Simultaneous OH- and formaldehyde planar-LIF measurements have been performed in an optical engine using two laser sources working on 283 and 355 nm, respectively. The measurements were performed in a light- duty diesel engine, using n-heptane as fuel, converted to single- cylinder operation and modified for optical access. It was also equipped with a direct-injection, common-rail system as well a

This chapter examines contemporary Swedish video art and its relation to television, media culture, and the phenomenon of industrial image reproduction, in the perspective of the writings of Kierkegaard and Baudelaire. Works by three Swedish video artists - Andreas Hagström, Conny Blom, and Jesper Norda - are analysed.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I detta projekt studerar vi reaktioner som är av betydelse för omvandling av ljusenergi till elektricitet eller bränsle. Materialen är nya typer av organiska polymermaterial som kan ge morgondagens energisnåla och miljövänliga solceller, TV- och datorskärmar, ljuskällor, mm. Men för att detta skall inträffa krävs mycken ny forskning för att förstå de processer som liggeThe main part of the thesis is concerned with charge photogeneration in conjugated polymers. MeLPPP and POMeOPT films were investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy using different excitation photon energies and light intensities with and without an external electric field. We conclude that electric field-assisted charge pair photogeneration occurs from vibrationally relaxed singlet excito

Description and assessment of attitudes among young women--all living in villages near Shiraz, Iran--toward family, education, employment, marriage, gender relations, religion, politics, and US-Iran relations. Data derived from author's interviews in period 2001-2005.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Glatt muskulatur finns i mag-tarm kanalen, i blodkärl, i luftvägarna och i flera av urogenital organen och dess funktion på alla dessa platser är att förkorta sig och generera kraft. Så styrs t.ex. blodtrycket av sammandragning i artärer och vener och transporten av föda genom mag-tarm kanalen av rytmiska kontraktioner. Det är känt att koncentrationen av fritt kalcium iThe relationship between intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and force in smooth muscle was investigated in receptor-coupled permeabilized preparations and by fluorimetry of the calcium indicator Fura 2 in intact smooth muscle. The time integral of spontaneous [Ca2+]i transients in the intact rat portal vein was decreased by cyanide and, during tonic contraction, cyanide reduced force without cha

Analysis of Michael Håfström's cinematic adaptation of Jan Guillou's bestselling novel Ondskan.

The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) is developing predictive numerical models for simulating the waves, currents, sediment transport, and morphology change at and around coastal inlets. Water motion at a coastal inlet is a combination of quasi-steady currents such as river flow, tidal current, wind-generated current, and seiching, and of oscillatory flows generated by surface waves. Waves c

In this article the author examines varieties of resource-conflicts between peasants and lords regarding woods and forests in Scania, Denmark, during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Important results are among others that the wood resource was very disputed this period due to an increasing population pressure as well as an expansive landed aristocracy. The patterns of conflict were often c

The production of ethanol based on lignocellulosic biomass requires the fermentation of a hydrolysate containing hexose and pentose sugars in an inhibitory environment. In fact, the lignocellulosic hydrolysate obtained from pretreatment and hydrolysis of the raw material contains a variety of inhibitory compounds, including (i) the furaldehydes 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) and 2-furaldehyde

Green products are becoming part of contemporary consumer cultures and part of everyday life. But how are green products constructed? And how do they work? This paper is concerned with the role that marketing plays in the making and circulation of green products. My aim is to illuminate the process of green making. Departing from an understanding of marketing as socio- material practice I analyse

Vi löper ofta risker som vi inte tar. Och vi vet ofta litet om de situationer där vi tar risker. Dessa två iakttagelser utgör den här bokens utgångspunkter. Det är utgångspunkter som inte passar så väl ihop med mycket annat som vi brukar ta för givet i risksammanhang. Läsaren får därför många tillfällen att ompröva sin syn på saker som skillnaden mellan fara och risk, vad ett riskobjekt är och vad

Hur en specifik lag – det må vara utlänningslagen, socialtjänstelagen eller lagen om djurskydd – utformas är av stor betydelse, eftersom den sätter ramarna för dess tillämpning. Men hur den tolkas och tillämpas av de ansvariga myndigheterna är en spegling av samverkande ekonomiska, politiska, ideologiska faktorer i samhället. Under 1989 trädde en ny utlänningslag i kraft. Den ger polisen större mö
