A detailed experimental and theoretical investigation has been made on the use of Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) in two configurations; right-angle LII and backward LII. Both right-angle and backward LII imaging measurements were conducted in simultaneous experiments at various pulse energies. The theoretically calculated LII signals were based on a heat transfer model for soot particles expose

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antikroppar är proteiner som ingår i kroppens immunförsvar, där de fungerar som bindare för att neutralisera patogena mikroorganismer eller ämnen som infekterat kroppen. Vid en infektion börjar immunceller producera antikroppar genom att på ett smart sätt sätta ihop olika gener. Varje enskild immuncell använder en viss kombination av gener och producerar därmed antikropRecombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th deadliest cancer, with a 5-year survival rat

Event-triggered control is a promising alternative to time-triggered control, especially for severely resource-constrained networked embedded systems. Previous work has shown that event-triggered control can reduce both the output variance and the average control rate in scalar linear stochastic systems compared to time-triggered control. It has also been shown how a minimum inter-control interval

A reformulation of the dual control problem makes it possible to interpret and understand the nature of different approximations to dual control, in particular the Adaptive Predictive Controller (APC) and the Active Suboptimal Dual Controller (ASOD). The analysis makes the origin of the computational problems more clear, and suggests new alternatives for approximations.

We have computed the quark anti-quark expectation value in finite volume at two loop in chiral perturbation theory and compare it with a formula obtained in analogy to the Luscher formula for pion mass in finite volume. We observe that due to the small finite size correction at two loop it is not possible to obtain conclusions on the accuracy of the extended Luscher formula

Abstract This paper addresses the importance of networks for entrepreneurs in bankruptcy, based on interviews with entrepreneurs who have experienced at least one bankruptcy. Analysis of the interviews reveals two discursive themes: entrepreneurship and bankruptcy. Entrepreneurship is expressed in terms of initiative and of contacts in business contexts; bankruptcy concerns economic marginalizatio

One of the instances that have often been suggested as a possible link between Indo-European and biblical traditions and thought constructs is that of the battle against the dragon or sea monster – a special instance of the Chaoskampf motif. Suggestions in this direction have been put forth by Nicolas Wyatt and by Ajoy Kumar Lahiri, who have argued that Semitic traditions concerning the divine bat

This paper presents narrowband path loss measurements carried out at the 5.1 GHz band. The focus has been on building-shielding loss in office-building areas. Both azimuth and elevation dependence have been studied. The measurement campaign was performed in a multi-storey building on three different floors in an indoor office environment. A helicopter was used to simulate a mobile satellite system
