Atmosfäriska partiklar (aerosoler) finns överallt i jordens atmosfär. Masskoncentrationen av dessa varierar kraftigt beroende på i vilken miljö man mäter. I stadsluft kan man uppmäta tiotals mikrogram per kubikmeter medan man i arktiska områden uppmäter nanogram per kubikmeter. De kolhaltiga aerosolerna är kända för att påverka människors och djurs hälsa negativt, framförallt påverkar dessa kroppe

Quality of supply regulations are today in use in a large number of countries. While these regu-lations are likely to decrease the direct economical consequences from power outages it is less clear to what extent they take into account the societal criticality of consumers. In order to advance knowledge in this area, two different ways of estimating consequences of power outages are here contraste

The steps involved in the grafting of mesencephalic and septal embryonic tissue in the form of dissociated cell suspensions are described in detail. This includes dissection of the donor embryos, incubation in trypsin, mechanical dissociation, and stereotaxic injection into the brains of adult recipient rats. Some of the technical problems and limitations are discussed.

This thesis confronts a fundamental shortcoming in cognitive science research: a failure to be explicit about the theory of concepts underlying cognitive science research and a resulting failure to justify that theory philosophically or otherwise. It demonstrates how most contemporary debates over theories of concepts divide over whether concepts are best understood as (mental) representations or

Collaboration involving student–industry activities entails a complex interaction between university, students, and industry. The university–student–industry triangle identified here is neither static nor balanced, and each of the three intertwined relationships displays distinguishing characteristics. Each has its own structure; the activity phases of the relationships are not synchronous, and ea

We address the impact of a too short cyclic prefix on multicarrier systems such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and discrete multitone (DMT). The main result is that the intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) may be spectrally concentrated and analytical expressions showing this are given. A practical implication is, e.g., that the cyclic prefix in

The aim of the study was to investigate the role of clinical experience in the acquisition of professional competence during education and training in nursing. Competence is given a relational interpretation. The acquisition of professional competence is considered in terms both of the subject area involved and of cultural and organizational aspects specific to the nursing profession and to nursin

We illustrate the potential of Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) for describing the nonequilibrium behavior of strongly correlated (lattice) models. Starting from an exact time-evolution of the many-body wavefunction, we determine, via reverse engineering, the exact exchange correlation (xc) potential $v_{xc}$ for small Hubbard chains of different lengths and electron fillings and e
