Rat bladder hypertrophy, induced by a partial ligation of the urethra, was used to study the accompanying changes of microvascular smooth muscle mechanics, pharmacology and morphology. A segment of a microarterial vessel to the bladder was taken from a defined anatomical location and studied in a wire myograph in vitro at the length for maximal isometric force development (Lmax). After 10 days of

A method for analysing the influence of profile errors upon load-sharing capabilities and mesh stiffness of spur gears is proposed. The analysis is based upon a static, two-dimensional finite element approach. The contacts between mating gear teeth are identified in the deformed state, and the nodal point density permits contact pressure distribution emulation for moderate to high load levels. In

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens industriella system är inte långsiktigt hållbara. För detta behövs bland annat fundamentala förändringar av hur samhällets resurser används. Detta gäller den totala volymen som förbrukas men också vilka ämnen som sätts i omlopp i samhället. Därutöver behövs ett mer rättvist utnyttjande av dessa resurser. Industriell ekologi är den vetenskap som studerar de förändToday's industrial systems are regarded to have unsustainable characteristics. In order to acquire a more sustainable state, fundamental changes are needed in the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the resource flows associated with such systems. These need to go hand in hand with a more equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens associated with such resource use. The identification a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i västvärlden och det finns idag ingen behandling för funktionell återställning. Efter stroke ökar den striatala neurogenesen och de nybildade neuroblasterna vandrar mot det skadade området. Denna respons har ansetts vara av akut och övergående art. I denna avhandling har en modell av experimentell stroke använts (2 h of middle cStroke is a leading cause of death and disability for which there is no treatment for functional recovery. Following stroke, striatal neurogenesis is increased, with newly formed neuroblasts migrating towards the damage. This response has so far been considered acute and transient. In this thesis, a model of experimental stroke (2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO) used to study three a

Recycling as part of environmental considerations has become a common feature in architecture and building construction. Recycling of building waste can make a considerable contribution to reducing the total environmental impact of the building sector. To increase the scope for recycling in the future, aspects of recycling have to be included in the design phase. Design for disassembly is a key ta

Summary This report presents results from the project ”Converting direct resistive electric heating into district heating - customer related aspects” conducted at the division of Efficient Energy Systems, Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University. The main objective of this study was to investigate how specific households within one housing area (Sandsbro in Växjö with 110 one-family houses)

OBJECTIVE: This study of myocardial infarction (MI) amongst urban women has sought to assess whether there are differences in fatal outcome, in-hospital respectively out-of-hospital, between residential areas defined in terms of socio-economic circumstances. DESIGN: Register-based surveillance study 1986-95. SETTING: Seventeen residential areas in the city of Malmo, Sweden. SUBJECTS: Women 20-74 y

There is convincing evidence for a decreased risk of breast cancer with increased physical activity. Uncertainties remain, however, about the role of different types of physical activity on breast cancer risk and the potential effect modification for these associations. We used data from 218,169 premenopausal and postmenopausal women from nine European countries, ages 20 to 80 years at study entry

The SI-mediated carotenoid to BChl a energy-transfer pathway and carotenoid radical formation have been studied using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. A series of LH2 complexes (LH2 = light-harvesting complex 2) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides incorporating carotenoids neurosporene, spheroidene, and spheroidenone were used to explore the effect of conjugation length. The S

Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskarna inom Chicagoskolan var de första i ett akademiskt ramverk som systematiskt och etnografiskt satte gruppen och människan i centrum i en modern urban kontext. Det hade förekommit andra som skrivit om industrialism, modernism, urbanitet och de fattiga i slummen, men inte på ett lika systematiskt och genomträngande sätt som Chicagoskolan. Skolans strävan att föranThe main purpose of my thesis is to investigate how the Chicago School in urban sociology, that was active between 1915 and 1935, developed and why it produced so many classical monographs during a period of about ten to fifteen years. To outline the historical reasons for the School to develop I have chosen to view the historical context as a field with different actors. Another related and overa
