The Virtual Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Project is a joint research between UC Merced and the Jiaotong University aimed to the digital documentation of archaeological sites, artifacts and cultural relics of the Western Han Dynasty. The outcome of this process will be the creation of a virtual museum, based on collaborative environments, dedicated to the Western Han Dynasty and able to integr

This chapter begins with the assumption that political organisations are stable institutions which contain biases to benefit certain issues and actors in society. The European Union’s Fifth Environmental Action Programme was finally adopted by the Council in February of 1993. The programme is entitled Toward Sustainability and will guide the European Union’s environmental legislation into the next

Capital assets in local infrastructure constitute an overbearing concern for society, with the generation of benefits for the population being its prime purpose. Nevertheless, the conditions for the capital investment activities within local governments are diffuse. Which different kinds of investment goals actually exist? How to explain the priority of different capital investment goals? What exp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sortering av bakteriedödande proteiner till behållarna i vita blodkroppar Vita blodkroppar har en livsviktig roll i det medfödda immunförsvaret som fagocyter, bakterieätare. Denna funktion, första linjens försvar, utövas av neutrofila granulocyter (neutrofiler), en speciell slags vita blodkroppar som är specialiserade på bakterieätning (fagocytos). När bakterier angripThe neutrophil granulocytes have a critical role in innate immunity in particular through phagocytosis of microorganisms. Their cytoplasmic granule subsets store digestive enzymes and antibiotic proteins that are released during this event. During the passage in the secretory pathway the granule proteins are retrieved from constitutive secretion to become sorted for storage. The aim of this thesis

This book presents the findings of a British Film Institute project in which 500 participants completed detailed questionnaire diaries over a five year period. Writing some three and a half million words on their lives, their television watching, and the relationship between the two.

Electronic transport is studied at low temperatures in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) and in mesoscopic semiconductor microstructures. The method of microwave-detection of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect for the contact-free characterisation of transport properties of 2DEGs is explored using both magnetic-field modulation and light-induced carrier modulation. The methods are compared to magn
