The time-dependent fluorescence frequency shift of protein-attached probes has a much slower decay than that for the free probe. The decay times, ranging from 10 ps to several nanoseconds, have been attributed to hydration water motions several orders of magnitude slower than those in the hydration shell of small solutes. This interpretation deviates strongly from the prevailing picture of protein
Yta är, paradoxalt nog, ofta något grundläggande i receptet för framgång i dagens ekonomiska system. Utseende, klädsel, attityd och attribut är centrala element i det som Erving Goffman kallar impression management: förmågan att avge ”rätt” intryck med hjälp av välformulerade självpresentationer som, baserade på statussymboler och associationer, indikerar vem man är eller vill vara (se Goffman 195

There are many possible definitions of “technology” and I will discuss some of these in this book. However, in this introduction let me use a definition of Svante Lindqvist who defines technology very intuitively as “those activities, directed towards the satisfaction of human wants, which produce change in the material world.” He says also “the distinction between human “wants” and more limited h
