Turbulent premixed natural gas - air flame velocities have been measured in a stationary axi-symmetric burner using LDA. The flame was stabilized by letting the flow retard toward a stagnation plate downstream of the burner exit. Turbulence was generated by letting the flow pass through a plate with drilled holes. Three different hole diameters were used, 3, 6 and 10 mm, in order to achieve differ

This paper introduces a new method for real-time relighting of scenes illuminated by local light sources. We extend previous work on precomputed radiance transfer for distant lighting to local lighting by introducing the concept of unstructured light clouds. The unstructured light cloud enables a compact representation of local lights in the model and real-time rendering of complex models with ful

Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) is involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Exogenous administration of FGF-2 increased dopaminergic (DA) graft survival in different animal models of Parkinson's disease. To study the physiological function of the endogenous FGF-2 system, we analyzed the nigrostriatal system of mice lacking FGF-2, mice overexpressing FGF-2, and FGF-

Direct electron transfer reactions of high redox potential Trametes hirsuta laccase on bare and 15 different thiol-modified gold electrodes were studied using cyclic voltammetry and potentiometry: Well-pronounced Faradaic processes were obtained for the enzyme adsorbed on bare gold, whereas reproducible and stable electrochemistry was obtained only when 4-aminothiophenol was used for gold modifica

Pinch grafting for treatment of chronic leg ulcers has been evaluated mainly in hospitalized and immobilized patients. This study describes the results of 199 pinch graft operations of 126 chronic leg and foot ulcers in 85 patients in primary care between 1987 and 2001. The aetiology of the ulcers was venous insufficiency in 43% and multi-factorial in 25% (77% with venous insufficiency as the main

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling studeras new age utifrån problemområdena hälsa, kroppslighet och genus. Genom intervjuer med andliga sökare inom new age ges en bild av de trosföreställningar och attityder som kännetecknar rörelsen. Också sökarnas olika vägar till new age och relationer till andra religioner analyseras. I det senmoderna samhället är hälsa ett eftersträvansvärt livsväIn this thesis New Age is studied from a sociological perspective, with a focus on health, body, and gender. One purpose is to examine how people within New Age view and relate to these problem areas. A parallel purpose is to find explanations to why women predominantly take an interest in New Age, and to discover how these explanations are related to the view on health, body and gender. The subje

Images by cryo-transmission electron microscopy show two types of structure in dilute aqueous mixtures of amylose (AM) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS): Loose fibrous networks and unilamellar vesicles. Neither of the structures was observed in reference solutions of AM or SDS alone. It is proposed that both types of structure consist of inclusion complexes where SDS molecules are enclosed in V-typ

AIMS: This study sets out to investigate direct care staff's views of their need for support, supervision, and training in their practice in day care settings when supporting daily occupations among developmentally disabled persons. BACKGROUND: The first line staff are considered as having a prominent role in the successful delivery of service. METHODS: Three municipalities, one urban and two rura

The soliton solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation provides a good approximation to the shape of a solitary wave solution to the governing equations for water waves. However, the corresponding velocity field below the soliton is not an accurate approximation. We propose an approach that provides us with a better approximation. By describing the particle paths below the free surface, we show th

We document hydrological and phytoplankton characteristics of nine lakes and two ponds on Store Koldewey, a culturally undisturbed island off Northeast Greenland. The limnological survey included the recording of temperature, conductivity, oxygen concentration and saturation, pH, ionic composition, transparency, and the diatom phytoplankton community. In summer 2003, the lakes were cold, monomicti

In order to evaluate the usefulness of early continuous EEG-monitoring in very preterm neonates, recordings with a Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM) were made prospectively in 31 ESLBW infants with birthweights below 901 grams, during their first week of life. The CFM background activity was, as expected from EEG studies, dominated by a suppression-burst pattern in 94% of the infants. Some infants h
