Full textParticulate emissions from a spark ignition engine are highly variable. The equivalent ratio of the air/fuel mixture is not sufficient to perfectly define the characterisation function of these emissions. Tests have highlighted the importance of the phenomenon of oil scavenging by the blowby gases on the particulate emissions. This is due to the position of the piston rings which rotate continuously around their grooves. The particle emission characterisation function was completed taking into account these new conditions. Then, the creation of a blowby gas simulation model in GTsuite allowed the characterisation of these flows and the understanding of these mechanisms. For example, at idle conditions, oil accumulates on the piston crown. Experimental tests confirmed the importance of the idling time on particle emissions. Finally, the impact of oil and oil filter ageing on particulate emissions was investigated. An "oil + filter" assembly aged under real conditions has a particle emission rate twice as high as a new assembly. Finally, this work has allowed to complete the particle emission characterisation function in order to be more in line with the real operating conditions of a spark ignition engine

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a chemical synthesis of a [5,5] carbon nanotube endcap. Three different projects were undertaken in an effort to realize this goal. The first was the production of appreciable quantities of tetrabromocorannulene, a precursor to the endcap. The second was an exploration of a proof of principle C44H14 bowl, and the third was the development of a boronic acid that would add functionality to tetrabromocorannulene, and ultimately a bowl

Resumo: Este trabalho consiste em uma leitura de Fim de Partida, de Samuel Beckett, construída a partir da hipótese de que esta peça, com o que pode ser definido como uma recusa sistemática a tudo o que lhe venha de fora, é capaz de integrar à sua própria estrutura formal os impasses gerados pelas tentativas de interpretá-la, em um movimento que paradoxalmente fortalece cada vez mais sua lógica interna à medida que a interpretação é negada. Ao longo de três capítulos, busca-se investigar as diferentes ramificações dessa ideia como forma de esboçar a posição-limite na qual a peça se encontra: no primeiro capítulo, a hipótese em questão é desenvolvida a partir da leitura de alguns objetos de Fim de Partida, e a partir disso se argumenta que os personagens se aproximam mais de seus objetos fraturados e ausentes do que de pessoas; no segundo, a condição desses personagens é desenvolvida no sentido de um confronto entre duas formas de temporalidade, a progressão e a circularidade, submetidas ao mesmo princípio de escassez que atravessa outros níveis da peça; no terceiro capítulo, a hipótese central é a de que em Endgame são colocados em questão diversos procedimentos do humor de forma altamente destrutiva, e a significação retroativa que seus destroços passam a ter adquirido nesse processo podem ser extrapolados de modo a produzir um pequeno vislumbre, de dentro da própria peça, tanto de seu estatuto de obra de arte, quanto de sua relação complexa com a tradição
Abstract: This work consists in a reading of Samuel Beckett's Endgame built upon the hypothesis that the play, through what can be defined as a deliberate exclusion of everything external to it, is capable of integrating the resulting deadlocks from the attempts of its interpretation to its own formal structure, in a paradoxical movement that strengthens the play's internal logic through the denial of interpretation. Throughout three chapters, this work aims to explore different ramifications of that idea in order to outline the boundary represented by the play: in the first chapter, the interpretative hypothesis is developed upon a reading of the objects of Endgame, culminating in the idea that its characters are closer to the absent and fractured objects that they demand than to proper persons; in the second chapter, their condition is developed in the sense of a confrontation between two forms of temporality, progression and circularity, which are submitted to the same principle of scarcity that penetrates other levels of the play; in the third chapter, the central hypothesis is that Endgame puts into question some procedures of humor in a highly destructive manner, and that the retroactive meaning acquired by the resulting ruins of this process may be extrapolated into a glimpse, from within the play itself, both of its status as a work of art and of its complex relationship with tradition

The pencil shoulder cutting device is a stepper motor driven mechanism to cut a small groove into the end of a pencil, which is needed for a novel seed-capsule endcap for a new pencil called Sprout. The pencil was developed by a team of MIT graduate students, and the shoulder cutting device is one step in an automated assembly process for Sprout. The device autonomously cuts a 0.0075in. deep shoulder into one end of the pencil using a 0.25in. end mill. The device includes a stabilizing sleeve that reduces vibration of the pencil during machining, and creates a vacuum seal so that chips from the pencil are cleanly removed. The cutting time for each pencil is 2s, with an absolute accuracy of 3.1x10-4 in. for the depth of cut after ten tests with the machine. The capsules fit correctly onto the shoulders when done by hand, and the design will be confirmed once the entire machine is running autonomously.

