The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) combines the use of new imaging technologies, large-scale proteomics/metabolomics/genomics, and epidemiological analyses to extensively characterize a Swedish cohort of 30,000 men and women aged between 50 and 64 years. Its main aims are to improve risk prediction and to optimize our ability to study mechanisms of cardiopulmonary diseases. SCAPIS
Disease predisposing germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes may consist of large genomic rearrangements, including deletions or duplications that are challenging, to detect and characterize using standard PCR-based mutation screening methods. Such rearrangements range from single exons up to hundreds of kilobases of sequence in size. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH)
The total core loss in a claw-pole structure has been calculated on the basis of the variation of the magnetic loading over the magnetization cycle in different parts of the machine. This variation has been estimated from a lumped parameter permeance network and 3D finite element simulations, studying the flux density waveform and loci in their elements. The results from the simulations are compar
Large companies in today’s business environment are to a great extent depending on their credit score by rating institutes like Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. There is however indications that these big institutes are not always rating companies accurately. This is why this thesis aims at developing a new credit rating model, CRITA-Score, with the objective of determining a company’s financial

The site is located closeto Stora Ekon, near Saxemara. The dive team visually inspected the wreck site, recovered samples of wooden barrels far dendrochronological ana
Due to the lower radiative fraction and typically higher storage pressures, gas temperatures can often result in longer safety distances compared to radiative heat transfer for hydrogen jet flames. The high temperatures, however, also lead to a low density causing the flow to rise at a certain distance from the release. Unfortunately, a model to determine this distance, similar to what is availabl
Digital LLRF technology has been widely used in new generation particle accelerators. IF quadrature sampling is a common method for amplitude and phase detection. Many strategies, which obey the same rule of f(sample) = (M/N)f(IF) (M/N is a rational number), have been proposed to reduce the effects of spectrum aliasing. However, we found that M/N does not need to be a rational number according to
This paper presents a double directional analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle channel measurements conducted in three different traffic scenarios. Using a high-resolution algorithm, we derive channel parameters like Angle-of-Arrival (AOA), Angle-of-Departure (AOD), propagation delay and Doppler shift and identify underlying propagation mechanisms by combining these estimates with maps of the measurement
Ripley's K-function was used to investigate the changes in spatial pattern among trees in a semi-natural mixed deciduous forest in Denmark over 50 years, from 1948 to 2001. Trees larger than 10 cm diameter in breast height (dbh) were mapped at 10-year intervals in 16 blocks within two former compartments. At the start of the observation, trees were found to be regularly distributed at distances le
A fast spectral approximation of a narrow-band computer model is proposed for prediction of thermal radiation in a generally nonisothermal and nonhomogeneous combustion environment. The approximation is made by assuming each discretized spatial element along a line of sight to be locally "gray" within each small narrow-band spectrum interval. For each spatial element, the local equivalent spectral
Abstract in UndeterminedThis work presents a comparative study regarding wear behavior between a novel abrasion resistant cast iron, "Carbide Steel" and a number of conventional tool materials frequently used in the automotive industry. Carbide Steel is basically a high-Cr white cast iron heavily alloyed with cemented carbide. The high chromium content and additional alloying elements like WC. TiC
In the present work, an experimental study related to turbulent flow inside the bend part of a U-duct geometry was performed concerning pressure drop and heat transfer. Such duct geometries can be found inside gas turbine blades, where the cooling air extracts heat from hot internal walls while it is flowing inside the cooling passage. Both friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficient
Popular Abstract in English The energy demands of human society are huge and will keep increasing for the foreseeable future. Fossil fuels have largely been able to meet those demands for the last centuries, but issues of sustainability and global warming have brought about a need for alternative energy sources. The emission of the sun supplies earth with an energy that is many thousand times largOrganic solar cells employing fullerenes blended with conjugated polymers as the main light-absorbing material have achieved power conversion efficiencies exceeding 10%. They hold promise as an alternative energy source with many advantages in terms of long-term sustainability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Detailed information on the electronic and geometric structure of the molecules invo
Based on a large number of new boreholes in northern Denmark, and on the existing data, a revised event-stratigraphy is presented for southwestern Scandinavia. Five significant Late Saalian to Late Weichselian glacial events, each separated by periods of interglacial or interstadial marine or glaciolacustrine conditions, are identified in northern Denmark. The first glacial event is attributed to
A cloud system resolving model including photo-chemistry (CSRMC) has been developed based on a prototype version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and is used to study influences of deep convection on chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region. Lateral boundary conditions for trace gases are prescribed from global chemistry-transport simulations, and the vertical advection of trace
This paper focuses on two phenomena, a semanticization of the gender system that started in West Jutland, the southwestern part of Denmark, and so-called “pancake sentences” in Mainland Scandinavian (primarily Danish and Swedish). In West Jutlandic, substance-denoting nouns (as well as event nouns) are obligatorily constructed with a prenominal neuter element, primarily det, for example det mælk
