High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient Xe-114(54), populated through the Ni-58(Ni-58,2p) fusion-evaporation reaction at 230 MeV. The Gammasphere gamma-ray spectrometer has been used in conjunction with the Microball charged-particle detector in order to select evaporation residues of interest. The yrast band has been greatly extended to a tentative spin of 52 (h) over bar and show
There has been an increasing interest in a new technique for making emulsions known as membrane emulsification, which uses a microporous membrane operated in cross-flow. The continuous phase is pumped along the membrane and sweeps away dispersed phase droplets forming from pore openings as shown in Fig. 1. The effects ofprocess parameters in membrane emulsification have been studied, especially on
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur kön görs i en av det sociala arbetets praktiker, nämligen missbrukarvården. Socialt arbete kan förstås som en normaliserande praktik som ger uttryck för samhällets normer och värderingar. Dess syfte är att fostra och anpassa människor så att de passar in i samhället. Under senare år har intresset för att synliggöra och hantera könsfråThe aim of this dissertation is to use intersectional analysis to investigate how gender is made in drug abuse treatment and to examine how the formation of gender interplays with the formation of sexuality, class and ethnicity. Central questions are: What gender(s) are to be shaped in druge abuse treatment? What happens to a gender perspective with emancipatory ambitions when it is incorporated i
This thesis analyses the renegotiation of Swedish national identity in newspapers’ coverage of the Olympics of 1912. The “sun-shine Olympics”, as Swedes have come to term the event, idealises early twentieth-century Sweden and early sports events. Researchers have shown that this era was far from idyllic in Sweden: it was characterised by various battles concerning the proper national community. N
A speech data packet loss concealment algorithm based on pitch period repetition is presented and a novel low complexity method to refine a pitch period estimate is introduced. Objective performance measurements show that this pitch refinement improves the quality of packet loss concealment. Hardware-software codesign techniques have been investigated to implement the algorithm. Using a coprocesso
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöktes förekomsten och regleringen av neuropeptiden PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) i det sensoriska nervsystemet hos råtta och mus och hur de normala nivåerna av PACAP ändrades vid olika betingelser som t.ex. nervavskärning och lokal inflammation. Dessutom undersöktes PACAPs roll vid smärta genom att studera om smärtsvThe data presented in this thesis deal with the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in adult sensory neurons. We have used different injury and pain models to determine the involvement of PACAP during such conditions. The role of neurotrophins for PACAP expression was also investigated. PACAP is one of the excitatory neuropeptides expressed in small sized DRG ne
Adaptive antenna systems (AAS’s) are traditionally of interest only in radar and sonar applications. However, since the onset of the explosive growth in demand for wireless communications during the 1990’s, researchers are giving increasing attention to the use of AAS technology to overcome practical challenges in providing the service. The main benefit of the technology lies in its ability to exp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektioner i blodbanan orsakade av Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus bakteriemi) kompliceras ofta av nedslag i leder, skelett, hjärtklaffar eller inre organ. Dessa sekundära infektioner är inte alltid lätta att upptäcka, men de fordrar förlängd antibiotikabehandling och ibland även operativa ingrepp för att läka ut. S. aureus bakteriemi diagnosticeras oftast genom att mThe diagnosis of S. aureus infections is most often based on culture of the organism from various body sites. However, cultures could be false negative due to e.g. previous antibiotic therapy, and in some situations cultures are difficult to obtain. Antibody assays against various S. aureus antigens have been proposed as a way to diagnose S. aureus bacteremia, as well as to distinguish between unc
