Abstract in UndeterminedAs standards and regulatory codes are issued by third party organizations and committees, the project organization can neither control the content of all standards that the projects should adhere to, nor negotiate or make changes to them that can make the project development easier. Moreover, large infrastructure projects require compliance with hundreds of standards of reg

This text deals with the interlacing of fashion and conservation of style as multiple forces in Modernity.

We extend the Tasche (2007) model on the asset correlation bias caused by a currency mismatch between assets and liabilities to the more realistic situation where some assets, and some, but not necessarily all, liabilities, are denominated in a foreign currency. To test the significance of the remaining bias we rely on a unique data base constructed by The Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) co

Labeled analogs to an antiproliferative naphthoxyloside have been synthesized and evaluated. Our investigations have shown that the fluorescently labeled analogs are poor structural analogs, and the physical and biological properties are altered to a large extent. Instead, a radioactively labeled compound was synthesized, which made it possible to follow the pathway in the cell. The results showed

This chapter presents a short introduction to the Syriac versions of the sayings of the desert fathers (the Apohthegmata Patrum)and a comprehensive list of the apophthegmatic contents of MS Sin. syr. 46 (AD 532) with references.

A cell is constantly subjected to cues from its surroundings in the form of signalling molecules e.g. Wingless (Wg), Insulin-like growth factor (IGF). As a result, important decisions regarding processes like growth, division, differentiation or migration are made. The work presented here attempts to characterise a cell-surface molecule in Drosophila that helps in the reception of some of these si

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vardagslivets aktiviteter påverkar vår hälsa och vårt välbefinnande. Idag är aktiviteterna ofta spridda över stora geografiska områden och vi måste resa för att nå aktiviteterna. Resandet blir därmed en viktig del av vår vardag. Att resa är en kedja av händelser och för att nå målet måste alla länkar och dimensioner beaktas, från det att resan planeras till det att måleEngagement in daily activities is central for people’s health and well-being. Today, our activity arenas mostly cover great geographical areas, and to reach different activities we must travel. However, people with functional limitations are sometimes restricted in their travelling. In order to investigate accessibility problems in different travel chains, the overarching objective of this thesis
