Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. Superparamagnetiska järnoxidpartiklar har i drygt ett årtionde varit ett godkänt kontrastmedel fMagnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an imaging technique that utilizes regular ultrasound in combination with an applied time varying magnetic field to induce motion of magnetic nanoparticles injected in the region. This motion can be detected and give valuable information about the particle laden region. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been approved for over a decade for use with

Denna magisteruppsats är baserad på en översättning av fem artiklar på temat "Sentimenti" ("Känslor") hämtade från den italienska tidskriften L'Espresso. I arbetet ingår en översättningsdel och en analysdel.I den senare delen ingår en källtextanalys och en översättningskommentar. Källtextanalysen är utarbetad efter den modell som presenteras i Hellspong & Ledins bok Väg

It’s difficult to establish the correct definition of what constitutes rape and sexual consent, especially since the definitions are different depending on the source. The different guises of rape are many and will be established as a part of the essay. The differences between how adolescents and the judiciary interpret sexual consent, sex and rape will also be stated. Sexual violence is a major p

Minskade friktionsförluster har blivit föremål för omfattande forskning och utveckling inom bilindustrin. Som ett led i detta har förspänning av pinjonglager i relation till driftstempertur studerats i ett examensarbete på uppdrag av BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. Resultatet är anmärkningsvärt och motiverar fortsatt konstruktionsarbete. Alla känner nog till att bilen är en riktig miljöbov men fThis report is the written result of a Master Thesis conducted at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The project has been carried out in collaboration with BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems (TTS) AB in Landskrona. The car industry is growing vastly and thereby the associated levels of CO2 emissions. Extensive and sharpened regulations are continuously b

Studier har visat att tvåfasflöde med gas och vätska kan öka ett membrans flux. I detta examensarbete har två vätskor, kiseldioxidlösning och hemicellulosalösning, luftats med olika metoder, och luftningens inverkan på fluxet har studerats. När vätskor med hög viskositet ska membranfiltreras är ofta fluxet lågt vilket gör att filtreringen tar lång tid och att det därför behövs stora membrananläggA new oxygen barrier film that is made of arabinoxylan has been developed by the company Xylophane. Arabinoxylan is available among other things in wheat bran. But a problem with the method of extracting the arabinoxylan is that after an alkali extraction is ultrafiltration used to remove impurities and the flux during this is quite low. In this project is it investigated if gas sparging with air

The purpose of this thesis is to compare best-selling business literature in China and the US. Snapshots of Amazon.com and Amazon.cn bestseller lists were captured in early 2014, and the 25 highest ranked titles in the designated “business” category on each website form the foundation for comparison. The books mainly touch on Economics & Politics, Management Studies, Productivity & Life Ma

Renewable energy is gaining increasing importance in the generation of power due to the finite existence of fossil fuels and concerns about climate change. As its demand grows financial interest from investors’ increases, thus it is important to find the most effective way of quantifying the risk of the renewable energy market. Furthermore as renewable energy can be viewed as an economic substitut

The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”

As the field of metal halide perovskites matures, a range of compositionally different perovskite films has found a place in efficient optoelectronic devices. These films feature variable local structural stability, carrier diffusion, and recombination, while there is still a lack of easy-to-implement generic protocols for high-throughput characterization of these variable properties. Correlation

Background. Inherited kidney diseases (IKDs) and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are causes of kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT) that major renal registries usually amalgamate into the primary renal disease(PRD) category ‘miscellaneous’ or in the glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis categories. This makes IKDs invisible (except for polycystic ki

Recent years have seen major advances in tau-associated brain disorders through interdisciplinary research spanning molecular biology, neuroimaging, clinical trials, and therapeutic development. The Tau2024 Global Conference, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association, CurePSP, and Rainwater Charitable Foundation, showcased these efforts by bringing together researchers and experts worldwide to discuss

Intrapersonal diversity has emerged as an important trait among top managers, significantly improving firm and team performance. However, existing research treats this diversity as static orexogenously given, overlooking its developmental origins. Drawing on imprinting theory, we explore how early-childhood parental diversity and later-life crisis events shape a manager’s decision to acquire this

District heating and cooling is a simple but powerful technology that could contribute to decarbonising Europe's heating and cooling supply. However, its current overall penetration is minor. Furthermore, future systems could adopt different configurations with various settings of temperature levels or production location. This thesis has aimed to improve existing tools to evaluate district heatin

BACKGROUND: Despite the high level of economic development in the Group of Seven (G7) countries, injury deaths remain a public health concern in these countries. This paper examines the contribution of injury deaths to changes in life expectancy (LE) and life disparity (LD) in the G7 countries.METHODS: We used annual data from the WHO mortality database to compute LE and LD during 2001-03 and 2017

This paper presents a snapshot of a neolithic maritime exchange network centred on the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) site of Tråsättra (circa 2630 to 2470 BCE), located northeast of modern-day Stockholm, Sweden. We used a combination of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MA/ES) and thin section analysis to study and source the clays used to produce 19 potsherds and 39 ce

UNLABELLED: Children with congenital and acquired heart disease have an increased risk of thromboembolic events. There is a paucity of evidence on the optimal approach to thromboprophylaxis for this population, and the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants in recent years has led to significant variation in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to describe current practice in thrombopro

Patents are among the most common proxies for innovation, and a long-standing discussion is therefore to what extent patents can be used to monitor trends in innovation activity. This study proposes a new straightforward approach to measure the amount and quality of information content of a data source, where information is approached as a transmission from a source to a receiver through a noisy c
