A method is presented on how to quantify the moisture conditions of nuclear concrete containment walls. The method is based on first quantifying the boundary conditions at the outer and inner surfaces and then describing the moisture fixation and moisture transport within the concrete wall. The temperature and humidity conditions of the outdoor air and of the air close to the wall surfaces are mon

Three studies investigated decision makers' memory representations of choice alternatives in most important real-life decisions. In Study 1, each participant recalled the most important decision that she or he had ever made and rated to what degree a number of characteristics could describe the decisions. In Study 2, the participants were asked to think about an important decision that they had ma

One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of

The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i

In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv

National apologies are offered by a political representative of the state to members of a minority group for the historic wrongs they suffered within that state. They are used as a reparation measure to further reconciliation, to build mutual confidence and to create a shared identity in a society divided by historic human rights violations. They are a part of the right to remedy for victims of gr

The Tröger’s base molecule has a unique V-shaped cavity and can be fused together in a linear fashion to create either tubular structures or zigzag structures. These structures could be applicable in for example catalysis. The Tröger’s base scaffold is easily functionalised with different side-groups and therefore has a wide range of applications. Previous research in the Wärnmark group had led to

Our problem considered was whether a virtual environment could be used for development of visual servoing control algorithms.

We have used a virtual environment for the comparison of several kinds of controllers. The virtual environment is done in Java, and it consists of two industrial robots, IRB 2000 and IRB 6, a camera stereo system with two cameras mounted on the end-effector of the IRB 6,

Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna. EUArmed conflicts and other forms of violence has led to an increasing number of people leaving their home countries in search of safety elsewhere. Many try to get to Europe. In the absence of legal ways many people take irregular routes which usually involve high risks. Crossing the Mediterranean is the most common route. Most boats have Turkey as their starting point with the goal to reach one of

The main aim of this study is to contribute to the existing gap regarding the combination of green marketing and B2B marketing. Building on this, the focus of this paper is to investigate critically the relevance of sustainability labels for products in industrial markets and to find alternative practices that companies can implemented to build up trust and obtain credibility. The choice of the in
