Studien utgör underlag till en konstruktionslära för fogar i fönster. I rapporten pekas på problem med att upprätthålla fuktbalans i fönsterträ då fukt kapillärt sugs in via konstruktionens diskontinuiteter. Inledande försök beskrivs liksom förslag till åtgärder i befintliga fönster.
Glacifluvial deposits along an ice-marginal zone,in Smaland, southern Sweden, have been dated using post-IR blue OSL. To test for incomplete bleaching, we adopted two strategies: analysis of modern analogues and small-aliquot dose distributions. Samples of modern fluvial sediments show no significant incomplete bleaching; they yield equivalent doses of only 0.5-2 Gy (similar to 0.25-4% of our glac
In this Letter we describe a new method to combine the methods of matrix inversion and order-of-scattering to solve the light scattering of aggregates of arbitrary spheres by extending Mie theory, which is more expedient for calculations of the local field in both outside and inside of the spheres.

The aim of this study was to compare the rate of phosphorus release from fish with estimates of external and internal load in the eutrophic Finjasjon, Sweden. Phosphorus release from roach and bream, when fed either benthic (Chironomidae) or pelagic (Daphnia) prey, was measured in laboratory tanks. These results were transformed to whole lake conditions by using calculated fish consumption rates o
We describe realizations of the colour analogue of the Heisenberg Lie algebra by power series in non-commuting indeterminates satisfying Heisenberg's canonical commutation relations of quantum mechanics. The obtained formulas are used to construct new operator representations of the colour Heisenberg Lie algebra. These representations are shown to be closely connected with some combinatorial ident
Behovet av klimatreglering har ökat kraftigt sedan 1960-talet. Ett av skälen till detta är den ändrade byggtekníken, som innebär lättare konstruktioner med större inre värmebelastning från belysning, maskiner, personer och solinstrålning genom stora fönsterytor. De ökade värmebelastningarna kan klaras av med ett flertal olika klimatsystem. Dessa system kräver någon form av reglering. Under 1970-taResults from a research project supported by the Swedish Council for Building Research are reported. The main task was to improve climate control technology. The work was focused on digital control. It was split up into three main tasks: model building, design of regulators, and fullscale experiments. Several rooms, airducts, and heat exchangers were modelled. Simple dynamic models have been deriv
Objective-Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is life-threatening because of its haemodynamic and metabolic effects. The purpose was to examine if VF also has primary effects per se. We therefore investigated the early effects of VF on myocardial blood flow, metabolic characteristics and catecholamine concentrations in patients undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis. Design-The immediate effects of up t
The aim of this study was to describe some of the factors that might play a role in influencing attitude to xenotransplantation: first, the consideration of receiving cells and tissue from xenotransplants in relation to whole xeno-organs; secondly, the fact that there is greater uncertainty regarding the result and risk of infection associated with xenotransplantation than with allotransplantation
Culture has, during the last two decades or so, come to influence historical research in such a way that it is no understatement to speak of "the cultural turn", a change in paradigm fully comparable to "the social turn" in the 1960s. Cultural history, as a concept, has changed over time, from a classic cultural history in the first part of the twentieth century, where culture is seen as "the grea
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar vardagslivets resor i staden. Utgångspunkten är de negativa konsekvenser som resor, framför allt med bil, har för miljön. Bilismen är ett fenomen som dominerar stora delar av samhället och istället för att minska i omfattning tycks den själv driva fram ett ökat bilberoende genom att avstånden och kraven på snabba transporter ökar. I slutändan handUrban areas are geographically dispersed. There are built-in distances between housing, jobs and services. These distances call for mobility and fast means of conveyance. Society is dominated by and dependent on motoring. Cars have a negative impact on the environment and prognoses indicate an increase in the amount of travelling. The aim of this dissertation is to explain why travel behaviour wit
Square-shaped silicon or titanium implants with plane or porous surfaces surrounded by a rim of silicone were implanted in the rat abdominal wall for evaluation of the tissue response after one, six, or 12 weeks. Cell damage was identified as increased membrane permeability using fluorescence microscopy by injection of propidium iodide prior to the killing of the rats. Capsule thickness and immuno
This doctoral thesis consists of six studies concerning persons with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The first two deal with relationships between life events, social support and metabolic control (HbA1C) over a two year period. For the female subjects, results obtained for this period were inconsistent. For the male group, negative life events and poor social support were found to be
Most works published on iterative CDMA receivers assume perfect channel knowledge or very simple channel models like the flat-fading channel. We want to extend the scope to multipath propagation scenarios and suggest an iterative scheme with channel estimation in the uplink of a chip-synchronous CDMA system. Channel estimates rely on pilot symbols and a posteriori probabilities on code bits of a S
We evaluated the influence of the brown rot fungus Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca on P solubility in the humus layer of a podzolic forest soil. This fungus is known to exude large amounts of oxalic acid that may stimulate weathering of minerals and increase dissolution of humus, which in turn may increase P availability in the soil surrounding the fungus. Humus was inoculated using small wooden pieces
Background: Body weight and body mass index (BMI) are positively related to risk of colon cancer in men, whereas weak or no associations exist in women. This discrepancy may be related to differences in fat distribution between sexes or to the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women. Methods: We used multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association betwee
This study was performed to evaluate if microarray technology can identify genes using their transcriptionally defective mutant alleles. Three barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutant strains, xantha-h57, xantha-f27 and xantha-g28, with mutations in the genes encoding the three subunits of the chlorophyll biosynthetic enzyme magnesium chelatase, were used in a reconstruction experiment. The mutation xan
Introduction: The study tested whether four commonly used patient-rated outcomes are explained by only one factor, reflecting a general appraisal tendency of patients. Method: Quality of life, needs and symptoms were rated by 92 patients in community mental health care at baseline and after 18 months and 6 years follow-up periods. At follow ups treatment satisfaction was also assessed. Scores and
