Summary form only given. The advanced resource connector (ARC), or the NorduGrid middleware, is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data grids. Since the first release (May 2002), the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. Emphasis is put on scalability, stability, reliability and performance of the middleware. A growing number

This thesis concerns the prediction of the fluid mechanical conditions in some specific large vessels in the human body. Large vessels are special in the way that the Reynolds number is relatively high and in the case of arteries the flow is pulsatile. The aim is to contribute to the knowledge of flow patterns in large vessels, and ways to predict and measure fluid mechanical parameters such as sh

The incentives for traffic measurements and traffic pattern analysis are increasing. New technologies for accessing the Internet like high speed packet data services in mobile networks are deployed, which imply in many cases that users share transfer channel resources. Applications and user behaviour from a wired environment may have a negative impact on these resources. This paper discusses the n

The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems. While the natural sciences have advanced their understanding of the drivers and processes of global change considerably over the last two decades, the social sciences lag behind in addressing the fundamental challenge of governance and politics in the Anthro

David Hume såg utforskandet av politiken som en helt integrerad del i sin filosofiska uppgift: att på basis av observation och samlad erfarenhet analysera den mänskliga naturen, människans tänkande och agerande, såväl individuellt som, inte minst, i samhället. Han menade att de två dominerande politiskfilosofiska huvudlinjerna i hans samtid – linjer som också präglade brittisk politik – var och en

Hur går man till väga när man vill skildra Förintelsen 1933–45 i all dess ohygglighet? Den frågan har många överlevande brottats med sedan krigsslutet. I självbiografier och romaner har de med olika medel försökt berätta om sina upplevelser. Också författare utan egna erfarenheter har skrivit romaner om Förintelsen. Sammantaget utgör dessa böcker en viktig form av historieskrivning. I ”Men ändå må

As man-made structures are made increasingly smaller it becomes possible to conduct measurements on single cells, molecules and eventually atoms. In this thesis prerequisites for making this possible are discussed. The underlying thought is that the structures should be used in biological and organic based applications. The discussion is kept in three domains: fabrication, characterization and app

I boken ges en resonerande framställning av den tyska grammatiken. Utan att ge avkall på vetenskapligheten förklaras lättfattligt olika grammatiska moment och kontrastiva svårigheter. Innehållet och ordförrådet i exemplen knyter i stor utsträckning an till situationer och texter som är relevanta i yrkeslivet. Bokens första hälft behandlar formlära medan den andra behandlar syntax. Framställningen

English title: Expression through action. Mediating tools in choral leaders’ work with children’s choir and youth choir. The role of the choir leader is a complex one. When working with a choir, choir leaders often use several aspects of their professional role. The aim of this qualitative study is to describe, verbalise and make visible the mediating tools that choir directors working with childr

This introductory chapter presents an overview of how the Swedish monarchy has related to and used the media over the centuries. By discussing examples not included in preceeding chapters, the text widens the scope of the book both theoretically and methodically.
