Urban wastewater systems are currently exposed to a major rethink dictated by new demands on resource management. It is postulated that next to providing efficient sanitation (preventing spread of pathogenic microorganisms) these systems should support resource reuse. It remains uncertain of what will be the sanitation of the future; the understanding of technical performances of various alternati

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem upsatser (A-E): I uppsats A undersöks tidsberoende egenskaper hos kölängdsprocessen hos ett kösystem med flera betjänter under mycket allmänna Markovska ankomstprocesser. I uppsats B undersöks en endimensionell slumpvandring som reflekteras i två barriärer. I uppsats C undersöks ruinsannolikheten i en Cramér-Lundberg-modell där utbetalningaThis thesis consists of five papers (A-E). In Paper A, we study transient properties of the queue length process in various queueing settings. We focus on computing the mean and the Laplace transform of the time required for the queue length starting at $x

A process for the fermentative production of lactic acid from whole-wheat flour consisting of starch and bran containing nutrients is presented and an economical evaluation of the lactic acid production cost performed. Bottlenecks were identified and alternative processes were evaluated and compared. The costs of raw material, the sodium hydroxide in the fermentation step, and the conversion of la

We prove that any classical solution of the Camassa-Holm equation will have compact support if its initial data has this property.

We showed previously that the orphan nuclear receptor Tlx is required for the correct establishment of the pallio-subpallial boundary. Loss of Tlx results in a dorsal expansion of ventral markers (e.g., the homeodomain protein GSH2) into the ventralmost pallial region, i.e., the ventral pallium. We also observed a disproportionate reduction in the size of the Tlx mutant lateral ganglionic eminence

This study examined cross-sectional age relations of blood pressure, anthropometric indexes, serum lipids, and hemostatic variables in 203 subsistence horticulturists aged 20-86 y in Kitava, Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea. The population is characterized by extreme leanness (despite food abundance), low blood pressure, low plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 activity, and rarity of cardi

In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) the absorbed dose to the tumor cells and healthy tissues depends critically on the boron uptake. Pronounced individual variations in the uptake patterns have been observed for two boron compounds currently used in clinical trials. This implies a high uncertainty in the determination of the boron dose component. Ln the present work a technique known as prompt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of the three commercially available colloid solutions, 6% dextran 70, 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 200/0.5, and 3.5% urea-linked gelatin on permeability for human albumin in a skeletal muscle in vivo model by evaluating their effects on the reflection coefficient for albumin. DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. SETTING: University research laboratory. SUBJECTS:

Experimental M-shell nickel spectra in the 14.4-16.5 nm region from the JET tokamak (from both divertor and limiter configurations) and from the reversed field pinch RFX have been simulated. These spectra include lines from five ionization states, namely from K-like N-i9+ to P-like Ni13+ ions. For the JET limiter configuration the spectrum upper wavelength limit was higher (18.0 nm) and lines from

Naturally grown fruit-bodies of Suillus luteus, S. bovinus and S. variegatus were subjected to Py-GC. The pyrograms obtained were statistically analysed and classified with a multivariate classification program (SIMCA). The class describing the S. bovinus pyrograms was significantly separated from both the S. luteus and the S. variegatus classes, while these two classes showed some over-lapping wh

The effect of a second mutant allele (V1991, here denoted rn*) at the PRKAG3 (RN) locus on carcass composition was determined in 334 pigs, entire males and females, from crosses between Swedish Hampshire (H) and Finnish Landrace (L) (H x LH; LH x H; LH x LH). Pigs were classified according to DNA test into the following PRKAG3 genotypes: RN-IRN- (23%), RN-/rn(-) (24%), RN-/rn* (33%), rn(+)/rn(+) (

When Harry Sawyerr wrote his essay "What is African Theology?", published first in African Theological Journal, vol. 4 (1971), it appeared from its contents that he was making short comments about James Cone's Black theology that could have disappeared in the midst of more pressing African theological issues. Sawyerr's article was not primarily intended as a critique of Cone's Black theology; inst

The present work describes a flow injection analysis system incorporating amperometric biosensors for acetate monitoring. Tri-enzyme-modified electrodes were fabricated by immobilizing acetate kinase (AK), pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into a poly(ethyleneglycole) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) film also containing Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) as an electrochemical mediator. The c
