2. 1. Modelling and experimental testing of truck tyre rolling resistance

   Author : Jukka Hyttinen; Lars Drugge; Jenny Jerrelind; James Busfield; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Truck tyre; PRF; filler-reinforced rubber; ambient temperature; rubber testing; constitutive modelling; parametrisation; rolling resistance; load cell; Fletcher-Gent effect; Payne effect; Lastbilsdäck; PRF; förstärkande fyllmedel; gummi; omgivningstemperatur; gummiprovning; konstitutiv modellering; parametrisering; rullmotstånd; lastcell; Fletcher-Gent effekt; Payne effekt; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : Truck transport offers a versatile way to ship goods in regional, long haulage and urban applications. However, the heavy truck sector accounts for 6 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. Therefore, there is a need for a substantial reduction of these emissions to secure the sustainability of Earth for future generations. READ MORE

4. 2. Truck tyre rolling resistance : Experimental testing and constitutive modelling of tyres

   Author : Jukka Hyttinen; Lars Drugge; Jenny Jerrelind; James Busfield; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Truck tyre; PRF; filler reinforced rubber; ambient temperature; rubber testing; parametrisation; Finite-element simulation; Lastbildäck; PRF; gummi; förstärkande fyllmedel; effekt av omgivningstemperatur; gummiprovning; parametrisering; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : Global warming sets a high demand to reduce the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In the European Union heavy-duty road transports account for 6 % of the total greenhouse gases and one of the main factors affecting these emissions is related to the rolling resistance of tyres. READ MORE

5. 3. A Detailed Modeling Study for Primary Reference Fuels and Fuel Mixtures and Their Use in Engineering Applications

   Author : Syed Ahmed; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Teknik; Detailed mechanism; Lumping procedure; Reduction technique.; Technological sciences; Fuel blends; n-heptane; Primary Reference Fuels PRF ; Toulene; iso-octane;

   Abstract : The aim of this work is to generate detailed and simplified kinetic models for the oxidation of the Primary Reference Fuels (PRF) n-heptane, iso-octane and their mixtures, with low numbers of species and reactions. These mechanisms are consistent in terms of the choice of kinetic parameters for the different reaction classes. READ MORE

6. 4. Genetic studies of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

   Author : Kim Göransdotter Ericson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis FHL ; PRF1 gene; MUNC13-4 gene; NK cells; cytotoxic T lymphocytes;

   Abstract : The main contribution from this thesis is a refined knowledge of locus heterogeneity in familial hernophagocytic lympbohistiocytosis (FHL) and a further characterization of corresponding clinical and immunological phenotypes. Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a fatal autosomal recessive immune deficiency clinically characterized by fever, cytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and hemophagocytosis. READ MORE

7. 5. Automatic Analysis and Reduction of Reaction Mechanisms for Complex Fuel Combustion

   Author : Daniel Nilsson; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydraulik; Complex fuel combustion; Reduced kinetic models; skeletal mechanism; QSSA; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; vacuum technology; Maskinteknik; vibration and acoustic engineering; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Physics; Fysik; Chemistry; Kemi; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Nilsson;

   Abstract : This work concentrates on automatic procedures for simplifying chemical models for realistic fuels using skeletal mechanism construction and Quasi Steady-State Approximation (QSSA) applied to detailed reaction mechanisms. To automate the selection of species for removal or approximation, different indices for species ranking have thus been proposed. READ MORE
