he LP-norm and other functionals of the kernel estimate of density functions las functions of the bandwidth) are studied as means to test singularity. Given an absolutely continuous distribution function, the LP-norm, and the other studied functionals, will converge under some mild side-constraints as the bandwidth decreases. In the singular case, the functionals will diverge. These properties may

Ordet populism förekommer flitigt i den nordiska politiska retoriken just nu, inte minst i kölvattnet av Sverigedemokraternas och Sannfinländarnas valframgångar. I Norden har populism kommit att bli liktydigt med främlingsfientlighet i kombination med nationalism och konservativ värdepolitik; det har kommit att fungera som etikett på en grupp misshagliga partier som man helst vill slippa befatta s

This thesis addresses the corporate sustainability process and different tools to assist the process of generating corporate strategies towards sustainability in the energy sector. The focus of the research was in backcasting approaches. The main outcome of the work is a framework for corporate sustainability for the energy sector. The framework is constructed around a three step strategic plannin

Sarcomas with chromosomal translocations represent only about one fourth of sarcoma diagnoses. However, like gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), with its characteristic KIT or PDGFRA mutations, they are particularly interesting since they provide specific biological insights and mechanisms of action that may have an impact upon prognosis or therapy. These are mechanisms we are just beginning to

Artikeln är en populärt hållen översikt och sammanfattning av påven Johannes Paulus II:s/Karol Wojtylas filosofi. Han var skolad i och influerad av såväl thomismen som fenomenologin och bidrog med ett eget verk "The Acting Person" i den fenomenologiska traditionen.

Genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance is associated with lower adiposity in adults. Insulin resistance, and therefore adiposity, may alter sensitivity to Growth Hormone (GH). We aimed to determine the relationship between adiposity, genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance or insulin secretion, and response to GH treatment in short children born small for gestational age (SGA).

We report a strong prepulse dependence of the emission of X-rays from plasmas created by 150 fs Ti:sapphire laser pulses on solids. The laser pulses were focused onto plane samples of aluminium and vanadium with a main pulse power density of about 2.5 x 10(16) W cm(-2). By splitting off a portion of the main pulse we were able to generate a prepulse whose delay and intensity were variable relative

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often found in chronic infections, including cystic fibrosis lung infections and those related to chronic wounds and venous ulcers. At the latter sites, P. aeruginosa can be isolated together with Staphylococcus epidermidis, and we have therefore explored the effect of clinical isolates and laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa strains on colonization by S. epiderm