Full textThe Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency is Africa’s oldest, lasting for over 25 years. This work studies the LRA to find out why it has survived so long and how. A combination of empirical methods was used to analyze data related to the LRA and the countries affected by the LRA insurgency. The findings show that the LRA prolonged its insurgency by taking advantage of its environment, including elevation, watered areas, the road network, land cover, proximity to state capital, and moderate population density. The LRA also exploited the political situations in the region, such as the rivalry between Uganda and Sudan, and the fragility of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Sudan. Last, the LRA modified its organizational structure according to the political and military situations it encountered, which enabled it to adapt and evade the threat of termination. The effectiveness of these methods of survival depended on the intuition of the LRA leadership. The author recommends both kinetic methods to manhunt LRA leaders and non-kinetic (psychological) operations to degrade the LRA’s strength by encouraging mass defections from its ranks.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 101-102).
Studying and understanding acoustic scattering pattern from underwater targets has been of interest to various communities such as the archeologists and the navy for several reasons and applications. The present state-of-the-art technique in this area involves such methods as analytical approach and FEM/BEM numerical technique. This thesis aims to study and demonstrate the power of using the hybrid virtual source/FE approach where the physical presence of a target is replaced by virtual sources placed in the vicinity of the target and in a manner where the pressure/displacement relationship on the target surface is satisfied by the virtual sources when the target is being insonified. Accurate results for the far-field radiation of the target can be obtained by superposition of the point source Green's function of each virtual source. The hybrid virtual source/FE approach shows potential to be a computationally efficient method for computing acoustic scattering. The derivation of the dynamic flexibility matrix for an elastic conical shell with endcaps will be illustrated in this thesis. It will be shown that the dynamic flexibility matrix corresponds to the acoustic admittance matrix in the virtual source approach where the scattering functions are computed in the MIT's program OASES/SCATT.
(cont.) Moreover, the benchmarking and validation of the approach will be conducted with the hybrid analytical/ virtual source approach. Firstly, the approach predicts natural frequencies close to the theoretical analysis for higher order modes with more than 2 circumferential transverse vibration lobes. Secondly, it produces displacement profile that conforms to analytical results. The scattering functions are also in agreement those computed by the hybrid analytical/ virtual source approach, with discrepancies observed at lower frequencies. In exact terms, discrepancies start to appear for frequency in the range of 1000 to 2000 Hz for a 0.01m thick, 2 m long, 0.3m radius steel cylinder without endcaps. The scattering functions will be compared with the SCATT/OASES virtual source approach for pressure release and rigid cylinders and cones. For the hybrid FE/virtual source approach, the structural sound speed and density approach zero and infinity for pressure-release and rigid target respectively. On the other hand, in the SCATT/OASES virtual source approach, the pressure and displacement are required to vanish on the target surface respectively. It will be shown that the two approaches agree with each other.
(cont.) Moreover, scattering functions over steel cones and cylinders for various frequencies have also been derived in this research. The results will be interpreted physically and theoretically in this thesis. The importance of including structural damping in the finite element formulation of the target so as to reflect the effect of resonance on scattering will be illustrated. Other issues, such as effect of target orientations on scattering, will also be investigated in this thesis. The code has shown good potential for adaptation to compute scattering over other axisymmteric shapes using conical shells and circular plates as building blocks and the hybrid FE/ virtual source approach.

Full textBakgrund: Under 1990-talet har företag outsourcat allt fler funktioner för att kunna koncentrera sig på sin kärnkompetens och därigenom öka sin konkurrenskraft. Även om nackdelarna med detta diskuteras, har dock argumenten för outsourcing tydligt dominerat debatten kring huruvida företag bör lägga ut aktiviteter på en tredje part eller inte. Det är först under senare år som röster har höjts för att outsourcing inte alltid är att likställa med vägen till framgång. Att debatten kring kärnkompetens och outsourcing så starkt fokuserat på fördelarna med att lägga ut aktiviteter på en tredje part innebär dock att denna debatt har varit och fortfarande är relativt ensidig.
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att, med utgångspunkt från ett fysiskt distributionsperspektiv, utveckla en mer nyanserad bild av debatten kring kärnkompetens och outsourcing med avseende på skapandet av konkurrensfördelar.
Genomförande: Studien baseras på kvalitativ information inhämtad genom åtta intervjuer på fyra olika företag. Gemensam nämnare för dessa företag är att de har valt att inte outsourca hela eller delar av sin fysiska distribution även om denna inte är en del av deras egentliga kärnkompetens.
Resultat: De mest framträdande argumenten hos de studerade företagen mot att outsourca hela eller delar av den fysiska distributionen är negativ påverkan på kundrelationen och servicen. Vidare kan valet att inte outsourca skapa konkurrensfördelar ur såväl ett service- som kostnadsperspektiv. Den fysiska distributionen betraktas således som en källa till konkurrensfördelar trots att den inte är en del av den egentliga kärnkompetensen. Då vår studie även visar att kärnkompetensen inte räcker för att skapa värde för kunden anser vi att man vid ett outsourcingbeslut bör koncentrera sig på vad som skapar konkurrensfördelar, oavsett om detta är en del av den egentliga kärnkompetensen eller inte.

