    Abstract : Soft matter, here, liquids and polymers, have adaptability to a surrounding geometry. They intrinsically have advantageous characteristics from a mechanical perspective, such as flowing and wetting on surrounding surfaces, giving compliant, conformal and deformable behavior.

  4. 2. Hard & Soft : The Male Detective´s Body in Contemporary European Crime Fiction

    Author : Tiina Mäntymäki; Frank Baasner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : popular culture; crime fiction; gender; masculinity; male body; detektivromaner; manlighet; mansbilden; kropp; litteraturvetenskap; genus; historia; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : In the thesis popular culture is treated as an important site of meaningcreation and crime fiction is studied as a social technology, as producing and reproducing strategies of engendering.The thesis is a comparative study of six crime fiction detectives from fiveEuropean countries: Sweden, Finland, Scotland, Spain, and Italy.

  5. 3. Liquid metal microscale deposition for soft and stretchable skin-like electronics : Providing a soft and gentle contact to living beings

    Author : Bei Wang; Klas Hjort; Zhigang Wu; Magnus Berggren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laser patterning; sacrificial mask; liquid metal; strain sensor; skin movement; masking; shrink film; 3D conformal masking; liquid metal particles; soft electronics; stretchable electronics; compliant electronics; skin-like electronics; epidermal electronics; micro-heater; particle sintering; enteroendocrine cells; localized ectopic expression; wettability; flexography printing; conformal transfer printing; hydro printing; plant physiology; drosophila;

    Abstract : Skin-like electronics could provide a soft and gentle contact with living beings for perceiving and delivering the information of pressure, strain, temperature with higher spatial resolution and sensitivity than our skin, without disturbing the user. Gallium-based liquid metal (LM) is an excellent material for soft and stretchable skin-like devices, since it has high electrical and thermal conductivity, flowability, and self-healable capability.

  6. 4. Jamming and Soft-Core Rheology

    Author : Daniel Vågberg; Peter Olsson; Teitel Stephen; Vitelli Vincenzo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; jamming; rheology; soft matter; granular material; SLLOD; critical point; critical scaling;

    Abstract : Many different physical systems, such as granular materials, colloids, foams and emulsions exhibit a jamming transition where the system changes from a liquid-like flowing state to a solid jammed state as the packing fraction increases. These systems are often modeled using soft-core particles with repulsive contact forces. READ MORE

  7. 5. Soft measures to shift modality

    Author : Alfred Söderberg; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Soft transport measures; Modal shift; Innovation; ICT; E-bikes; Segmentation; Motivation; Evaluation;

    Abstract : Traffic accumulated by cars is responsible for considerable problems in our cities. The problem is partly about the negative effects on human health due to harmful particulate emissions, noise, traffic accidents and sedentary lifestyles, partly about the space it occupies, which leads to congestion, and the fact that valuable land is taken up by road infrastructure and parking lots.
