  4. 2. Design of Multifunctional Body Panels for Conflicting Structural and Acoustic Requirements in Automotive Applications

    Author : Christopher John Cameron; Dan Zenkert; Peter Göransson; Per Wennhage; Henry Rice; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Over the past century, the automobile has become an integral part of society, with vastincreases in safety, refinement, and complexity, but most unfortunately in mass. Thetrend of increasing mass cannot be maintained in the face of increasingly stringentregulations on fuel consumption and emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Endocannabinoids and N-acylethanolamines in translational pain research : from monoacylglycerol lipase to muscle pain

    Author : Nazdar Ghafouri; Christopher J Fowler; Andrew SC Rice; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Monoacylglycerol lipase; endocannabinoid; palmitoylethanolamide; N-acylethanolamines; microdialysis; chronic widespread pain; muscle pain; trapezius;

    Abstract : In the early nineties cannabinoid receptors, the main target for Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana were identified. Shortly after their endogenous ligands, N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) and 2-diacylglycerol (2-AG) were characterized. READ MORE

  6. 4. Peatland Bryophytes in a Changing Environment : Ecophysiological Traits and Ecosystem Function

    Author : Gustaf Granath; Håkan Rydin; Joachim Strengbom; Steven K Rice; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allometric scaling; chlorophyll fluorescence; competition; decomposition; flooding; mire; N concentration; nitrogen deposition; photosynthesis; succession; stoichiometry; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

    Abstract : Peatlands are peat forming ecosystems in which not fully decomposed plant material builds up the soil. The sequestration of carbon into peat is mainly associated with the bryophyte genus Sphagnum (peat mosses), which dominate and literally form most peatlands. READ MORE

  7. 5. Elastic and acoustic characterisation of porous layered system

    Author : Rémi Guastavino; Peter Göransson; Henry Rice; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract : For an accurate prediction of the low and medium frequency surface vibration and sound radiation behaviour of porous layered systems, there is a need to improve the means of estimating their elastic and acoustic properties. The underlying reasons for this are many and of varying origin, one prominent being a poor knowledge of the geometric anisotropy of the cell microstructure in the manufactured porous materials.
