Stimulated by the recent observation by LEED that well ordered graphite overlayers may be prepared by heating SiC crystals [1] we have used LEED, STM and UPS (hv = 20-140 eV) to study such layers and compared the photoemission spectra to those we obtain from a natural single crystal. Two results are of particular interest. One is that the overlayers give spectra having a quality well on par with t

This study deals with the problem of Austrian identity in the late Habsburg empire. The investigation departs from an understanding of this problem as situated in the juncture between the historical Austrian imperial experience and the process of modern Austrian identity formation. The Austrian identity is thus approached as the identity problem of the old German-Austrian center of the empire, as

A compact dual-element antenna suitable for ultrawideband (UWB) MIMO operation is proposed in this work. The size of the antenna is 25 mm by 40 mm and it covers the lower UWB band of 3.15-5.15 GHz. Apart from the inherent wideband isolation obtained through the different angle and polarization characteristics in the radiation patterns of the individual elements, the gap between the two antenna ele

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kost, livsstil, antioxidanter och riskfaktorer för cancer De flesta forskare är överens om att våra matvanor spelar en betydande roll för risken att insjukna i cancer. Däremot är forskarna inte överens om vad och hur man bör äta för att förebygga cancer. En populär teori under det senaste decenniet har varit den så kallade antioxidantiahypotesen. Man har förstått att This thesis examines associations between a number of epidemiological or biological markers of cancer risk and oxidative stress, in order to achieve a better understanding of how diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors contribute to the occurrence of oxidative stress. Data from the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort was used. The MDC study is a population-based cohort study which uses a detailed modi

With the use of alkaline membrane fuel cells (AMFCs) there is a possibility to utilize low temperature fuel cell technology without the need of scarce and expensive noble metal catalysts. With this technology there is, however, a need to enhance the stability and ionic conductivity of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) before AMFCs can be a viable alternative to the more studied proton-exchange membr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet i denna avhandling syftar till att förbättra etanolproduktionen från lignocellulosa. Etanol framställd från förnyelsebara råvaror har fått förnyad uppmärksamhet på grund av den växande medvetenheten om den globala uppvärmningen och farhågor för en trytande tillgång på olja. Lignocellulosa utgör en potentiell råmaterialkälla för framtida storskalig etanolproduktiThe work presented in this thesis has been aiming at improving ethanol production from lignocellulose. Ethanol from renewable resources is receiving renewed attention due to apprehensions of global warming and dwindling oil reserves. Lignocellulose constitutes a potential raw material source for large scale ethanol production. To produce ethanol from lignocellulose, the hemicellulose and cellulose

A brief review is given of the development of the Medical Faculty during its 335 years. The last 50 years have seen a remarkable development of the two university hospitals in Lund and Malmö, and a Biomedical centre.

During the past two decades, considerable debate has taken place, particularly in India, on the imbalance in gender ratio and the question of 'missing women.' However, the recent discourses in India have changed the focus from 'missing women' to 'missing girls,' highlighting the precarious situation of female children before birth, at birth, and during childhood. Fetuses have been aborted on a mas

The prevalence of illnesses related to the modern diet and a more sedentary lifestyle has increased markedly over the last few decades. There is therefore a need for effective strategies to promote health and to reduce the prevalence of diet-related diseases. In this paper, we study the willingness to pay for a new concept, healthy canteen takeaways. In the analysis, we depart from a household pro

Projektet hade som mål att introducera ett simuleringsprogram redan i andra årskursen. Initiativet kom ursprungligen från utbildningsnämnden för Bioteknik och Kemiteknik, som startade ett antal beräkningsteknikprojekt för att stärka teknologerna färdigheter i beräkningsteknik. Projektet genomfördes av 11 frivilliga (av 108) ”testpiloter” i kursen Transportprocesser. Vi ersatte ett av de tre beräkn

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ateroskleros är en sjukdomsprocess vars grundläggande utveckling i blodkärlens väggar sannolikt börjar flera decennier innan insjuknandet i infarkt eller slaganfall inträffar. Som svar på endotelskada, inflammatoriska mediatorer eller tillväxtfaktorer i kärlet kommer glatta muskelceller att dela sig, migrera in mot blodbanan och börja syntetisera en helt ny uppsättning Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the vessel wall contract to regulate blood flow and pressure, a function essential for normal circulation through tissues. On the other hand, migration and proliferation of SMCs are important factors in vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis following surgical dilatation. The conversion of the SMC to this role is marked by a modulation from contracti

Welcome to the e-manual on adult participation in universities! The manual is intended for managers, teachers and practitioners working with adults in universities. It may also be of interest to staff trainers and professional development co-ordinators, policy makers and administrators with an interest in adult higher learning, staff of national agencies who have a role to play in increasing adul
