Hybrid vehicles have attracted tremendous attention during the last years. Increasing environmental concern and a steady increase in fuel prices are key factors for the growing interest. Hybrid vehicles, which benefits from having at least two different energy converters and two different energy storage systems, have proven to have significant potential to improve fuel economy without reducing the

This text deals with living history and an archaeology of the senses within the field of archaeological and historical public presentation and communication. It gives a historical and contemporary perspective on the activities of living history in especially Sweden and Denmark.

Har svensken blivit en sekulärt andlig rituell tekniker? Artikeln presentera några kommersialiserade nyandliga terapiformer som utgör en aspekt av det faktum att religiositeten i Sverige inte minskar, utan i ökad utsträckning utövas i utomkyrkliga sammanhang.

Gaia is an ESA space astrometry mission due for launch in 2011-12. We describe part of the work carried out in the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium, namely the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution (AGIS) currently being implemented at the European Space Astronomy Center (ESAC) in Spain and largely based on algorithms developed at Lund Observatory. Some provisional results based on sim

Abstract in UndeterminedObservations of chemically peculiar (CP) stars have been conducted for decades and have revealed a variety of spectrum anomalies, most prominent among them are line enhancements of heavy elements. The earlier observations were limited to the optical region and the use of less sensitive detectors, yet are responsible for much of our current characterization of the CP star ph

The chapter argues that language, which rests on the sharing of linguistic norms, honest information, and moral norms, evolved through a co-evolutionary process with a pivotal role for intersubjectivity. Mainstream evolutionary models, based only on individual-level and gene-level selection, are argued to be incapable to account for such sharing of care, values and information, thus implying the n

House dusts, collected for detection of microorganisms in buildings, sometimes have to be stored before measurement. It is possible that continued growth of microorganisms in the stored samples will increase the levels of CFU, chemical marker, biomass etc. The aim of this investigation was to assess the influence of relative humidity on microbial growth in dust samples. We have exposed dust sample

The title refers to a subjectivistic theory on which this book is based. The theory presupposes that the psychological essence of a person is represented, not by reified traits, but by continuous series of adaptive pulses or perceptgeneses out of which reality is shaped. Eventually these pulses may acquire a typical p rofile or structure by way of which the person´s quintessence can ba captured. T
