   Sammanfattning : Eliciting wheelchair-seated passengers’ perspective of safety and comfort is both useful and mandatory, particularly for researchers, clinicians, transit authorities, and for operators during purchase and use of vehicle technologies in existing and planned future transport systems. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived by wheelchair-seated passengers using public transport road vehicles. LÄS MER

3. 7. Too close for comfort : The role of Contact-Dependent growth Inhibition (CDI) in interbacterial competition and cooperation

   Författare :Marcus Wäneskog; Sanna Koskiniemi; Paul Rainey; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial interactions; cell-cell binding; contact-dependent growth inhibition; CDI; CdiB; CdiA; CdiI; outer-membrane receptor; BamA; OmpC; OmpF; extracellular toxin delivery; Toxin-Antitoxin; TA-system; persister cells; stress tolerance; stress response; rpoS; rssB; quorum sensing; multicellular behavior; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

   Sammanfattning : Contact-Dependent growth inhibition (CDI) was discovered in 2005 in the E. coli isolate EC93. Since then our knowledge of CDI systems and their impact on bacterial communities have increased exponentially. LÄS MER

4. 8. EVALUATION OF ACOUSTIC COMFORT IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS

   Författare :Nikolas Vardaxis; Teknisk akustik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustic comfort; field measurements; noise annoyance; subjective responses;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns assessment of acoustic comfort in apartment buildings. A new approach is followed, beyond noise annoyance investigation, which was the typical path so far. The latter involved acoustic descriptors, which characterize the structural components, being associated to self-reported noise annoyance. LÄS MER

5. 9. Factors Governing Acoustical Comfort In Vehicle Compartments

   Författare :Oliver Jung; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driving Noise; Lombard Effect; Sound Quality; Psychoacoustics; Acoustical Comfort; Emotions; Vehicle Acoustics; Speech Communication; Cognition Psychology; Speech Quality;

   Sammanfattning : A pleasant interior sound field is an essential comfort criterion for vehicle occupants.The pleasantness is mainly influenced by a low overall sound pressurelevel. Further minimization of driving noise, however, is constricted on thelower end by physical limitations. LÄS MER

7. 10. Extensive green roofs in Porto Alegre, Brazil : Effect on indoor thermal comfort in residential buildings

   Författare :Lisandra Fachinello Krebs; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Computer simulations; Extensive green roofs; Housing projects; Indoor thermal comfort; Leaf area index; Microclimate; Social housing; Sustainability; Thermal comfort;

   Sammanfattning : Brazil had a significant quantitative housing deficit of 7.7 million residences in 2015, especially in low-income housing. Traditionally, these projects have low levels of thermal insulation which can result in discomfort caused by warmth or cold. The residential sector is responsible for a significant part of the energy use in Brazil. LÄS MER
