EISCAT_3D - a next-generation European radar system for upper atmosphere and geospace research
- 2010

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The EISCAT Scientifi c Association, together with a number of collaborating institutions, has recently completed a feasibility and design study for an enhanced performance research radar facility to replace the existing EISCAT UHF and VHF systems. This study was supported by EU Sixth-Framework funding. The new radar retains the powerful multi-static geometry of the EISCAT UHF, but will employ phased arrays, direct-sampling receivers, and digital beamforming and beam steering. Design goals include, inter alia, a tenfold improvement in temporal and spatial resolution, an extension of the instantaneous measurement of full-vector ionospheric drift velocities from a single point to the entire altitude range of the radar, and an imaging capability to resolve small-scale structures. Prototype receivers and beamformers are currently being tested on a 48-element, 224 MHz array (the "Demonstrator") erected at the Kiruna EISCAT site, using the EISCAT VHF transmitter as an illuminator.

- In this work, we evaluate the detection performance of a number of commercial interference detectors and, in addition, of a detector that uses the automatic gain control (AGC) levels as test statistic. The AGC detector has been implemented on a Novatel GPS receiver and on a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). The evaluations are based on actual measurements of GPS signals and different types of jamming signals, which have been performed at the Vidsel test range in northern Sweden. The AGC detector was shown to work well for all types of jamming signals, in particular the one implemented on the USRP. The Chronos CTL-3500 was also shown to perform quite well for all kinds of signals, although not as good as the USRP with an AGC detector. Quite surprisingly, the J-alert was only able to detect the wideband (20 MHz) signal but not the narrow band (<2MHz) signals. By contrast, the jamming indicator on the Ublox 6 receiver was only able to detect a slowly varying modulated CW (MCW) signal, but not the signals with larger bandwidth (2 and 20 MHz). We confirmed that C/N0-based detectors could work well in a static scenario, but are not suitable in a dynamic scenario, since they cannot distinguish between decreased GPS signal strength (e.g. indoors) and an increased interference level.

Researching Lean: Methodological Implications of Loose Definitions

- Recently, Lean Production (Lean) has become a prevailing management concept in Sweden. However, previous research seems to show that the Lean concept and the impact of Lean vary considerably between organizations. This paper illustrates some key methodological issues that need to be considered when researching loosely defined management concepts such as Lean. The paper is based on a review of the literature and five comparative Swedish cases studies. Our study indicates that Lean has changed over time and that operationalization and interpretations of the concept vary considerably. This study concludes that future Lean studies should include a thorough assessment of the Lean interventions, study settings, and in particular non-Lean factors mediating the outcomes of Lean-inspired change programs.

Acylation of agricultural protein biomass yields biodegradable superabsorbent plastics
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are a central component of hygiene and medical products requiring high liquid swelling, but these SAP are commonly derived from petroleum resources. Here, we show that sustainable and biodegradable SAP can be produced by acylation of the agricultural potato protein side-stream (PPC) with a non-toxic dianhydride (EDTAD). Treatment of the PPC yields a material with a water swelling capacity of ca. 2400%, which is ten times greater than the untreated PPC. Acylation was also performed on waste potato fruit juice (PFJ), i.e. before the industrial treatment to precipitate the PPC. The use of PFJ for the acylation implies a saving of 320 000 tons as CO2 in greenhouse gas emissions per year by avoiding the industrial drying of the PFJ to obtain the PPC. The acylated PPC shows biodegradation and resistance to mould growth. The possibilities to produce a biodegradable SAP from the PPC allows for future fabrication of environment-friendly and disposable daily-care products, e.g. diapers and sanitary pads.

Lateral-torsional buckling of continuous bridge girders

- The resistance of bridge girders with respect to lateral-torsional buckling at support is strongly influenced by the moment gradient. In most design methods this influence is taken into account by the use of a correct critical bending moment in the slenderness parameter λ. This critical moment is influenced by the shape of the moment diagram as well as the distortion of the cross-section and the restraint from the web and stiffeners, if any. In this paper, a method for the calculation of the critical moment is presented. A further effect of the moment gradient is that the stresses due to lateral bending of the flange in connection with lateral-torsional buckling does not coincide with the maximum of stresses caused by bending in the vertical plane. This is taken into account by performing the check for lateral-torsional buckling in a design section at some distance from the support. A design procedure based on this concept has been introduced in Eurocode 3 Part 2: Steel Bridges

Naturally-occurring bromophenol to develop fire retardant gluten biopolymers
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Cleaner Production. - : Elsevier. - 0959-6526 .- 1879-1786. ; 243
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the study was to impart fire retardancy in wheat gluten polymer through naturally-occurring additives such as lanosol. The fire properties of lanosol were compared with two other conventional brominated fire retardants (Tetrabromobisphenol A and Hexabromocyclododecane). Samples containing fire retardants and gluten were prepared through compression moulding process and then characterised for their fire and mechanical properties. All fire retardants enhanced the reaction-to-fire and thermal properties of gluten while generating V-0 (i.e. vertical position and self-extinguished) ratings in the UL-94 test. The presence of all the fire retardants increased the modulus of the gluten polymer but the fire retardant particles were detrimental for the tensile strength. Nevertheless, lanosol addition delayed ignition and lowered peak heat release rate of gluten by the maximum amount, thereby leading to relatively higher fire performance index (compared to the other fire retardants). Lanosol also allowed the gluten to create a dense char barrier layer during burning that impeded the transfer of heat and flammable volatiles. The fact that only 4 wt% lanosol was able to cause self-extinguishment under direct flame and reduce peak heat release rate by a significant 50% coupled with its inherent occurrence in nature, raises the question if lanosol can be a potential fire retardant in polymeric systems, although it is a bromophenol.
