High angular momentum states in Zr-86 were populated through the Ni-58(S-32,4p) reaction at 135 MeV using the 88-In. Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Recoiling Zr-86 nuclei were stopped in a thick Ta backing. Prompt multi-gamma coincidences with evaporated charged particles were detected using the full array of GAMMASPHERE and the MICROBALL. Mean lifetimes of 36 levels in Zr-86

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lungornas viktigaste funktion är att sörja för kroppens upptag av syrgas och avgivande av koldioxid. Lungorna består funktionellt av luftrören, genom vilka den inandade luften transporteras, och lungblåsorna (alveolerna), där utbytet av syrgas och koldioxid sker. Alveolerna är mycket små, ca 0,1 mm i diameter, men en vuxen individ har ca 300 miljoner alveoler och ytan dThe aim of this thesis was to study the transfer of solutes across the alveolo-capillary barrier in experimental models of alveolar surfactant dysfunction and lung injury as well as in smokers. Experimental studies were performed in anaesthetized, and mechanically ventilated animals. Surfactant dysfunction was induced by administration of a synthetic detergent in aerosol form. Lung injury was indu

This paper reports and analyzes the author’s own experiences of implementing a “joke starting” strategy into the lecture format of a given course. The “joke starting” strategy meant that every lecture in the studied course was (jump) started with a small joke. Thus, we investigate one particular approach to consciously use humor in teaching, an area well represented in the literature. The ambition

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förändring av kroppsprotein hos cancerpatienter under behandling Bakgrund Det är välkänt att patienter med cancer ofta drabbas av nedsatt aptit, viktminskning, orkeslöshet och ämnesomsättningsrubbningar under sin sjukdom. Denna samlade symptombild kallas kakexi. Detta tillstånd minskar toleransen för olika behandlingar, som cytostatika- och strålbehandling, försämrar The purpose of this study was to investigate how total body protein and its fraction of body weight (body protein fraction) change in cancer patients during different anti-tumor treatments, and to see if these changes have any clinical significance in the form of prognostic value or correlation with disease course and tumor response. In 84 patients, 28 with lung cancer, 24 with gastrointestinal t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom analytisk kemi är selektivitet en viktig fråga. Att kunna urskilja ett specifikt ämne av låg koncentration i ett komplicerat prov är viktigt inom t.ex. medicin, miljöanalys och livsmedelsindustri. Naturen har under miljontals år utvecklat selektiva system. Ett exempel på ett sådant system är antikropparna i människans immunförsvar; om ett främmande ämne kommer in iThe thesis is a bioelectrochemical study of heme enzymes, mainly peroxidases and cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDH). It covers both fundamental and applied aspects, viz. studies of the direct electron transfer and kinetics of enzymes on electrodes, and the development of amperometric enzyme-based biosensors. The kinetics of the direct and mediated electron transfer of a wide range of peroxidases (bo

Using Woods-Saxon potentials and the eigenphase formalism for one-particle resonances, one-particle bound and resonant levels for neutrons as a function of quadrupole deformation are presented, which are supposed to be useful for the interpretation of spectroscopic properties of some light neutron-rich nuclei with weakly bound neutrons. Compared with Nilsson diagrams in textbooks that are construc

The present work studies the separated flow in a square channel with ribs on one wall by using the PIV method. In this study, the spacing between ribs is kept constant and the heights of rib are varied in order to investigate the influence of the pitch-to-height ratio, P/e on the flow structures. Depending on the various pitch ratios, the enclosure between ribs can be regarded as closed or open ca
