A receiver front-end supporting contiguous and non-contiguous intra-band carrier aggregation scenarios with a fully integrated spectrum sensor that can detect both in-gap and out-of-band blockers has been implemented in 65nm CMOS technology. An NF of 2.5dB is achieved using a noise canceling LNTA, and linearized OTAs are used to achieve an IIP3 improvement of up to 6.5dB in-band and 11dB at the fi
Popular Abstract in Swedish I takt med att resultaten för behandling av cancer hos barn och ungdomar blivit bättre, har kraven på en god livskvalitet efter avslutad behandling ökat. Man beräknar att år 2005 kommer 1/700 unga vuxna mellan 25-35 års ålder att vara långtidsöverlevande efter barncancer. Mer än 2/3 av dem som behandlats kommer att ha någon form av sena biverkningar, och hos hälften av Evaluation of long-term side effects of treatment is important due to the growing number of childhood cancer survivors. How kidney function is affected over time needs to be clarified. In the first article, we investigated 247 healthy infants and children and established upper reference limits for several proteins in urine, to be used as markers for glomerular and tubular proteinuria in children w
Photon echoes have been studied both experimentally and theoretically, with the main part of the work centred around the concept of using photon echoes for all-optical data storage and processing. The four basic Boolean operators, AND, OR, NOT and XOR have been experimentally demonstrated using photon echoes. These constitute a complete set of Boolean operators. Selective erasure of digital data b
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) encodes a complement inhibitor named KSHV complement control protein (KCP). We have previously shown that KCP inhibits the human complement system by disrupting the C3 convertase of complement. KCP can accelerate the decay of the classical C3 convertase and it can act as a cofactor for factor I (R), which then cleaves and inactivates C4b or C3b (in t
This chapter deals with the binding of the books in reconstructing the public library at Linköping after the fire that took place 1996. The book collections in the library were bound in different types of bindings depending on their function, frequency of use, type and year of print. This text describes how the requirements for several types of bindings were worked out and the binding process that
Laser-Rayleigh imaging has been employed to measure the relative fuel concentration in the gaseous jet region of DME sprays. The measurements were performed in an optically accessible diesel truck engine equipped with a common rail injection system. A one-hole nozzle was used to guarantee that the recorded pressure history was associated with the heat release in the imaged spray. To compensate for
Chiral building blocks are needed in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The utilisation of microorganisms and enzymes to perform stereoselective reductions of carbonyl compounds is an efficient and widely applied method for the generation of chiral molecules. The aim of this thesis was to develop and improve yeast-catalysed bioredu
Systematic variational calculations using the multi-configuration Hartree-Fock method for Li are reported. For 1 s 2 2 s 2 S of Li, an nl -expansion is attempted in configuration space, similar to a partial wave expansion for helium-like systems. The total energy, ionization energy, specific mass shift, and hyperfine contact term are calculated with respect to increasing size of the configuration
This paper presents a reduced-order through-flow expander design for the Humid Air Turbine (HAT) also called the Evaporative Gas Turbine (EvGT). The HAT cycle is an innovative gas turbine cycle that uses humid air to enhance efficiency and power output. This means that there will be a higher water vapour content in the exhaust gases than for a simple cycle. This high water content affects the desi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Insulin är ett hormon som utsöndras från bukspottkörteln när koncentrationen av näringsämnen stiger i blodet. Insulinet transporteras via blodbanan till sina målvävnader; levern, skelettmusklerna och fettväven. Där binder det till insulinreceptorer på cellernas yta och insulinet medierar på så vis en rad olika effekter. Främst stimulerType 2 Diabetes is a disorder that increases globally, but mainly in the western world. One of the hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance in the target tissues of insulin action (adipose tissue, liver and skeletal muscle). In addition, most patients with Type 2 diabetes are obese. Increased release of free fatty acids from the enlarged and/or dysfunctional adipose tissue is suggested t
The use of fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy in the analysis of cervical histopathology is a growing field of research. The majority of this research is performed with point-like probes. Typically, clinicians select probe sites visually, collecting a handful of spectral samples. An exception to this methodology is the Hyperspectral Diagnostic Imaging (HSDI®) instrument developed by Science
Let v be a vertex with n edges incident to it, such that the n edges partition an infinitesimally small circle C around v into convex pieces. The minimum local convex partition (MLCP) problem asks for two or three out of the n edges that still partition C into convex pieces and that are of minimum total length. We present an optimal algorithm solving the problem in linear time if the edges inciden
In this report we present a study on the reliability and validity of the Revised Class Play scale in which children living in Sweden have participated. The scale measure a variety of aspects of social competence, such as leadership, aggressiveness and sensitivity. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not the Revised Class Play scale (Masten, Morison & Pellegrini, 1985) is
