The J = 0 --> J' = 0 radiative transitions, usually viewed as allowed through two-photon decay, may also be induced by the hyperfine (HPF) interaction in atoms or ions having a nonzero nuclear spin. We compute new and review existing decay rates for the nsnp P-3(J)0 --> nS(2 1)S(J'= 0) transitions in ions of the Be (n = 2) and Mg (n = 3) isoelectronic sequences. The HPF induced decay rates for the

Ur ett hundraårsperspektiv har arbetsmarknaden genomgått avsevärda förändringar. Majoriteten av löntagarna utgörs numera av tjänstemän. I Sverige svarar de även för majoriteten av fackmedlemmarna. De svenska fackföreningarna tillämpade redan tidigt en bred medlemsrekrytering, men till bilden hör också att Sverige har världens mest klassuppdelade fackliga rörelse. Inte minst för tjänstemännen har d

It has recently been recognized that there is declining interest in ornithology among the younger generations. In this paper we analyse the short and long-term dynamics of the Swedish Ornithological Society (SOF) and the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SNF) by using analytical tools from population ecology. We first show that the increasing number of SOF and SNF members is not the result

This report contains abstracts of master thesis (examensarbete) made at the Department of Automatic Control, Lund, during the academic year 77/78. During this year 16 theses were made by 23 students. The theses are written in Swedish with an English abstract.

Radiative lifetimes of 6 levels belonging to the4f5(6Hdeg,6Fdeg)5d configuration of Sm III have beenmeasured for the first time using a time-resolved laser-inducedfluorescence technique. Experimental data have been compared withsemi-empirical calculations. The agreement is excellent for 4 levelswith 6Fdeg as a parent term. Larger discrepancies(53 and 37) are observed for 2 levels with 6Hdegand 6Fd

The neuroprotective effect of the antiparkinsonian monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor, R-(-)-deprenyl has been under investigation for years. Cytoskeleton, a main component of cell adhesion, is involved in the development of R-(-)-deprenyl-responsive diseases, the effect of the drug on cell adhesion, however, is not known. We examined the effect of R-(-)-deprenyl on cell-cell adhesion of neuronal

1. The impact of the introduced omnivorous signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus ) on trout fry, macroinvertebrates and algae was evaluated in a brown water stream in southern Sweden using in situ enclosures. We also examined the gut content of all surviving crayfish in the enclosures. Two crayfish densities in addition to a control without crayfish were used in replicate enclosures (1.26 m(2)

Fourteen patients with spinal lymphoma examined by MR imaging were reviewed. Thirteen of them also had extraspinal lymphoma. Vertebral involvement was found in 12 patients, epidural in 10, and paraspinal in 8 patients. On the basis of MR imaging at 0.3 T, spinal lymphoma may be divided into three types of growth pattern according to the main location: paraspinal, vertebral, and epidural. Most freq

High nutrient availability and defoliation generally reduce ectomycorrhizal colonization levels in trees, but it is not known how this affects the functional aspects of mycorrhizal symbiosis. It was therefore investigated whether (1) defoliation or increasing substrate N availability reduce C allocation from the plant to the fungus and N allocation from the fungus to the plant (symbiotic resource

Purpose: To compare the clinical and bacteriological effects of fucidic acid (Fucithalmic(R): 1.0%) and chloramphenicol (Minims(R): 0.5%) eye drops in neonates with a clinical diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis of suspected bacterial origin. Methods: A total of 456 newborns with gestational age > 32 weeks with acute conjunctivitis of suspected bacterial origin acquired within the first 28 days of l

”Vad händer när en stor tänkare tystnar?” Jacques Derrida ställde frågan vid Lévinas begravning i Paris för drygt tio år sedan. Och han svarade: ”Det är en upplevelse som för min del kommer att förbli outsinlig vad beträffar Emmanuel Lévinas. Just såsom är fallet med Lévinas tankar vilka är som källor, det vill säga, jag kommer aldrig att upphöra att börja och att börja om på nytt att tänka med de
