll their used pads, dispose their menstrual waste, wash their bloody genitals, change and clean their menstrual cups, clean toilets, and wash dirty clothes and carpets, and much more.

9. Friction and contact phenomena of disc brakes related to squeal
Abstract : Brake squeal is a sound with a main frequency between 1 and 20 kHz, generated by an oscillation of the components of the brake system. The energy driving the oscillation is supplied by the friction between the disc and the pads. READ MORE

10. Net-Charge Fluctuations in Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
Abstract : PHENIX is one of four experiments at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, RHIC. The high-energy heavy-ion collisions provided by this accelerator offer the possibility to study nuclear matter at high temperature and density. The high multiplicity of particles produced in these collisions puts high demands on detector performance. READ MORE
