This paper analyses different improvements regarding

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med syftet att utvärdera tillämpbarheten av den ytvågsseismiska tekniken Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW), vilken används för bestämning av skjuvmodulen (Gmax), har fyra olika tillämpningsområden studerats. De fyra områdena har varit lokaler med naturliga jordförhållanden, lokaler där enbart icke-förstörande metoder normalt är möjliga att använda, test av vägbaWith the main aim to test the applicability of the surface wave seismic technique Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW), used for determination of the shear stiffness (shear modulus - Gmax), four areas of applications have been studied. The four areas have been sites with natural geological conditions, sites where non destructive testing is necessary, pavement testing and multichannel testing.

The gold-bracteates from the migration period are circular medallion like objects with a diameter of about 5 cm. The production began at approximately AD 450 and came to an end at about AD 550. Thus the bracteates were in use for a period of a hundred years. This dissertation focuses on the iconography of the so called C-bracteates.

Background The Ho: YAG laser is used extensively in orthopedic surgery. It offers a minimally invasive method of ablating tissue with precision. Previous studies have explored the effects of laser use on temperature during experimental foraminoplasty. To date, there has been limited work on the effects of thermal stress on cells in this context. Material and methods Cells were exposed either to h
