When treating patients suffering from renal failure with hemodialysis, an obvious point of interest is the actual blood cleaning efficiency of the dialyzer (artificial kidney). This efficiency is called clearance or dialysance. The method currently used for estimating clearance is based on doing a step-change on the process. Due to the nature of the process, this method is slow and has a relativel

I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten.

An earthshine telescope has been designed and is being fabricated at Lund Observatory in collaboration with the Danish Meteorological Institute. The instrument will measure the albedo of the Earth by observing the Moon in white light and in certain spectral bands. The measurement is based on relative photometry of the dark and bright sides of the Moon, so the optical design of the telescope has be
