The time development of neck formation in ductile elastic-plastic bars is analyzed numerically in order to obtain a qualitative description of the features of dynamic neck localization under impact conditions. The full time history is visualized using contour plots of the time development of a strain rate parameter. Both axisymmetric and planar bars are studied. Several types of neck development a

Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate, [PtdIns(4,5)P2], is a signalling lipid which is involved in many important processes in animal cells such as cytoskeleton organization, intracellular vesicular trafficking, secretion, cell motility, regulation of ion channels, and nuclear signalling pathways. In contrast to the animal field, much less is known about the roles of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and its synthesi

Analysis of the early films of Peter Weiss (1916 - 1982).

This thesis presents an object-oriented technique for rewriting abstract syntax trees in order to simplify compilation. The technique, Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars (ReRAGs), is completely declarative and supports both rewrites and computations by means of attributes. We have implemented ReRAGs in our aspect-oriented compiler compiler tool JastAdd II. We present the ReRAG formalism, its

A small co-insurance rate, corresponding to say 5 percent of the patient's annual taxable income, would reduce the the demand for health care substantially and allow tax reductions. Under certain conditions the latter would be so large that the net effect would be increase income for everyone concerned. Hence, do we have a case for patient charges? - Yes, but only under certain conditions.

Sedan flera år tillbaka har bedömning av pedagogiska meriter och pedagogisk skicklighet uppmärksammats alltmer inom högskolesektorn, i synnerhet i samband med anställning och befordran (se Ryegård m.fl., 2010, för aktuell svensk översikt). Högskoleförordningen kräver sedan 2002 högskolepedagogisk utbildning för behörighet att anställas som adjunkt eller lektor; liksom att lika omsorg ägnas prövnin

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) is a non-invasive and rapid optical method used in many medical diagnosis applications [1], measuring the characteristic reflectance spectrum produced as light passes through tissue. A drawback of this approach is that a pressure is created on the surface of the tissue affecting the optical properties of the studied tissue as well as the light-coupling into t

Syftet med projektet Hälsosant har varit att över Internet rehabilitera långtidssjukskrivna individer med stressrelaterad ohälsa. Projektet har haft två mål: att se om ett koncept för rehabilitering av smärtpatienter (Hälsosantkonceptet) fungerar rehabiliterande även för individer med stressrelaterad ohälsa och att närmare studera processen fram till utmattningssyndrom, hur det vänder, och hur sjä

The situation for minorities in the Middle East in the midst of transformations are complicated. Not least after the so called Arab Uprisings. In this conference we focused on the situation for Christians in the Middle East. Scholars, journalists and activists from Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libanon and Palestine/Israel met in Lund for discussions and seminar during December 5-7. The conference was co-or
