This thesis is based on the work that was done during 1992--1996 at the DELPHI detector at LEP. Its main parts are outlined below. The brief Introduction gives an overview of the science of Particle Physics, its development and contemporary status. The first chapter represents an introduction to the DELPHI detector at LEP, describing the main features of the LEP machine and the DELPHI detector a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori och Chlamydia pneumoniae är två mycket vanliga smittämnen i den svenska befolkningen. De vanliga kliniska manifestationerna är magsår respektive luftvägsinfektioner. På senare tid har det också diskuterats huruvida de kan bana väg för sjukdomsmanifestationer även inom andra organsystem. I många fall har de studeras var för sig men betydligt mera sällHelicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumoniae are common infectious agents in the Swedish population, causing gastritis ulcers and respiratory infections. The metabolic syndrome is characterised by overweight, insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Sera from a patient cohort (n=531) originally examined in 1987-89 were investigated for previous infection of H. pylori and C. pn

Bokens målgrupp är universitets- och högskolestudenter såväl som allmänhet som har börjat ta del av diskussionen kring religion i populärkultur. Boken har ett religionsantropologiskt anslag och går igenom definitionsproblematik, religiösa grupperingars bruk av populärkultur och reaktion gentemot populärkultur som sprider "falsk" religion. Återkommande narrativ och hur dessa tolkas som alluderande

Oxidative degradation is a serious threat to long-term use and recyclability of polymers. Successful recycling of polymeric quality products requires characterization of the polymer material after reprocessing and use. Lately, a growing awareness of the heterogeneous nature of degradation has developed in terms of physical spreading, non-uniform distribution of stabilizer, physical loss of stabili

An museum catalogue entry concerning a specific work of art.

Combining the strengths of an advanced mathematical model of human physiology and a thermal manikin is a new paradigm for simulating thermal behaviour of humans. However, the forerunners of such adaptive manikins showed some substantial limitations. This project aimed to determine the opportunities and constraints of the existing thermal manikins when dynamically controlled by a mathematical model

A comprehensive study of the photophysical behavior of poly(acrylic acids) randomly labeled with pyrene using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is presented. The influence of external factors, such as different solvents and pH in the aqueous solution, on the polymer photophysics has been investigated. These factors induce major changes in the polymer conformation, which are

Popular Abstract in Swedish (Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning) I Skandinavien drabbas 1 av 3 000 människor av en ärftlig näthinnedegeneration som ofta leder till en grav synnedsättning och inte sällan till blindhet. Orsaken är att näthinnans ljuskänsliga celler långsamt förtvinar. Vi kan ännu inte bota dessa sjukdomar. Det finns många olika varianter av ärftlig näthinnedegeneration, vilket gör The purpose of the study was to characterise the phenotype with emphasis on electroretinography in four different types of hereditary retinal degeneration and to correlate it to a genotype when possible. Two methods were used: full-field electroretinography for objective assessment of retinal function and mutation screening of blood samples for detection of gene alterations. Electroretinograms fro

Eddy flux tower measurements, ground-based reflectance measurements, regionally modeled data, and data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used in this study of an ombrotrophic bog in southern Sweden. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate how the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR), light-use efficiency (epsiv), and gross pr
