Popular Abstract in Swedish Radiojodbehandling av sköldkörteln är den vanligaste radiofarmakaterapin. För att beräkna aktiviteten 131I som krävs för att ge en viss stråldos till sköldkörteln behöver sköldkörtelns massa och den individuella biokinetiken bestämmas. Biokinetiken består vanligtvis av det individuella upptaget av jodid och den biologiska halveringstiden av jod i sköldkörteln. Den bioloRadioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism is the most frequently performed radiopharmaceutical therapy. To calculate the activity of 131-I to be administered for giving a certain absorbed dose to the thyroid, the mass of the thyroid and the individual biokinetic data, normally in the form of uptake and biologic half-time, have to be determined. The biologic half-time is estimated from several uptake

Popular Abstract in Swedish Knäledssmärtor och knäledsartros: kliniska, röntgenologiska och biokemiska undersökningar under tidig artrosutveckling Långdragna knäsmärtor (dagligen i mer än 3 månader) förekommer hos 15 % av personer i åldern 35-54 år. Det visar vår undersökning av befolkningen i Laholms kommun i sydvästra Sverige. En orsak till långdragna knäsmärtor kan vara artros (s.k. broskförThe aim of this project was to study clinical, radiographical and biochemical features of developing, symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) prospectively in individuals aged 35-54 from the general population. A questionnaire to a random sample of 2 000 individuals in the district of Laholm, Sweden, identified 279 individuals (15% of the population) with chronic (>3 months) knee pain. Of these, 204

Robots used in manufacturing today are tailored to their tasks by system integration based on expert knowledge concerning both production and machine control. For upcoming new generations of even more flexible robot solutions, in applications such as dexterous assembly, the robot setup and programming gets even more challenging. Reuse of solutions in terms of parameters, controls, process tuning,

In this thesis, two ways of fabrication of nanometer-sized semiconductor features are presented. Low Energy Ion Implantation (LEII) has been used to create shallow (sub-50 nm) and laterally small (5 m m – 200 nm) features by 10 keV As⁺ doping of B background doped Si. Surface topography and electrical modification has been characterised using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning C

In this work, a numerical study has been performed to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow in a transonic high-pressure turbine stator vane passage. Four turbulence models (the Spalart-Allmaras model, the low-Reynolds-number realizable k-ε model, the shear-stress transport (SST) k-ω model and the v²-f model) are used in order to assess the capability of the models to predict the he

Currently, over 100 high-volume chemicals have been classified as endocrine disrupters. One of these is nonylphenol, which was used as the model compound in this study. This substance originates mainly from the degradation of non-ionic surfactants (nonylphenol ethoxylates) which are widely used in industrial and domestic applications. Hence, nonylphenol is widespread in the environment. Under anae

On December 6-7, 2010, the International Desalination Association (IDA) presented its first Environmental Symposium, “Desalination and the Gulf: The Relationship between the Environment and Meeting the Region’s Water Needs.”Held in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain under the Patronage of H.E. Eng. FahmiBin Ali Aljowder, Minister for Electricity and Water Affairs, this event was theresult of 12 months of

Low-rank matrix factorization is an essential problem in many areas including computer vision, with applications in e.g. affine structure-from-motion, photometric stereo, and non-rigid structure from motion. However, very little attention has been drawn to minimal cases for this problem or to using the minimal configuration of observations to find the solution. Minimal problems are useful when eit

This paper compares the language Grafcet with the language Grafchart. Both are graphical languages aimed for sequential control applications. Grafcet is aimed for specification of controller structures, i.e., for local level control applications. Grafchart is based on Grafcet, Petri nets and ideas from objectoriented programming and it can be used for any sequential control application, both appli

Abstract: Reference pollen data for use in interpreting fossil pollen assemblages may be either collected as surface samples or monitored by means of pollen traps. Surface samples can be obtained from moss polsters or lake-surface sediment, or exceptionally soil, leaf litter, or snow. The advantage of such samples is that a large number can be collected relatively quickly. Within the resulting pol

Die Gegenüberstellung der verschiedenen politischen Implikationen der Klima-Si- cherheits-Debatte offenbart auch, dass in der Literatur für die drei untersuchten Poli- tikfelder Klimapolitik, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und Friedenspolitik sowohl stär- kende als auch schwächende Entwicklungen für möglich erachtet werden. Als poten- ziell positive Folge der Versicherheitlichung wird vor allem die Mo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Finkorniga moräner betraktas ofta som problemjordar inom anläggningsbranschen beroende på jordarnas känslighet för förändringar i vatteninnehåll och för deras tjälegenskaper. I dagsläget används endast en begränsad mängd finkorniga moräner i anläggningsbyggande. Huvudmålet med denna avhandling har varit att öka kunskapen om dessa jordars egenskaper och att finna/utvecklFine-grained soils are often regarded as problematic soils in earthworks because of their water- and frost sensitivity. Only limited amounts of fine-grained tills are used as earthwork material today. The main objective of this thesis is to improve the knowledge of how to use and also treat a fine-grained till, so that a greater amount can be utilised as earthwork material. To achieve an increasin
