Rapporten behandlar styr- och reglertekniska funktioners inverkan på energiförbrukningen i byggnader. Den omfattar presentation av undersökta objekt med beskrivning av de olika installationssystemen, redogörelse för redan gjorda driftserfarenheter samt beskrivning av energibesparande modifieringar av driftsätt.

eta(c)(2980) production in gammagamma interactions has been detected via its decays into K(s)(0)K(-/+)pi(-/+), K+K-K+K- and K(+)K(-)pi(+)pi(-) in the data taken with the DELPHI detector at LEP1 and LEP2 energies. The two-photon radiative width averaged over all observed decay channels is Gammagammagamma=13.9+/-2.0(stat.)+/-1.4(syst.)+/-2.7 (BR) keV. No direct decay channel eta(c)-->pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)

Growth of the smooth muscle in the rat portal vein was initiated by an increased transmural pressure. After 7 days, the cross-sectional area of the vessel wall and the maximal active force of the longitudinal muscle layer had increased twofold. Electron microscopy showed that the cell cross-sectional area was increased, suggesting cellular hypertrophy. Increased amounts of intermediate (10 nm) fil

In treatment of Meniére's disease, installations of gentamicin are continued until there are signs of disturbance of vestibular or cochlear function. However, since it has been demonstrated that gentamicin is eliminated slowly from the inner ear, a continuing ototoxic effect may be suspected. The present study aimed to investigate the delay of onset of symptoms of ototoxic effects. Five patients w

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a disorder in which, despite the presence of islet antibodies at diagnosis of diabetes, the progression of autoimmune ß-cell failure is slow. LADA patients are therefore not insulin requiring, at least during the first 6 months after diagnosis of diabetes. Among patients with phenotypic type 2 diabetes, LADA occurs in 10% of individuals older than 35

The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to measure prospectively the bone mineral density (BMD) and anthropometric variables after a hip fracture. In particular, we studied changes in the BMD in both the injured and uninjured hips, and examined if the postoperative mortality rate and complications, including pseudarthrosis of the fracture and late segmental collapse of the head of the f

Objectives. To study the relationship between clinical manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with polymorphisms in suggested susceptibility genes encoding Fc gamma RIIa, Fc gamma RIIIa, Fc gamma RIIIb, CRP and IL-1Ra. Methods. Genetic polymorphisms were analysed in 323 unrelated SLE patients and 200 healthy blood donors. The genotype frequencies were compared between clinical subset

Clinical practice guidelines attempt to bridge the gap between the generation of scientific evidence and its application. For cardiovascular risk reduction, the implementation of knowledge into practice, both with respect to lifestyle change and pharmacological treatment, has been shown to be poor. There are several reasons for this 'guidelines gap', with physician factors including insufficient t

High concentration carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to promote pre-slaughter anaesthesia in swine and poultry, as well as short-lasting surgical anaesthesia and euthanasia in laboratory animals. Questions related to animal welfare have been raised, as CO2 anaesthesia does not set in momentarily. Carbon dioxide promotes anaesthesia by lowering the intracellular pH in the brain cells, but the dynamics o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utgöres av två separata rapporter, där studieobjektet för den första är en vektorvärd Sturm-Liouville ekvation på formen -(PU')'+QU=zU, xin[0,b), med P^{-1},W,Q hermiteska med lokalt integrerbara matriselement; och under vissa ytterligare villkor på P^{-1} och W. Under dessa förutsättningar härleds några huvudresultat beträf- fande asymptotiken, då z igThis discourse is constituted by two separate reprots, where the first one offers an elementary deduction of the leading order term asymptotics for the Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function corresponding to a vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equation of the form -(PU')'+QU=zu, xin[0,b), with P^{-1},W,Q being hermitean with locally integrable entries; and under some additional conditions on P^{-1} and W. In the

The effect of core polarization on binding energies, term splitting, fine structure, and transition probabilities is investigated for the low lying states 4s2S, 3d2D, 4p2P(o) in Ca II and 4s2(1)S, 4s4p1,3P(o) in Ca I. Results from inclusions of core polarization in the form of model potentials are compared with explicit MCHF calculations, and the accuracy of the different approaches is discussed.

Abstract in French La géométrie du tissue urbain a une grande influence sur le microclimat et influence donc le confort thermique extérieur des habitants et, le microclimat urbain influence à son tour indirectement le climat intérieur. Une mauvaise adaption climatique des environnements urbains a souvent pour conséquence l'utilisation d'une climatisation active et ainsi une augmentation de la cons
