Laser spectroscopy techniques can be used for tumour detection as well as for localised therapy of malignancies. Laser-induced fluorescence with or without exogenously administered tumour seeking agents is a promising technique for real-time detection of atypical cells and dysplasia before the diseased areas can be visualised by the naked eye. Tumour borders can also be delineated towards normal n

The study deals with the ancient town of Caleacte, modern Caronia, on the north coast of Sicily. Information provided by ancient textual sources, epigraphy and archaeology on the economic conditions and framework of the site and its micro-region are presented in the first chapter. Production and exchange through a diachronic perspective of nearly 1,000 years is illustrated through the study of pot

The aim of this study is to explore how American staged art photographers in the 1970s problematized a traditional, visualist approach to the photograph as mediator or interface between human subject and reality, which had been present in the straight photography that had dominated American art photography from the early decades of the twentieth century. Instead of viewing the camera as an objecti

With the exponential growth of the World Wide Web, automated subject classification has become a major research issue. Organizing web pages into a hierarchical structure for subject browsing has been gaining more recognition as an important tool in information-seeking processes.The most frequent approach to automated classification is machine learning. It, however, requires training documents and

The possibility of building compact, low-ohmic antennas suitable for mobile handsets is investigated. An F-antenna is built with a self-impedance of 10 Ω instead of the commonly used 50 Ω. Low impedance is chosen to minimize voltages in circuits prior to the antenna, in this case an adaptive matching network designed in CMOS or a similar process. To optimize this adaptive matching network, the ant

This book chapter is an attempt to discuss the tricky concept of queer and its potential meanings.

Esaias Tegnér (1782–1846), professor i grekiska vid Lunds universitet 1812–1824, därefter biskop i Växjö fram till sin död, var en av sin tids mest betydande kulturpersonligheter: en lysande diktare, en framstående talare, en dugande universitetslärare, kraftfull biskop, briljant och spirituell brevskrivare. Hans efterlämnade skrifter består av dikter och brev, samt tal hållna i olika sammanhang. The literary remains of Esaias Tegnér (1782–1846)—poet, professor, bishop—include poems, letters, and speeches. These texts are have been published in a series of scholarly editions by Tegnérsamfundet. The last volumes of the series, which will contain sermons and other ecclesiastic speeches, are due to appear in the immediate future. This was the incentive for a symposium in November 2009, held a
