Popular Abstract in Swedish I mitt arbete som transplantationskoordinator på Kliniken för njurmedicin och transplantation på Universitetssjukhuset MAS i Malmö kommer jag i kontakt med många patienter som väntar på njurtransplantation. Det ingår i mitt arbete att informera dessa patienter inför uppsättning på väntelistan för njurtransplantation. En annan av mina arbetsuppgifter är att koordinera ocGreat efforts have been made to find solutions to the shortage of organs, such as extending the donor pool by accepting so-called marginal donors and development of transplantation of organs from animals (xenotransplantation, xt). Due to the scarcity of organs, there is a long tradition of prioritizing among patients on the waiting list for transplantation. Rules for allocation of organs have been

We derive a sequential algorithm for simultaneous calibration and quadratic hedging of options. It can be applied to any model from which we can simulate paths and price options. The quadratic hedging comes at no extra cost! We have calibrated the Bates and NIG-CIR model to S&P 500 index options in order to evaluate various hedging strategies (delta, quadratic), clearly indicating the advantag

Different aspects of cantilevers to be used as sensors have been studied. Silicon cantilevers have been fabricated and integrated on CMOS chips using low-energy electron beam lithography in order to reduce the irradiation damage to the circuits. The released and integrated cantilevers have been tested and used as mass sensors in air. The resonance frequency of the cantilever was measured before an

This paper focuses on the performance and efficiency of an HCCI (Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition) engine system running on natural gas or landfill gas for stationary applications. Zero-dimensional modelling and simulation of the engine, turbo, inlet and exhaust manifolds and inlet air conditioner (intercooler/heater) are used to study the effect of compression ratio and exhaust turbine size

This thesis, which is based on five original papers, covers different aspects of antibody specificity and diversity, with the overall goal to understand the makeup of antibody repertoires and their functionality as they occur in vivo or as they are developed in the laboratory. Besides their importance in the adaptive immune response, antibodies have emerged as an invaluable tool in applications r

The environment in which our cognitive processes operate is crucial for understanding their current form, their reliability, and their function. In the following pages I will look at the role the environment plays in psychological explanations of cognitive behaviour, also when the explanations are not of an evolutionary character. In particular, I will focus on how environmental considerations (br
