This thesis presents a study of advanced analytical techniques, for the characterization of actinide particles originating from the non-peaceful use of nuclear technology and from international inspections of the nuclear fuel cycle associated with non-proliferation agreements. The thesis is based on five papers, which will be referred to by Paper I-V in the text. Individual particle analysis has s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje samhälle och var tid har sina sjukdomar. Karakteristiskt för dagens västerländska, senmoderna samhälle är den 'diffusa ohälsan'. Gemensamt har dessa fenomen flytande diagnoskriterier, symptomens vaga och undflyende karaktär samt frånvaron av medicinskt accepterade förklaringar till deras uppkomst. Ett exempel på denna typ av ohälsa är sjuka hus-syndromet (SBS). DEach society, culture and era has its own illnesses. Characteristic of the late modern, western society of today are 'diffuse' or 'medically unexplained' syndromes. These phenomena have in common a vague criteria for diagnosis, a subjective and elusive character of the symptoms and a lack of medically accepted explanations for the symptoms described. One example of such a diffuse syndrome is the s

Fire accidents and evacuation experiments have revealed that people often use familiar exits in fire emergencies. However, the design of emergency exits has also been shown to impact people’s choice of exit. In the present research, the use of flashing lights to direct people to emergency exits is explored in a series of experiments in both buildings and road tunnels. Recommendations concerning ho

I detta kapitel argumenterar jag för normkritiska och icke-förtryckande sätt att tänka inom undervisning och lärande. Efter en diskussion av argument som förs för och emot antidiskriminerings- och normkritisk arbete i skolan presenterar jag några av normkritiska pedagogikers teoretiska utgångspunkt. Det följs av en överblick över de regler som gäller för icke-diskriminering och inkludering i skoll

The effects of the phase lag on the suspended load in the ripple regime were investigated for oscillatory flows and combined steady and unsteady flows. The Camenen et al. (2005) suspended load formula was modified in order to take into account both current-related and wave-related sediment transport. A particular effort was made to better predict the phase-lag effects in the ripple regime. The mod

När européerna kom i kontakt med Sydost-Asien på 1500-talet möttes de av ett väl fungerande handelssystem som byggdes ut till Atlanten och Stilla havet. "Havsnomader" eller ”sjözigenare” spelade här en viktig roll, då de försåg resande med varor i viktiga hamnar mellan Indiska Oceanen och Sydkinesiska havet. De var inte själva köpmän eller grossister, utan försåg mellanhänderna med varor. Dessa "h

Wild bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) may develop diabetes in laboratory captivity. The aim of this study was to test whether bank voles develop type 1 diabetes in association with Ljungan virus. Two groups of bank voles were analyzed for diabetes, pancreas histology, autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), IA-2, and insulin by standardized radioligand-binding assays as well as

Intended for a second course in stationary processes, Stationary Stochastic Processes: Theory and Applications presents the theory behind the field’s widely scattered applications in engineering and science. In addition, it reviews sample function properties and spectral representations for stationary processes and fields, including a portion on stationary point processes.

This letter presents computationally efficient time-updating algorithms of the recent Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA) spectral estimation technique. By exploiting the inherently low displacement rank, together with the development of suitable Gohberg-Semencul (GS) representations, and the use of data dependent trigonometric polynomials, the proposed time-recursive IAA algorithm offers a reductio
