Mid-infrared polarization spectroscopy (IRPS) was applied to detect HCl in flames. For the first time, sensitive and nonin trusive HCl detection with a manner of high spatial- and temporal-resolution in harsh reactive gas flow has been demonstrated in this work. In an atmospheric pressure premixed CH4/O-2/Ar flat flame, trace level HCl was prepared by seeding small amount chloroform through the Ar

Essä om datorn som dröm och verklighet med utgångspunkt i Arthur C Clrkes roman År 2001 och Stanley Kubricks filmversion med samma namn.

Temperature limitations of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) in transient single operation and steady-state Hybrid System (HS) operation with Gas Turbines (GT) are presented. For transient SOFC simulations, an unsteady-state SOFC model was developed by upgrading a detailed validated steady-state model. As critical SOFC single operation modes, concerning the risk of material cracking due to exceeding S

Using geopotential height data we find a strong correlation between theelectric field strength E of the solar wind and pressure variations inthe stratosphere and troposphere. The large-scale evolution of E seemsto influence the stratospheric pressure in both hemispheres with theexception of the polar regions. For the tropospheric pressure theinfluence is concentrated to an area in the northern Atl

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att celler ska kunna växa och dela sig behöver de många olika ämnen, till exempel vitaminer, mineraler och polyaminer. Polyaminer finns i alla celler och de krävs för att cellerna ska kunna dela eller specialisera sig. Cellerna kan både själva tillverka polyaminer och ta upp dem från omgivningen. I mänskliga celler finns framför allt de tre polyaminerna putrescin, sOur research group has previously shown that treatment with the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or amidinoindan-1-one 2´-amidinohydrazone (CGP 48664) inhibited S phase progression before any other cell cycle phase was affected. This study was undertaken to further investigate the role of polyamines in the regulation of S phase progression and DNA synthesis. I hav

Skolan är en institution som syftar till att förändra eleverna och deras handlande på en rad olika sätt. Själva meningen med skolans verksamhet är således i realiteten att utöva makt. I denna bok analyseras skolans maktutövning ur fem olika aspekter: — skolans människoförflyttande maktutövning resulterar i att eleverna kommer till skolan vid en viss tidpunkt i sina liv och infinner sig där under

The over-riding aim of this thesis was to obtain a deeper understanding of the way patients with cardiac problems view both information related to their health and medical decisions and their role in decision-making processes. An important objective was to identify reasons why patients do not ask for or assimilate information or why they do not want or feel that they are able to influence medical

This work concerns two-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow and temperature fields inside smooth and ribbed bend (turn) parts of a U-duct with relevance for internal tip cooling of gas turbine blades. The ribs are placed internally on the outermost bend surface. The renormalization group (RNG) k-epsilon turbulence model was used to solve the momentum and energy equations inside the bend (

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studie av Två-Fotons processer vid låg Q2 med hjälp av VSAT kalorimetern i DELPHI experimentet Den här studien är baserad på data som har insamlats med hjälp av LEP (Large Electron-Positron) acceleratorn under dess andra tidsperioden LEP II (1996-2000) då strålenergin uppgick till 103-104 GeV. Under den perioden insamlades vid DELPHI (DEtector with Lepton, Photon and HThe study is based on data collected at the LEP II accelerator during the second period of the Large Electron-Positron collider operations (1996-2000). During that time the DELPHI (DEtector with Lepton, Photon and Hadron Identification) experiment collected about 90 Gb of data on tape corresponding to 687-691 pb-1 of luminosity. The data obtained by the VSAT (Very Small Angle Tagger) electromagne

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla människor blir dagligen utsatta för olika typer av främmande organismer som kan förorsaka kroppen skada. Därför har vi utvecklat celler som har till uppgift att "döda" och avlägsna allt främmande som kommer in i kroppen, det så kallade immunförsvaret. Immunförsvaret består av ett komplicerat nätverk av celler och molekyler som tillsammans skyddar oss om vi utsätts This thesis deals with the interactions between superantigens and their receptors. Superantigens are proteins that are secreted by various bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Superantigens are able to cross-link T cells and antigen presenting cells by binding to the T cell receptor (TCR) and MHC class II. They bind as unprocessed antigens and activate up to 20 % of
