In the work described in the present thesis, laser techniques for combustion engine diagnostics were developed and applied. The main techniques were laser-induced incandescence (LII) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), used for both flame and engine diagnostics. A novel technique was developed, one in which the relative fuel distribution, as measured by planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF),

Aims: This study aims to describe the development of a Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Registry in Jordan (CPUP-Jordan) and to provide a baseline child and parent demographic information, birth history of the child participants, and distribution of the participants based on topographical distribution of cerebral palsy (CP) and functional classification systems. Methods: The CPUP-Jordan was developed usin

Aerosol-cloud interactions contribute to a large portion of the spread in estimates of climate forcing, climate sensitivity and future projections. An important part of this uncertainty is how much new particle formation (NPF) contributes to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and, furthermore, how this changes with changes in anthropogenic emissions. Incorporating NPF and early growth in Earth system

Aktieägaravtal utgör ett vanligt styrinstrument inom aktiebolagsrätten. En vanlig variant är röstbindningsavtal som föreskriver hur avtalsparterna ska rösta vid bolagsstämman. I aktiebolag förekommer ofta olika aktieägargrupper, och av förarbetena att döma ska aktiebolagslagen tillgodose en ”balans” mellan olika aktieägarintressen. Mot denna bakgrund framstår röstbindnings- avtal som en intressantThe shareholders’ agreement serves as a fundamental governance instrument in company law. A common form is the voting agreement, which regulates how the parties vote at the general meeting. Companies often consist of different shareholder groups, and the preparatory works indicate that the Swedish Companies Act is intended to maintain a "balance" between different shareholder interests.

Varje år sker företagsöverlåtelser för betydande värden. Företagsförvärv kan skapa stora värden, men det innebär även ett risktagande som kan leda till stora ekonomiska förluster. Ett av flera sätt som parterna kan påverka riskfördelningen mellan varandra är genom garantier. Genom att använda sig av formuleringen ”såvitt säljaren vet”, det vill säga en subjektiv garanti, kan säljaren minska det riEvery year mergers and acquisitions of significant value take place. An acquisition can create a large amount of wealth. However, it also involves taking risks, which can create big economic losses. One of many ways that the involved parties can affect the risk distribution between the parties is by using guarantees. By using the wording ”as far as the seller knows”, i.e. a subjective guarantee, t

We show that conformational entropies calculated for five proteins and protein-ligand complexes with dihedral-distribution histogramming, the von Mises approach, or quasi-harmonic analysis do not converge to any useful precision even if molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 380-500 ns length are employed (the uncertainty is 12-89 kJ mol(-1)). To explain this, we suggest a simple protein model inv

Brain hypothermia is at present the most effective neuroprotective treatment against brain ischemia in man. Ischemia induces a redistribution of proteins involved in synaptic functions, which is markedly diminished by therapeutic hypothermia (33 degrees C). Dendritic spines at excitatory synapses are motile and show both shape changes and rearrangement of synaptic proteins as a consequence of neur

Microstructure and crystallographic texture are the key factors that determine the sputtering target properties. Clock rolling plays an important role in improving the microstructure homogeneity, but the effect of strain during rolling on deformation and recrystallization behavior is not clear. Thus, high-purity tantalum (Ta) plates were 135° clock rolled to 70% and 87% reduction and then annealed

Detta examensarbete behandlar de tekniska förutsättningarna för att ansluta en större industrikund till ett befintligt elnät. Fokus ligger på kapacitetsbedömning, nätpåverkan samt val av lämplig anslutningslösning. Arbetet bygger på en kombination av litteraturstudie, intervjuer med nätbolag och simuleringar i DIgSILENT PowerFactory. En förenklad nätmodell har tagits fram för att analysera hur en This thesis investigates the technical aspects of connecting a large industrial customer to an existing electrical distribution network. The study focuses on capacity assessment, network impact, and the selection of an appropriate connection solution. The work is based on a combination of literature review, interviews with network operators, and simulations performed in DIgSILENT PowerFactory. A

Aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s

Many high spin rotational bands in superdeformed nuclei have been found in the A ~ 140-150 region, but so far no linking transitions to known normal-deformed states have been found in these nuclei. Therefore, configuration and spin assignments have to be based on indirect spectroscopic information. Identical bands were first discovered in this region of superdeformed shapes. At present, som

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the influence of wall conduction on the heat transfer of supercritical n-decane in the active regenerative cooling channels. Design/methodology/approach: A horizontally placed rectangular pipe with a solid zone and another one without a solid zone were used. A drastic variation of thermo-physical properties was emphatically addressed. Afte

Introduction. Up until now, only minimal research has been carried out on those female genital organs known to contribute to the normal cycle of sexual arousal and orgasm. Some findings indicated that there might be a significance of cyclic nucleotide-mediated pathways in the control of the normal function of female genital tissues. Aim. To elucidate, by means of immunohistochemistry, the distribu

Modern gas turbines always operate at a high level of inlet temperature. The current inlet temperature in the aircraft and heavy duty gas turbines is higher than the melting point of the guide vane material. Consequently, advanced cooling schemes must be developed to ensure the safe operation of gas turbines. In the current study, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the influence o

Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a modulator of neuronal transmission in mature neuronal systems, including the retina. Recently, NO has also been suggested to have a trophic function during development. We examined immunocytochemically the distribution of NO-producing cells in developing and transplanted rabbit retinas. An antibody detecting the neuronal isoform of its biosynthetic enzyme, nitric oxide

Engine lubrication is very important for engine sustainability and efficiency. It becomes even more important when heavier fuel types who contributes to lubrication are changed to alternative fuel without the same lubrication abilities. Because the performance of lubrication systems sometimes can be very hard to study in real time due to hostile environments inside engines, specialized techniques

The aim of this thesis project is to evaluate the performance of cylindrical diffuser fibers in IPDT. Spectracure AB has developed a system for real time monitoring of dose parameters during IPDT treatment of prostate cancer using bare-end fiber tips. One of the parameters that is monitored is the effective attenuation coefficient, mu_{eff}, and the goal of this thesis is to study how well this pa

The use of radio-labeled somatostatin analogs, such as 177Lu-labelled DOTATATE, in PRRT, has based on the studies performed until now, shown to be promising for RNT disseminated neuroendocrine tumors [1]. In this regard, the aim of treatment is to assure the delivery of the highest possible absorbed dose to the tumor cells, while saving the normal tissues [1], meaning, to achieve a higher activity
