The recent experimental data on Coulomb breakup of the nucleus Ne-31 are interpreted in terms of deformation. The measured large one-neutron removal cross section indicates that the ground state of Ne-31 is either an s halo or a p halo. The data can be most easily interpreted as the spin of the ground state being 3/2(-) coming from either the Nilsson level [330 1/2] or the Nilsson level [321 3/2]
Modern electronic medical implants have reached a high degree of complexity. This has increased the demands on the communication link with the implant, both regarding the bandwidth and the communication distance. A medical communication system at RF frequencies has been standardised, the Medical Implant Communication System (MICS), which use a frequency allocation of 402 - 405 MHz. This frequency
Glycoprotein B (gB) is a major component in several vaccines that are under development for prevention of disease by cytomegalovirus. It contains multiple determinants that are targets for neutralizing antibodies. One of them is site I of antigenic domain 2 (AD-2). The epitope, defined by short peptides, is quite conserved between different isolates. However, it is poorly immunogenic in natural in
This paper describes the implementation of a simulation benchmark for studying the influence of control strategy implementations on combined nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes in a biological wastewater treatment plant. The presented simulation benchmark plant and its performance criteria are to a large extent based on the already existing nitrogen removal simulation benchmark. The paper il
PURPOSE: A Swedish and Norwegian study was designed to examine health-related quality of life (HQL) in patients with head and neck cancer (head and neck) at diagnosis and during treatment and rehabilitation. The overall aim was to examine the impact on HQL at diagnosis depending on tumor location, stage, sex, and age (part I) and to describe HQL longitudinally and determine for which patients and
Fifty-one adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) cases recruited after community screening were compared with 51 age-, sex-, and school-matched cases with regard to personality disorders and autism-spectrum disorders (ASD)/empathy disorders at age 21 years. All 102 cases had originally been examined at a mean age of 16 years, slightly over a year after the reported onset of the eating disorder. St
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste åren har den rättsliga prövningen av våldtäkt och andra sexuella övergrepp utsatts för häftig kritik. Det hävdas att offret behandlats kränkande och att allt för stor vikt läggs vid hennes beteende. I denna avhandling analyseras lagstiftarens avvägningar i samband med de straffrättsliga definitionerna, samt domstolarnas prövningar i dessa mål. Gällande
We have previously described a microarray approach to identify and clone genes from mutants of higher organisms. In the method cDNA of two mutants with similar phenotype are competitively hybridized to DNA clones arrayed on a glass slide. Clones corresponding to an mRNA that is not expressed in one of the strains due to a mutation will be specifically highlighted in the hybridization, which provid
The finite element method is applied to solve coupled steady-state fluid flow and heat transfer problems in insulated pipes of district heating networks. The main advantage of the finite element method involved here is the standard discretization and solution technique for both coupling of temperature-dependent physical properties in the thermo-hydraulic flow and for description of the multilayere
Backgound: In severe, medically unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), the histological differentiation of focal versus diffuse disease is vital, since the surgical management is completely different. Genetic analysis may help in the differential diagnosis, as focal CHI is associated with a paternal germline ABCC8 or KCNJ11 mutation and a focal loss of maternal chromosome 11p15, whereas a
A clock-and-data precharged dynamic (CDPD) circuit technique in CMOS is presented. It gives a fast one-clock-cycle decision to multilevel logic and has small clock loads, low peak current, small area and low power-delay product. The technique is highly flexible in logic design. For the given example, a 324bit binary-lookahead-carry chain, the speed improvement can be as high as 40–50% compared to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att opereras via titthålskirurgi eller öppen kirurgi med en operationsteknik som förhindrar sura uppstötningar och halsbränna - en slumpmässig jämförande studie från ett patientperspektiv Utdrag ur avhandlingen Laparoscopic or open surgery - A comparative study with special reference to the patient's perspective av Gunilla Nilsson Vad är problemet? Gastroesofageal reThe overall aim of this thesis was to compare the effects of laparoscopic versus open antireflux surgery in a randomized clinical trial focusing the patients' subjective and objective outcome postoperatively, from a short-term and a long-term perspective. A further aim was to describe GORD patients' experiences of illness and surgical treatment and if possible to find striking characteristics rela
The purpose of this work is to study the deformation of elastic cantilevers due to hydrodynamic forces by coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations. The cantilever is placed in a rectangular duct and the Reynolds number based on bulk velocity and cantilever diameter is 400. Reduced velocities in the range pi/4 to 2 pi are studied, which covers both un-synchronised motion and the initial bran
Closely related sympatric species are expected to evolve strong species discrimination because of the reinforcement of mate preferences [1-4]. Fitness costs of heterospecific matings are thought to be higher in females than in males, and females are therefore expected to show stronger species discrimination than males [5, 6]. Here, we investigated gender and species differences in sexual isolation
Today, financial technology (fintech) companies implement marketing strategies targeting young and financially inexperienced adults to increase their habits of consumption using credit. Among the services provided by these companies, the concept Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) is the one that stands out within the context of marketing. Although this is a common concept within an industry, this essay choo
This thesis, initiated by Thule Group, investigated how an ultra-lightweight roof top tent could be developed to improve and simplify the user experience during installation and use. The aim of the project was to design a roof top tent for two people, which could be handled and mounted on a car by one person. During the project, Double Diamond together with a human-centred design approach was use
Abstract in UndeterminedThe PYTHIA program is a standard tool for the generation of high-energy collisions, comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process to a complex multihadronic final state. It contains a library of hard processes and models for initial-and final-state parton showers, multiple parton-parton interactions, beam remnants, string fragmen
Environmental policy should be made up of scientific evidence. This thesis paper supports science based policy and its formulation through innovative communication strategies. It is important to be innovative in communicating science when dealing with the policy community as there could be confrontations owing to the nature of relation between science and policy. This is where the professional env
This paper faces the problem of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an attempt to create novel, original high-quality samples of drums that could be used within the realm of music production. My results show that it is possible to create high-quality drum samples with architecture such as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) and that using causal and dilated convolutions is
