An introduction to high-power lasers and strong-field laser-atom interactions is given, and the main experimental and theoretical results concerning high-order harmonic generation are reviewed. The single atom response as well as the macroscopic phase-matching effect is discussed. The formation and extent of the characteristic plateau in the harmonic spectra are discussed in terms of a physical pi
Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS) are rare malignancies, accounting for less than 10% of uterine sarcomas. Apart from the chromosomal rearrangement t(7;17)(p15;q21), which leads to the JAZF1/SUZ12 chimera, cytogenetic studies have shown that the chromosome band 6p21 is often rearranged in ESS. The translocation partners involved in the 6p21 rearrangements differ among the tumors, but chromosome 7
This doctoral dissertation is an overview of the recently arisen Sango language spoken in the Central African Republic. The overview contains a sociolinguistic and linguistic dimension with a lexical-semantic focus. The study is set within a multidisciplinary framework including a functional-typological perspective, language change induced by contact, and language planning. The study shows that th
Local factors influencing the rate of diffusion of residential photovoltaic (PV) systems are insufficiently understood. This multiple-case study explored five Swedish municipalities which have had a particularly high PV density in terms of number of installations per capita, compared to other municipalities. The aim was to identify and assess local factors that could explain these relatively high
Windmills, but no flour: A reply on Stefan Larssons comments on my article, "Flugten fra middelalderen" (The escape from the Middle Ages) in META 1999: 1
Det finns i vår kultur en djupt rotad föreställning om att det danar karaktären och är bra för disciplinen att gå upp tidigt på morgonen. I industrisamhället, där äldre barn och ungdomar var en vital del av arbetskraften, var tidiga morgnar ofta en nödvändighet för att dagsljuset skulle kunna användas maximalt även den mörka tiden på året. Detta förhållningssätt till klocktiden har levt kvar änd
Sveriges väg till medlemskap i Bretton Woods-organisationerna (Valutafonden och Världsbanken) har hittills i det närmaste legat försänkt i historisk skugga. Den vägen sträcker sig från 1943, när de allierade valutaplanerna för efterkrigstiden presenterades, och fram till 1951, när Sverige gick med i det internationella valutasamarbetet. I den här artikeln beskrivs de viktigaste händelserna, aktöre
Denna rapport ger exempel på energieffektivisering och dess möjligheter i vårdbyggnader. Framför allt tar den upp värmeåtervinning i äldre ventilationssystem av FT-typ samt effektivisering av belysningssystem. Den behandlar också elanvändning och viss kylteori. De två byggnader som omfattas av rapporten är två fristående klinikbyggnader på Lunds universitetssjukhus. Det är Infektionskliniken, på c
Fracture dislocations of the PIP joint are challenging to treat. In hemi-hamate arthroplasty, the palmar lip joint surface is reconstructed using an osteochondral graft from the hamate and the immediate stability permits early movement. In the long term, collapse of non-vascularized osteochondral grafts might lead to degenerative arthritis. We examined the radiographic result after a minimum of 4

The newly discovered adipokine visfatin has been hypothesized to be related to obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigate if the 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs4730153 and G-948T are associated with obesity and/or related traits and whether they influence the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of PBEF1 (originally the abbreviation for pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor 1) in visce
Coronary heart disease (CHD) development is associated to a combination of lifestyle and genetic factors. A number of lifestyle risk factors is well defined, while genetic factors have not yet been well determined.
