We present a method for the estimation of the distribution of the quasi-static hogging-bending moment for a floating body. Starting points of this study are temporal characteristics of the sea state. The approximation is deduced from the estimation of the joint distribution of crest amplitude and crest length. The quality of the model is investigated by comparing computed distributions with empiri

The efficacy and function of antioxidants have been intensively studied in foods and other biological systems in recent decades. This thesis concerns different aspects of the antioxidant properties of bovine milk, with emphasis on measurement of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC), the activity of the selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), and the bioavailability of selenium from bov

Intestinal activities are controlled and co-ordinated by way of neuronal reflexes involving both extrinsic and intramural neurones, the enteric nervous system (ENS). This review focuses on the organisation, development and functional properties of the intestinal innervation and of the neurotransmitters utilised.

We consider the application of multiuser detection to the downlink of interference-limited multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular systems. MIMO systems have been shown to yield a tremendous capacity for a single link with white Gaussian noise. In a cellular environment, there will often be co-channel interference from other cells, which becomes the dominating channel impairment. Here space

Two unrelated individuals with autistic behavior had numerous swollen axon terminals (spheroids) located in specific brain regions relevant to their behavioral symptoms. Spheroids are characteristic of neuroaxonal dystrophy, but the clinical profile and anatomic distribution of the lesions in these two patients differed from those of previously described patients with neuroaxonal dystrophy. Sphero

Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom att utsätta ett material för elektromagnetisk strålning med tillräckligt hög frekvens kan man "slå ut" elektroner. Denna mekanism, som förklarades av Albert Einstein redan 1905, går under namnet den fotoelektriska effekten och utnyttjas idag bl.a. i fotoemissionsexperiment. I dessa experiment analyserar man energin hos de utsända elektronerna och kan dra slutsatseThe present thesis is concerned with the theoretical study of x-ray photoemission spectra from clean and adsorbate-covered metal surfaces. The main tool is ab initio density functional (DFT) total energy calculations. The first part gives an overview of the theoretical treatment of x-ray photoemission with our present contributions highlighted, and an introduction to DFT theory and computational t

The theme of this monograph of Informing Science is a dialectic we perceive to exist between meaningful use and reflection upon use. This dialectic between use and reflection on use (or thinking, and thinking about thinking) may be considered in the following way. Each of these elements is subject to change. As reflection triggers change in use, and such change triggers further reflection, a spira

The Sun-Chariot from Trundholm is world famous, and the finding place is marked with a monument. In the same way the finding places for The golden horns from Gallehus, the Egtved girl, the Dejbjerg chariots, the Gundestrup cauldron, the Nydam boat and many other finds have been remembered during the 20th Century with memorials, often a stone monument. Which finds have become national symbols or h

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jahai är ett språk som tillhör asli-grenen av språkfamiljen mon-khmer och talas av ca 1000 jägare-samlare i bergsregnskogarna i norra Västmalaysia. Denna avhandling, baserad på språkliga data inhämtade i fält, beskriver och analyserar grammatiken i jahai. Arbetet inleds med en introduktion till språket och dess talare och behandlar sedan bl.a. ljudsystemet (fonologin), Jahai, a language belonging to the Aslian branch of the Mon-Khmer language family, is spoken by a group of about 1,000 hunter-gatherers in the montane rainforests of northern Peninsular Malaysia. Drawing on linguistic data collected in the field, the present dissertation is a study of the grammar of Jahai. The work begins with an introduction to Jahai and its speakers, and subsequent chapters char

Hur undviker vi att fastna i gamla "sanningar"? Hur ställer vi frågor som möjliggör överraskande svar? Hur skapar vi ett arbetsklimat som stimulerar reflektion? Detta är några av de frågor som diskuteras i "Reflexiv fältarkeologi?". I boken medverkar 33 författare varav flertalet är verksamma inom uppdragsarkeologin. Boken tar pulsen på dagens svenska fältarkeologi och fångar åsikter och erfarenhe
