Increasing the drying efficiency of cylinder drying
2011
This PhD Thesis concentrates on paper drying: first on the drying rate in a cylinder covered with fabric, enhanced using hot air impingement through the fabric, and its potential effects on paper quality, and second, on the heat transfer rate from hot steam to paper through the cylinder shell. Cylinder drying is a drying method where a heated surface in contact with paper causes water removal from the latter by evaporation. Impingement through the fabric of hot air has been suggested to cause increase in the water removal and drying of paper. Increase in the drying rate by impingement of hot air was confirmed by laboratory tests and by simulations. In laboratory tests the increase in the dr…

Sovellusten vuorovaikutuskyky ja taito analysoida ympäristöstä tulevaa tietoa tähtää älykkäämpään ja tehokkaampaan palvelujen suunnitteluun ja toimintaan. FM Nataliya Kohvakon väitös käsittelee kontekstien eli asiayhteyksien mallintamista ja käyttöä tulevaisuuden monimuotoisissa verkkoympäristöissä.Väitöstyö esittelee uuden interaktiivisen päättelymenetelmän, jonka avulla käyttäjäsovellus saa tietojärjestelmältä kontekstitietoa ja tutkittuaan sen sisällön sovellus pyytää tarvittaessa lisää informaatiota. Tiedonkäsittelytekniikan oletuksena on, että sovellus ei tiedä etukäteen minkälaista tietoa on tarjolla ja että lähettävä tietojärjestelmä ei tiedä minkälaista tietoa sovellus haluaa. Uutta…

Project Education and Adams’ Theory of Equity
2020
This work-in-progress paper in research category is concerned with students’ perceptions of justice in software engineering group projects. Taking a directed content analysis approach, the aim is to analyze the relevance of Adams’ theory of Equity for small-group project education. The analysis was applied to the data collected from a third-year project course in which students encounter an open-ended group assignment. The results indicate that the theory can serve as a useful framework that helps teachers to identify justice-related issues in project courses. On the other hand, it was concluded that special carefulness is advisable considering the simplicity of the theory. peerReviewed
Morning and smooth 24-h ambulatory blood pressure control is not achieved in general practice: results from the SURGE observational study.
2013
BACKGROUND The aim of this large-scale, practice-based observational study [Survey with HBPM and ABPM Under Real clinical conditions in General practice to Evaluate BP control in the early morning (SURGE)] was to ascertain the degree of morning and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) control in hypertensive patients. METHODS Hypertensive patients [with uncontrolled clinic blood pressure (BP) >140/90 mmHg at screening] from nine different countries were included. Ambulatory BP monitoring was performed over 24 h at 15-min intervals during the day and at 20-min intervals during the night. Assessments included morning (0600-1159 h) and daytime ABP control (BP < 135/85 mmHg), and 24-h ABP contr…
The normal circadian pattern of blood pressure: implications for treatment
2004
Blood pressure fluctuates over 24 h following a circadian rhythm that reaches a peak in the morning shortly after awakening. The onset of many acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events shows a synchronous cyclical pattern, with the highest incidence of morbidity and mortality in the early morning hours. Strong, although circumstantial, evidence suggests that the early morning surge in blood pressure may contribute to the onset of acute cardiovascular episodes. Sustained blood pressure control that blunts the early morning blood pressure surge may help to reduce the incidence of these events. Antihypertensive agents are needed that provide smooth and sustained blood pressure control fo…
