Passenger assessments of quality in local public transport- measurement, variability and planning implications

Popular Abstract in Swedish Resenärernas värderingar av kvalitet i lokal kollektivtrafik – hur man kan mäta dem, hur de varierar och hur man kan använda dem i planeringen Syftet med arbetet har varit att ta fram ett mer detaljerat underlag för planering av lokal kollektivtrafik. Med mer kunskap om hur olika grupper av resenärer värderar olika delar av en kollektivtrafikresa kan kollektivtrafiknätThe aim of this work was to get a more detailed basis for planning of local public transport. With more knowledge of how segments of travellers assess different parts of a journey, bus routes can be planned to fit either all passengers or selected groups better. It will also be possible to evaluate perceived travel utility separately for each category of passengers. Stated Preference questionnaire

Effects of acetabular resurfacing component material and fixation on the strain distribution in the pelvis

A 3D finite element (FE) model of an implanted pelvis was developed as part of a project investigating an all-polymer hip resurfacing design. The model was used to compare this novel design with a metal-on-metal design in current use and a metal-on-polymer design typical of early resurfacing implants. The model included forces representing the actions of 22 muscles as well as variable cancellous b

Transferability of tag SNPs in genetic association studies in multiple populations

A general question for linkage disequilibrium-based association studies is how power to detect an association is compromised when tag SNPs are chosen from data in one population sample and then deployed in another sample. Specifically, it is important to know how well tags picked from the HapMap DNA samples capture the variation in other samples. To address this, we collected dense data uniformly

Bronchoscopic diagnosis of pulmonary infections in a heterogeneous, nonselected group of patients

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and protected specimen brush technique has become an established method for etiologic diagnosis in severe forms of pulmonary infections during recent years. In this study, including 62 bronchoscopies in 53 patients, a standardized program, covering all important pulmonary pathogens, has been evaluated in a heterogeneous group of patients. Results

Characterization of N-representable n-particle densities when N is infinite

We have found necessary and sufficient conditions for the n-particle density to be N-representable for infinite A, if n is even. There are some mild restrictions on the one-density for these conditions to apply. The method is based on the Mercer expansion theorem. We suggest a simple method for total energy calculations based on this characterization also if the number of particles is finite. (c)

Quantum interference in organic solid

We demonstrate high contrast quantum interference between one-photon and three-photon absorption pathways in an organic solid at room temperature. Illumination of a thin polymer film activated with fluorescing dendrimer chromophores of large three photon absorption cross section with two simultaneous femtosecond pulses at near-IR frequency. and its third harmonic UV frequency 3. results in a spati

The biology of nerve injury and repair

A peripheral nerve injury has a profound impact on the patient’s life and such an injury causes high costs for society. A peripheral nerve injury is a very complex injury because it involves both peripheral and central components of the nervous system all the way from targets at muscle and skin receptors up to the brain. In the neuron and its supporting cells—mainly Schwann cells—there are numerou

Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Processing in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Crystals

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ljusets minsta kända beståndsdelar kallas fotoner. Enligt kvantmekaniken har dessa egenskaper som normalt förknippas med vågor och samtidigt sådana egenskaper som normalt förknippas med partiklar. Partikelegenskaperna tar sig uttryck i att den minsta mängd ljus som går att mäta är den mängd som motsvaras av en foton. Vågegenskaperna, å andra sidan, visar sig i interfereIn this thesis, aspects of the use of cryogenically cooled rare-earth-ion-doped crystals in the fields of quantum optics and quantum information processing are addressed. The experiments and theoretical considerations referred to in this thesis are based on the coherent transient interaction between light and the ions in the crystals. A photon echo experiment has been performed where faint optica

Heterogeneity of the O alleles at the blood group ABO locus in Amerindians

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Amerindians are blood group O, but the distribution of the various O alleles is unknown. Their ABO genotypes were compared with samples from other Brazilian ethnic groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA was examined by PCR-RFLP analysis, PCR-SSP and direct sequencing. RESULTS: An unusual allele distribution was found, with 91% of the O alleles being O1variant. Almost

Fetal cerebral blood flow velocity during labor and the early neonatal period

This study was performed to elucidate circulatory changes in the fetal cerebral circulation during uncomplicated labor and in early neonatal life. Eighteen healthy term singleton fetuses were followed longitudinally during labor. Using the transabdominal approach, and the color Doppler technique, the middle cerebral artery was identified and Doppler flow velocity waveforms recorded between and dur

Internal frost damage in concrete - experimental studies of destruction mechanisms

The aim of the study was to identify mechanisms acting at internal frost destruction of concrete. By 'internal frost destruction' is meant damage caused inside concrete that is moisture insulated from the surroundings, i.e. when no moisture exchange with the surroundings is possible during freeze-thaw. Thus, the aim was not to investigate destruction processes (scaling) taking place at the surface
