Study of three films and TV-series about Winston Spencer Churchill.

The paper discusses the solution to the optimal adaptive control problem over an extended time horizon. This leads to a controller that have dual features, i.e., tt uses control actions as well as probing actions. The solution of the optimal dual control problem is intractable from a computational point of view. Approximations to obtain simpler suboptimal dual controllers are thus important. There

Popular Abstract in Swedish När folk frågat mig vad det är egentligen jag håller på med på labbet, brukar jag lite slarvigt svara att jag jobbar med blod. Jag tänkte här lite närmare gå igenom vad det är jag egentligen gjorde på labbet för Er som undrat. Jag har studerat ett protein i blodkoagulationen som heter faktor V (läs 5). För att man ska förstå varför detta protein är viktigt, måste man noThe homologous blood coagulation factors V (FV) and factor VIII (FVIII) are important at sites of vascular injury for the amplification of the clotting cascade. Activated FV (FVa) serves as a cofactor to the enzyme activated factor X (FXa) in the activation of prothrombin. This complex is called the prothrombinase complex. FVIII functions as a cofactor to the enzyme activated factor IX (FIXa) in t

The thesis presents studies on the processing technology and the characterization of nanometer-sized and low-dimensional structures in III-V semiconductors. Two major approaches are described: 1) the combination of aerosol technology and plasma etching for the fabrication of quantum dots (QDs) in InP-based materials and 2) the use of high-resolution electron beam lithography and plasma or wet che

Popular Abstract in Swedish Benskörhet (osteoporos) är en sjukdom som karaktäriseras av minskad mängd benmassa och försämrad benkvalitet. Benskörhet leder till en ökad risk för frakturer. Förekomsten av benskörhet har fördubblats under de senaste decennierna. Upp till en tiondel av alla män och en fjärdedel av alla kvinnor lider av sjukdomen. Ökningen av benskörhet i samhället kan delvis förklarasThe aim of this thesis was to evaluate long-term changes in bone mass and skeletal structure in the forearm in the peri- and postmenopausal period. 156 premenopausal women, at baseline aged 48 years, not taking medications and without disease processes known to interfere with bone metabolism, were followed through menopause by measurements of bone mass and skeletal structure at the cortical site o

An introduction to the Swedish translation of St. Augustine's De doctrina christiana.

Healthcare systems today are undergoing major restructuring. From the patient’s perspective, expectations focusing on high quality treatments for most common diseases – such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and others – have gone unmet in most countries throughout the world. Today, a number of protein expression and analysis platforms is available, which ca

We examine Lars E O Svensson's prominent critique of the monetary policy of the Sveriges Riksbank (the Swedish central bank) from 1995-2012. Our main objection concerns Svensson's conclusion that the original pre-Friedman/Phelps version of the Phillips curve based on constant inflation expectations has returned for Sweden. Based on estimates of this model, Svensson claims that that the Riksbank's

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemiska ämnen finns överallt i vårat samhälle och behövs för att vi ska kunna leva som vi gör. Produktionen av kemiska ämnen använder kemiska processer som ofta är dyra och förbättringar av driftsätt kan spara mycket pengar. För att förbättra en process krävs att experiment utförs som oftast är väldigt kostsamma och tidskrävande. Ett sätt för att minska antalet experimeChemical processes are usually expensive to run. To optimise a process, we need to know how the process behaves, and this is usually accomplished by studying the process experimentally. However, experiments are very expensive, particularly if an existing plant has to shut down normal operation to conduct an experiment. A better way is to build a model and simulate the process. In order to obtain t
