A PIV method has been used to determine the internal motion in an oil drop during formation and to validate a numerical simulation of the drop formation process. The PIV system included a microscope attached to the camera, which gave a focal depth of 50 µm and a possibility to measure the velocity in the centre cross section of the drop. Oil was forced through a capillary with a diameter of 200 µm

The monograph consists of an extensive survey of psychological and behavioral genetic research on migraine, reports of three empirical studies in this area and an extensive English summary. Study 1 indicated persons with migraine (n=28) drawn from a neurological clinic to have experienced negative psychosocial events to a significantly greater extent during their development than persons free of m

Under åren 1995-99 beviljades 183 projekt medel ur EU:s sociala fond (mål 3) vid Länsarbetsnämnden i Skåne. Projektet New Deal var ett av dessa. Projektets syfte var trefaldigt; att få långtidsarbetslösa inom kontor och handel att ändra yrkesinriktning, utveckla nya metoder och arbetssätt för att hantera strukturell arbetslöshet samt sprida ny kunskap till den reguljära verksamheten.

Protein biosynthesis is performed on ribosomes. The ribosome is a complex of ribosomal RNA and proteins forming two subunits. A messenger RNA strand is decoded on the small subunit by charged aminoacyl transfer RNA (aa-tRNA) molecules and each tRNA molecule delivers its amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain on the large subunit. RNA performs the central reactions and ribosomal proteins and f

Plant cells carry Ca2+ ATPases to maintain the low resting level of cytosolic Ca2+ (0.1-0.2 µM) found in all eukaryotes. Plant Ca2+ ATPases are mainly located in the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum and in the vacuolar membrane, and consequently large Ca2+ gradients are created across these membranes. The Ca2+ gradients are used by the cell to transmit information in a variety of physiol

Difficulties had been identified with regard to bachelor and master theses. The quality varied too much, as did supervision. The report discusses possible ways of improving the situations,looking at other departments at Lund University, as well as the Copenhagen Business School. The report suggests some measures for improving the process as well as for supporting supervisors.

In the early 1970’s, about 80 ha of rich fen, meadows and wet forest on the margins of the largeand pristine raised bog ‘Komosse’ in Southern Sweden were drained by ditches to promote spruce(Picea abies) growth and forestry production. Draining had a dramatic impact on forest productionon the nutrient-rich peaty soils downhill from the ditches. In 40 years, most of the meadows andfens had turned i
