Archaeologists routinely deal with the remains of everyday life. Yet the significance and dimensions of daily practices are rarely reflected upon. Merging Bourdieu’s theory of practice, recent theories of everyday life and the materiality approach in archaeology, this study addresses the potential importance of daily practices and mundane objects in dealing with a rupture caused by migration. As a

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) is a solid-state radio frequency (RF) spectroscopic technique, allowing the detection of compounds containing quadrupolar nuclei, a requirement fulfilled by many high explosives and narcotics. The practical use of NQR is restricted by the inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the observed signals, a problem that is further exacerbated by the presence of s

The papers of the Sarah Coakley Symposium held at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies, Lund University, on April 15th 2009 are published here. After an introduction to the symposium by the editor, the key note adress of Sarah Coakley follows: "Is there a Future for Gender and Theology? On Gender, Contemplation and the Systematic Task". Papers on the theology of Sarah Coakley are given by

Objective. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare condition that may follow administration of gadolinium-based contrast media (Gd-CM) in patients with renal insufficiency. This study was initiated to determine the incidence of NSF at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, in Sweden. Material and methods. During the period January 2001 to December 2008 10 650 patients underwent magnetic resonance

In this paper, we analyze the potentials of a four-phase 14-GHz CMOS voltage-controlled oscillator, tailored to a sub-harmonic receiver, for signal processing at Ka-band. When mild phase accuracies between in-phase and quadrature down-converted signals are required, the four-phase oscillator displays roughly the same phase noise figure-of-merit as quadrature oscillator counterparts. However, the o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver forskningen kring miniatyriserade enzymreaktorer - nyckelkomponenter i system för diabetsövervakning. Målet är att systemet kontinuerligt och under flera dagar skall kunna mäta glukosstatus hos bäraren. Provtagningstekniken för systemet är mikrodialys; en prob instucken i bukfettvävnaden ger ett prov som innehåller glukos. Analysen av detta proThe development of a miniaturised silicon wafer integrated enzyme reactor is described. The reactor was micromachined by anisotropic wet etching of (110) silicon. The enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) was coupled to the reactor surface with standard methods of immobilising enzyme to silica. The glucose turn-over rate was monitored following a colourimetric assay. The advantage, in terms of high surface
