We describe and test an implicit solvent all-atom potential for simulations of protein folding and aggregation. The potential is developed through studies of structural and thermodynamic properties of 17 peptides with diverse secondary structure. Results obtained using the final form of the potential are presented for all these peptides. The same model, with unchanged parameters, is furthermore ap

The great development of the food industry in the last few years and the increase of the global food trade have highlighted the importance of developing reliable safety assessment and the establishment of strict directives in order to assure its correct performance and the security of consumers. In this sense, the application of nanotechnology has played an important role to carry out very sensiti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetslivet är en av de viktigaste delarna i människors livssituation och ett av de viktigaste incitamenten för välfärden i ett samhälle. Stora förändringar har skett för ungdomar beträffande arbetslivet och inträdet i arbetslivet under de senaste decennierna. Bl.a. de stora förändringarna gör att ny kunskap krävs för att ge möjlighet att stärka ungdomarna i deras inträThe aim was to gain knowledge of experiences of unemployment in young adults with special regard to quality of life (QOL) and to highlight work attitudes and related factors among adolescents. Three studies were performed in Kristianstad municipality, Sweden. In Study 1, a questionnaire was sent in 1998 to 264 unemployed young adults (md=22 years, range 20?25) and to a control group of 528 random

A drawback when hobbing lead crowned helical gears is that the gear tooth will be manufactured with alignment errors, often denoted flank twist. Together with other source deviations, these errors must not exceed the predetermined tolerances if the gear is to be finished hobbed. A simulation model is developed where the hobbing process can be analysed without additional errors resulting from real

Parallel robots are generally said to be more accurate and have a smaller workspace compared to serial robots. With the Gantry-Tau robot, a parallel robot with relatively large workspace was presented. This article examines the end-effector positioning accuracy of the Gantry-Tau robot. End-effector positioning errors arising from joint positioning or modeling errors are studied. A geometric approa

Vibrationally resolved C1s photoelectron spectra of benzene and d(6)-benzene have been recorded using monochromated synchrotron radiation at photon energies of 330 eV. The spectrum of normal benzene displays considerable vibrational structure. Particularly noteworthy is the strong excitation of a combined CCH-bending and CC-stretching mode which splits the main peak into two well-defined maxima. I

We describe a new method for gas flux measurements that is a combination of differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and wind videography. The wind speed was measured by an imaging method that calculates the horizontal displacement of the plume with cross-correlation techniques. High spatial and temporal resolution is achieved with histogram equalization and window-filtering techniques. Simultaneous m

A new two-state polymer folding model is proposed, in which the folding of a stiff helical polymer is enabled by allowing for short sequences of coils connecting shorter and separated helices. The folding is driven by short-range attraction energy among stacked helices and is opposed by the free-energy cost of forming coils from helical monomers. Principal outcomes of the model are equilibrium dis

This report is part of the educational programme of Fire Protection Engineering at the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at Lund University. The following report is a fire safety evaluation of Falkhallen with purpose of evaluating personal safety considering evacuation in case of fire. Falkhallen is an arena which hosts school activities and a variety of events. A number of worst likely f

Parton showers have become a standard component in the description of high-energy collisions. Nowadays most final-state ones are of the dipole character, wherein a pair of partons branches into three, with energy and momentum preserved inside this subsystem. For initial-state showers a dipole picture is also possible and commonly used, but the older global-recoil strategy remains a valid alternati

A new isotope shift program, part of the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) atomic structure package, has been written and tested. The program calculates the isotope shift of an atomic level from MCHF or configuration-interaction (CI) wave functions. The program is specially designed to be used with very large CI expansions, for which angular data cannot be stored on disk. To explore the capac

This work presents an analysis of phase noise in the 1/f(2) region displayed by both single-ended and differential bipolar Colpitts oscillators. Very accurate and rigorous symbolic phase noise expressions are derived, enabling a deeper insight into the major mechanisms of phase noise generation, and providing new tools for design optimization. Phase noise expressions for the cross-coupled differen
