I denna avhandling behandlas mätning av ventilation, flöden, volymer, luftomsättning samt luftutbytestid och kolvströmningsgrad för olika flödesvägar och strömningssätt i småhus med spårgas. Teori och mät- och beräkningsmetoder utvecklas och tillämpas vid fältmätningar i småhus. Som mätobjekt används allergikeranpassade enplansvillor byggda av LB-hus i Talldalen som är frånluftsventilerade och zon

On the lack of screenwriting tradition in contemporary Swedish cinema.

An analysis of the destruction of Breslau and Königsberg in the Second World War and how they were rebuilt after 1945.

The activity of violaxanthin de-epoxidase has been studied both in isolated thylakoids and after partial purification, as a function of pH and ascorbate concentration. We demonstrate that violaxanthin de-epoxidase has a Km for ascorbate that is strongly dependent on pH, with values of 10, 2.5, 1.0 and 0.3 mM at pH 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 and 4.5, respectively. These values can be expressed as a single Km±0.

OBJECTIVE - The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between serum testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function in men, RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 60 men (mean age 60.5 +/- 1.2 years) had a detailed hormonal and metabolic evaluation. Insulin sensitivity was measured Using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Mitochondrial function was assessed

During kidney development a multitude of tubular portions is formed. Little knowledge is available by which cellbiological mechanism a cluster of embryonic cells is able to generate the threedimensional structure of a tubule. However, this know-how is most important in tissue engineering approaches such as the generation of an artificial kidney module or for the therapy of renal diseases using ste

It has been concluded by geologists that a significant amount of hydrogen is stored as point defects in nominally anhydrous minerals. Determination of the amount of hydrogen bound in these minerals is a step towards determining the total water content of the earth mantle as well as comprehending its internal water cycle. The possibility to measure hydrogen in thin geological samples by elastic p-p

Our approach to predicting spontaneous termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) is based on parameters derived from the time-frequency distribution of the residual ECG signal, resulting from spatiotemporal cancellation of QRST complexes. Each consecutive, logarithmically scaled spectrum of the time-frequency distribution of the residual ECG is modeled as a frequency shifted and amplitude scaled ver

BACKGROUND: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is the most commonly used model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In both CIA and RA there is an increase in the cellular content of the synovium, this being dominated by macrophages. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of etoposide, a topoisomerase II antagonist known to induce monocyte apoptosis, on the development of CIA. METHODS: Mice were primed and booste

Cationic surfactants associate strongly to DNA and compact but are often toxic. The interaction of some novel cationic amino acid-based surfactants, which may enhance transfection and appear to be nontoxic, is described. A cationic arginine-based surfactant, ALA, gives in combination with anionic surfactants spontaneously stable vesicles, and special attention is given to the association of these

Letters and notes that expose collaboration in and between different creative networks and ethical-political theorists, governmental counsellors and personalities from 1886 to 1928 are now more accessible in the Anna Bugge Wicksell collection at the University Library of Lund. Anna Bugge Wicksell had central functions in The Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation, after which she was co-opted

We present a high-resolution ( R= 75 000, S/ N ) spectroscopic analysis of the bright ( V= 11.7), extreme halo giant CS 31082-001([Fe/H] = -2.9), obtained in an ESO-VLT Large Programme dedicated to very metal-poor stars. We find CS 31082-001 to be extremely rich in r-process elements, comparable in this respect only to the similarly metal-poor, but carbon-enriched, giant CS 22892-052. As a result
