A combination of x-ray absorption and resonant photoemission (RPE) spectroscopy has been used to study the electronic structure of the one-dimensional conjugated polymer poly (para-phenylenevinylene) in nonordered (as prepared) thin films. The dispersion of RPE features for the decay to localized and delocalized bands are qualitatively different. A theory for band dispersion of RPE in polymers is

This study describes the integrated sympathetic/metabolic control of capillary pressure (Pc) and filtration in cat skeletal muscle as studied during graded exercise and superimposed graded (2, 6 and 16 Hz) vasoconstrictor nerve excitation. The applied technique permitted simultaneous analysis of the underlying changes of resistance in the whole vascular bed (RT) and in its large-bore arterial resi

Ground handling work performance is an important part of the civil aviation flight cycle. Well-functioning safety management for minimizing the risk for accidents is vital and dependent on the safety culture. This article reports on a safety culture assessment of a ground handling company using a multiplex approach method. The study is included in the establishment of reference data concerning saf

Egypt has one of the world's highest prevalences of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with a majority of genotype 4 infections. To explore the genetic diversity of HCV in Egypt, sera from 131 Egyptians [56 from community studies, 37 chronic hepatitis patients, 28 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and 10 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma] were genotyped by restriction fragment-length poly

SAMMANFATTNING Rapporten är en översiktlig behandling av praktiska frågeställningar och problem i samband med putsade fasader. Olika fasadbehandlingar beskrivs med avseende på ingående material, egenskaper och användningsområden. I huvudsak behandlas oorganiska tjockputser, oorganiska och organiska ytskikt samt impregneringar. De vanligaste tekniska problemområdena i samband med putser och ytskikt

A case-control study compared 129 men with earlier partial gastrectomy (operation during the period 1952-1961) with 216 men from a community-based population study. All were born 1910-1915 and the mean age was 72 years. Men with a previous partial gastrectomy had vertebral fractures in 19% compared with 4% (P < 0.01) in the control population. Bone mineral density (BMD) in the right calcaneus meas

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att studera eventuella skillnader vad gäller förlåtelse beroende av attachmentmönster. Deltagare i studien (N = 359) var gymnasieelever från Malmö. De instrument som användes var Brennan, Clark and Shaver's Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) och Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI). Resultatet visade att ECR:s avoidance dimension var negThe purpose of this dissertation was to study potential differences in forgiveness depending on attachment-styles. The sample (N = 359) consisted of upper secondary school students from Sweden. The instruments that were used after translation and standardization were: Brennan, Clark and Shaver's Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) and Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI). The results showed th

Starting from the assumption that travelling has negative consequences for the ecological environment, this study deals with travel behaviour in Malmö. The study focuses on how households with different demographic and socio-economic characteristics and transport needs, confronted with different restrictions and possibilities in the surrounding structures, choose to travel in their everyday life.

Condensation of 1-cyanomethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium perchlorate with ortho-hydroxy-substituted aromatic aldehydes afforded 1-cyanomethylindoline spiropyrans. The latter underwent rearrangement to bridged 1,3-benzoxazepino[3,2-a]indoles on treatment with a base. The mechanism of the rearrangement includes generation of a carbanion stabilized by a cyano Group.

Low-dimensional semiconductors offer interesting physical phenomena but also the possibility to realize novel types of devices based on, for instance, ID structures. By using traditional top-down fabrication methods the performance of devices is often limited by the quality of the processed device structures. In many cases damage makes ultra-small devices unusable. In this work we present a recent

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. This study investigated the ability of NTHi to bind lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) derived from respiratory epithelial cells and the subsequent stimulation of transfected cells expressing membrane-bound CD14 and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) or TLR4. In the absence of LBP, NTHi at high concentratio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är resultatet av mitt doktorandarbete vid Kvartärgeologiska avdelningen, Geologiska institutionen, Lunds universitet. Avhandlingen baseras på resultaten av fältarbeten i ett antal lokaler i ett område väster om sjön Bolmen i sydvästra Sverige. Introduktion och bakgrund Weichselistidens recession från södra Sverige har diskuterats av olika geologer undeThe Late Weichselian deglaciation of an area in southwestern Sweden was reconstructed by geomorphological, sedimentological and lithostratigraphical methods. The morainic deposits were mapped and classified into three landsystems: Streamlined terrain, hummocky moraine and cover moraine. Streamlined terrain was assumed to have been formed subglacially by a wet-based ice sheet. Cover moraine was int
