Primary osteoporosis in children often leads to vertebral fractures, but it remains unknown whether these fractures associate with changes in bone composition. This study aimed to determine the differences in bone composition in fracture‐prone children with and without vertebral fractures, as assessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FTIRI) and bone histomorphometry. Iliac cres

The thesis considers the effects of electron correlation by studying the two opposite limits of atoms in the ground state and atoms in strong laser pulses. Computational methods and theoretical approaches differ significantly due to the different physical processes that are studied in these two cases. The thesis has an introductory chapter with a brief discussion of the problem of describing elec

This chapter describes various kinds of artificial light sources of interest to the photobiologist (natural light is described in separate chapters), starting with incandescent lamps and their properties, and continuing with gas discharge lamps, flashlamps and lasers. After a section on light filters the chapter concludes with a treatment of monochromators, in which the mode of action of a grating

Finger tapping to isochronous pacing stimuli is a well established experimental paradigm first described in the late 19th century. Two variables of common interest in rhythmic tapping tasks are timing variability and constant error. However, a difficulty when estimating these variables is that at interstimulus intervals longer than 2 seconds participants regularly overshoot the target interval and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växternas respirationskedja innehåller protonpumpande enzymer, som konserverar energi i form av en protongradient, samt alternativa icke-protonpumpande enzymer. I det mitokondriella innermembranet finns ett protonpumpande NADH dehydrogenas, komplex I, och alternativa typ II NAD(P)H dehydrogenaser som kan oxidera NADH och NADPH från matrixen eller cytosolen. I ArabidopsiThe respiratory chain of plants contains both proton-pumping enzymes that conserve energy and non-proton-pumping alternative enzymes that bypass the sites of energy conservation. In addition to the proton-pumping complex I, plant mitochondria contain alternative type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, which allow oxidation of NADH and NADPH from the matrix and the cytosol. The seven gene homologues of typ

We present Online Evolution, a novel method for playing turn-based multi-action adversarial games. Such games, which include most strategy games, have extremely high branching factors due to each turn having multiple actions. In Online Evolution, an evolutionary algorithm is used to evolve the combination of atomic actions that make up a single move, with a state evaluation function used for fitne
