Liquid-crystalline cubic-phase nanoparticles (CPNPs) (known as Cubosome particles), based on the lipid glycerol monooleate and stabilized by the nonionic block copolymer Pluronic F-127, interact with supported model membranes consisting of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) in a complex and dynamic fashion. Neutron reflectivity measurements on the interaction of CPNPs with bilayers of different co

The Prototype Repository, at the Aspo HRL (Hard Rock Laboratory), is a demonstration project for the deposition of spent nuclear fuel, and provides a full-scale reference for testing predictive models relating to a spent nuclear fuel repository, both its individual components as well as the complete system. The final layout involves six deposition holes, four in an inner section and two in an oute

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to gain a better understanding of how public librarians describe their interactions with Google Search, as well as their opinions on both the company and the search engine Google. The main focus of interest is the information seeking process that public librarians perform in response to questions from library users, and the alternatives and choices, such as d

Singapore has remarkably transformed from a small and poor Southeast Asian island into an affluent global city-state today. However, in contemporary times, the distribution of the gains from the nation’s progress and prosperity has been increasingly unequal. An understanding of the extent of income inequality is imperative to reassess the current policies and resource allocation decisions. The aim

In this master’s thesis, the development of a new belt tensioning solution, for use in ASSA ABLOY's sliding doors is treated. As a starting point for the work, ASSA ABLOY’s current belt tension solution has been used as a reference. On this reference, an extensive problem analysis have been carried out, including interviews, field studies and laboratory tests in order to understand what is req

Introduction Health technology assessment (HTA) is an area that remains less implemented in low- and lower middle-income countries. The aim of the study is to understand the perceptions of stakeholders in Uganda toward HTA and its role in decision making, in order to inform its potential implementation in the country. Methods The study takes a cross-sectional mixed methods approach, utilizing an a

Background: The T-peak-to-T-end ($\mathrm{T}_{pe}$) interval has shown potential in predicting ventricular arrhythmic risk. It is an appealing index to be measured during ischemia since it is less influenced by ST-segment changes than the early part of the T wave. A time-warping-based index, derived from a spat

The conceptual shift in the expectations of the wireless users from voice towards multimedia, from availability towards acceptable quality, and from stand-alone towards group-oriented computing has a significant impact on today's networks in terms of the need for mobility, quality of service (QoS) and multicasting. Ad hoc networks, being independent of any fixed infrastructure, can provide mobile

Popular Abstract in English This thesis is concerned with the efficient generation of ultra-short light pulses, far beyond the visible spectral range. Such light pulses can reach durations below 100 attoseconds, where one attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second. Why do we want to generate such extreme light pulses? Our knowledge of basic processes in physics and chemistry is to a

Modern working life is characterized by change and competiveness. It is also characterized by a drift away from low-skilled work to more complex jobs and increased social interaction. This means that the human resources employees and their skills, competencies, engagement and motivation are the greatest asset of many organizations. This has implications for how an organization can be healthy, i.e.

The oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) gives a range of products, from semi-volatile to extremely low-volatility compounds. To treat the interaction of these secondary organic vapours with the particle phase, global aerosol microphysics models generally use either a thermodynamic partitioning approach (assuming instant equilibrium between semi-volatile oxidation products and

We show that the 2.4σ signal of the leptonic flavor violating (LFV) Higgs boson decay h→μτ, as observed by the CMS Collaboration recently, can be explained by a certain class of two-Higgs doublet models that allow controllable flavor-changing neutral current with a minimal number of free parameters. We postulate that (i) the alignment limit is maintained, which means the lightest neutral scalar (h

In contrast to static objects, liquid structures such as drops, blobs, as well as waves and ripples on water surfaces are challenging to image in 3D due to two main reasons: First, the transient nature of those phenomena requires snapshot imaging that is fast enough to freeze the motion of the liquid. Second, the transparency of liquids and the specular reflections from their surfaces induce compl

In this paper, we investigate a Multi-layer Aerial system for GenAI inference at the Edge (MAGE). Therein, ground user equipments (UEs) request image synthesis services from a remote base station (BS) that leverages the Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) for image generation. Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are deployed to serve the UEs for relaying their images and prompts to the BS. To reduce

The resistivity method is an established geophysical method with a broad range of engineering and environmental applications. It has been tried numerous times on embankment dams, mainly for seepage investigations, dam status control and investigations of known defects. In previous use of the method on embankment dams some success has been reported, but only occasionally. The method is still not co

Popular Abstract in English This dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a cThis dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a comparative study, using inte

Abstract in UndeterminedCompanies in the food industry are driven to improve their traceability for several reasons. The primary reasons are food safety and quality. Another is the response to the increased interest among consumers in imperceptible product attributes such as organic, fair trade, dolphin-safe and non genetically modified (non-GMO). Such attributes are hard to distinguish and thus r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mellan 0.3 och 2.1 % av alla barn föds med portvins fläckar (PWS). Till skillnad mot vissa andra kärlmissbildningar försvinner inte PWS utan tvärtom blir många mer blåröda och tjockare med åren. Majoriteten av patienterna upplever sig vara negativt psykosocialt påverkade av sitt PWS i jämförelse med jämnåriga. Dessa negativa upplevelser minskar efter behandlingarna.(Se This thesis covers 12 years of experience in treating patients with congenital capillary malformations, so called port wine stains (PWS). The wide variation in treatment response to laser therapy has developed a profound need for the development of objective devises to measure treatment outcome, so that the maximum effectiveness of therapy can be achieved without unnecessary treatments. The purpos

Popular Abstract in Swedish Skulle p53-målgenen TRIM22 kunna skydda mot cancer uppkomst? Frisk blodbildning En frisk vuxen människa har mellan fyra och sex liter blod, beroende på individens kroppsstorlek. Blodet produceras i benmärgen som finns i skelettbenen. Varje sekund bildas normalt i benmärgen tre till fyra miljoner blodkroppar från våra stamceller. Blodkropparna är specialiserade celler The tumor suppressor gene p53 is a transcription factor that mediates cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and differentiation. p53 mediated differentiation of leukemic cells depends on the transcriptional activity of p53 but so far no obvious differentiation inducing target gene has been identified. Using a cDNA microarray analysis, I identified TRIM22/Staf50 as a novel direct target gene to p53. The fun
