An NMR technique to measure exchange kinetics at thermal equilibrium in dispersions of moderately soluble crystalline material is presented. By monitoring the exchange of molecules between pools in solid and dissolved form, one can characterize the surface specific exchange rate. Illustrative experiments were performed in a model system with b-type crystals of tripalmitin as the solid phase and tr
It has been shown that users of a digital system perceive a more ‘masculine-sounding’ female voice as more persuasive and intelligent than a corresponding but more ‘feminine-sounding’ female voice. Our study explores whether a parallel pattern of affectively colored evaluations can be elicited when femininity and masculinity are manipulated via visual cues instead of via voice. 80 participants enc
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important in the immune defense against invading pathogens, but they are also key molecules in the regulation of inflammatory reactions. Low levels of ROS production due to a polymorphism in the neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (Ncf1) gene are associated with autoimmunity and arthritis severity in mouse models induced with adjuvant. We established an adjuvant-free ar
Ad hoc networks, being able to organize themselves without user intervention, can easily provide their users with mobility, multimedia support and group communication. However, they have to combine quality of service (QoS) and multicast routing strategies. This article defines the resource management and admission control components of the ad hoc QoS multicast (AQM) routing protocol, which achieve
Cellular metabolism of glucose is required for stimulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, but the precise metabolic coupling factors involved in this process are not known. In an effort to better understand mechanisms of fuel-mediated insulin secretion, we have adapted 13C NMR and isotopomer methods to measure influx of metabolic fuels into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in i
Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative human pathogen that resides in the upper respiratory tract. Encapsulated H. influenzae type b (Hib) and type f (Hif) are the most common serotypes associated with invasive disease. H. influenzae displays various strategies to circumvent the host innate immune response, including the bactericidal effect of the complement system. In this study, we identified
This paper provides an exploratory analysis about the effect of transportation infrastructure on poverty reductions in Mexico between 1990 and 2010. Using the density of highways and unprecedented official estimations of poverty at municipality level, I show that this type of infrastructure lead to reductions in poverty. On average, for every additional kilometer (km) of highway (km/100km2) povert
Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att analysera det uppror som skildras i Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games-trilogi. Med grund i Michail Bachtins tankar om folkets möjlighet till uppror i karnevalen och den folkliga festen anläggs ett karnevalsperspektiv på framförallt övergripande händelseförlopp, men även specifika händelser och företeelser i Collins bokserie. Efter en inledande beskrivning av karThe aim of this thesis is to analyze the uprising depicted in Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games-trilogy. Using the ideas of carnival and vernacular humour presented by Mikhail Bakhtin a carnival perspective is applied to the course of events in Collin’s trilogy. Following a description of carnival as theory in the study of literature in general and more specifically children’s literature, the carn
In this essay, I will study the Doctrine of Discovery in an Indigenous Rights perspective. The aim of the essay is to examine the legitimacy of the doctrine in light of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To complete this purpose, I map the substance of the doctrine and analyze the relevant provisions of the declaration. In my analysis, I apply the provisions of the
Vid den nordöstra kusten av den karibiska ön Grenada ligger en övergiven flygplats. Denna extraordinära miljö ligger i en dal mellan tropiska berg täckta av frodig regnskog. Landningsbanan är en 1,5 kilometer lång historisk startbana som möter Atlantens livfulla vatten. Grenada har redan drabbats av orkaner och andra tropiska stormar. Utvecklingen av klimatförändringar skapar oftare och mer intenOn the north east coast of the Caribbean island Grenada, there´s an abandoned airport. This extraordinary environment is located in a valley between tropical mountains covered by lush rain forest. The landing stripe is a 1,5-kilometer-long runway of history, facing the rough Atlantic Ocean. Grenada has already suffered badly from hurricanes and tropical storms. While climate changes are evolving
The thesis concentrates on the issue of bill of lading fraud and discusses legal remedies as to respective type of fraud. Due to complexity and difference of each jurisdiction, the thesis selects English law and Chinese law as targeted jurisdiction, under which the issue of bill of lading will be addressed and analyzed. In addition to domestic law, the recent-adopted international convention, name

The thesis seeks to understand why the North American natives uses powwow as a way of manifesting their identity and cultural affiliation. The thesis also seeks to understand how the North American natives and the powwow movement is represented at t
Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard
The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and maintaining a Norwegian presence in the Arctic areas is considered to be a national priority. A major r
The thesis covers human rights violations against persons with disabilities, focusing on their right to political life and the right to vote, using the framework of critical disability theory. The aim of the thesis is two-folded: it analyses the use of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the adjudication of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) with a focus
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how a brand’s packaging design becomes iconic through entering pop culture/art. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is of qualitative nature, based on a traditional literature review along with multiple case-study research. This approach allows for deep analysis into the dimensions of iconic packaging. Finally, template analysis was made to
Oklarhetsregeln är en avtalsrättslig princip som härstammar från den romerska rätten och återfinns i flera rättsordningar och internationella principsamlingar. I Corpus Juris Civilis är den latinska formuleringen av regeln ambiguitas contra stipulatorem est och på engelska omnämns den som the contra proferentem rule. Även om oklarhetsregeln är en välkänd princip, är den kontroversiell. HD har exemThe contra proferentem rule is a legal doctrine in contract law, which originates from the Roman law. Today, the rule is known in several legal systems and is used in international collections of principles. In Corpus Juris Civilis the Latin wording of the rule is ambiguitas contra stipulatorem est and in Sweden the rule is known as oklarhetsregeln. Even though the rule is well known, it is contro
I denna uppsats undersöks vilka strategier som används vid dubbningen av filmtrilogin Gudfadern från dess amerikanska källtextsammanhang till ett italienskt måltextsammanhang. Syftet är dels att få mer information om hur översättning av flerspråkighet ser ut, dels hur det kan se ut när språkvarieteten som ska översättas är tillgänglig på det språk som det ska översättas till samt om förändringar ö
