SUMMARY Torsten Weimarck: ACADEMY AND ANATOMY. On the History of the Human Body in Art Instruction and Studio Practice from ca. 1600 up to ca. 1810, with Particular Emphasis on the Instruction of Anatomy at the Academies of Art in Stockholm and Copenhagen The aim of the present study is to contribute to the documentation and interpretation of the image and experience of the body by means of two

The transport processes in the porous, micro-structured electrodes are one of the least understood areas of research of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To enhance the knowledge of the transport process' impact on the performance in the electrodes, the micro-structure needs to be modeled in detail. But at these smaller scales, it can be both cost and time saving to first conclude at which scales,

This book investigates the significance processes of Americanization had had in shaping and influencing the form and content of everyday life in Sweden. However, rather than simply viewing Americanization as an irresistable homogenizing force, it is argued that to the extent that Swedish everyday life has been Americanized, it has been Americanized in a very Swedish way. Here the dreams, actions,

The essay presents and discusses the Austrian-Jewish author and journalist Joseph Roth with reference to fundamental sociological problems and concepts. The discussion relates Roth's biography to his texts and relate both to key classical modern experiences as well as intellectual discourses.

Vehicle rollover accidents are a particularly dangerous form of road accident. Commercial vehicles are especially prone to rollover accidents due to their high centres of gravity. A nonlinear control strategy is presented which guarantees asymptotic tracking of a yaw rate reference while bounding the roll angle, thus preventing rollover. A new computationally-efficient control allocation strategy

Resource-optimization of the infrastructure for service oriented applications require accurate performance models. In this paper we investigate the performance dynamics of a MySQL/InnoDB database server with write-heavy workload. The main objective of our investigation was to understand the system dynamics due to the buffering of disk operations that occurs in database servers with write-heavy wor

The microflora of Herrgård cheese produced at three dairies was compared after three and six months maturation. The microflora of cheeses from two of the dairies was dominated by a spontaneous microflora of Lactobacillus after three months of ripening, while starter bacteria still dominated in cheese from the third dairy after six months. Isolates were typed by the PCR-based method Randomly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns många kemikalier i vår miljö där vissa har visat sig göra hanliga fiskar honliga, äggskalen tunnare hos fåglar och som kan göra honliga snäckor hanliga, och det verkar ju inte vara en bra framtid för dessa djur. Sådana kemikalier går under benämningen endokrina störare, eftersom de stör naturliga biologiska processer som är viktiga för djurs utveckling av orgaCommunities are composed of organisms that interact with each other and with the non-biological environment. There are also anthropogenic pollutants in the environment that also interact with the organisms. Estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds, for example 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2, the active compound in contraceptive pills), released into surface waters can have negative effects on the orga

Protein structure and stability are inherent in the amino acid sequence and governed by non-covalent interactions. The cooperation between forces is, however, perplexing and not well understood. In order to elucidate and predict protein folding and stability, detailed studies of non-covalent interactions are required. Presented in this thesis are detailed studies on electrostatic interactions in
