Fine-grained windblown deposits (loess) in which fossil soils (palaeosols) are preserved are excellent records of past climate. However, so far paleoclimate reconstruction studies conducted on such loess-palaeosol sequences (LPS) in SE Europe were focused on the climate changes of the last one or two glacial-interglacial cycles, while almost no attention has been directed to the climate of the cur
Intensity ratio-based phosphor thermometry is a promising technique for instantaneous temperature measurement of fast-moving objects. However, its accuracy is limited by the blueshift effects of interference filters induced by angle of incidence (AOI) variations. This is especially problematic for phosphors with significant temperature-dependent emission band shifts. To address this issue, we prop
The intention of this study is to question the supposed self-evident connection between sickness and sin in the individual complaint psalms. On the basis of a careful analysis of the psalms which contain the three motifs divine absence, divine wrath, and man’s guilt, the author problematizes this aspect of the exegetical literature’s widespread interpretation of the theological dimension of illnes
Popular Abstract in Swedish Catecholaminerna dopamin, noradrenalin och adrenalin är en grupp transmittorsubstanser som är involverade i olika funktioner i det centrala nervsystemet. De olika catecholaminerna bildas med hjälp av specifika enzymer. Tyrosin hydroxylas (TH) omvandlar L-DOPA till dopamin (DA), som i sin tur omvandlas av enzymet dopamin ß-hydroxylas (DBH) till noradrenalin, som till sisCatecholamines, comprising the neurotransmitters dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (A) are synthesized by specific enzymes (tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine ß-hydroxylase (DBH), phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT)) in the central nervous system. The development and distribution of different catecholaminergic systems have been described in both the brain and retina of th
Gaia is ESA’s space astrometry mission with a foreseen launch date in early 2012. Its main objective is to perform a stellar census of the 1000 Million brightest objects in our galaxy (completeness to V=20 mag) from which an astrometric catalog of micro-arcsec level accuracy will be constructed. A key element in this endeavor is the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution (AGIS). A core part of AGIS
This article treats the organization and ideology of the Salamullah-movement in Indonesia, a New Religious Movement established in the post-Suharto era. A characteristic feature of the movement is its extensive usage of new technology in the dissemination of its religious ideas.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diskret händelsebaserad simulering av tillverkningssystem är sällan använd i utvecklingsprocessen av tillverkningssystem. Många gånger dras slutsatsen att analyser som involverar simulering i sig själv ger ökade kostnader. Detta synsätt är inte korrekt eftersom analyser måste göras ändå. I denna avhandling visas på metoder att utnyttja simuleringstekniken genom tillverkDES is seldom used in the manufacturing system development process, instead it is usually used to cure problems in existent systems. This has the effect that the simulation study alone is considered being the cost driver for the analysis of the manufacturing system. It is argued that this is not a entirely correct view since the analysis has to be performed anyway, and the cost directly related to
In 1975 Mozambique attained its independence from Portugal, but it was only in 1992 with the establishment of a peace agreement after the extended civil war that the country was able to initiate its development process including the undertaking of research and development (R & D) efforts. Government and international cooperation provided the support for the R & D programmes and projects, m
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att lungorna ska utvecklas normalt hos ett däggdjursfoster, måste lungorna vara vätskefyllda. Det har länge varit kännt att denna vätska produceras av lungorna själva, genom s k klorid-sekretion. Vid födelsen måste det nyfödda fostret börja andas och därför är det ytterst viktigt att lungorna snabbt töms på vätskan som fanns där under fosterutvecklingen. Detta sker Alveolar fluid clearance is driven by active absorption of Na+ across the alveolar epithelium. Development and hormonal regulation of alveolar fluid clearance over 1 hour was studied by instillation of a protein-containing, isosmolar fluid into lungs of fetal, newborn, and adult guinea pigs. After 1 hour, a sample of remaining alveolar fluid was collected and the change in protein concentration wa
