Popular Abstract in Swedish Allergisk rinit är en immunförmedlad sjukdom som huvudsakligen drabbar nässlemhinnan. Vid kontakt med allergen, t.ex. pollen, uppkommer typiska symptom såsom klåda, nysningar, rinnsnuva och nästäppa. Immunförsvaret brukar traditionellt indelas i två samverkande delar, den medfödda och den förvärvade delen. Den medfödda delen aktiveras snabbt vid en första kontakt med miAllergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disorder with the characteristic symptoms itching, sneezing, secretion and blockage upon allergen contact. In addition to the local inflammation in the nose, there is a systemic component that influences peripheral blood, bone marrow and lungs. The immune system is conventionally divided into innate and acquired (adaptive) immunity. The former is important in

The main object of materials science and technology is relationships between structure and properties. The practical use of engineering materials also involves consideration of things other than current theories for such relationships. Uncertainties of various kinds prompt reflections on the validity and applications of common practice based on experience. Among other things, this is true for deci

Initial results from the XUV undulator beamline at the 4.5 GeV storage ring DORIS are reported. The beamline consists of three different undulators mounted on a revolver type device and a modified SX-700 plane grating monochromator with a spherical focusing mirror. It covers the spectral range from 50–2000 eV with excellent spectral resolution and high photon flux. In the energy range 400 eV to 1

The novel cytotoxic hexacyclic illudane-illudalane bis-sesquiterpene bovistol (la) was obtained from the basidiomycete Bovista sp. 96042, together with several new sesquiterpenes. la is formed in the fungus by a heteroatom Diels-Alder dimerisation of psathyrellon B (2).

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar två ämnen inom trådlös kommunikation: interferens mellan frekvenshoppande (FH) nätverk och fleranvändardiversitet. I arbetet på FH nätverk undersöks ett system där frekvenshopp används för att möjliggöra samtidig tillgång till kanalen för multipla okoordinerade nätverk. Detta åstadkoms genom att frekvenshoppen sker varje gång ett ny paket skaThis thesis deals with two topics in wireless communications: interference between frequency-hopping (FH) networks, and multiuser diversity. The work on FH treats a system where FH is used to provide simultaneous access to the channel for multiple uncoordinated wireless networks. This is achieved by performing frequency hops on a packet-by-packet basis, and letting the sequence of hopping frequen

The mobile phone is one of the most widespread devices with rendering capabilities. Those capabilities have been very limited because the resources on such devices are extremely scarce; small amounts of memory, little bandwidth, little chip area dedicated for special purposes, and limited power consumption. The small display resolutions present a further challenge; the angle subtended by a pixel i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under kvartärtiden (de senaste 2,6 miljoner åren) har istider (glacialer) och mellanistider (interglacialer) avlös varandra. Mellanistider är perioder (ca 10 000 år) mellan istider (ca 100 000 år), vilket innebär att istid varit det normala under kvartärtiden och att Holocene, den istid vi nu lever i, endast representerar ett kortare intervall. Under istiderna täckte inThe aim of this thesis was to reconstruct the glaciodynamics, deglacial landforms, isostatic uplift and to date the deglaciation. Glaciodynamics and deglacial landforms were focused on to provide a process and depositional model for De Geer moraine and Niemisel moraine and to reveal their internal and spatial relationship, based on detailed sedimentological and structural investigations. The isost

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledningen syftar till att ge en översikt över Swedenborgs levnadslopp och ge en viss orientering i litteraturen kring honom. Det visar sig att det saknas en grundlig idéhistorisk studie över hans tidiga mekanistiska naturfilosofi. Föreliggande bok kan sägas vara en kognitiv idéhistoria som har siktet inställt på hur han tänkte. I arbetet med Swedenborgs naturfilosofi The Swedish natural philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) thought in his early scientific career that the world was like a gigantic machine, following the laws of mechanics and geometry. The work presented here is a study of his mechanistic worldview and metaphorical way of thinking up to the year 1734, examining most of his fields of interest, from geometry and metaphysics to technology and

A new explicit WET model for the turbulent heat fluxes is derived and developed from the transport equation of the scalar passive flux. In order to study the performance of the model itself, all other turbulent quantities are taken from a DNS channel flow data-base and thus the error source has been minimized. This anisotropic eddy diffusivity model can be solved with a two-equation model for the

From the existing full set of international policy instruments on forests, eight core components are identified and submitted to two differing assessments. The first (consistency assessment) uses a policy design approach to match the core components with their goals, policy tools, target group preferences and justifications for the choice of goals and policy tools. The second (compatibility assess
