A fully mobile remote-sensing system based on the lidar principle is described. With this system, atmospheric probing using Mie scattering, differential absorption, or Raman techniques can be performed yielding information on atmospheric pollutants or general atmospheric parameters. The system incorporates a powerful Nd:YAG laser pumping a dye laser and is equipped with a fixed Newtonian telescope

The long poem Skördarne (The HArvest) by johan Gabriel Oxenstierna (1750-1818) was an attempt to do for the Swedish what Virgil had don for the Roman Countryside in his Georgics. However, "georgic poetry" was seldom recognised as a distinct genre by the classical system of poetics, and its relation to neighbouring genres were often unclear. The present study seeks to place Oxenstierna's poem in th

Vi lärare på Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen vid Lunds universitet har länge saknat ett arbetsmaterial när vi undervisat i hur man utför epikanalyser. Det har visat sig att Claes-Göran Holmbergs och Anders Ohlssons Epikanalys. En introduktion har fungerat utmärkt som lärobok och på ett enkelt sätt utrett de många teorier och metoder som kan utnyttjas i en analys. Men våra erfarenheter av epi

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial plastic materials that mimic antibodies or enzymes. Like natural antibodies or enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers can selectively bind target molecules or can promote catalytic reactions. In contrast to these natural entities, they are robust materials that resist heat, harsh chemicals and the presence of organic solvents. The starting mate

Canonical bases, also called SAGBI bases, for subalgebras of the non-commutative polynomial ring are investigated. The process of subalgebra reduction is defined. Methods, including generalizations of the standard Gröbner bases techniques, are developed for the test whether bases are canonical, and for the completion procedure of constructing canonical bases. The special case of homogeneous subalg

Popular Abstract in Swedish Paternalism i allmänläkarens vardag - om läkarens makt och patientens rätt till självbestämmande. I mitt vardagliga arbete som allmänläkare möter jag patienter med olika symtom och sjukdomar. Hur bör allmänläkaren förhålla sig till en patient som ställer krav på en åtgärd – en speciell undersökning, ett recept på en viss medicin eller ett intyg – som läkaren inte finneThe overall aim of this thesis was to identify and analyse situations raising the question of possible paternalism in everyday general practice in Sweden. Both questionnaires to a random sample of respondents and interviews have been used. The ethical awareness among GPs in Sweden and the variety of ethical issues, suggest that medical ethics is a subject of high relevance in general practice. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvecklandet av helt nya baspolymerer för tillverkning av massprodukter förväntas i framtiden vara begränsad p.g.a. för höga investeringskostnader. En av de mest tydliga trenderna inom polymerindustrin idag är istället den ökande betydelsen av polymerblandningar. Kombinationer av två eller flera polymerer som bildar fasseparerade strukturer i blandning ger ofta materialOne of the main trends in the polymer industry today is the increasing importance of polymer blends. Combining two or more immiscible polymers in a polymer blend often leads to multi-phase materials with desirable properties. The typical poor morphological stability and low interfacial adhesion in these blends can be eliminated by adding compatibilizing graft copolymers. Well-defined graft copoly
