Popular Abstract in Swedish En ny typ av reaktor för kemikalie och läkemedelsproduktion är under utveckling av Alfa Laval AB, ett svenskt företag som är en världsledande tillverkare av värmeväxlare. Den nya reaktortypen, som kallas för plattreaktor, kombinerar den höga värmeöverföringsförmågan från plattvärmeväxlaren med den effektiva mikro-mixningen av kemikalier som är typisk för en mikro-reaktoA new chemical reactor, the Alfa Laval Plate Reactor, is being developed by Alfa Laval, a Swedish world-leading heat exchanger company. The plate reactor combines the high-heat-transfer capabilities of plate heat exchangers with the efficient mixing and reaction control typical of microreactors. With this new concept, highly exothermic reactions can be produced using more concentrated reactants an

Small-angle, two-particle correlation functions have been measured for Ar-36+Sn-112,Sn-124 collisions at E/A=61 MeV. Total momentum gated neutron-proton (np) and proton-proton (pp) correlations are stronger for the Sn-124 target. Some of the correlation functions for particle pairs involving deuterons or tritons (nd, pt, and nt) also show a dependence on the isospin of the emitting source.

Varför är det så viktigt att hålla reda på härstamningen bakåt i tiden? Olika användningsområden i olika kulturer och tidsperioder.

We have studied the interface formation of thin films of Co on a Mo(1 1 0) surface by the use of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Below a coverage of about 0.4 monolayers (ML) we find that Co grows in small islands which are pesudomorphic with the Mo substrate. At a Cc coverage above 0.4 ML, the Co atoms condense int

The importance of different additional simplifications used when moving from single site applications to regional applications of the SAFE and MAKEDEP models was studied. The SAFE model is a dynamic soil chemistry model, which apart from physical and chemical soil parameters also needs the historic evolution of atmospheric deposition and nutrient uptake to simulate the effects of acidic deposition

Popular Abstract in Swedish Östeuropeisk industri är ökänd både för sin miljöpåverkan och för sin besvärliga ekonomiska sits. Detta gör att resurserna som finns tillgängliga för miljöarbete är små - om dom finns överhuvudtaget. Den möjlighet som då återstår ligger i den förebyggande miljöskyddsstrategin där förbättringarna uppnås genom att gå in i produktionsprocesserna och effektivisera användninSince 1991 cleaner production projects have been pursued by the donors in Eastern European industry. These projects have aimed at demonstrating the benefits of a preventive approach to environmental protection, and to train people within the industry to perform the cleaner production assessments that constitute the core element of the preventive approach. The large merit of the preventive approach

Free radicals have recently been proposed to play a role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Ischaemia and hyperglycaemia followed by recirculation have been suggested to initiate free radical production in other tissues and the aim of the present study was to examine whether this could also be the case in the retina. The present study showed retinal cell damage, as measured by pycnotic ce

The diversity of viral strategies to modulate complement activation indicates that this component of the immune system has significant antiviral potential. One example is the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP), which inhibits progression of the complement cascade. Rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV), like KSHV, is a member of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae and

The coronary arteries of the isolated rabbit heart were perfused with different contrast media (CM). The effects on cardiac contractile force (CF) from enriching iohexol solutions with sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium and oxygen were investigated. The effects were studied during normal and reduced perfusion pressure; the latter was intended to simulate flow conditions distal to proximal steno

The influence of personality factors on the appraisal of subjective quality of life in individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is not much investigated. The present study examined this relationship in a sample of 104 patients living in the community. The temperament and character inventory was used to assess personality and the Lancashire quality of life profile was used to asse

Purpose: We evaluated the significance of focal prostate cancer found in sextant biopsies in men participating in a biennial prostate specific antigen (PSA) based screening program. Materials and Methods: In 1995, 10,000 men 50 to 65 years old were randomized to biennial screening with PSA testing. Sextant biopsies were recommended when total PSA was 3 ng/ml or greater at screening rounds 1 and 2,

The purpose of this review is to present what is known about capillary phenomena in wood and discuss how it should be measured and modelled.
