Popular Abstract in English Human life in general, depends on having access to useable forms of energy for meeting the basic needs such as preparation of food and provision a comfortable place to live. Energy is also necessary for running the societal services for instance, transportation, health care and education. It is important to know what energy resources are available, how much energy is nEnergy is among the main driving forces needed for sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing and balancing supply and demand. This thesis explains an approach to energy planning whic

BACKGROUND: The protective effect of physical activity (PA) on abdominal adiposity is unclear. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether PA independently predicted gains in body weight and abdominal adiposity. DESIGN: In a prospective cohort study [the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)], we followed 84,511 men and 203,987 women for 5.1 y. PA was assessed by a validated quest

Om superhjältar på film som ett svar på ett behov av föredömliga hjältar när samtiden är osäker.

We prove identities involving sums of Legendre and Jacobi polynomials. The identities are related to Greens's function for powers of the invariant Laplacian and to the Minakshisundaram-Pleijel zeta function.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kollektiva substantiv definieras som substantiv som trots att de är singulara till formen betecknar en grupp av individer och som kan uppträda tillsammans med singulara och plurala verb och pronomina ('it'/'they'). Avhandlingen beskriver variation i kongruens vid kollektiva substantiv i amerikansk, brittisk och australiensisk engelska. Denna variation ses i exemplen nedThis thesis concerns agreement with collective nouns in American, British and Australian English. It is based on material from newspaper corpora and spoken corpora. The findings suggest that dialectal, stylistic, diachronic, syntactic and semantic factors interact in the selection of singular and plural agreement. It was shown that there are differences between regional varieties, between speech a

OBJECTIVE: : To report the effects of glucocorticoid treatment of acute vestibular neuronitis on recovery of vestibular function and length of hospital stay. STUDY DESIGN: : Prospective, consecutive case series compared with historic controls. SETTING: : Secondary referral academic hospital. PATIENTS: : Patients with acute vestibular neuronitis. One group treated with glucocorticoids within 3 d

A major problem in clinical lung transplantation is the shortage of donor lungs. Only about 20% of donor lungs are accepted for transplantation. We have recently reported the results of the first six double lung transplantations performed with donor lungs reconditioned ex vivo that had been deemed unsuitable for transplantation by the Scandiatransplant, Eurotransplant, and UK Transplant organizati

Cricopharyngeal dysfunction is a narrowing at the level of the upper oesophageal sphincter caused by failed or incomplete sphincter opening as a result of lack of pharyngoesophageal coordination or reduction in the muscular compliance of the upper oesophageal sphincter. Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a typical symptom. Videomanometry allows direct comparison of pressure readings with dynamic anatomy d

Abstract Purpose: To describe the most prominent use of or perceived unmet need of assistive technology (AT) and to compare the characteristics of users, non-users and those expressing perceived unmet need with respect to overall health, independence in everyday life, environmental barriers and socio-demographic features. Method: The study is based on data collected in the "Home and Health in the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Minns du din första dator? Kanske köpte familjen den på avbetalning genom jobbet för 20 000 kr och kanske kan du såhär i efterhand tycka att effektförbrukningen var lite väl hög i relation till datorns prestanda. Den gick t.ex. inte att köra på batteri. Detta är ganska långt ifrån dagens datorer, smart-TV, smarta telefoner och surfplattor där vi kan streama filmer och mThis thesis explores a novel transistor technology based on vertical InAs nanowires, which could be considered both for low-power high-frequency analog applications and for replacing Si CMOS in the continued scaling of digital electronics. The potential of this device - the vertical InAs nanowire MOSFET – lies in the combination of the outstanding transport properties of InAs and the improved elec
