In this paper the advantages of accelerator-based chemical analysis of work environment aerosols are discussed. Use of the PIXE method is central, but in order to take full advantage of the possibilities of an accelerator laboratory, it should be combined with nuclear methods such as particle-induced nuclear reactions and/or particle scattering for simultaneous measurements of light elements. It i

This text shows how the use of archaeological evicence in reconstructing the past give different views of each period in the past, from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Reconstructing the past is an adventure based on both knowledge and experience.

This paper addresses the design of self-timed energy minimum circuits, operating in the sub-VT domain. The paper presents a generic implementation template using bundled-data circuitry and current sensing completion detection. To support this, a fully-decoupled latch controller has been developed, which integrates the current sensing circuitry. The paper outlines a corresponding design flow, which

Den här rapporten utgår från empirisk data som samlats in inom ramen för det rättssociologiska forskningsprojektet Kränkningar i en digital kontext som finansieras av Brottsofferfonden. Bearbetningen har genomförts av Måns Svensson (projektansvarig) och Karl Dahlstrand, båda verksamma vid Rättssociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Rapporten har sammanställts på uppdrag av Ungdomsstyrel

We used three animal models of rats for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in this study. Firstly, We found that CXI induced arthritis (CXIIA) is associated with the RT1 f haplotype and follows a chronic disease course affecting peripheral joints with both progression and relapses. The main difference of pathological changes in CXIIA rats against rats with CIIIA was a larger number of infiltrating lymphocy

Objective. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) performed during a work day and a non-work day had any impact on the night dipping profile. Study design. A crossover randomized ABPM study in primary healthcare was retrospectively analysed for the occurrence of non-dipping (ND), dipping (D) or extreme (XD) nightly dipping. Non-dippers were defined as s

We have studied the Pd(100)-(√5×√5)-O structure formed by adsorption of 0.8 ML of oxygen by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), High Resolution Core Level Spectroscopy (HRCLS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT). We show that a recent tensor Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) analysis of the Pd(100)-(√5×√5)-O structure is incompatible with our results from this structure. A new model that is

Improvement of cancer treatment is a major challenge of medical research. Despite the immense efforts made in the improvement of diagnosis and treatment, cancer remains a major concern and cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the modern anti-neoplastic therapies have severe side effects, and tumor cells often develop drug resistance. There is promise in the new generation of treatments (gene

In the 1860s, Sweden’s harsh religious legislation was liberalised. The Dissenter Act legalised conversions to other Christian denominations, but it put in place many obstacles to leaving the established church, and many of the legal restrictions were obviously anti-Catholic in intent. Anti-Catholic sentiment was also expressed in conjunction with the legislative proposals and parliamentary debate

In this study, we adapt and apply model observers within the framework of realistic detection tasks in breast tomosynthesis (BT). We use images consisting of realistic masses digitally embedded in real patient anatomical backgrounds, and we adapt specific model observers that have been previously applied to digital mammography (DM). We design alternative forced-choice experiments (AFC) studies for

Student motivation is a key to effective deep learning. This paper aims at exploring competition as key motivating element in teaching of SCM at master level. The paper reports on our experiences from introducing monetary prices for student group works as a measure to increase extrinsic student motivation. A main question is to investigate how monetary prizes and other rewards mechanisms affect th
