The present invention relates to a membrane pump and an apparatus comprising such a membrane pump. The membrane pump comprises a pumping chamber and a flexible member separating the pumping chamber into a first accumulation container and a second accumulation container. The flexible member is configured to be movable within the pumping chamber so as to vary a volume relationship between the first

This thesis explores the possibility of using advanced device geometries and heterostructure engineering to manipulate, control, and study the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires. The first part of the thesis investigates the use of different gate-all-around architectures for creating new types of gate-controlled nanowire devices, primarily intended for fundamental studies

First part of a series of three articles on the history of freemasonry in the Swedish possession Swedish-Pomerania on German soil.

Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att den tekniska utvecklingen avseende IT-hjälpmedel och bostadsanpassningar för de närmaste kommande åren inte främst är en teknisk fråga. Visserligen pågår en utveckling av tekniska tillämpningar med stor potential a

The Volvo Aero Corp. (VAC) Triangular Bluff Body Stabilized Combustion rig VR-1 has been extensively researched both in terms of experiments and theoretical treatment. Previous CFD work has concentrated on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models combined with the Level Set Flamelet Library approach. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has also been applied to the case. In this paper the Zimont Turbu

Leukocyte recruitment is a key feature of liver injury associated with endotoxemia and systemic inflammation. The aim of this thesis was to define the adhesive mechanisms underlying leukocyte endothelial cell interactions, and the therapeutic potential of interference with specific adhesion molecules in endotoxemic liver damage. Moreover, the causal relationship between leukocyte recruitment on on

The striatum is the major component of the ventral telencephalon and basal ganglia, involved in the processing of cortical information. The vast majority of the neuronal population in the striatum are striatal projection neurons, with connection to the globus pallidus and substantia nigra. The remaining striatal population consists largely of cholinergic, parvalbumin or somatostatin-containing int

Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. This thesis is based upon six original papers that deal with the function and transcription of human DCs, with focus on their r
