Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Kroppen har många olika försvarsmekanismer för att skydda sig mot angrepp av olika slag. Bland försvarsmekanismerna i immunförsvaret finns förmågan att bilda antikroppar. Antikroppar, eller immunglobulin, är lösliga protein och består av fyra polypeptidkedjor som hålls samman av svavelbindningar. Dessa kedjor har en variabel ände som ger upphov till molekylensAntibodies are important protein structures in the immunological defence. Occasionally the regulation of the production of these antibodies fails and antibodies directed against self structures are produced in large scale. Antibody production can also complicate or make transfusions and transplantations impossible. Purified protein A from Staphylococcus aureus immobilised to beaded agarose can ads

Beginning in 2002, the Department of Health (DoH) n partnership with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) began publishing guidelines for the evidenced-based care and treatment of individuals with specific psychiatric disorders. With few exceptions the first-line psychological treatment recommended in all of the guidelines was some form of CBT. The publications of these guidelines

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) principle holds promise to increase efficiency and to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines. As HCCI combustion lacks direct ignition timing control and auto-ignition depends on the operating condition, control of auto-ignition is necessary. Since auto-ignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitive to operating conditions, a fast

Investigation of a novel condition monitoring approach, combining artificial neural network (ANN) with a sequential analysis technique, has been reported in this paper. For this purpose operational data from a Siemens SGT600 gas turbine has been employed for the training of an ANN model. This ANN model is subsequently used for the prediction of performance parameters of the gas turbine. Simulated

We focus on improving resilience of cloud services (e.g., e-commerce website), when correlated or cascading failures lead to computing capacity shortage. We study how to extend the classical cloud service architecture composed of a load-balancer and replicas with a recently proposed self-adaptive paradigm called brownout. Such services are able to reduce their capacity requirements by degrading us

This paper explores the evolution of Swedish fiscal policy from one extreme approach to another one in less than four decades. After the demise of the Bretton Woodssystem in the early 1970s, Swedish fiscal policy was based on a Keynesian approach with the goal to stabilize the business cycle and maintain full employment using a large set of instruments in a discretionary manner. In the wake of the

Our purpose in this chapter is to give a brief perspective on islands in global historical-political ecology, focusing on ecologically unequal exchange and the formation of landesque capital. We emphasize how these processes are intertwined and recursively connected in broader contexts of uneven development. Empirical examples draw on our research into the historical-political ecology of islands a

The purpose of this study was to evaluate four different viewing procedures as part of improving viewing conditions of breast tomosynthesis (BT) image volumes. The procedures consisted of free scroll volume browsing, and a combination of initial cine loops at three different frame rates (9, 14 and 25 fps) terminated upon request followed by free scroll volume browsing. Fifty-five normal BT image v

This paper considers evaluation of structural robustness for a multi-span concrete bridge crossing multiple rail tracks, in particular the effect of extraordinary exposures on the bridge system. A case study is performed investigating the bridge system’s response to a train collision caused by derailment in an area near the bridge supports. The probability of such an event occurring is estimated f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Användningen av fossila bränslen såsom kol, olja och naturgas svarar för mer än 70% av dagens globala utsläpp av koldioxid vilket är det största antropogena bidraget till växthuseffekten. Energieffektivisering och en ökad användning av förnybara energislag, t ex bioenergi, är två nyckelstrategier för att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser. Ett ökat utnytttjande av bioenerThe increased use of biomass for energy is as a key strategy in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, which represents the largest anthropogenic contribution to the greenhouse effect. In this thesis, aspects of an increase in the utilisation of biomass in the Swedish energy system are treated. Modern bioenergy systems should be based on high energy and land-use efficiency since biomass resource
