Background: Preterm birth remains the major risk factor for the development of intraventricular haemorrhage, an injury that occurs in 25% of very low birth weight infants. Intraventricular haemorrhage is thought to be venous in origin and intrinsic thromboses in the germinal matrix are likely to play a triggering role. Heparin activates antithrombin and promotes the inactivation of thrombin and ot
The commissioning and operations planning for the European Spallation Source is currently being defined. It is foreseen that the ESS will begin to deliver beam on target by mid 2019, something which is urging a well structured and thought through plan both for commissioning and operations. In this paper we will discuss the plans for beam physics operational software, priorities and software servic
Synovial proliferation in rheumatoid arthritis causes capsular distension, destruction of tendons and ligaments, and erosion of bone. The classic deformities in rheumatoid arthritis, like boutonnière or swan neck, are not consistent, and each patient may have his or her own pattern of deformities. The anatomic arrangement of the tendons enables motion of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is
A high resolution soft X-ray monochromator for the 550 MeV MAX storage ring is described. The instrument combines a plane elliptical premirror collecting a large (10 mrad) horizontal angle of radiation and a modified version of the well-known SX-700 plane grating monochromator (PGM). The modification consists of changing the original ellipsoidal focussing mirror to a plane elliptical mirror. There
Inom fysik försöker vi beskriva naturfenomen med matematiska modeller. Beroende på vilket system som ska beskrivas är olika modeller relevanta. På väldigt långa avstånd är gravitation den viktigaste kraften. Till exempel så beskrivs solsystemets dynamik av gravitation. På de kortaste avstånd som människan lyckats studera är det istället den elektromagnetiska, den svaga och den starka kraften som äIn this thesis we use effective field thory methods and models for low energy QCD in two different contexts. One is direct calculation of contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, muon g-2. The other is estimates of systematic sources of uncertainty in lattice QCD simulations. The work is presented in five papers. Papers II, IV and V describe calculations for muon g-2 and papers
The European Spallation Source is Europe's next generation high-power neutron source utilising a linear accelerator and a rotating tungsten target to produce neutrons that will be used for fundamental research and industrial applications. The facility is co-hosted by the states of Denmark and Sweden, and while the main site will be placed in Lund, Sweden, the Data Management and Software Centre wi
In order to properly design an absorption tower for CO2 capture knowledge on the absorption rate of CO2 is required. Several methods can be used to determine the absorption rate, such as a wetted wall column (WWC), stirred absorption cell or a string of discs setup. The aim of this work was to determine the absorption flux of CO2 into different amine solutions using anew method. Two absorption sys
Preparedness and resilience planning for critical infrastructure networks requires evaluating the impact to the network when its components are disrupted. We extend the well-studied problem of component importance measures in single-commodity networks to multi-commodity networks by integrating a flow based multi-commodity optimization model with a multi-criteria decision analysis tool. A three-sta
Background: Carpenter ants (genus Camponotus) are considered to be omnivores. Nonetheless, the genome sequence of Blochmannia floridanus, the obligate intracellular endosymbiont of Camponotus floridanus, suggests a function in nutritional upgrading of host resources by the bacterium. Thus, thestrongly reduced genome of the endosymbiont retains genes for all subunits of a functional urease, as well
We have analyzed theoretically the Zeeman splitting of hole-quantum-wire subband edges. As is typical for any bound state, their g factor depends on both an intrinsic g factor of the material and an additional contribution arising from a finite bound-state orbital angular momentum. We discuss the quantum-confinement-induced interplay between bulk-material and orbital effects, which is nontrivial d
Tungsten particles have been introduced into the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) in Princeton with the purpose to investigate the effects of tungsten injection on subsequent plasma discharges. An experimental setup for the study of tungsten particle transport is described where the particles are introduced into the tokamak using a modified particle dropper, otherwise used for lithium-po
The ability to tune the photon absorptance spectrum is an attracting way of tailoring the response of devices like photodetectors and solar cells. Here, we measure the reflectance spectra of InP substrates patterned with arrays of vertically standing InP nanowires. Using the reflectance spectra, we calculate and analyze the corresponding absorptance spectra of the nanowires. We show that we can tu
The recent financial crisis starting in 2007-2009 is the longest and the deepest recession since the Great Depression of 1930. The crisis that originated in the US subprime mortgage markets spread and amplified through international financial markets and resulted in severe debt crises in several European countries. Events revealed that the European Union (EU) had insufficient means to halt the spi
