Silicon microtechnology has been used to develop a microstructure toolbox in order to enable high accuracy protein identification. During the last 2 years we developed and applied monocrystalline silicon structures and established new automated protein analysis platforms, The development of a high throughput protein platform is presented where fully automated protein identifications are performed.
The superior surfactant properties of cationic gemini surfactants are applied to the complex problem of introducing genes into cells. Of almost 250 new compounds tested, of some 20 different structural types, a majority showed very good transfection activity in vitro. The surfactant is shown to bind and compact DNA efficiently, and structural studies and calculations provide a working picture of t
Policy proposals for the management of water resources need to take into account two emerging themes: public involvement in the development of resource use policy and water management on a catchment level. The CATCH-model, a decision support system for catchment-based water management, builds on the use of ‘discourse and deliberation’ within stakeholder groups to define relevant socio-economic par
We discuss the recently introduced spline-Galerkin method for Rydberg series of atomic systems, and extend it to Breit-Pauli configuration interaction calculations. Special emphasis is put on the efficient evaluation of the different radial integrals appearing in these calculations. An application to the 1De series of beryllium illustrates the potential of the method in the non-relativistic case.
Indications of what the tour-operating sector considers to be 'good practice' can be drawn from voluntary initiatives such as existing eco-labels and codes of conduct. However, practical implementation of such guidance varies greatly from one tour operator to another, depending on different types of factors, such as size, financial capacity, corporate structure, operational location, organizationa
Time-domain fundamental solutions and Green dyadics for temporally dispersive, simple media are introduced. Second forerunner approximations to the electromagnetic fields from an electric point dipole in unbounded dispersive materials are obtained. Numerical results for two frequently used material models are presented. Moreover, surface integral representations of the electromagnetic fields in di
The biologic evaluation in living rats of 68Ga-labeled oligonucleotides as imaging agents for PET is reported. Methods: 68Ga, a positron-emitting radionuclide (half-life, 68 min), along with a macrocyclic chelating agent, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA), was used for labeling of antisense oligonucleotides targeting activated human K-ras oncogene. The biologic p
Simple and computer attractive models for calculating radiation properties are needed. This paper considers recent models available in literature, and provides suggestions how to improve the calculation performance of the existing ones.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om tes av periodicitet och trend inom långminne-processer. Med hjälp av diskret wavelet transform och periodogram presenteras vi två test för periodicitet och tre test för trend. Vi utvärderar vår test samt studerar deras egenskaper delvis genom att använda oss av datorintensiva metoder såsom Monte Carlo och delvis genom att jämföra dem med andra liThis thesis presents methods of testing the periodicity and trend for the time series, which exhibit dependence over long periods of time. Many such processes can be modeled by a class of models called fractionally differenced processes. The first approach we consider to analyse such processes is by using the band periodogram, which divides the periodogram into different intervals or bands, matchi
This thesis reports the work done in the development of a modified Lean Premix Prevaporised (LPP) burner for the use in Alstom Power Sweden’s industrial gas turbines. Incentive for the development of the modified burner have been the need to increase the flame stability over the operating range for the burner, especially for the liquid fuel but also the gaseous fuel operation. Foundation for modif
Out of Quality of Service reasons, higher priority shall in cellular networks be assigned to ongoing connections than to new call attempts. In order to improve the efficiency of the bandwidth reservation scheme, the amount of bandwidth to reserve for high priority connections can be made time-varying and adaptive towards the momentary network conditions. Subscriber movement predictions can be appl
We have investigated the growth of GaAs nanowires as a function of temperatures and source pressures on (I 1 1) B-oriented substrates in chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), to establish the mechanisms that govern wire growth and to optimize growth conditions. The grown nanowires were characterized with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). We found two mechanisms to be of importance for wire growth: (i)
Searches for neutral Higgs bosons produced at LEP in association with Z bosons, in pairs and in the Yukawa process are presented in this paper. Higgs boson decays into b quarks, tau leptons, or other Higgs bosons are considered, giving rise to four-b, four-b+jets, six-b and four-tau final states, as well as mixed modes with b quarks and tau leptons. The whole mass domain kinematically accessible a
The present state of extreme value theory for queues is surveyed. The exposition focuses on the regenerative properties of queueing systems, which reduces the problem to the study of the tail of the maximum $overline X( au)$ of the queueing process ${X(t)}$ during a regenerative cycle $ au$. For simple queues, methods for obtaining the distribution of $overline X( au)$ both explicitly and asymptot
