The doubly magic nucleus 100Sn represents a crucial test for the nuclear shell model, which is a widely used model for a quantitative description of nuclei. Excited states in 100Sn are experimentally not accessible with present day techniques, but it is possible to gain insight into its structure by studying the properties of excited states of neighboring nuclei. These nuclei
Introduction: The pulmonary oxygen uptake is reduced during apnea, compared to eupneic baseline, preserving the pulmonary oxygen store. This study elucidates the time course for this reduction, comparing it to the time course for apnea-induced cardiovascular responses. Methods and results: Experiments involved two groups, performing apneas during rest, both without and with cold-water face immersi
Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is high in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most patients reveal a high prevalence of CV risk factors such as diabetes or arterial hypertension and many have manifest cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure with an increased risk of clinical events including sudden cardiac death. Diabetes mellitu
This study aims to investigate and disentangle the impact of land use and climate variability on the Baltic Sea coastal zone from a millennial perspective. To assess the environmental status of the coastal zone we make use of siliceous microfossils (mainly diatoms), stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes, organic carbon accumulation rates, and lithological changes analyzed in a sediment core collecte
Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) was used to increase load bearing capacity of light weight aggregate concrete (LWA) masonry walls subjected to eccentric axial compression. Ladder type masonry reinforcement, high strength steel wire strips and glass fiber mesh were used for strengthening of eleven, 2.4 m high, 0.5 m long and 0.1 m thick walls. The reinforcement was applied on the dry wall sur
Importance: Long-term follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is of interest given that longitudinal data on mortality and durability of transcatheter heart valves are limited. The REPRISE III (Repositionable Percutaneous Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of Lotus Valve System-Randomized Clinical Evaluation) randomized clinical trial compared the mecha
In order to study the influence of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis on the levels of endogenous digitalis-like substances (EDLS) in plasma and urine, eight healthy subjects (25-40 years old) were given dexamethasone 1 mg orally and tetracosactide (an ACTH analog) 0.25 mg i.v., on separate occasions. The circulating levels of EDLS, TSH, PRL and AVP following administration of either test dru
The aim of the project MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) was to produce information that can be cited in the preparation of national and EU decisions concerning speed management and speed control equipment standards. For this purpose, the project looked for answers to three key questions: 1)What are acceptable ranges of speeds? 2)What are the key factors influencing drivers’ ch
The procurement process can be defined as all the activities required in getting a product or a service from the supplier to a final destination. It encompasses the purchasing function, storing, transportation and manages the relations between suppliers and internal customers. It is a cyclical process involving the following activities: analysis, planning, implementation, and measurement. The perf
Chondrocytes isolated from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma were incubated in culture with [1-3H]glucose for 30 min to 8 h. Labeled proteoglycans were isolated, treated with borohydride under alkaline conditions, and the three complex sugar structures purified: N- and O-linked oligosaccharides and chondroitin sulfate chains. The amount of incorporated radioactivity into each component sugar was analyz
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom området datorgrafik undersöker man hur virtuella scener kan omvandlas till verklighetstrogna bilder. För interaktiva miljöer, som exempelvis datorspel, måste en ny bild vara genererad och klar att visas på skärmen mellan 30-60 gånger i sekunden för att upplevelsen ska kännas responsiv och för att rörelser ska flyta på ett naturligt sätt. För att datorn ska hinna meThe field of computer graphics refers to the use of computers to generate realistic-looking images from virtual scenes. Graphics processing units use an algorithm known as rasterization to compute images of scenes viewed from a virtual camera. The commonly used pinhole camera model does not account for the imperfections that stem from the physical limitations in real-world cameras. This includes,
In order to assess the non-evaporative components of the reduced thermal insulation of wet clothing, experiments were performed with a manikin and with human subjects in which two layers of underwear separated by an impermeable barrier were worn under an impermeable overgarment at 20 °C, 80% RH and 0.5 ms-1 air velocity. By comparing manikin measurements with dry and wetted mid underwear layer, th
This study reports carbon and water fluxes between the land surface and atmosphere in eleven different ecosystems types in Sub-Saharan Africa, as measured using eddy covariance (EC) technology in the first two years of the CarboAfrica network operation. The ecosystems for which data were available ranged in mean annual rainfall from 320 mm (Sudan) to 1150 mm (Republic of Congo) and include a spect
In a multicultural society, different cultures come in contact with each other which leads to many people need to relate to several cultures in their everyday lives. This study is aimed to highlight, analyze and discuss how young adult Malmö residents with a foreign background, reason about their identity creation in an environment where they are often reminded that they are different from the cro
Ultraljud och mikrochip kan hjälpa oss att förstå cancer bättre En tumör och dess omgivning spelar stor roll i hur cancer utvecklas och genom att förstå vilka celler den består av och sortera ut de viktigaste kan man öka kunskapen om hur cancern bäst ska bekämpas. I detta arbete har immunceller från sådan upplöst bröstvävnad sorteras ut med hjälp av ett mikrochip med små kanaler samt en ultraljudThe aim of this thesis was to compare different ways of dissociating tissue - specifically breast cancer tissue - and sorting out tumour cells and immune cells from the dissociated tissue using acoustophoresis in a microfluidic chip. Due to ethical issues with using tumour tissues to work on the methodology of a project, ultimately only healthy breast tissue was used in this work. Two dissociatio
Flera olika synsätt på rättskraftens omfattning har genom historien presenterats. Traditionellt sett har ett samband mellan rättskraften i 17 kap. 11 § Rättegångsbalken (RB) och 13 kap. 3 § st. 3 RB, taleändringsregeln, utpekats. Genom Högsta domstolens avgöranden har rättskraften utvidgats och rättsläget börjat klarna. Denna uppsats syftar till att dels undersöka rättskraftens omfattning närmre, Several different opinions on the scope of res judicata have been presented throughout history. Traditionally a connection between res judicata in chapter 17, article 11 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (RB) and the rule of amendment in chapter 13, article 3, paragraph 3 RB has been pointed out. Through the rulings of the Supreme Court the scope of res judicata has been expanded and its d
In the last 30 years, a new mobile communications generation has been developed every 7 to 10 years. The last one that is currently under development is the Fifth Generation. This generation aims to fulfill a wide range of requirements for different use cases. To that end, a new radio access technology called New Radio (NR) has been developed. The main design principle behind NR is to allow enoug
Sydvästra Grönlands arkeiska berggrund (North Atlantic Craton, NAC) intruderades av ett stort antal mafiska intrusioner och diabasgångar under arkeikum och proterozoikum, vars åldrar är dåligt kända. Detta arbete omfattar dateringar av fem intrusioner med U-Pb metoden av mineralen zirkon och baddeleyit från tre olika generationer av mafiska bergarter. En mafisk-ultramafisk lagrad intrusion i FiskeThe Archaean bedrock of southern Greenland (the North Atlantic Craton) is host to a large number of mafic intrusions and dyke swarms. This study present a robust U-Pb zircon age of 2990.1 ± 13 Ma for a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Fiskefjord region and four baddeleyite U-Pb ages of doleritic dykes that range between c. 2500 and c. 2050-2030 Ma. The dyke located SE of Ameralik Fjord is
