Photoinduced electronic and structural changes of a hydrogen-generating supramolecular RuPt photocatalyst are studied by a combination of time-resolved photoluminescence, optical transient absorption, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This work uses the element specificity of X-ray techniques to focus on the interplay between the photophysical and -chemical processes and the associated time scale

The European Spallation Source Neutrino Super Beam (ESSνSB) project aims at a discovery of leptonic CP violation with a precise measurement of the CP phase angle. ESSνSB is characterized by an intense neutrino beam to be produced at ESS by a 5-MW proton beam, and the placement of the far detector at the second oscillation maximum. The aims of the near detector for ESSνSB are neutrino flux and inte

This thesis investigates the female novel of development as a specific genre, focusing on Swedish 20th century literature. In the first three chapters, three trilogies are examined, namely Agnes von Krusenstjerna's series about a titled girl (I922-26), Irja Browallius' novels about a foster girl (1957-61), and Ingrid Sjöstrand's series of collective novels about a group of girls from a girls' scho

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and growing concern regarding global climate changes over the last years has pointed out the need to quantify and control the leaking of methane into the atmosphere. Landfill gas is regarded as one of the major sources for methane migration to the atmosphere. In this study we present research work with the objective to evaluate the use of geoelectrical resistiv

The research history and conditions in experimental archaeology up until today show a heavy emphasis on technological studies within a hypothetical-deductive theoretical paradigm. How is it possible to enhance the conditions for experimental archaeology so that it can also develop as a humanistic area of research, more closely related to existential perspectives of human life? We argue for the int

Amine transaminase (ATA) catalyse enantioselectively the direct amination of ketones, but insufficient stability during catalysis limits their industrial applicability. Recently, we revealed that ATAs suffer from substrate-induced inactivation mechanism involving dissociation of the enzyme-cofactor intermediate. Here, we report on engineering the cofactor-ring-binding element, which also shapes th

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper metalloenzymes that can enhance polysaccharide depolymerization through an oxidative mechanism, making them interesting for the production of biofuel from cellulose. However, the details of this activation are unknown; in particular, the nature of the intermediate that attacks the glycoside C–H bond in the polysaccharide is not known, and a nu

Failure of soft tissue implants has been largely attributed to the influence of biomaterial surface properties on the foreign body response, but some implant complications, e.g. macrophage accumulation and necrosis, are still not effectively addressed with surface treatments to minimize deleterious biomaterial effects. We explored an alternative explanation for implant failure, linking biocompatib

Preservation of protein conformation upon transfer into the gas phase is key for structure determination of free single molecules, for example using X-ray free-electron lasers. In the gas phase, the helicity of melittin decreases strongly as the protein's protonation state increases. We demonstrate the sensitivity of soft X-ray spectroscopy to the gas-phase structure of melittin cations ([melittin

JavaScript is a dynamically typed and object-based scripting language with runtime evaluation. It has emerged as an important language for client-side computation of web applications. Previous studies have shown differences in behavior between established JavaScript benchmarks and real-world web applications. However, there still remains several important aspects to explore. In this paper, we comp

We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to analyse the association of histology-specific brain tumours with other cancers in family members. Among 0-68-year-old offspring, 9414 patients with brain tumours were identified from 1961 to 2000, of whom, 3387 parents were diagnosed with any primary neoplasm. Astrocytoma, meningioma and neurinoma were the main histological types. Increased

This work aims to investigate pool boiling heat transfer enhancement by using nanostructured surfaces. Two types of nanostructured surfaces were employed, gold nanoparticle-coated surfaces and alumina nanoparticle-coated surfaces. The nanostructured surfaces were fabricated by an electrophoretic deposition technique, depositing nanoparticles in a nanofluid onto smooth copper surfaces under an elec

The automation of kitting tasks-collecting a set of parts for one particular car into a kit-has a huge impact in the automotive industry. It considerably increases the automation levels of tasks typically conducted by human workers. Collecting the parts involves picking up objects from pallets and bins as well as placing them in the respective compartments of the kitting box. In this paper, we pre
