En kritisk genomgång av svensk och internationell litteratur kring innemiljöns påverkan på människans hälsa - det område som på engelska sammanfattas under begreppen SBS (Sick building syndrome) och IAQ (Indoor air quality).

In this letter the distribution of slow target associated particles emitted in Au + Emulsion interactions at 11.6 A GeV/c is studied, The three models RQMD, FRITIOF and VENUS are used for comparisons and especially their treatment of rescattering is investigated.

The magnetic moments of the 8(+) yrast state in Zr-86 and the 17/2(-) and 21/2(+) yrast states in Nb-87 have been measured via the IMPAD technique, The nuclei were produced in the Ni-58(S-32,Xp) reaction; the time-integral Larmor precessions were measured after recoil implantation into a polarised Fe foil. The g-factors are used to deduce the character of the g(9/2) Shell alignments within the sta

The effects of UV-C (254 nm), UV-A (365 nm) and broad-band UV (280-380 nm) on guard cells of Vicia faba L. cv. Long Pod were investigated in the presence of white light (450 .mu.mol m-2 s-1). UV-C (7 .mu.mol m-2 s-1) was found to cause leakage of 86Rb+ from guard cells, while UV-A (0.3 .mu.mol m-2 s-1) stimulated increased uptake in these cells. A relatively small stimulatory effect was observed b

This review discusses the complicated two-electron dynamics of a helium atom in an intense, short laser pulse. A helium gas in femtosecond laser pulses at long wave lengths (lambda similar to 700 nm) and high intensities (I similar to 10(15) W/cm(2)) produces surprisingly high numbers of He2+ ions. These laser fields cause large and fast electron oscillations, which makes a solution of the time-de

It has been shown that the potential for environmental, and financial improvements through the increased substitution of inperson meetings by virtual communication is considerable. However, it has also been shown that this potential is not automatically realized by investing in the technology that can enable virtual meetings. This paper describes two case studies that explored the factors that inf

Diatoms from the surface sediments and sediments cores in the Skagerrak-Kattegat were analyzed and the results were presented in four papers and discussions. The broad aims of this thesis are twofold. The first aim is to correlate diatom data from the surface sediments to modern sedimentary environments, and try to find out the relationships between environmental variables such as salinity, temper

Adenohypophyseal-hormone production is regulated by hypothalamic peptides and target-gland hormones. Additionally, paracrine regulation by folliculo-stellate cells within the pituitary has been suggested. We recently showed TSH receptor expression in human folliculo-stellate cells and speculated that receptors for other adenohypophyseal hormones might also be expressed by folliculo-stellate cells.

A cultivation strategy combining the advantages of temperature-limited fed-batch and probing feeding control is presented. The technique was evaluated in fed-batch cultivations with E. coli BL21(DE3) producing xylanase in a 3 liter bioreactor. A 20% increase in cell mass was achieved and the usual decrease in specific enzyme activity normally observed during the late production phase was diminishe

BACKGROUND: The brain-derived protein S100B has been shown to be a useful marker of brain injury of different etiologies. Cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported to occur in up to 70% of patients. In this study we tried to evaluate S100B as a marker for cognitive dysfunction after coronary bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in a model wher

The deformation of a drop flowing along the centre streamline of a four-roll mill (4RM) has been investigated. The velocities and elongation rates along the centre streamline in the 4RM were measured using particle tracking velocimetry. The deformation and position of the deforming drops were photographed with a video camera. A dynamic, one-dimensional, analytical simulation model describing the d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens huvudsyfte är att studera reella exceptionella Kantortrippelsystem. I första artikeln visar vi först kända resultat i både de reella och komplexa klassiska fallen av K-enkla Kantortrippelsystem. I de reella klassiska fallen ger vår lösning enklare formler. Speciell uppmärksamhet ges till de reella klassiska fallen som är definierade på tensorprodukter av aThe main purpose of this thesis is to study real exceptional Kantor triple systems. In the first paper we first prove the known results in both the real and complex classical cases of K-simple Kantor triple systems. In the real classical case our approach gives somewhat simpler formulas. Special attention is given to all real classical cases of K-simple Kantor triple systems that can be presented

A new DNA variant in the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene has been detected by direct sequencing. The base substitution generates a newDdeO restriction site, thus allowing the design of a rapid polymerase chain reaction assay for analysis of this polymorphism in the population.

This article presents the second study in a series that has been designed to manifest the emergence of consciousness and to measure developed competence. Its major aim has been to demonstrate that an invariant formulation of the Agent-action-Objective model and an analysis of its A-O kinematics have the capacity to re-produce contour similarity over time. Within the studied evolutionary-developmen
