Before a processing unit is taken into production it is prepared with water instead of product, among other things it is sterilized this way. When this preparation phase is done, the water is pushed out with the product that is about to be processed. During this phase a mixed zone of water and product occurs. This mixed zone of water and product results in a cost for the producing company due to l
The aim of this study was to use multi-radionuclide autoradiography to compare the different distributions of three radiolabelled tracers in an atherosclerotic mouse model. This method, along with immunohistochemistry, was applied to investigate the intra-aortic distribution of 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG), (131)I/(125)I labeled anti-oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein (oxLDL), and n
Context: Intermittent androgen deprivation (IAD) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients has been proposed to delay development of castration resistance and to reduce the side effects and costs of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Objective: This review analyzes (1) the oncologic and quality of life (QoL) results from randomized phase 3 trials comparing IAD and continuous ADT and (2) the prognostic pa
This thesis investigates the topic of joint positioning and radio channel estimation and prediction. Both positioning and radio channel estimation have a long history of research with many publications but the combination of the two has so far at large been left unexplored. The reason for studying this topic is twofold: improvement of positioning and improvement of radio channel prediction. Positi
Title Incentives in a Common Agency: An Experiment Author Roy Forsberg Seminar date 2007-01-31 Tutors Dr. Fredrik Andersson and PhD Tommy Andersson Course Master Thesis in Economics – 10 Swedish credits (15 ECTS) Purpose Analyze the make-or-buy decision from a microeconomic perspective by combining modern common agency theory with the theory of incentives and game theory. From this I hope to conve
When birds move around in their natural environment the feathers on the wings are exposed to various factors that reduce their performance, such as UV-radiation, mechanical wearing and bacteria. In time the feathers get worn out and are replaced. This usually happens once a year by a process called moult. Some bird species differs from this pattern and moult twice a year. This behavior may have infl
Metangas bidrar med en signifikant andel till den rådande växthuseffekten på jorden. I nutid är den största källan till utsläpp av metangas våtmarker i jämförelse med andra naturliga utsläppskällor. Emissioner av metangas från våtmarker är beroende av klimatet och har den egenskapen att ge en positiv återkoppling till klimatändringen. Icke desto mindre finns det dock stor osäkerhet associerat med Popular science Global warming is a significant environmental problem now-a-days. Methane is a major greenhouse gas causing global warming by trapping long wave radiations from the Earth. Presently, natural wetlands are responsible for the largest amount of emissions of this gas when compared to other natural sources. Changing climate impacts the emissions from wetlands which in turn further inten
Bakgrund. Varje år drabbas omkring 25 000 personer i Sverige av stroke. Individer som drabbats av stroke får oftast funktionsnedsättningar som orsakar aktivitetsbegränsning i vardagslivet. Syfte. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter och upplevelser strokedrabbade personer har av förändringar i vardagliga aktiviteter.Metod. Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ metod där instrum
Sen ankomst för arbetstagare är ett problem som sällan tvistas om i domstol, och avgörs inte särskilt ofta till arbetsgivarens favör när denne vill säga upp arbetstagare på denna grund. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vad som gäller angående arbetsgivarens uppsägningsrätt i fall av denna typ utifrån diverse rättskällor, och hur frågan hanteras i praktiken av företag och fackliga ombudsmän då det kaLate arrival for work by an employee is an issue that is rarely tested in trial, nor does the employer win cases of this type very often. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the employer’s right to dismiss an employee on this ground. Different sources of law will be used to assess this, coupled with an insight into how the matter is handled in companies and trade union solicitors since thi
During the past year my academic career has been rather different than the years before. In my undergraduate studies of economics & business economics, a mixture of different disciplines like microeconomics, marketing, organizational theory and finance, all I needed to worry about was to make sure I would pass the courses. I found that a rather unsatisfying way of studying; grades didn’t motiv
Vilka mangroverötter vill marina djur helst bo på? Stora delar av världens tropiska kuster är bevuxna av mangrove. Här vadar träden i vattnet och skjuter hela tiden ut nya luftrötter för att ta över ytterligare en bit hav. Inte så många skulle få för sig att snorkla på en sådan här plats. Gör man ändå det möts man, åtminstone i Karibien, av en explosion av färger och liv. Alger och mängder av fasEffect of habitat heterogeneity on marine epibiont assemblages associated with mangrove roots In coastal forests of red mangrove, prop roots extend into the seawater and serve as substrate for assemblages of algae and sessile marine organisms. These assemblages exhibit extreme variability on very small special scales – two neighbouring prop roots might be colonized by completely distinct assembla
Om en EU-medlemsstat utformar en inkomstskatterättslig regel på ett sådant sätt så att den aktuella inkomstskatterättsliga regeln negativt särbehandlar en gränsöverskridande skatterättslig situation i jämförelse med motsvarande rent inhemska förhållanden, föreligger ett skattehinder för den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget. Inkomstskatteflyktsregler som specifikt riktar sig mot gränsöverskIf a Member State in the European Union design an income tax law rule in such a way so that the current income tax law rule leads to a negative difference of treatment in cross-border fiscal situations compared with corresponding purely domestic situations, there is a tax obstacle that hinders the free movement established in the TFEU. Income tax avoidance rules that specifically target cross-bord
Next generation sequencing (NGS) methods have been widely used for diagnosis. As time and cost of sequencing has reduced sharply during the last decade, genome and exome-wide sequencing have increasingly been used. The genome and exome projects produce large amounts of variation data and the clinical relevance of large proportions of them are not known. Among various types of genetic variations, t
An experimental study of the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion process has been conducted by using chemiluminescence imaging. The major intent was to characterize the flame structure and its transient behavior. To achieve this, time resolved images of the naturally emitted light were taken. Emitted light was studied by recording its spectral content and applying different f
Background: Demographic changes combined with costly technological progress put a financial strain on the healthcare sector in the industrialized world. Hence, there is a constant need to develop new cost-effective treatment procedures in order to optimize the use of available resources. As a response, the concept of a Mobile Geriatric Team (MGT) has emerged not only nationally but also internatio
The WORLD6 model is a fully integrated dynamic world systems model. It includes a biophysical global economic model, based on first principles of physics and thermodynamics, forcing it to be fully consistent with the underlying mass- and energy balances. The WORLD6 model first creates value from extraction of natural resources, input of human labour, the efficiency effect of mechanization and auto
Litterfall dynamics in tropical forests are a good indicator of overall tropical forest function, indicative of carbon invested in both photosynthesising tissues and reproductive organs such as flowers and fruits. These dynamics are sensitive to changes in climate, such as drought, but little is known about the long-term responses of tropical forest litterfall dynamics to extended drought stress.
Multiple-pilot injection strategies with both moderate and short time separations (dwells) are investigated in a light-duty diesel engine. Both conventional and optical engine experiments are performed. By implementing triple-pilot injection strategies with short dwells between the individual injections, combustion noise can be significantly reduced. The sound pressure level was reduced by nearly
Bo Cavefors Bokförlag AB (translated into English, this Swedish name would read Bo Cavefors Publishing Co. Ltd., to be abbreviated Cavefors below, when no confusion between the person and the company is likely to exist) was a Swedish publishing company, active between 1959 and 1982. During this period this company published about 620 books in several genres and with varying topical approaches. In
