Klorerade kolväten har använts inom diverse svenska industrier under framförallt 1900-talet. De främsta användningsområdena har varit som lösningsmedel inom verkstadsindustrin och som tvättvätska i kemtvättar. Några av de vanligaste lösningsmedlen är tetrakloreten (PCE) och trikloreten (TCE). De flesta klorerade kolväten är intermediärt vattenlösliga och har högre densitet än vatten vilket benämnsChlorinated hydrocarbons have been used in various Swedish industries, mainly during the 1900s. The main uses have been as solvents in the manufacturing industry and as washing liquid in dry cleaners. Some of the common chlorinated solvents are tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). Most of the chlorinated hydrocarbons are somewhat insoluble in water and the density is higher than wate

En vegetationskarta och en digital höjdmodell har gjorts över ett 54 km2 stort område beläget på Svalbards västkust, vid Isfjorden. Vegetationskartan är baserad på flygbilder och en undersökning gjord i fält under juli månad 1994. Systemet som användes vid klassificeringen av de olika vegetationstyperna är utarbetad av Elven et al. (1990) för en liknande studie i Gipsdalen på Svalbard. Vår vegetatA vegetation map and a Digital Elevation Model has been generated over a 54 km2 area situated at the western coast of Svalbard, at the Isfjorden fiord. The map is based on aerial photographs and a field survey made during the summer of 1994. The classification system used is described by Elven et alia (1990), for a similar study in Gipsdalen in the inner part of Isfjorden. The classification of th

The dynamics of proteins in solution includes a variety of processes, such as backbone and side-chain fluctuations, interdomain motions, as well as global rotational and translational (i.e. center of mass) diffusion. Since protein dynamics is related to protein function and essential transport processes, a detailed mechanistic understanding and monitoring of protein dynamics in solution is highly

Coal is used to generate electricity and produce high-value chemicals through coal gasification, liquefaction, and coke. During combustion sulfur is released, which leads to acid rain formation. Mineral matter present in coal is undesirable because it causes technological problems such as corrosion of equipment and reduction of overall rate of combustion of coal. Also, after combustion, the minera

We demonstrate the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) to make quantitative measures of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC) and biogenic silica (BSi) concentrations in sediment. FTIRS is a fast and cost-effective technique and only small sediment samples are needed (0.01 g). Statistically significant models were developed using sediment samples from northern

Most aerobic organisms contain catalase which functions to decompose hydrogen peroxide. Typical catalases are structurally complex homo-tetrameric enzymes with one heme prosthetic group buried in each subunit. It is not known how catalase in the cell is assembled from its constituents. The bacterium Enterococcus faecalis cannot synthesize heme but can acquire it from the environment to form a cyto

Introduction: The incidence of hyperthyroidism has been reported in various countries to be 23-93/100000 inhabitants per year. This extended study has evaluated the incidence for similar to 40% of the Swedish population of 9 million inhabitants. Sweden is considered to be iodine sufficient country. Methods:All patients including children, who were newly diagnosed with overt hyperthyroidism in the

to evaluate the clinical outcomes after fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (F-EVAR) in octogenarians.

Several investigations have revealed surprisingly high activities during the winter in vegetation and soil in temperate and subarctic areas. Plants have been found to photosynthesize even under snow cover and at temperatures below freezing, and decomposer microorganisms can function, at low rates, all year around. In temperate grasslands, the vegetation includes winter annual herbs as well as bryo

Control of emission by intermolecular fluorescence resonant energy transfer (IFRET) and intermolecular charge transfer (ICT) is investigated with the quantum-chemistry method using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) real space analysis methods. The work is based on the experiment of tunable emission from doped 1,3,5-triphenyl-2-pyrazoline (TPP) organic nanoparticles (Peng, A. D.; et a

The long-lived, light-induced radical Y-D(.) of the Tyr161 residue in the D2 protein of Photosystem 11 (PSII) is known to magnetically interact with the CaMn4 cluster, situated similar to 30 angstrom away. In this study we report a transient step-change increase in YD EPR intensity upon the application of a single laser flash to S, state-synchronised PSII-enriched membranes from spinach. This tran
