In the equation for thermal energy output from a flat-plate solar collector (written as a function of the collector mean heat carrier temperature), both the gain and the loss terms are multiplied by the collector efficiency factor, F'. For a concentrating collector with an uneven (non-uniform) irradiation on the absorber, the efficiency factor for the gain term, here called the optical efficiency
Rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is used for measurements of temperatures and relative species concentrations. The evaluation of a rotational CARS spectrum is normally performed using a least-squares fitting algorithm to find the best-fit theoretical spectrum in a library of spectra calculated at different temperatures and relative concentrations. A general problem is that
The first modern Swedish checklist of fungus gnats of the families Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae is presented. The checklist results from a comprehensive literature research as well as treatment of a considerable determined and undetermined material from Swedish museum collections and recent material from several sources. To get better grounds for judg

Given the rapidly increasing number of women above 50 it is of pivotal importance to consider health issues related to gonadal hormone deficiency. The possibility of alleviating such symptoms by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be recognized by all physicians, not merely by gynaecologists. But which women should be given what therapy, and for how long? Due to the increased risk of endometr
Artikeln diskuterar möjligheterna och begränsningarna i äldres tillgänglighet till i IT-samhället under senare delen av 1990-talet. Resultatet från en intervjuundersökning (n=186)visar att äldre IT-användare kan kategoriseras i beroende, akriva och avancerade användare och att detta formas av tillgången, förmågan, förväntningarna, självbilden och dagliga restriktioner (sociala kontexten.
Commercial decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) is commonly used as a flame retardant in different electrical and textile applications. It is also used in the production of flame-retarded rubber compound. DecaBDE is the major technical polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in use today and consists mainly of decabromodiphenyl ether(BDE209). PBDEs, including BDE-209, are well-known environmental pollut
Phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) and aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) have been highly purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by improved protocols. Partitioning of the enzymes in aqueous polymer two-phase systems was used to detect complex formation. The partition of each enzyme was found to be affected by the presence of the other enzyme. AMP affected the partition of the individual enzymes as well as th
Background: As the incidence of allergy to different compounds increases in society, the need to understand and characterize specific IgE responses becomes F. obvious. Different cell culture systems have been evaluated for their ability to support such IgE secretion. Methods: One system employed human peripheral lymphocytes (PBL) from normal donors stimulated with anti-CD3 activated T cells with o
We have investigated the formation of supported model membranes via the adsorption of phospholipid-surfactant mixtures at the Si water interface by specular neutron reflection. The adsorption of mixed micelles of the nonionic surfactant beta-D-dodecyl maltoside and DOPC or POPC was determined as a function of bulk concentration, and using d(25)-beta-D-dodecyl maltoside, the composition of DOPC and

Fifty years after the foundation of the Combustion Institute and almost 150 years after Michael Faraday's famous lectures on the combustion of a candle, combustion diagnostics have come a long way from visual inspection of a flame to detailed analysis of a combustion process with a multitude of sophisticated techniques, often using lasers. The extended knowledge on combustion phenomena gained by a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kontrollmekanismerna rörande blodcirkulationen i den mänskliga fetoplacentära enheten är fortfarande inte fullständigt kända, trots genomgripande undersökningar. Det är dock känt att den är viktig för att kunna bibehålla en normal graviditet och för att kunna frambrigna ett friskt nyfött barn. Om kontrollen brister kan utgången försämras i form av tillstånd såsom preeklIn this present study the population of endothelin-like receptors in the human umbilical artery was examined in vitro in different parts of the umbilical cord. Immunohistochemistry revealed ETB receptors in the endothelium and an uneven distribution of ETA receptors in the smooth muscle of the arterial wall, when comparing different parts of the umbilical artery. ET-1 induced vasoconstriction wa
