Based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan telescopes we present detailed elemental abundances for 64 red giant stars in the inner and outer Galactic disk. For the inner disk sample (4-7 kpc from the Galactic centre) we find that stars with both thin and thick disk abundance patterns are present while for Galactocentric distances beyond 10 kpc, we only fin

Lumen diameter, distension and intima-media thickness (IMT) in human arteries are important parameters in cardiovascular research. The signal reflected from the arterial wall strongly depends on the ultrasound scanner and settings. The signal also varies with age and health of the subject. A general method insensitive with respect to the subject and the scanner would be of great help. We have deve

Abstract in Danish I et kursus med 12 studerende i 3 tropiske lande og 36 internationale studerende i Danmark arbejdede de studerende virtuelt sammen i grupper med deltagere i både Danmark og i udlandet. De studerende opnåede samme faglige udbytte som ved tidligere kursusgange med studerende kun i Danmark, men lærte mere om projektsamarbejde per distance og forskellige præsentationsformer. Der var

This report studies the interplay between the use of paper and of information and communication technology (ICT). The aim is to explore how these two products/services can be compared from an environmental point of view. Similarities, differences and functions of ICT and paper are analysed in order to address the question: what are the environmental implications from substituting the use of paper

When adapting environments for the physically disabled, it is important to encourage and activate not only the person concerned, but also other people involved or affected. A computer aided planning tool has been developed to support the participation of all persons involved, as well as supporting the planner’s (e.g. an occupational therapist) design of the environment. The prototype development a

In this study we aimed at defining genes that are controlled by Early B-cell Factor (EBF), that could explain the severe block in B-cell development observed in EBF-/- mice. The fact that EBF appears to be important for the transcriptional control of genes encoding proteins in the pre-B and B-cell receptor complex implied to us that EBF could be a common regulator of other components in the pre-B

In this study the feasibility of applying proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) to the trace element analysis of human tooth enamel and dentine is investigated. Detection limits on the order of 1–10 ppm are obtained. Depth yields for different elements and proton energies are discussed. Enhancement calculations show that the effect for PIXE analysis is less important than for X-ray ind

The practice of service encounters in a district court, a home for the elderly, and a hotel Service management research places the service encounter in a central position. It is highlighted as a key event that involves the simultaneous production, consumption, and marketing of the services produced by the operation. However, in this research there is a tendency to discuss the service encounter in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Har alkohol någon skadlig effekt på människoskelettet? Vid Avdelningen för ortopedi på Universitetssjukhuset MAS har vi studerat detta problem och min avhandling är ett försök att besvara frågan. Siffrorna över konsumtionsmönstret för alkohol är osäkra - i Malmö är minst 9% av den manliga befolkningen högkonsumenter. Enligt nyligen publicerade data dricker män mest i åThe influence of alcohol on bone metabolism, fracture and fracture healing was evaluated in men and male rats by measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical markers and biomechanical testings. Retrospectively, 199 male patients hospitalized for tibia shaft fractures were studied. Forty-nine were judged as problem drinkers. Abusers were more prone to sustain oblique fractures. The heal
