Shot noise in tunneling through a single quantum dot

We investigate the noise properties of a zero-dimensional InAs quantum dot (QD) embedded in a GaAs-AlAs-GaAs tunneling structure. We observe an approximately linear dependence of the Fano factor and the current as a function of bias voltage. Both effects can be linked to the scanning of the three-dimensional emitter density of states by the QD. At the current step the shape of the Fano factor is m

Cretaceous palynofloras from southern Scandinavia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen omfattar studiet av fossila pollen och sporer (palynologi) från skånes krita (90-140 miljoner år gamla sediment). För ändamålet har tre borrkärnor provtagits; Höllviken 2, Norrevång 1 och Svedala 1, samt ytprover från överkritan på Bornholm. RESULTAT * Taxonomiska studier baserade på ca 100 arter (ca. 15 000 exemplar), har möjliggjort en stratigrafisk indeA palynological investigation of Cretaceous sequences from Höllviken 2, Svedala 1 and Norrevång 1 wells of Scania, Southern Sweden, and from the Arnager Greensand-Arnager Limestone transition on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, was conducted. Well preserved palynofloras were found in strata consisting of shaly mudstones, glauconitic sandstones (greensand) and limestone. A total of 98 palynomorph t

Jämviktsprovtagning

Jämviktsprovtagning genom membran är ett nytt koncept där porösa hålfibrer används för upprening, anrikning och mätning av polära organiska föreningar och metaller. Metoden kan användas såväl i laboratoriet som till fältprovtagning

Differential impairment of glucagon responses to hypoglycemia, neuroglycopenia, arginine, and carbachol in alloxan-diabetic mice.

To gain insight into the mechanisms responsible for the loss of the glucagon response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes, glucagon responses to 4 different stimuli were examined over 3 months of diabetes in alloxan-treated mice. At 1, 6, and 12 weeks after alloxan (60 mg/kg), phloridzin (0.1 g/kg) was administered to overnight fasted diabetic mice to match the glucose levels of tho

Comparative study of methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins

BACKGROUND: Methylation at CpG dinucleotides in genomic DNA is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism of gene expression control in vertebrates. Proteins with a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) can bind to single methylated CpGs and most of them are involved in transcription control. So far, five vertebrate MBD proteins have been described as MBD family members: MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, MBD4 and MECP2. RESULT

Accurate time-resolved laser spectroscopy on lithium atoms

The lifetime of the lithium 2p2P states has been measured with high accuracy using the delayed coincidence technique with a continuous mode-locked dye laser as the source of the excitation light. The value 27.22 (0.20) ns was obtained. In addition, the hyperfine structure of the7Li 2p2P3/2 state, which can normally scarcely be resolved, has been studied by recording the slow quantum beats at zero

Comparison between tower and aircraft-based eddy covariance fluxes in five European regions

Airborne eddy covariance measurements provide a unique opportunity to directly measure surface energy, mass and momentum fluxes at the regional scale. This offers the possibility to complement the data that are obtained by the ground-based eddy covariance networks and to validate estimates of the surface fluxes that can be obtained by means of satellite products and models. The overall accuracy an

Neuropsychological functions predict 1-and 3-year outcome in first-episode psychosis

Objective: To examine neuropsychological performance as a possible predictor of course and outcome in first-episode psychotic (FEP) patients. Method: A group of consecutive FEP patients (n = 120) tested with Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales-Revised (WAIS-R) at baseline was compared with a healthy group (n = 30) matched for age, education and gender. Relationship between WAIS-R and both Brief Psy

Increasing prevalence of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction: A study of the Swedish population between 1970 and 1997

Objective: To see whether there was an increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastric cardia in the Swedish population. If there is a rising trend and variations in it can be found, could it be explained as a period or cohort phenomenon:? The data were also compared with the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and gastric cancer with the gastric cardia excluded. Design: Retr

The childhood-onset neuropsychiatric background to adulthood psychopathic traits and personality disorders

Childhood conduct disorder (CD) and adult psychopathic traits according to the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R) were the closest psychiatric covariates to repeated violent crimes and aggression among offenders under forensic psychiatric investigation in Sweden. As psychopathy is not included in the present psychiatric diagnostic systems, we compared total and factor PCL-R scores to Axis I dis

Identification and synthesis of new bicyclic acetals from caddisflies (Trichoptera)

As shown by synthesis and enantioselective gas chromatography, males and females of the caddisfly species Potamophylax latipennis and Potamophylax cingulatus produce (1R,3S,5S,7S)-1-ethyl-3,5,7-trimethyl-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, while Glyphotaelius pellucidus produces 1,3-diethyl-4,6-dimethyl-2,7-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, having either the (1S,3S,4R,6S) or (1R,3R,4S,6S)-configuration. As s
