A previously developed computational model for 3D finite element simulations of wood during moisture changes is in the present work provided with a special-purpose graphical user interface. The software is designed to use a personal computer for the graphical user interface and to have possibility to use distributed computational resources for the simulation.
Study of the representation of Mark Antony in the HBO televison series Rome. Here, Mark Antony is represented in all his traditional guises as a soldier, a politician, a womanizer, a drunkard and finally as he develops into a transsexual appearance in his subjugated relationship to Queen Cleopatra of Egypt.
The placenta must not only provide nutrients and take care of fetal waste products, it also needs to protect the fetus from maternal immunological attacks while at the same time transmitting maternal immunoglobulins to ensure protection against infectious agents.
With computers embedded almost everywhere, in domestic, industrial, and medical appliances and devices, computing is becoming increasingly pervasive. Services in pervasive systems can be combined and coordinated through user-defined scripts called assemblies, a light-weight and understandable way for end users to adapt services to fit their specific needs. Previous languages for assembly scripts
Tapasin (tpn), an essential component of the MHC class I (MHC I) loading complex, has a canonical double lysine motif acting as a retrieval signal, which mediates retrograde transport of escaped endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins from the Golgi back to the ER. In this study, we mutated tpn with a substitution of the double lysine motif to double alanine (GFP-tpn-aa). This mutation abolished inter
High-spin states in Br-72(35)37 were studied using the Ca-40(Ar-36,3pn) reaction. The existing level scheme has been significantly modified and extended. Evidence has been found for a spin reassignment of -1h to the previously observed negative-parity band, which carries implications for the interpretation of a signature inversion in this structure. One signature of the previously assigned positiv
In the present thesis, the influence of the immunosuppressive drug FK506 on mitogen-induced changes in the expression of subunits a and ß of the IL-2 receptor by isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been studied. Up-regulation and release of the a-chain were potently depressed by FK506, even in the presence of exogenous IL-2. In contrast, up-regulation of the ß-chain on these same
Defining, prioritizing, and selecting requirements are problems of tremendous importance. In this paper, a new approach called Quantitative WinWin for decision support in requirements negotiation is studied. The difference to Boehm's WinWin groupware-based negotiation support is the inclusion of quantitative methods as a backbone for better and more objective decisions. Like Boehm's original WinWi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kvinnor begär lägre lön än män i löneförhandlingar. Könsskillnader i förhandlingsprestation har nyligen förklarats som en stereotyphotseffekt. Enligt stereotype threat theory kan prestationen hos negativt stereotyperade gruppmedlemmar tillfälligt försämras i kontexter där den negativa stereotypen är framträdande. Kvinnor stereotyperas som dåliga förhandlare, jämfört medWomen ask for less salary than men in negotiations. Sex differences in negotiating performance have recently been explained as stereotype threat effects. Stereotype threat theory states that the performance of negatively stereotyped group-members can suffer in contexts where the negative stereotype is salient. Women are stereo¬typed as bad negotiators, compared to men, and previous research has sh
Heat transfer is one of the most important and most common engineering disciplines in food processing. There are many unit operations in the food industry where steady or unsteady state heat transfer is taking place. These operations are of primary importance and affect the design of equipment as well as safety, nutritional and sensory aspects of the product. The chapters in this book deal mainly
Our investigation of two EPR and waste management programs in California, U.S. revealed two common features: involvement of the state government is small, and the establishment of concrete recycling/waste management systems is to a large extent left in the hands of entities who have direct responsibility for their implementation. Based on the degree of government involvement, we categorized recycl
Var finns naturen och hur upplever vi den? Vad är meningen med naturen och hur skapas denna mening? Vad är skillnaden mellan natur och miljö och vad blir konsekvenserna om man tar fasta på hur denna skillnad uppstått? Detta är frågor som rör naturens kulturhistoria och kulturisering. Ur ett internationellt perspektiv har intresset för naturens kulturella konstruktion vuxit fram under de senaste de
