Resonant Auger spectra of O-2 clusters excited at the O1s edge are reported. After excitation to the repulsive 1s(-1)3 sigma* state, the resulting resonant Auger spectrum displays features that remain constant in kinetic energy as the photon energy is detuned. The shift between known atomic fragment features and these features is consistent with that observed for atoms and clusters in singly charg
On-site composting of nonpolluted organic wastes avoids costs and energy for transportation since the volume to be transported can be reduced to about 20% of the original. This paper describes the aerobic processes in a small-scale composting reactor, and evaluates how these processes can be optimized. The optimized composting process has a relatively short turnover time for organic matter; at the
Traditionally used methods for developing a synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) are well known for their limitations. In last few decades, use of probability distribution functions in developing SUHs has received much attention. In this study, the potentials of a three-parameter beta distribution are explored. Using a analogy between the three-parameter beta-distribution shape and the SUH shape, appro
The advent of safe languages like Java on the real-time systems scene motivates further research on efficient strategies for non-intrusive garbage collection and especially GC scheduling. This thesis presents new approaches to flexible and robust memory management from an engineering perspective and is a step towards write once --- run anywhere with hard real-time performance. The traditional app
Formation of calcium oxalate incrusts, scaling, may cause severe problems in the pulp and paper industry. Enzymatic degradation of oxalic acid provides a novel approach to eliminate the problems with calcium oxalate precipitation. The performance of two oxalate-degrading enzymes, oxalate oxidase from barley and oxalate decarboxylase from Aspergillus, was tested in model experiments with respect to
The aim of the project has been to elucidate molecular events leading to amyloidosis in Hereditary Cystatin C Amyloid Angiopathy (HCCAA) patients, to enable simple diagnosis of the disease and with the ultimate goal to understand the amyloid formation process in detail, in order to develop inhibitors to the process. At the DNA level, a point mutation segregating with HCCAA was identified in the cy
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige har intranät inom loppet av ett par år införts i drygt hälften av alla organisationer – privata och offentliga. Intranät har av många setts som ett verktyg för att effektivisera kommunikationen och lärandet. Behovet av effektiv kommunikation och lärande har accelererat under 1990-talet med en allt större konkurrens mellan organisationerna. En god tillgång tillDuring the 1990s, communication and learning attracted heightened attention in organizational contexts. Generally speaking, there is great faith in the significance of ICT for people’s learning. One form of technology which has had a great impact on Swedish organizations is the intranet. Within the course of a few years, intranets have been implemented in just over half of all Swedish organization
I denna skrift visas ett antal beräkningsexempel på hur fuktinnehållet i en gotländsk sandsten kan variera med varierande randvillkor. Teorin och numerisk metod för beräkningarna beskrivs i detalj.
It is shown how first-order performance estimation of high-orderadaptive optics (AO) systems may be efficiently implemented in a hybridnumerical simulation by the use of 1) sparse matrix techniques forwavefront reconstruction, 2) undersampled pupil-plane turbulence-inducedaberrations, and 3) analytical models that compensate - in the limit ofinfinite exposure time - for the errors introduced by un
Fabrication and characterization of amperometric bienzyme L-glutamate sensitive microelectrodes are the prerequisite for monitoring changes Of L-glutamate concentration at glutamate-secreting cell cultures. The design of the glutamate microelectrodes is based on incorporating L-glutamate oxidase and horseradish peroxidase into a redox-hydrogel containing PVI19-dmeOs as the redox mediator and immob
We use a variational approach to find the best constants for certain Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on the real line. To show the existence of a minimizer, we use the method of concentration-compactness.
OBJECTIVE--To investigate whether a lack of glutathione-S-transferase mu (GSTM1) activity was related to an increased risk for adverse outcome after asbestos exposure. METHODS--A study was made of 78 male former asbestos cement workers, with retrospective cohort data on exposure, radiographical findings, and lung function. Venous blood samples were obtained for the analysis of GSTM1 polymorphism b
The role of weighted biharmonic Green functions in weighted Bergman spaces was first studied in the beginning of the 50's by Paul Garabedian. In 1951 he showed that they are closely related to reproducing kernel functions of weighted Bergman spaces. Half a century later, the properties of biharmonic functions turned out to be crucial to the factorization theory of Bergman spaces on the unit disk.
