A high surface impedance can be achieved in a limited frequency band by using composite structures. Based on the principles of causality, passivity, linearity, and time translational invariance we demonstrate that this bandwidth is bounded by the thickness and magnetic polarizability per unit area of the structure at normal incidence.

Amperometric carbon paste peroxide sensors based on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were developed. In the first approach, HRP was chemically modified with polyethylene glycol to improve the stability of the enzyme in the organic paste matrix and compared with native HRP electrode. In the second approach, HRP was "wired" with a redox polymer containing a covalently bound phenoxazine type mediator, to

In this dissertion in Media History I study the history and development of online journalism in three Swedish local and regional newspapers: Helsingborgs Dagblad, Sydöstran and Ystads Allehanda. The starting point is historical: I have tried to anchor the three newspapers' decision to start their online newspapers in their own history and surrounding society. By following the three newspapers' wor

Essays on Swedish poet and essayist Vilhelm Ekelund (1880-1949), concerning central thematics, realtion to certain other writers, impact and hsitorry of reception

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lysande plast, finns det? Tanken är att att tunn plast-film skall kunna användas som ihoprullbara tunna TV- och datorskärmar, som lysdioder, som mottagare i solceller och som transistorer. Till vardags är förmodligen den vanligaste uppfattningen att plast är ett isolerande material som inte leder ström och som därför heller inte lyser. Faktum är att bara en del av plasTransient absorption laser spectroscopy and resonance Raman spectrscopy have been used to study conjugated polymers and oligomers. To extract more information the measurements have been compared to computer simulations and calculations. In order to obtain a better understanding of the role of conformational disorder in the photophysics of light-emitting, conjugated polymers the ultrafast transient

Compressed sensing (CS) is a universal low-complexity data compression technique for signals that have a sparse representation in some domain. While CS data compression can be done both in the analog- and digital domain, digital implementations are often used on low-power sensor nodes, where an ultra-low-power (ULP) processor carries out the algorithm on Nyquist-rate sampled data. In such systems

Fetal experience forms the basis for postnatal life. This relationship may be obvious in the newborn infant, although it is sometimes not apparent until later in development. One fetal condition with known implications for later life is intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which ranges from being an important factor in perinatal mortality to affecting morbidity in adulthood. The process of grow

The observation in the 1940s, that children to mothers having rubella in the first part of the pregnancy experienced elevated health risks in later life led to a growing interest into whether fetal exposure to other – less severe – diseases could cause health problems as well. Epidemiological studies of the fetal origins of later life health that followed found that, while this indeed was the case
