Avsaknaden av en teknisk utbildning på mellannivå framstod i mitten av 1800-talet som såväl ett industrialiserings- som ett moderniseringshinder. Som svar på dessa problem etablerades tekniska elementarskolor under 1850-talet i Malmö, Borås, Örebro och Norrköping. Föreliggande artikel behandlar de viktigaste faktorerna bakom lokaliseringen av dessa skolor och svarar på frågorna varför de förlades

This Letter details and discusses the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to t-channel electro-weak W+bj production, where finite top-width effects are consistently taken into account. The computation is done within the aMCatNLO framework and includes both resonant and non-resonant contributions as well as interferences between the two. Results are presented for the LHC and compared to those of

Abstract: We study the production of a Higgs boson in association with bottom quarks in hadronic collisions, and present phenomenological predictions relevant to the 13 TeV LHC. Our results are accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, and matched to parton showers through the MC@NLO method; thus, they are fully differential and based on unweighted events, which we shower by using both Herwig+

Background: The aim of this study was to describe patients' experiences and perceived causes of persisting discomfort following day surgery. Earlier research has mainly covered symptoms and signs during a recovery period of up to one month, and not dealt with patients' perceptions of what causes persisting, longer-term discomfort.Methods: This study is a part from a study carried out during the pe

Tobias Norlind (1879–1947) var en allsidig och mycket produktiv vetenskapsman. I denna antologi behandlas olika sidor i hans verksamhet. Vid Lunds universitet var han med om att göra det möjligt att bedriva akademiska studier i musik. Parallellt med detta var han rektor vid flera nya folkhögskolor och undervisade vid dem. Båda dessa sidor fortsatte han med efter att ha flyttat till Stockholm. Där

A collection of articles dealing with a question of Jewish involvement in the interfaith and intercultural dialogue in the postwar Europe, Israel and the United States. The leitmotif of the volume is the Jewish attitude towards otherness and its relation to the responsibility for the other. The contributions pertain to the status of the non-Jewish residents of Israel, the social involvement into p

Purpose: We investigated whether a low-field MR unit (0.2 T) could demonstrate and determine the size of the lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament that were previously found on ultrasound. Material and Methods: Eighteen patients were examined with ultrasound, MR and liver biopsy on consecutive days. Results: Two-thirds of the enlarged nodes detected by ultrasound were also detected with the

Paper copies of digital radiographs printed with the continuous ink-jet technique have proved to be of a high enough quality for demonstration purposes. We present a study on the image quality of ink-jet printed paper copies of digital chest radiographs, based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Eighty-three digital radiographs of a chest phatom with simulated tumors in the medias

Thirty-two consecutive patients with a histological diagnosis of chronic active hepatitis were examined with liver biopsy, laboratory tests and ultrasonography of the hepato-duodenal ligament to investigate the possible correlation between enlarged lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament and biochemical activity, histological activity and/or humoral immunoreactivity. We found a significant cor

Myocardial 201Tl emission computed tomography was performed on 25 normal subjects and 27 patients with angiographically significant coronary artery disease. A semi-automatic computer program was designed to define the left ventricular myocardial volume in all short axis sections. Within this volume the relative mean myocardial pixel count was calculated. This parameter was found to separate the 2

Pulmonary sarcoidosis was studied with respect to lung mechanical properties and to the influence of these on lung volumes. Sixty six patients, with histological support for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, and radiological signs of pulmonary involvement, i.e. stage II or III, were studied. The static pressure/volume (P/V) curves showed that the static elastic recoil pressure (PelL) tended to be incr

Ninety-eight digital radiographs of a chest phantom with simulated tumors in the mediastinum and left lung and a pneumothoraxsimulation in the right hemithorax were compared with the corresponding examinations saved on optical disk and viewed on a 1000-line monitor. The examinations were reviewed by 7 radiologists with different experience, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were c

If we find life on another world, it will be an extremely important discovery and we will have to take great care not to do anything that might endanger that life. If the life we find is sentient we will have moral obligations to that life. Whether it is sentient or not, we have a duty to ourselves to preserve it as a study object, and also because it would be commonly seen as valuable in its own If we find life on another world, it will be an extremely important discovery and we will have to take great care not to do anything that might endanger that life.

Rhizopus arrhizus lipase immobilized on porous polypropylene was used in an acidolysis reaction in toluene at low water activity (0.11) to exchange the fatty acid in the sn-1-position of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). Without extra precautions, an yield of only about 20% was obtained, mainly due to side reactions; incorporation of an extra acyl group on the primary hydroxyl of the digalactosyl

Immobilised 1,3-specific lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus was used as catalyst for the esterification of dl-glycero-3-phosphate and fatty acid or fatty acid vinyl ester in a solvent-free system. With lauric acid vinyl ester as acyl donor, a(w)95%). With oleic acid, maximum conversions of 55% were obtained at low water activities. Temperatures below melting point of the product favored precipitation a
