Minor structural changes on the surface of proteins can have tremendous impact on their biological properties. When producing therapeutic proteins it is therefore important to verify that the generated protein is the desired one. Small variations such as glycosylations or amino acid substitutions can mean the difference between a functional, defective or even toxic product. This thesis describes

It is assumed that pictorial visualization can be used to facilitate communication between industrial professionals when planning working environments and production. This article analyses how managers, supervisors, machine operators, and occupational health and safety officials, accustomed to using both paper drawings and computer animation of both shop floor and workplace view, evaluate these fo

Crime fiction at the service of society – on some perils in the making of a Scandinavian film town During the last decades, regional film funds and tax breaks have altered the geography of European film production. Film and other forms of audiovisual media are increasingly produced in places far from where such activities customarily occurred. Sweden may be among the countries where the tendency

The topology optimization problem is formulated in a phase-field approach. The solution procedure is based on the Allan-Cahn diffusion model. The functional defining the minimization problem includes a gradient term which introduces cost for boundaries and thereby regularizing the problem. To avoid non-physical densities obstacles are introduces. It is shown that the problem can be stated as a var

Batch processes are very common and important in e.g. the chemical industries. The international standard ISA88.01 defines the terminology, the functionality and the models for batch control systems. The production specification of how to produce a batch, is called a recipe. This paper shows how high-Level Grafchart, a Grafcet and High-Level Petri net based programming language can be used to repr

We developed a mobile system for collecting and communicating heart rate data in real-time using low cost, commonly available equipment. This system could be used to monitor patients with cardiac arrhythmia over long periods of time, hopefully increasing the chance of capturing and recording an actual fibrillation, which rarely is the case today. Such recordings are useful for physicians to find t

An objection against religious nonrealism is that it cannot account for the reference to God, since God is seen to be a human construction, and not a metaphysically existing entity. However, as traditional theories of reference are insufficient in explaining everyday language references to so-called non-existing entities, the criticism is not valid.

Signs of Flesh: Institution and Body in Accounts of Paranoia (Notes on Schreber and Fabian) As the call for paper to this conference aptly states, phenomenology holds that "[c]onsciousness [is] dependent on a body and a world, which bestow it with existence and meaning." My take on this phenomenologist axiom would be to suggest a complementary thesis, something like: "The world (understood as the

A 0.18 mum 1.8 V CMOS transmitter for 10/100Mbps Ethernet physical layer standards is described in this paper. The circuit is substantively a current-steering digital-to-analog converter with 5-bit resolution, 125MHz sample rate and 4ns transition time. A novel latch circuit is designed, as well as a structure is provided to realize the accurate rise/fall time control of waveform
