This paper discusses formation shape control systems with both distance and signed area constraints, which aim to avoid the flipping or reflection ambiguity in a target formation shape. We prove an almost global convergence result for a triangle formation with general shape, by choosing a particular value of the control gain associated with the formation area term. This result extends the recent p

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), an association was found between autonomic dysfunction and frontal hypoperfusion in brain during orthostatic testing. To ascertain whether frontal hypoperfusion is dependent on longitudinal effects of hemodynamic disturbances, or contributes to them, we studied the relationship between the presence of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) i

Molecularly imprinted polymers are highly stable and can be sterilised, making them ideal for use in biotransformation process. In this communication, we describe a novel application of molecularly imprinted polymers in an enzymatic reaction. The enzymatic condensation of Z-L-aspartic acid with L-phenylalanine methyl ester to give Z-L-Asp-L-Phe-OMe (Z- aspartame) was chosen as a model system to ev

Molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared using 2-vinylpyridine and/or methacrylic acid as functional monomers in a self-assembly imprinting protocol. The resulting polymers were analyzed in aqueous media, and the effects from the pH of the mobile phase and the degree of added organic solvent were investigated. The results are indicative of the importance of ionic bonds in conjunction with hydr

Uttered Expectations was a reading event performed 27 June 2013, as part of a PhD project at the Department of Architecture, Lund University. Within the frame of the PhD project a series of research interventions were pursued about the establishing of a large-scale science park in an agrarian area just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. In Uttered Expectations written comments from participants tha

The whole family is affected when a child is ill. Families facing the same illness stressors respond in different ways and have different needs forhealthcare. However, assessing a family’s needs is difficult. Few instruments for assessment of families’ health related quality of life, when achild in the family has a chronic illness, exist. The purpose of this study was to translate The PedsQL™ Fami

EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP) är ett av de viktigaste styrmedlen för svenskt jordbruk, både när det gäller ekonomiska resurser och med avseende på hur stora arealer mark som påverkas. I den nuvarande CAP finns medel avsatta för miljöåtgärder såväl inom pelare 1 genom de så kallade förgröningsåtgärderna, som genom Landsbygdsprogrammet (pelare 2) via miljöstöden. Därmed skulle det kunna fin

Sverige och Kanada lyfts ofta fram som föregångsländernär det gäller mottagning och etablering av flyktingar.Även om ländernas system har många likheter harländerna valt olika vägar i integrationsarbetet.

Översättning av min bok "Assyrierna femtio år i Sverige" (2017)

Följ med nallebjörnen Ted, och hans blomma, på ett äventyr i solsystemet. Tillsammans utforskar vi förhållanden på olika planeter, och upptäcker var bästa förhållandena finns för Ted att plantera sin blomma. Vi besöker Solen, Merkurius, Venus, dvärgplaneten Pluto, Mars Jorden och Månen. Vi flyger även förbi gasjättarna i vårt solsystem: Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus.Detta är en interaktivJoin the teddy bear Ted, and his companion Plant, on an adventure around the Solar System investing different places and how they affect us. Together we can learn about Mercury, Venus, the Earth and its Moon, Mars, the dwarf planet Pluto and the giant planets in the outer Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.This is an interactive show. The children are encouraged to sing along with t

Diffusion MRI yields parameters sensitive to brain tissue microstructure. A structurally important aspect of this microstructure is the myelin wrapping around the axons. This study investigated the forward problem concerning whether water exchange via the spiraling structure of the myelin can meaningfully contribute to the signal in dMRI. Monte Carlo simulations were performed of a system with int

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group in the period 2014-2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state-of-the-art of Higgs physics at the LHC, integrating all new results that have appeared in the last few years. The first part compiles the most up-to-date predictions of Higgs boson production cross sections and decay

Radiological evaluation of incidentally detected lung nodules on computed tomography (CT) influences management. We assessed international radiological variation in 1) pulmonary nodule characterisation; 2) hypothetical guideline-derived management; and 3) radiologists' management recommendations.107 radiologists from 25 countries evaluated 69 CT-detected nodules, recording: 1) first-choice composi

Rhizopus arrhizus lipase immobilized on celite was used to prepare isomerically pure 2-monoglycerides by alcoholysis of triglycerides in organic media. Reaction parameters such as choice of solvent, choice of alcohol, and alcohol concentration were studied. When 12.5 mM tripalmitin was used as substrate, methyl-tert-butyl ether was the best solvent for alcoholysis at water activity 0.11. Ethanol g

α‐Chymotrypsin‐catalyzed acyl tranfer was studied using three acyl‐group donors (Mal‐l‐Ala‐l‐Ala‐l‐PheOMe, Bz‐l‐TyrOEt and Ac‐l‐TrpOEt; Mal, maleyl; Bz, benzoyl; OMe, methyl ester; OEt, ethyl ester) and a series of amino‐acid amides. Most of the reactions studied can be described by the simplest kinetic model without the nucleophile binding to the acyl‐enzyme. The α‐chymotrypsin‐catalyzed transfer
