Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of two recent plant closures in Skane point at the importance of retaining existing knowledge bases, and at t

A fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX (TM)) is developed based on the use of clinical risk factors with or without bone mineral density tests applied to the UK. Introduction The aim of this study was to apply an assessment tool for the prediction of fracture in men and women with the use of clinical risk factors (CRFs) for fracture with and without the use of femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to provide a detailed investigation of the hydrogen bond networks around the phosphatidylcholine (PC) head group in 1,2-dipropionyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in pure water, 10 mol.% and 30 mol.% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-water solutions. Specifically, it is observed that DMSO replaces those water molecules that are within the first solvation shell of the ch

Popular Abstract in Swedish Byggnadsprestanda – Metoder för förbättrad prediktering och verifiering av energianvändning och inneklimat Hans Bagge, Byggnadsfysik LTH Introduktion För att kunna minska utsläpp av växthusgaser och rädda klimatet på jorden är det av yttersta vikt att vi kan bygga byggnader med låg energianvändning och bra inneklimat. Byggnader står i dagsläget för mellan 30 och 40 %Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the most important goals in Europe as well as the rest of the world. To reach that goal, the use of energy must be reduced. Thus, the building industry is facing a great challenge. Not only energy efficiency but also sustainability is desirable in the building stock. This thesis presents and suggests methods that can be used to improve prediction and verification o

The design and fabrication of a home-made thin-layer electrochemical flow cell are reported. The performance and electrochemical characteristics of thin-layer cells are evaluated in terms of flow rate and channel thickness. The adaptability of the flow cell for amperometric and electrochemiluminescence measurements is demonstrated. Also, a flow injection method comprising electrochemical generatio

It has been suggested that organic farming may benefit farmland biodiversity more in landscapes that have lost a significant part of its former landscape heterogeneity. We tested this hypothesis by comparing bird species richness and abundance during the breeding season in organic and conventional farms, matched to eliminate all differences not directly linked to the farming practice, situated in

Partially Premixed Combustion is a concept able to combine low smoke and NOx emissions with high combustion controllability and efficiency. It is of interest to be able to utilize PPC in a large operating region in order to meet the Euro VI emission legislation without relying on NOx aftertreatment. This paper investigates the differences in PPC characteristics for three fuels; Diesel Swedish Mk

The problems of allocation of scarce resources and priority setting in health care have so far not been much studied in the context of stem cell-based therapeutic applications. If and when competitive cost-effective stem cell-based therapies are available, the problem of priority setting - to whom should stem cell-based therapies be offered and on what grounds - is discussed in this article using

Development and application of some laser techniques for the study of engine combustion are presented. The investigations mainly cover two aspects: fuel dynamics and formation of NO. Fuel dynamics is one of the most central problems in engine design since many performance parameters are affected by it; emission formation, efficiency, drivability etc. The studies include cycle-resolved measurement

The basis of this thesis is the exit problem in close corporations and the protections available to the minority. The phase one of the problem is when oppression takes place, which includes actions when dividends are withheld and excessive bonuses are paid to the majority, leading to the unfair treatment of the minority. Phase two of the problem is the exit problem itself, the minority owner's
