1. 1. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics

   Författare :Tom W. Adawi; Jon Ogborn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; M-theory; p-branes; supersymmetry; duality; heat and temperature; phenomenography; context; Physics Education Research; Fysik; Fysikens didaktik; Physics; Fysik; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with research in both physics and physics education, and is divided into two parts.Part IString theory has been the leading candidate over the past few years for a theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of nature. LÄS MER

3. 2. Vardagens könsinnebörder under förhandling : om arbete, familj och produktion av kvinnlighet

   Författare :Eva Magnusson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; gender; work-family conflict; women s everyday lives; organizational change; discourse analysis; modes of understanding; social constructionism; life history; feminist psychology;

   Sammanfattning : The subject of this study was Swedish women's experiences of their everyday lives as lived between the demands of work and family. Twenty female civil servants were interviewed six times each over a three and a half year period when their work places underwent organizational changes. LÄS MER

4. 3. Machining properties of wood : Tool wear, cutting force and tensioning of blades

   Författare :Luis Cristovao; Frieder Scholz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Cutting processes, in general, and wood cutting processes, in particular, are complex to explain and describe with many influencing factors. Wood, in contrast to man-made fabricated materials, is not a homogenous and distinct material, but a multifaceted and nonhomogeneous biological material. LÄS MER

5. 4. Schooling Emotional Intelligence Through Narrative and Dialogue. Implications for the education of children and adolescents

   Författare :Martina Campart; Utbildningsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Arbetspsykologi; Industrial psychology; epistemic analysis; narrative modes of knowing; narrative modes of thought; modes of learning; conversation; applied psychoanalysis; Emotions; emotional intelligence; industripsykologi; Pedagogy and didactics; Pedagogik; didaktik;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract The point of departure for this study is the author's experience as educator in a residential home for children (age 6-14) with social-emotional problems, in Italy, between 1980 and 1989. One important element of the pedagogical approach was the use of narratives (personal, of others, of fiction) to prompt children's interest/ motivation to reflect about issues of personal concern.

7. 5. Analysis and control of transitional shear flows using global modes

   Författare :Shervin Bagheri; Dan Henningson; Alessandro Bottaro; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluid mechanics; flow control; hydrodynamic stability; global modes; jet in crossflow; flat-plate boundary layer; laminar-turbulent transition; Arnoldi method; Koopman modes; balanced truncation; direct numerical simulations.; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis direct numerical simulations are used to investigate two phenomenain shear flows: laminar-turbulent transition over a flat plate and periodicvortex shedding induced by a jet in cross flow. The emphasis is on understanding and controlling the flow dynamics using tools from dynamical systems and control theory. LÄS MER
