  2. 1. An Essay on Thomas Reid´s Philosophy of Science

    Author : Robert Callergård; Dugald Murdoch; Ryan Nichols; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Newton; newtonianism; Regulae Philosophandi; physics; constant conjunction; hypothesis; ether; force; efficient cause; simplicity; explanation; law; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : Though generally recognized as a formative force in his philosophy, Thomas Reid’s Newtonianism and his philosophy of science has not received due attention among scholars. My aim is to inaugurate a detailed survey. In ch. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effective Charges Near 56Ni and Production of Anti-Nuclei Studied with Heavy-Ion Reactions

    Author : Rickard du Rietz; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RDDS; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; PHENIX; RHIC; mirror nuclei; shell-model calculations; fusion-evaporation reactions; effective charges; anti-deuteron; Heavy-ion reactions; Fysicumarkivet A:000;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the research performed within two different research groups using heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions. They offer the opportunity to investigate different properties of nuclear matter. The results are based on measurements using a variety of different experimental techniques. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thin Layers in Elastic Wave Propagation -Effective Modelling and Diffraction

    Author : Peter Bövik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometrical Theory of Diffraction; elastic wave scattering; shear waves; Wienr-Hopf method; L-TV waves; applications;

    Abstract : In the present thesis, the interest is focussed on the problem of effective modelling of thin interface layers for applications in elastic wave scattering. The layers are considered to be thin compared with wavelengths involved and it is shown that when all effects to lowest order in the layer thickness are included, we get boundary conditions (BCs) which have a number of nice features, including the one of implying that no scattering occurs when the layer has material parameters identical to the ones in the matrix medium.

  6. 4. Drying and Pyrolysis of Logs of Wood

    Author : Jenny Larfeldt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; structural changes; heat transfer properties; pyrolysis; drying; single particle; wood;

    Abstract : This work concerns log firing in small-scale boilers for house heating, which in Sweden meets a heat demand of 12 TWh a year. In boilers used for domestic central heating in the sizes of 10 to 30 kW the predominant combustion technique is grate firing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Predicting health behaviors and health outcomes during pregnancy : A biopsychosocial approach

    Author : Alina Rodriguez; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; stress; social support; personality; pregnancy adjustment; health awareness; perceived health; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; Clinical Psychology; Klinisk psykologi;

    Abstract : Pregnancy is a major health event. The biomedical perspective alone is unable to predict complications,particularly for nulliparous women. READ MORE
