Biomass gasification is one of the alternatives to producing liquid fuels and chemicals from biomass residues. The gas produced in gasification contains CO, H2, H2O, CO2, light hydrocarbons and tars. Depending on the gasifier type, operating conditions and fuel, the light hydrocarbons can contain as much as 50 % of the total energy contents in the gas. The gas also contains catalyst poisons such a

This paper describes a system to define and evaluate development stages in second language French. The identification of such stages can be formulated as determining the frequency of some lexical and grammatical features in the learners’ production and how they vary over time. The problems in this procedure are threefold: identify the relevant features, decide on cutoff points for the stages, and

A differential LNA using capacitive shunt feedback is demonstrated in 65nm CMOS. The capacitive shunt feedback structure gives a wideband input matching, S11 ;44dBm for high band.

Part I of the dissertation examines the cognitive aspects of autonomy. The central question concerns what kind of cognitive capacity autonomy is. It will be argued that the concept of autonomy is best understood in terms of a metacognitive capacity of the individual. It is argued that metacognition has two components: procedural reflexivity and metarepresentation. Metarepresentation in turn can be

Pedagogisk retorik är ett kunskapsområde där didaktik och retorik förenas. Dagens professionella lärare måste självklart vara ämneskunniga, men det räcker inte. De behöver också ha insikt i hur man väcker intresse för det aktuella ämnet och ökar förståelsen hos de studerande. Med hjälp av rösten, uttryckssättet och yrkesidentiteten framträder läraren som mer eller mindre trovärdig och ämnet som me

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den forskning som presenteras här bygger på studier av ett antal beståndsdelar i bindväv vars funktioner är i stort sett helt okända. Bindväv finns i många strukturer i människokroppen; brosk, senor, skelett, blodkärlens väggar, hud, stödjevävnad runt olika organ etc. Karakteristiskt för bindväv är att cellerna sitter glest, omgivna av ett heterogent material som kallasThe extracellular matrix plays an integral role in tissue remodeling and development and it defines the different mechanical properties of a variety of connective tissues. Its complexity in composition and the details in organization has only been partly elucidated. This thesis focuses on collagen VI and the mutual interactions of a number of matrix proteins that lie within close proximity. Collag

This volume is the first to examine the phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics of Finnic and Saami languages within current generative linguistic frameworks. Collected here is research on these less-studied languages, some of which face extinction.

David Galloway, former president of the IAL, became 65 in May 2007. On this occasion 55 colleagues and friends contributed a Festschrift with 36 papers. The editors took the chance to invite papers in two major fields of interest of the jubilee; the history of lichenology and southern hemisphere and tropical lichenology. The historical part of the volume comprises 7 papers on 118 pages including A

This is a mapping of my upcoming project on the field of short culture phenomena. One part of that will deal with the music videos of Lady Gaga. In this book chapter I present som basic information on Lady Gaga, and suggestions on how to approach the artist and her artistic/aesthetic expressions. Scenes, stage performance, media, and the different relation to the fans is put into focus, and I mean

This study investigates the determinants of R&D expenditures in the Swedish pharmaceutical industry from the 1960s to the mid 1990s. Various proxies for the rate of return of R&D (e.g. expected profit, sales and R&D productivity) as well as the availability of internal funding (proxied by past cash flows) have been used as explanatory variables in time series regressions. Past cash flo
