This essay examines Byron's and Shelley's reactions to, and involvement with, the Neapolitan Revolution of 1820–21, using them to focus a debate about conflicting constructions of history in their writing, and to question subsequently conventional accounts of their creative relationship. It concentrates on Shelley's Ode to Naples, which it identifies as in important rhetorical blow in Shelley's pu

Denna artikel diskuterar en ny form av snabbt expanderande praktiker från tidigt 2000-tal och som erbjuds av privata företag eller entreprenörer (lekmannaterapeuter). I fokus står självförverkligande och helande. Jag har med hjälp av verktyg från Ritual Studies valt att analysera dessa praktiker som en form av individ-centrerade riter som designas för att lindra smärta och lågt självförtroende förThis article discusses a new form of practices which are offered by private companies or entrepreneurs (layman therapists) whose practices focusing on self-development and healing rapidly expanded in the early 2000s in Sweden. I have chosen to analyze these practices from a Ritual Studies perspective as individual-centered rites designed to remedy ill health and low self-esteem and to build new, p

Mixing is an energy demanding process which has been previously shown to affect enzymatic hydrolysis. Concentrated biomass slurries are associated with high and non-Newtonian viscosities and mixing in these systems is a complex task. Poor mixing can lead to mass and/or heat transfer problems as well as inhomogeneous enzyme distribution, both of which can cause possible yield reduction. Furthermore

Traditionally, interdisciplinarity has been taken to require conceptual or theoretical integration. However, in the emerging field of sustainability science this kind of integration is often lacking. Indeed sometimes it is regarded as an obstacle to interdisciplinarity. Drawing on examples from sustainability science, we show that problem-feeding, i.e. the transfer of problems, is a common and fru

This thesis studies approximate optimal control of nonlinear systems. Particular attention is given to global solutions and to the computation of approximately optimal feedback controllers. The solution to an optimal control problem is characterized by the optimal value function. For a large class of problems the optimal value function must satisfy a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type equation. Two comm

Background and Aims: Spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat mimics human T1D as the rats experience weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, ketoacidosis, onset during puberty and insulin-dependency within a day after diagnosis. Because the DP rat develops T1D spontaneously, it is a prime laboratory animal for dissecting the genetics of T1D susceptibility without the need for exte
