Electron injection from the transition metal complex Ru(dcbpy)(2)(NCS)(2) (dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) into a titanium dioxide nanocrystalline film occurs on the femto- and picosecond time scales. Here we show that the dominating part of the electron transfer proceeds extremely rapidly from the initially populated, vibronically nonthermalized, singlet excited state, prior to electronic

Non-ionic, water-soluble, contrast media, iohexol and/or iodixanol, have been investigated for use in acrylic bone cement aimed for arthroplasty. Bone cement, containing the new particulate contrast media , was investigated for: quasi-static mechanical properties, water uptake properties, release of contrast media from the bone cement, biological responses from particulate bone cement, polymerisa

A 0.5-liter optical HCCI engine firing a mixture of n-heptane (50%) and iso-octane (50%) with air/fuel ratio of 3 is studied using large eddy simulation (LES) and laser diagnostics. Formaldehyde and OH LIF and in-cylinder pressure were measured in the experiments to characterize the ignition process. The LES made use of a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism that consists of 233 species and 2019 re

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgångspunkt tas från den senmesolitiska boplatsen vid Motala ström, Motala stad, Östergötland, Sverige. Problematiken som diskuteras i texten utgår från frågeställningarna vad som formade de materiella uttrycken under en 500-årig tidsperiod, 5500-5000 f.Kr, dokumenterade genom arkeologiska undersökningar. Texten i avhandlingen är i analysen strukturerad i This dissertation focuses on the Strandvägen site located in the town of Motala, Östergötland, Sweden. The problem concerns what shaped the material expressions on the site during 5500?5000 B.C. For reasons of text structure the space outside the settlement site (the home) is divided into the world, the district, and the neighbourhood. These spatial concepts are finally brought together in the syn

Due to the strongly kinetic nature of the chemical events leading to the formation of mesoscopically ordered inorganic-surfactant composite materials, detailed studies on the interdependency between the degree of inorganic condensation and the co-operative self-assembly is difficult to perform. We have therefore undertaken a study where organic polyelectrolytes are used as models for the inorganic

Two photoproducts of DNA damage, i.e. cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs), induced by UV-B radiation in suspension-cultured tobacco cells were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with monoclonal antibodies. CPDs and 6-4PPs were induced in tobacco cells by UV-B radiation. Photorepair of CPDs was faster than that of 6-4PPs. UV-B radiation induces f

A fundamental assumption of theories of decision-making is that we detect mismatches between intention and outcome, adjust our behavior in the face of error, and adapt to changing circumstances. Is this always the case? We investigated the relation between intention, choice, and introspection. Participants made choices between presented face pairs on the basis of attractiveness, while we covertly

The CEDAR collaboration is developing a set of tools for tuning and validating theoretical models by comparing the predictions of event generators with data from particle physics experiments. CEDAR is also constructing resources to provide access to well defined versions of high-energy physics software and support for software developers. Here we give an overview of the CEDAR project and its statu

Background. Bioincompatible glucose degradation products (GDPs) in fluids for peritoneal dialysis (PD) develop during sterilization and storage. Their biological activity has successfully been monitored through the use of various in vitro methods but their molecular and chemical nature is less well understood. Many GDPs are highly reactive carbonyl compounds. Although some of the identified GDPs a
