Modelling is a fairly mature technology that is already being adopted by industry. Unfortunately the tools for supporting Model-Driven Engineering are not at the same level of maturity. In particular merge tools that are an important help for collaboration lack a lot to be desired in providing the support that is needed on industrial projects. Current model merge tools and research approaches focu
Eosinophils have a characteristic content of cationic proteins, stored in core-containing specific granules and released at sites of inflammation; coreless granules (sometimes called primary) are present in eosinophil promyelocytes. In order to determine a possible relationship between the two granule subsets, immunoelectron-microscopic techniques were used to determine the presence and precise in
This paper considers the role of digital recording methods and visualisation tools in the primary recording of archaeology at the Neolithic tell site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey. Operating within and building on Çatalhöyük Research Project's understanding of reflexive methods (Hodder 2000b, 2003; Berggren and Nilson 2014; Berggren et al. 2015) we incorporate elements of science and technology studies (P
In this thesis we have performed a systematic atomic scale characterization of model catalysts under pressures ranging from UHV to atmospheric ambient. By using a unique approach, linking UHV and high pressures studies by combining traditional electron based techniques with novel high pressure in situ probes and ab initio calculations, the surface structure of the different model catalysts could b
In order to reduce parasite-induced mortality, hosts may be involved in mutualistic interactions in which the partner contributes to resistance against the parasite. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris (Hemiptera: Aphididae), harbours secondary bacterial endosymbionts, some of which have been reported to confer resistance against aphid parasitoids. Although this resistance often results in d
Modelica allows systems to be described with reuseable components and with a high precision. To be able to use such complex models efficiently, high demands are set on tools that allow the user to extract the information needed from the models in a straight-forward manner. For this purpose, design-of-experiments techniques can be used to systematically analyze the complex models.In this paper, it
The kinetics for the reactions between the six complexes PtCln(H2O)4-n−2n, n = 0,1,2,3,4 (including cis- and trans-isomers for n=2) and the entering ligands Y = Cl−, Br−, I−, SCN−, and DMSO have been studied. The experiments with PtCl42− and trans- PtCl2(H2O)2 give the usual two-term rate constant kexp = k1 + k2[Y], when no extra chloride has been added to the solutions. The parameter k1 can be id
BACKGROUND: Consumption of soluble dietary fibre is correlated with decreased postprandial glucose and insulin responses and hence has beneficial effects on the metabolic syndrome. AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the effects on postprandial glucose, insulin and triglyceride concentrations of meals enriched with soluble dietary fibres from oats, rye bran, sugar beet fibre or a mixture of these thr
Inclusive e(+/-)p single and double differential cross sections for neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering processes are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 319 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 333.7 pb(-1) shared between two lepton beam charges and two longitudinal lepton polarisation modes. The differential cro
BACKGROUND: Situational needs of health care facilities inform the optimal allocation of resources and quality improvement efforts. This study examines surgical care delivery metrics at a tertiary care institution in Liberia. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed operative and ward logbooks from January 1 to December 31, 2012. Data parameters included patients' age, diagnosis, procedure, mortality,
Lund University and Universität Hamburg: Call for proposals April 2023 – March 2025 Universität Hamburg (UHH) and Lund University (LU) have agreed to jointly support promising collaborative initiatives with pump-priming funds with the aim of leading to externally funded research, larger scale collaborations, jointly authored papers as well as common teaching activities at the advanced level (maste

PEG 12-acyloxy-stearates are used as drug delivery carriers that have low cell damage effects. The mechanical and physical properties surrounding these processes and surfactants are still however not known. In this study, the physicochemical micellar properties of PEG 12-acyloxy-stearates were characterized by optical microscopic, nuclear magnetic resonance, and small-angle X-ray scattering techni
One of the unsolved puzzles in democratization studies today is the prevalence of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East. Previous comparative studies have overlooked the region because it does not contain a single case of successful democratization. Middle Eastern scholars, on the other hand, tend to lack the theoretical tools on what it would take for this area to democratize. The purpose of t
Natural resources hold a great potential for both economic and social development in developing countries. Many countries in Africa today are rich in natural resources but remain poor and underdeveloped. Policies and legislation within this sector need to provide a good framework in order for the natural resources to be properly managed. This report aims at discussing the difficulties in managing
The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of development policies towards ethnic minorities in urban Xinjiang. Try to find out how ethnic minorities define themselves and be defined by others along with the changing circumstances and interests which caused by the implementation of development policies. Semi-structured interview was the main method to collect first-hand data. Observati
Purpose The purpose is to outline the conditions for a new service system in healthcare, which will be able to match the available capacity in and between healthcare units in order to match the need of care for the patients. Methodology By drawing on statements from patients, experiences from similar services (a literature review), empirical research into the effects of the reforms on free choice
Close collaboration is considered important; but is close collaboration for all purchases necessary to create value-in-production? In construction as well as in other industries, companies purchase a variety of items that require different amounts of attention to the relationship with suppliers. Buyer-supplier relationships are investigated in relation to how they bring value-in-production in the
In this article, we attempt to develop a meta-language for a relational approach to urban walking that is able to account for walking as a mutable, embodied, materially heterogeneous and distributed activity. Following the perspective on walking as developed in a series of articles by Jennie Middleton, we develop a notion of the walker as a socio-technical assemblage. By recognising walking as an
