Popular Abstract in English This thesis concerns experiments of heat transfer in a rectangular channel with ribs and an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is used to record the temperature fields in the experiments. LCT is based on measurement of the color response of a heated surface. When illuminated with a white light, the liquid crystals react to temperature changes by changing color,This thesis presents experimental investigations of local heat transfer in a rectangular channel (aspect ratio AR = 4) with continuous transverse ribs as well as an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is employed to obtain the temperature fields in the heat transfer experiments. The liquid crystal applied here has a red start at 35°C and a bandwidth of 1°C. The work consists of (1) periodi

Popular Abstract in English Heme is a small red-colored molecule consisting of an iron atom bound to a chemical structure called porphyrin. Heme is essential for many organisms, including humans, because it is a cofactor in a variety of proteins that are needed to sustain metabolism. The probably most famous heme protein is hemoglobin which gives blood its red color. The heme cofactor in hemoglobiHeme proteins form a large and diverse group of proteins which are involved in a variety of biological functions. The heme prosthetic group enables them to carry out redox reactions, transport electrons, bind gaseous molecules, and function as sensors. Despite their importance only little is generally known about heme protein biogenesis. The Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is found i

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively describe self-reported outcomes up to 5 years after total knee replacement (TKR) in Osteoarthritis (OA) and to study which patient-relevant factors may predict outcomes for pain and physical function (PF). METHODS: 102 consecutive patients with knee OA, 63 women and 39 men, mean age 71 (51-86) assigned for TKR at the Department of Orthopaedics at Lund University Hospita

This dissertation is a contribution to the knowledge of the computational complexity of discrete combinatorial problems. 1. The first problem that we consider is to compute the maximum independent set of a box graph, that is, given a set of orthogonal boxes in the plane compute the largest subset such that no boxes in the subset overlap. We provide an $mathtt{exp}(O(sqrt nlog n))$-time algorithm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Popularized summary in Swedish (Sammanfattning på svenska) Blödarsjuka - hemofili - är en ärftlig sjukdom som endast uppträder hos män och som överföres av kvinnliga bärare vilka ej är blödare. Sjukdomen tar sig uttryck i en abnorm blödningsbenägenhet med framför allt ledblödningar och då redan från tidig ålder. Det finns två typer av blödarsjuka, hemofili A respektiveIn patients with severe hemophilia it is today possible to prevent the development of arthropathy by giving effective continuous prophylaxis from an early age, thus preventing the VIII:C or IX:C concentration from falling below 1% of normal. All the signs show that if a high-dose prophylactic regimen - that is, 3,000-5,000 U/kg body weight annually - is started as early as 1-2 years of age, the pa

Popular Abstract in English Fish are an excellent source of healthy protein and fat in the human nutrition. However, the fisheries cannot supply enough of fish to satisfy the demand of a growing world’s population. Sustainable aquaculture can help feeding the growing world. This business is growing every year, and together with it the fish farms and fish feed factories are growing. This created thAs aquaculture expands, the volume of fish feed produced and transported must also increase. Therefore a better understanding and increased control of the factors that influence the physical quality of feed pellets is required. To achieve this goal, reliable methods measuring the physical quality of feed are needed. The Holmen pellet tester (NHP 100) could be adapted for this purpose, but the spec

Globalisering, ny teknologi och demografiska förändringar innebär genomgripande förändringar av arbetsmiljö och arbetsorganisation. Om arbetsmiljöpolitiken då inte är tydlig och viljeinriktad finns en påtaglig risk för ett polariserat arbetsliv, där de som kan välja mellan olika arbetsgivare får en god och utvecklande arbetsmiljö, medan de andra riskerar att bli hänvisade till förhållanden där int

Purpose Cholesterol-lowering medication (CLM) has been reported to have a role in preventing breast cancer recurrence. CLM may attenuate signaling through the estrogen receptor by reducing levels of the estrogenic cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol. The impact of endocrine treatment on cholesterol levels and hypercholesterolemia per se may counteract the intended effect of aromatase inhi

All animals and some bacteria can synthesize linear polysaccharides with a backbone of repeating disaccharideunits, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The GAGs are either attached to a protein core, as in proteoglycans (PGs), or exist as free polymer chains, as in hyaluronan. One of the most common types of GAGs is chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS), where the repeating disaccharide backbone consAll animals and some bacteria can synthesize linear polysaccharides with a backbone of repeating disaccharideunits, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. FSC was quantified u

In December 2019, news came from China about a mysterious virus that infected people in the Chinese city of Wuhan. During the following weeks the disease spread further to a number of countries all over the world (DW 2019). The new disease turns out to be very dangerous and highly contagious. While the pandemic spread and people died disinformation started to spread in the media, social media, and

I svensk rätt finns i dagsläget ingen bestämmelse om allmän skyldighet att bistå nödställda. Frågan har, historiskt sett, behandlats i utredningar och flertalet motioner har lagts fram men alla har gått i avstyrkande riktning. I brist på en straffsanktionerad hjälpplikt kan enskilda trots förmåga och hjälpmedel välja att inte ingripa utan att straffas. Lagstiftaren menar att försiktighet måste iak