Full textThere are performed 1,5 million operations on a yearly basis in Sweden and still today are a lot of people waiting for their scheduled surgery. Waiting for surgery is something many patients will be experiencing and waitinglists for surgery can be long. The experience of waiting for surgery and strategies for manage the waiting time was different between the individuals. The aim of the study is to describe patients’ experience of waiting for surgery. The study was conducted by reviewing nine qualitative research articles. The results demonstrates patients' experience of waiting and the waiting process before surgery generated both positive and negative feelings. Articles subcategories created the main categories that were living in standby and sense of hope. Some of the negative feelings that were experienced were frustration and pain. The positive experience of waiting included support and health. To manage the wait, different stratergies were used and supporting was important. Patients were looking for support in terms of information from both families and healthcare professionals. Wait is a concept that with more research could provide a more clear picture of what waiting is and what it means for the patients who are in the middle of the waiting process for a surgical procedure.

Full textThis paper examines the Sami peoples representation in Swedish newspapers. Previous research show that news media holds a growing power in affecting how different groups are perceived and being treated in today’s society. It shows how indigenous people and minorities are limited in the news media and portrayed in a homogeneous and biased way. This study examines to which extent the Sami population is being seen in the Swedish news media, what kind of Sami related news that are being reported and, how the Sami people are being presented. The method used to answer the thesis questions is a content analysis with complementary qualitative and quantitative elements. Articles published in three Swedish newspapers during the period of one year have in this study been examined. The result indicates that Sami culture is given a lot of space in the reported news, while other important events and questions concerning the Sami people are less visible. The result is analyzed on the basis of postcolonial theory, and connection could thus be distinguished between Sweden's historical relationship with the Sami population and the media's presentation of the group.

Full textIn terms of society as a whole and in industries and whole sectors; change is constant. Additionally, a known problem is that change may create resistance among individuals and groups. Since people are the foundation of all organisations it means that one of the major challenges of change management is to get supportive behaviour from the organisation. At the same time behavioural sciences has identified numerous factors that influence people's behaviour. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to identify and explain factors that are possible to influence and which triggers constructive behaviour in change processes. The theory foundation consists of research and literature in behavioural sciences and change management which initially resulted in six selected factors. Based on that frame of reference a case study of an extensive change process has been conducted with a total of four interviews with heads of units, as well as one interview with an external consultant in change management. In addition, employee surveys with data from more than 1,000 respondents from 2011, 2013 and 2015 has been used. The case company is Xmentor Management AB with focus on when their customer Trafikverket, the Transport Administration of Sweden, created National and Regional Operational Management. The findings show that the six selected factors are able to trigger constructive behaviour in change processes. Three of the factors are also possible to influence to a great extent. The three main conclusions are to maximize rewards on an individual level, to create effective communication to everyone in the organization, as well as to offer the possibility of co-creation.

Full textThe right kind of democracy – an ideology analysis of school literatures description of the term democracy.
Writers: Fredrik Hedlund & Mattias Ahlqvist
Democracy is today a word and a concept that in many ways is taken for granted and almost never is reflected on. The concept democracy is also considered as an essential issue in the swedish school system, both regarding the way the education should be managed and also as a part of the students democratic schooling – all according to the comprehensive document Läroplanen för de frivilliga skolformerna (Lpf94).
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how swedish literature in political and social science talks about and looks upon democracy – what do the books say it means?
The materials we have chosen for this report are the books Zigma and Forum. As metod we are using a textual ideology analysis in which we have created three dimensions – meaning/associations, criticism of democracy, and demos/citizenship.
