EU:s deponeringsdirektiv har medfört ökade krav på deponier. Mängden deponerat organiskt material har begränsats kraftigt och deponiernas inre skall nu vara så torrt som möjligt. Konsekvenserna av detta är ännu inte helt kända. Fläskebodeponin, den deponi som varit i drift längst av de få svenska deponier som är konstruerade enligt direktivet, har här fungerat som ett exempel på framtidens depoThe European landfill directive increases demands on landfills. The amount of organic matter being landfilled is restricted and landfills should be as dry as possible. The consequences of these changes are not yet fully understood. In this study the first landfill in Sweden to be constructed according to the directive, Fläskebo, has served as an example of future landfills. Its leachate has bee

In this paper, multiple windows, optimal for locally stationary processes (MW-LSP) are used to estimate the spectrogram of the electroencephalogram (EEG) where we focus on the ability to estimate transient frequency changes. A peak of known frequency was evoked in the EEG spectrum in a predetermined time interval, by using a 9 Hz flickering light. We investigate the multiple windows corresponding

The MUI framework supports composition of ad-hoc applications from services available on ad-hoc networked devices. MUI is an open-ended framework, relying on migrating user interfaces and standardized data formats for connecting services, allowing existing devices to be connected to new devices without needing any pre-defined knowledge of their services. We illustrate the benefits of the approach

Robots interacting with other agents in rich information landscapes and complex dynamic physical environments require sophisticated and robust concept and knowledge management capabilities if they are to solve problems, communicate, learn and exhibit intelligent behaviours. In this paper we describe how conceptual spaces provide a powerful substrate upon which to build effective concept and knowle

To meet the demands of high electrical efficiencies in combination with low emissions for gas turbine-based power plants, wet cycles have gained new interest. The combustion chamber is a key component in such a power plant. Detailed investigations are necessary to gain insight into the formation of hazardous emissions such as CO and NOx. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been e

When planning new environments, such as homes and workplaces, for the physically disabled it is important to encourage active participation from all those involved. In a research programme initiated at the Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden, a new planning method is being introduced which utilizes computer-aided design as a planning tool. This tool supports and activates the understanding and pa

Syftet med denna studie var dels att samla information om den sanitära status som gäller för Mafraqs deponi och dels att bedöma lakvattnets och grundvattnets kvalitet i dess närområde. Mafraqs deponi befinner sig på en av Jordaniens viktigaste akvifer och utgör därigenom ett potentielt hot mot grundvattnets kvalitet. I området runt om deponin används grundvattnet som dricksvatten och för konstbeva

Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In this context, this paper describes the GTPOM (thermo-economic optimization of whole gas turbine plant) European project, funded in part through the European Commissions 5th Framework Programme, focusing on

Recent studies in Drosophila have shown that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are required for Wingless (Wg/Wnt) signaling. In addition, genetic and phenotypic analyses have implicated the glypican gene daily in this process. Here, we report the identification of another Drosophila glypican gene, daily-like (dly) and show that it is also involved in Wg signaling. Inhibition of dly gene activi

OBJECTIVE.: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with chronic or episodic inflammation in several organ systems, related to the presence of circulating and tissue-deposited immune complexes (ICs) which stimulate leukocytes through FcγRs with subsequent inflammation. Treatment with EndoS, an IgG glycan hydrolyzing bacterial enzyme from Streptococcus pyogenes, has shown benefi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Villkoren för utbildning och undervisning förändras i väsentliga avseenden i takt med samhällets tilltagande komplexitet. Det är många gånger svårt för både lärare och elever att veta hur man på bästa sätt ska orientera sitt pedagogiska handlande. Med utgångspunkt från tre pedagogiska kontexter - grundskolan, de särskilda ungdomshemmen och grundskollärarutbildningen - p
