Photon echoes have been studied both experimentally and theoretically, with the main part of the work centred around the concept of using photon echoes for all-optical data storage and processing. The four basic Boolean operators, AND, OR, NOT and XOR have been experimentally demonstrated using photon echoes. These constitute a complete set of Boolean operators. Selective erasure of digital data b
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) encodes a complement inhibitor named KSHV complement control protein (KCP). We have previously shown that KCP inhibits the human complement system by disrupting the C3 convertase of complement. KCP can accelerate the decay of the classical C3 convertase and it can act as a cofactor for factor I (R), which then cleaves and inactivates C4b or C3b (in t
This chapter deals with the binding of the books in reconstructing the public library at Linköping after the fire that took place 1996. The book collections in the library were bound in different types of bindings depending on their function, frequency of use, type and year of print. This text describes how the requirements for several types of bindings were worked out and the binding process that
Laser-Rayleigh imaging has been employed to measure the relative fuel concentration in the gaseous jet region of DME sprays. The measurements were performed in an optically accessible diesel truck engine equipped with a common rail injection system. A one-hole nozzle was used to guarantee that the recorded pressure history was associated with the heat release in the imaged spray. To compensate for
Chiral building blocks are needed in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The utilisation of microorganisms and enzymes to perform stereoselective reductions of carbonyl compounds is an efficient and widely applied method for the generation of chiral molecules. The aim of this thesis was to develop and improve yeast-catalysed bioredu
Systematic variational calculations using the multi-configuration Hartree-Fock method for Li are reported. For 1 s 2 2 s 2 S of Li, an nl -expansion is attempted in configuration space, similar to a partial wave expansion for helium-like systems. The total energy, ionization energy, specific mass shift, and hyperfine contact term are calculated with respect to increasing size of the configuration
This paper presents a reduced-order through-flow expander design for the Humid Air Turbine (HAT) also called the Evaporative Gas Turbine (EvGT). The HAT cycle is an innovative gas turbine cycle that uses humid air to enhance efficiency and power output. This means that there will be a higher water vapour content in the exhaust gases than for a simple cycle. This high water content affects the desi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Insulin är ett hormon som utsöndras från bukspottkörteln när koncentrationen av näringsämnen stiger i blodet. Insulinet transporteras via blodbanan till sina målvävnader; levern, skelettmusklerna och fettväven. Där binder det till insulinreceptorer på cellernas yta och insulinet medierar på så vis en rad olika effekter. Främst stimulerType 2 Diabetes is a disorder that increases globally, but mainly in the western world. One of the hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance in the target tissues of insulin action (adipose tissue, liver and skeletal muscle). In addition, most patients with Type 2 diabetes are obese. Increased release of free fatty acids from the enlarged and/or dysfunctional adipose tissue is suggested t
The use of fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy in the analysis of cervical histopathology is a growing field of research. The majority of this research is performed with point-like probes. Typically, clinicians select probe sites visually, collecting a handful of spectral samples. An exception to this methodology is the Hyperspectral Diagnostic Imaging (HSDI®) instrument developed by Science
Let v be a vertex with n edges incident to it, such that the n edges partition an infinitesimally small circle C around v into convex pieces. The minimum local convex partition (MLCP) problem asks for two or three out of the n edges that still partition C into convex pieces and that are of minimum total length. We present an optimal algorithm solving the problem in linear time if the edges inciden
In this report we present a study on the reliability and validity of the Revised Class Play scale in which children living in Sweden have participated. The scale measure a variety of aspects of social competence, such as leadership, aggressiveness and sensitivity. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not the Revised Class Play scale (Masten, Morison & Pellegrini, 1985) is
Handledning är en praktik som under senare år kommit till användning inom en lång rad olika fält, allt ifrån utbildning inom skola, universitet och arbetsliv, professionell utveckling, organisations- och ledarutveckling till kultur- och fritidsverksamheter. Handledning - perspektiv och erfarenheter fokuserar på den bredd som finns inom ämnet, där varje fält hämtar idéer och arbetssätt från variera
