”Jag hoppas att jag får ha hälsan”, är ett uttryck som idag känns passé. Hälsa är inte längre något man ”har”, eller ens ”får”. Idag är hälsa något man ”gör”. Det är individens ansvar att ”göra” sin hälsa genom att äta rätt, motionera väl, hålla sig uppdaterad om vetenskapliga rön och nya behandlingsmetoder och inte minst – tro på sig själv. Hälsa är – åtminstone i den offentliga diskursen – beroe
The inverse spectral problem for the Laplace operator on a finite metric graph is investigated. It is shown that this problem has a unique solution for graphs with rationally independent edges and without vertices having valence 2. To prove the result, a trace formula connecting the spectrum of the Laplace operator with the set of periodic orbits for the metric graph is established.
Bioinformatics methods with subsequent verification by experimental data were applied to the structural investigation of the intracellular loop of the d-subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Three complementary methods were used: prediction of secondary structure elements, prediction of ordered/disordered protein regions and prediction of short functional binding motifs. The out
Smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific deletion of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling would help elucidate the mechanisms through which TGF-beta signaling contributes to vascular development and disease. We attempted to generate mice with SMC-specific deletion of TGF-beta signaling by mating mice with a conditional ("floxed") allele for the type 11 TGF-beta receptor (tgfbr2(flox)) to
Popular Abstract in Swedish I »operatörens blick« beskrivs ett projekt där möjligheter för IT-stöd i erfarenhetsöverföring undersökts inom ett område där konfrontationen mellan datorisering och yrkeskunnande är särskilt tydlig - operatörsarbete i processindustrin. Driftsstörningar av olika omfattning är ett kontinuerligt inslag i operatörsarbetet och snabba förändringar i risknivå är en central deStudies in process control automation show that manual control skills are important in handling situations where the automatic control system fails. The fact that these skills are particularly difficult to maintain and develop in automated production environments is usually described as one of the ironies of automation. This work explores new roles for computer support in developing and maintainin
Refillable polyester bottles, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, are known to interact with chemicals. Aroma compounds from a product can be absorbed by the bottle material, remain after washing and remigrate when the bottle is reused, resulting in off-flavour of the new product. A certified reference material has recently been approved with which the chemical and sensory inertn
Background. A quadrivalent (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 virus-like-particle (VLP) vaccine has been shown to be 95%-100% effective in preventing cervical and genital disease related to HPV-6,-11,-16, and-18 in 16-26-year-old women naive for HPV vaccine types. Because most women in the general population are sexually active, some will have already been infected with >= 1 H
The legume goat's rue (Galega orientalis) and its microsymbiont Rhizobium galegae have an unusually strict host-bacteria specificity. The reason for this is not known. We have identified and analysed six genes in G. orientalis assumed to be involved in the recognition processes between legumes and rhizobia. The genes were isolated from a library made from nodulating roots. The genes were identifie
A search for squarks in R-parity violating supersymmetry is performed in e(+/-)p collisions at HERA using the H1 detector. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb(-1) for e (+) p collisions and 13.5 pb(-1) for e(-)p collisions. The resonant production of squarks via a Yukawa coupling lambda' is considered, taking into account
This paper considers the problem of stability of linear feedback systems with time-varying but bounded delays. Simple but powerful criteria of stability, as well as a simple performance bound, are presented for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Using these criteria, stability can be checked in a closed loop Bode plot. This makes it easy to design the system for robustness.
The first aim of this doctoral work has been to develop a new generation of computer programs for transient and steady-state heat conduction in two and three dimensions. A large range of heat transfer problems within the field of buildings physics can be analyzed using these tools. There are, however, many things to keep in mind when modelling a problem, such as how to choose the numerical mesh,
