Acoustically excited microstructures have demonstrated significant potential for small-scale biomedical applications by overcoming major microfluidic limitations. Recently, the application of oscillating microbubbles has demonstrated their superiority over acoustically excited solid structures due to their enhanced acoustic streaming at low input power. However, their limited temporal stability hi
We study sharp-edge structures that are used in microfluidic systems for particle and cell manipulation. Experiments show that oscillating sharp edges can attract or repel particles suspended in a microfluidic channel. This effect is caused by acoustic radiation forces induced by sharp edges. We propose an analytical theory that allows one to evaluate the acoustic radiation force produced by a sha
Droplet microfluidics enables high-throughput screening of single cells and is particularly valuable for applications, where the secreted compounds are analyzed. Typically, optical methods are employed for analysis, which are limited in their applicability as labeling protocols are required. Alternative label-free methods such as mass spectrometry would broaden the range of assays but are harmful
The effect of acoustic streaming produced by sharp-edge structures is used in a variety of microfluidic applications, such as fluid mixing, pumping and particle manipulation. Since most investigations into this effect are experimental, there is a necessity in theoretical studies that could provide a deeper insight into the mechanism of the acoustic streaming and point out ways for optimizing acous
Two-dimensional (2D) metal-particle focusing is an essential task for various fabrication processes. While acoustofluidic devices can manipulate particles in two-dimensions, the production of these devices often demands a cleanroom environment. Therefore, acoustically excited glass capillaries present a cheap alternative to labor-intensive cleanroom production. Here, we present 2D metal microparti
BACKGROUND: Periampullary cancer is a term for cancers arising in or in close proximity to the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer death for both sexes and while surgery is the only option for cure, chemotherapy is given in both the adjuvant and palliative settings. The aim of this study was to investigate any sex and gender differences in patients with pancreatic and ot
Acoustic correlates of physical effort are still poorly understood, even though effort is vocally communicated in a variety of contexts with crucial fitness consequences, including both confrontational and reproductive social interactions. In this study 33 lay participants spoke during a brief, but intense isometric hold (L-sit), first without any voice-related instructions, and then asked either
This report documents the presentations and discussions which took place on 15 June 2022 at the "Virtual Workshop on Semantic mapping of excavation data" on Zoom. The event was organised as an open forum to illustrate aspects of the work carried out by the Archaeological Excavation Modelling Working Group, a sub-group within WP 4.4.12. The presenters, both Partners and Associate Partners of the AR
This dissertation explores and compares the rationalities through which Danish state officials sought to govern the colonized Afro-Caribbean population in the colony of the Danish West Indies and the state’s Danish subjects living in the metropole of Denmark in the period 1770-1900. Theoretically, it relies upon Michel Foucault’s conception of ’governmentality’ and the way this approach to governi
This dissertation discusses mainly new cryptanalytical results related to issues of securely implementing the next generation of asymmetric cryptography, or Public-Key Cryptography (PKC).PKC, as it has been deployed until today, depends heavily on the integer factorization and the discrete logarithm problems.Unfortunately, it has been well-known since the mid-90s, that these mathematical problems
Vi lever i en tid då arbetslivet – både i Sverige och globalt – genomgår storaförändringar och står inför stora utmaningar. Arbetslivsforskning har därför enstor samhällelig relevans. Men hur står det egentligen till med arbetslivsforskningen vid Lunds universitet? Hur många arbetslivsforskare finns det och var någonstans håller de hus? Och hur ser de på förutsättningarna för att bedriva arbetsliv
Laboratory x-ray micro- and nano-tomography are emerging techniques in biomedical research. Through the use of phase-contrast, sufficient contrast can be achieved in soft tissue to support medical studies. With ongoing developments of x-ray sources and detectors, biomedical studies can increasingly be performed at the laboratory and do not necessary require synchrotron radiation. Particularly nano
Climate change poses special and new challenges to inland waters, requiring intensive monitoring. An application based on an autonomous operation swimming vehicle (ASV) is being developed that will provide simulations, spatially and depth-resolved water parameter monitoring, bathymetry detection, and respiration measurement. A clustered load system is integrated with a high-resolution sonar system
Molecular oxygen is essential for most living species. Consequently, hypoxic or ischemic conditions are major cellular stressors and prominent pathological features in ischemic stroke. Stroke is a global health problem and remains the second leading cause of death or disability worldwide. Current management of the disease focuses on rapid reperfusion by thrombolysis or thrombectomy but these thera
Digitalisation of the public sector is advocated for as an efficient and responsive approach to the delivery of public services. In this article, we analyse the role of digitalisation from a bottom-up perspective as we zoom in on socially marginalised citizens’ access to welfare rights in the context of the digitalised Danish welfare state. In the Danish welfare state, the authority and responsibi
Gennem tre nedslag fokuserer denne artikel på de dele af de retlige felter, der ikke normalt undersøges, når juridiske eliter er i søgelyset. Første nedslag diskuterer, hvordan de store advokatfirmaer har forrykket retlige hierarkier og via deres rådgivning af virksomheder og store organisationer får en anden betydning for rettens udvikling end tidligere. Andet nedslag behandler, hvordan globalise
This article seeks to explore the internal and external struggles and battles within the Danish legal profession in the period 1922-1957. Following Bourdieu’s critique of the notion of professions, we provide an insight into how the Danish Bar and Law Society have been shaped through internal power struggles. Our analysis shows that the Danish Legal profession is not a unit, but instead consists o
