- A fully instrumented slice of the ATLAS detector was exposed to test beams from the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) at CERN in 2004. In this paper, the results of the measurements of the response of the barrel calorimeter to hadrons with energies in the range 20-350 GeV and beam impact points and angles corresponding to pseudo-rapidity values in the range 0.2-0.65 are reported. The results are compared to the predictions of a simulation program using the Geant 4 toolkit. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

2021 roadmap for sodium-ion batteries

- Increasing concerns regarding the sustainability of lithium sources, due to their limited availability and consequent expected price increase, have raised awareness of the importance of developing alternative energy-storage candidates that can sustain the ever-growing energy demand. Furthermore, limitations on the availability of the transition metals used in the manufacturing of cathode materials, together with questionable mining practices, are driving development towards more sustainable elements. Given the uniformly high abundance and cost-effectiveness of sodium, as well as its very suitable redox potential (close to that of lithium), sodium-ion battery technology offers tremendous potential to be a counterpart to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in different application scenarios, such as stationary energy storage and low-cost vehicles. This potential is reflected by the major investments that are being made by industry in a wide variety of markets and in diverse material combinations. Despite the associated advantages of being a drop-in replacement for LIBs, there are remarkable differences in the physicochemical properties between sodium and lithium that give rise to different behaviours, for example, different coordination preferences in compounds, desolvation energies, or solubility of the solid-electrolyte interphase inorganic salt components. This demands a more detailed study of the underlying physical and chemical processes occurring in sodium-ion batteries and allows great scope for groundbreaking advances in the field, from lab-scale to scale-up. This roadmap provides an extensive review by experts in academia and industry of the current state of the art in 2021 and the different research directions and strategies currently underway to improve the performance of sodium-ion batteries. The aim is to provide an opinion with respect to the current challenges and opportunities, from the fundamental properties to the practical applications of this technology.

- Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion lacksdirect ignition timing control, instead the auto ignition depends on the operatingcondition. Since auto ignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitive tooperating condition a fast combustion timing control is necessary for reliableoperation, the ignition timing control design requiring appropriate modelsand system output variables for its feedback design. This paper demonstratesthe use of system modeling and identification as a means to find modelsrelevant to the engine control. The identification methods used were varioussubspace-based methods. An LQG controller was designed based on the estimatedmodels and tested on a six-cylinder heavy duty engine running in HCCI operation.

Closed-loop System Identification of an HCCI Engine
- 2004

Ingår i: Advances in Automotive Control. - 0080442501 ; 37:22, s. 239-244

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising but challenging combustion engine concept. The potential for good fuel economy and low emissions is high but the transient performance required for automotive applications presents a few problems still to be solved. The focus of this work is identification of the process dynamics. An ARX type model is fitted to input-output data. A method applicable under closed-loop control is suggested and demonstrated. The resulting models are evaluated in terms of the repeatability of model characteristics, prediction accuracy, residual characteristics and comparison to spectral models is made.

Acoustic trapping of cells in a microfluidic format
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of µTAS 2005 Conference. ; 1, s. 515-517

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents, for the first time, non-contact acoustic trapping of cells in a microfluidic format. The employed acoustic force maintains the cells in the center of a fluidic channel while allowing for perfusion of e.g. nutrients or drugs as well as optical monitoring of the cells. Neural stem cells have been acoustically trapped and tested for viability after 15 minutes of ultrasonic radiation. It is also shown that it is possible to grow yeast cells suspended in an acoustic standing wave while perfusing with cell media.

Temperature evaluation of soft and hard PZT transducers for ultrasonic
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of µTAS 2005 Conference. ; 2, s. 1428-1430
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports a comparison of soft and hard piezoceramic transducer materials used for ultrasonic particle trapping in a microfluidic bioanalytical platform. The investigation is made with the objective to obtain high acoustic forces with a minimum of temperature increase. Themperature is a critical parameter for bioassays and most often need to be kept below a certain level to allow handling of e.g. temperature sensitive proteins. The main conclusion in this paper is that it is possible to get efficieint trapping with a temperature increase of only a few degrees using a hard type III transducer material.

Magnetic, Structural, and Particle Size Analysis of Single- and Multi-Core Magnetic Nanoparticles
- 2014
-
Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. - 0018-9464 .- 1941-0069. ; 50:11

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have measured and analyzed three different commercial magnetic nanoparticle systems, both multi-core and single-core in nature, with the particle (core) size ranging from 20 to 100 nm. Complementary analysis methods and same characterization techniques were carried out in different labs and the results are compared with each other. The presented results primarily focus on determining the particle size-both the hydrodynamic size and the individual magnetic core size-as well as magnetic and structural properties. The used analysis methods include transmission electron microscopy, static and dynamic magnetization measurements, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. We show that particle (hydrodynamic and core) size parameters can be determined from different analysis techniques and the individual analysis results agree reasonably well. However, in order to compare size parameters precisely determined from different methods and models, it is crucial to establish standardized analysis methods and models to extract reliable parameters from the data.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This work presents an extension of a design procedure for dynamic output feedback design for systems with nonlinearities satisfying quadratic constraints. In this work we used an axial gas compressor model described by the 3-state Moore-Greitzer compressor model (MG) that has some challenges for output feedback control design (Planovsky and Nikolaev 1990), (Rubanova 2013). The more general constraints for the investigation of the robustness with respect to parametric uncertainties and measurement noise are shown.
