Christianity has markedly patriarchal traits, and by tradition men have played the dominant role in the affairs of all churches. Men ran the churches, and the clergy long remained exclusively male, but at the parochial level women began to dominate more and more. In middle-class, liberal, anti-clerical, and socialist circles, the exercise of religion became identified as a female concern. But was

We demonstrate control of the electron number down to the last electron in tunable few-electron quantum dots defined in catalytically grown InAs nanowires. Using low temperature transport spectroscopy in the Coulomb blockade regime, we propose a method to directly determine the magnitude of the spin-orbit interaction in a two-electron artificial atom with strong spin-orbit coupling. Because of a l

The fire safety of a performance-based design is often evaluated using deterministic analysis. In deterministic analysis, a number of representative fire scenarios, the design fire scenarios, are described and analysed. A quantitative description of the assumed fire characteristics for each fire scenario must then be made. These assumed fire characteristics are referred to as the design fire, i.e.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fylogeografiska analyser omfattar studier av släktskap mellan geografiskt skilda individer och populationer i en art. Målsättningen är att hitta genetiska spår av storskaliga biogeografiska händelser och historiska evolutionära processer. Min avhandling inbegriper fylogeografiska studier av mellansork (Microtus oeconomus), vars utbredningsområde omfattar stora delar av The root vole (Microtus oeconomus) is a rodent with Holarctic distribution. In fact, it is the only Microtus vole found in both Eurasia and North America. Phylogeographic analyses of the root vole from across its distribution range were performed using mitochondrial and Y chromosome DNA sequences. Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene data demonstrate that the root vole is divided into four geographical

An experimental investigation of both confined and unconfined flames on a Triple Annular Research Swirler (TARS) is presented. The paper focuses on post-processing techniques aiming at extracting information on the dynamics that are lost through classical statistics approach. POD together with a derived a-posteriori phase averaging procedure successfully reconstructed the dynamics of flames under

The first results from the Stopped Beam RISING experimental campaign performed at the GSI laboratory in Darmstadt, Germany, are presented. RISING (Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI) constitutes a major new experimental program in European nuclear structure physics research aimed at using relativistic‐energy, projectile‐fragmentation reactions to study nuclei with exotic proton‐to‐neutron ratios.

HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), laser-assisted HCCI and spark plug-assisted HCCI combustion was studied experimentally in a modified single cylinder truck-size Scania D12 engine equipped with a quartz liner and quartz piston crown for optical access. The aim of this study was to find out how and to what extent the spark, generated to influence or even trigger the onset of ignition,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Industriell produktion av bärkonserver innefattar flera enhetsoperationer, vilka alla påverkar sensoriska så väl som näringsmässiga kvaliteter hos produkten. Upptiningen är ett speciellt kritiskt steg eftersom förändringar i både kemisk sammansättning och textur sker. Upptining av jordgubbar i designade lösningar visade att bärens fasthet såväl som viktsförlusterna gickThe industrial production of preserves includes several unit operations which all affects sensorial properties as well as the nutritional value of the final product. Thawing is a crucial unit operation, since then both chemical and physical changes take place. Thawing strawberries in selected aqueous media could gave both firmer strawberries and smaller weight loss than if air was used as the tha
