2. 16. Composing over time, temporal patterns : in Textile Design

   Author : Barbara Jansen; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; temporal patterns; textile design; Textiles and fashion; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis investigates through practice a new field of textile design exploring the visual effects of moving light as a continuous time-based medium. Thereby, the textile design pattern reveals its composition, not in one moment of time any more, but in fact over time. READ MORE

4. 17. Material Properties of Bulk Hydrophobic Concrete in a Nordic Environment

   Author : Patrick Rogers; Johan Silfwerbrand; Tang Luping; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alkyl alkoxysilane; capillary suction; chloride ingress; concrete; hydrophobic agents; triacylglycerides; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

   Abstract : Concrete in its unaltered form allows the mass transfer of fluids into and out of its microstructure. These fluids can contain detrimental solutes which change the chemistry of the cement paste and/or the corrosion properties of the reinforcement bars, most noticeably hydrogen carbonates (HCO3-), oxygen (O2) and chloride ions (Cl-).

5. 18. Profitability Performance of Supermarkets : The effects of scale of operation, local market conditions, and conduct on the economic performance of supermarkets

   Author : Mikael Hernant; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Retailing; Store performance; Profitability; Economies of scale; Competition; Business and economics; Ekonomi; Humaniora-samhällsvetenskap; Humanities and Social sciences;

   Abstract : Ever since introduced and rolled out on the market during the 1950's and 1960's the supermarket format of grocery retail stores has played an important role in the grocery retail sector in Sweden, as well as in other countries. Although the sector in Sweden has evolved into a sector harbouring various store formats, the supermarket remains the major one - about half of the total volume of sales currently goes through supermarkets.

6. 19. The Politics of Social Networks : Interpersonal Trust and Institutional Change in Post-Communist East Germany

   Author : Astrid Hedin; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; East Germany; PDS; SED; feminism; gender; political party; communicative action; logic of appropriateness; garbage-can decision-making; interpersonal trust; institutional change; social network; new institutionalism; structuration; Giddens; path-dependence; Political and administrative sciences; Statsvetenskap; förvaltningskunskap;

   Abstract : New institutionalist approaches are inherently weak at accounting for institutional change. In this book, social network analysis is proposed as a key to institutional change. The social network perspective focuses emergent patterns of interpersonal interaction and the resulting ties of interpersonal trust. READ MORE

7. 20. Numerical Modelling of Fuel Injection and Stratified Turbulent Combustion in a Direct-Injection Spark-Ignition Engine Using an Open Source Code

   Author : Chen Huang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hollow-cone spray; KHRT; liquid penetration; CFD; OpenFOAM; Flame Speed Closure FSC ; ignition delay; SMD; gasoline surrogate; laminar flame speed; presumed PDF; Spray-Guided Gasoline Direct Injection engine; chemical mechanism; modelling; premixed stratified turbulent combustion;

   Abstract : Stringent regulations on the emission of pollutants, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), necessitate the development of advanced combustion technologies. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) into the combustion chamber of a Spark Ignition (SI) engine is a combustion strategy that is widely recognized as having the potential to improve fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines for passenger cars.
