Two different relatively simple, commercially available supercritical fluid extractors (SFE), Leco and Foss-Tecator, were tested for the determination of total fat content in meat and meat products. The fatty acid composition in meat and meat products was also determined after the Foss-Tecator extraction in an aliquot of the extract. Total fat was determined by weighing after the different extract

The labilised clusters [Os3(CO)11–nLn(NCMe)][n= 1, L = PMe3 or CNBut; n= 2, L = P(OMe)3] have been prepared. The reaction of [Os3(CO)11 –nLn(NCMe)] or [Os3(CO)10{P(OMe)3}(NCMe)] with either [Os3(CO)11(PH3)] or [Os3(µ-H)(CO)10(µ-PH2)] led to the formation of the phosphide-bridged clusters [Os6(µ-H)(CO)21{P(OMe)3}(µ-PH2)], [Os6(µ-H)(CO)21(PMe3)(µ-PH2)], [Os6(µ-H)(CO)21(CNBut)(µ-PH2)], [Os6(µ-H)(CO)2

The change in structure and mobility of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) containing 2 wt% of fumed silica and the water self-diffusion coefficient in concentrated PEO-water systems have been investigated at room temperature in the water weight fraction, w(w) range 0-0.50 w/w. Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure the self-diffusion coefficients. Structure and mobility prop

Bioethanol has received increasing attention as an alternative to petrol due to the current dependency on supplies from other countries and due to the increased concentration of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this thesis, the development of 2nd generation production processes for bioethanol production from the lignocellulosic part of biomass is discussed. The conversion of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Data från AVHRR-sensorn ombord på NOAA satelliten används operationellt för att övervaka vegetation och torka i global och regional skala. Ett vegetationsindex (NDVI) används som en indikator på grön växtbiomassa. Analys av AVHRR NDVI-data över Östafrika pekar på att det finns ett starkt samband mellan den ytmässiga fördelingen av vegetation och NDVI i arida och semi-aIn this thesis, an assessment is made of the performance of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from coarse resolution data from the NOAA AVHRR sensor, with particular reference to mapping and monitoring of drought and vegetation in East African vegetation and climatic conditions. Methods for analysing time series of satellite data are investigated. By studying the empirical

A geometrical theory for the time-evolution of strain localization (flow-localization) is discussed. The purpose is to obtain a reduction of the continuum mechanical problem of time-evolution of deformation to one involving few scalar invariants rather than the full field variables and thereby obtain a 'particle-like' description of the evolving localization zones. The present paper deals with the

Severe storm damage has been a recurring problem to the Swedish forestry sector since, at least, the start of the 19th century. This short communication presents a regionally resolved time-series of storm damage in Swedish forests during the last century. Data on storm damage have been gathered from the National Board of Forestry, the Regional Forestry Boards and scientific reports. Storm damage i

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia that demands medical attention. Computer-based detailed analysis of cardiac electrical signals from healthy subjects and patients with a history of atrial fibrillation has become an important tool in the further clarification of this disease. The aim of this study was to explore supraventricular conduction using the following selected techn

The effects of increasing age on skeletal muscle fatigue and endurance were assessed in 22 healthy young (14 men and 8 women; mean age, 28 +/- 6 years) and 16 healthy old (8 men and 8 women; mean age, 73 +/- 3 years) individuals. All subjects performed 100 repeated maximum dynamic knee extensions at 90 degrees.s-1 (1.57 rad.s-1) using an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex II). Peak torque was recorded

The castle Skeingeborg built around 1200 by the archbishop in Lund. It was build octagonal as a roadstation in the desert forestland at the border between Denmark and Sweden at the route between the bishopries in Lund and Växjö. The ironproduction and logistic possibilities in the area is discussed together with comparing studies of castles, roads and inland water transports in Denmark-Sweden
