The duration of P fertiliser in acid forest soil was investigated in a Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) forest in southcentral Sweden. The fertilisation of the soil started in 1967, but no P has been applied since 1988. The N fertilisation is still continuing. Totally, 300 kg P per hectare, as superphosphate, and/or 1090 kg N per hectare, as ammonium nitrate, was applied. Concentrations of both
Recensionav "Kärlek per korrespondens." En analys av kärleksbegreppet och dess innehåll i två brevväxlingar frän senare delen av 1800-talet, skrivna av två par ur borgerligheten. En undersökning av vad det innebar att initiera och bygga upp en kärleksrelation, så som det tar sig uttryck i brev.

This thesis consists of three essays discussing institutional change and its effects. It distinguishes between economic and political institutions, and highlights the need for broader empirical efforts that consider interactions among different types of institutions. The first essay titled Effect of Trade and Political Institutions on Economic Institutions explores the relationship between trade a
An architecture for RF quadrature oscillators is presented, which, according to simulations, shows a figure of merit some 20 dB higher than that of other quadrature oscillators. The new quadrature oscillator compares favourably even with a state-of-the-art design of the popular negative-resistance differential oscillator
Konceptet att sågtandande polyper kan leda till kolorektal cancer är relativt nytt. Sågtandade polyper orsakar upp till en tredjedel av all sporadisk kolorektal cancer. Trots detta är kunskaperna om sågtandade polypers etiologi, incidens, prevalens och naturalförlopp ofullständiga. Sågtandade polyper är svåra att identifiera och ta bort endoskopiskt. Endoskopister och patologer måste ha kunska
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to detect and quantify multiple metabolites. This chapter will review some of the applications of MRS to the study of brain functions. Typically, (1)H-MRS can detect metabolites reflecting neuronal density and integrity, markers of energy metabolism or inflammation, as well as neurotransmitters. The complexity of th
Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most significant bacterial pathogens in the human population mostly causing superficial and uncomplicated infections (pharyngitis and impetigo) but also invasive and life-threatening disease. We have previously identified a virulence determinant, protein sHIP, which is secreted at higher levels by an invasive compared to a non-invasive strain of S. pyogenes. Th
