Dissolution of igneous feldspar and the formation and occurrence of secondary feldspar in tholeiitic basalts from the Hengill volcanic centre, in SW Iceland was studied by microprobe analysis of cuttings from two ca. 2000 m deep geothermal wells. Well NG-7 in Nesjavellir represents a geothermal system in a rift zone where the intensity of young, insignificantly altered intrusions increases with de
Source-sorted municipal organic waste collected from different dwelling types in five Danish cities and pre-treated at three different plants was sampled and characterized several times during one year to investigate the origin of any differences in composition of the pre-treated waste introduced by city, pre-treatment technology, dwelling type or annual season. The investigated pre-treatment tech
The perforated patch whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was applied to superficial glucagon-secreting alpha-cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets. alpha-cells were distinguished from the beta- and delta-cells by the presence of a large TTX-blockable Na+ current, a TEA-resistant transient K+ current sensitive to 4-AP (A-current) and the presence of two kinetically separable Ca2
This paper presents findings from two explorative studies. One is a consumer study based on interviews with consumers in real store settings and one is a study based on interviews with fruit and vegetable managers of stores affiliated with a major food retail chain in Sweden. The aim of both studies was to explore the role of the grocery store for the consumers' choice of organic versus convention
This article presents a materials kitting case study, using an alternative method for materials killing: the traditional picker-to-material principle was replaced with a material-to-picker approach. The Study was made in a materials supply workshop of an automobile plant shortly after this kitting process had been introduced. The materials kitting was video recorded and the material pickers' physi
BACKGROUND: The role of cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin in the development and growth of pancreatic cancer cells is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CCK-8S, gastrin-17, bombesin, and their antagonists on cell lines from patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Cell lines were established from pancreatic cancers operated on at our department. The cells were grown
Gruvdrift på havsbotten har länge varit ett intressant ämne. Första gången någon hittade mineraler på havsbotten var i slutet av 1800-talet. Under de senaste åren har det skett en teknisk och ekonomisk utveckling som har gjort det möjligt att kommersiellt utvinna dessa mineraler. Samtidigt finns det många som oroar sig för de negativa miljöeffekterna. Det är nämligen omöjligt att bedriva djuphavsbDeep-seabed mining has been of interest ever since they found minerals at the bottom of the ocean at the end of the 19th century. There has been a technological and economic evolution in recent years, making it possible to commercially mine these minerals. At the same time, many worry about its negative environmental impacts. With today’s technology, it is impossible to conduct deep-sea mining wit
The novels Lady Audley’s Secret and The Picture of Dorian Gray both feature a beautiful but corrupted character as protagonist, the corruption of whom only gets revealed slowly to the reader while the fascination for the characters’ beauty is vanishing. This essay is investigating how this beauty is used in the two novels respectively and gives a general overview of contemporary readers’ perceptio
The analysis shows that underpricing exists on the European market during 1999-2010 and that PE backed firms usually experience a lower underpricing than non-PE backed companies. Maturity, earnings management and company size are variables explaining underpricing for PE firms. For non-PE backed IPOs, earnings management is the only statistically significant variable explaining the underpricing. In
Molecular cluster is a nanoparticle that is defined as an agglomerate of few up to 106-7 of molecules (corresponding to 1- 100 nm in size) that can be manipulated by the cluster beams. Molecular cluster properties typically lie between the individual molecule and bulk matter properties. This work describes the employment of the Cold Aerodynamic Source (CAS) to produce a narrow, collimated and iso
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka definitonen av en icke-internationell väpnad konflikt. Konflikten i Libyen respektive Syrien kommer att användas som exempel på hur olika detta kan tolkas. Definitonen av en konflikt är av stor betydelse för vilka regler som ska appliceras på den och för straffansvar. IIVK regleras i internationell humanitär rättsliga (IHR) konventioner som GenèvekonveThe purpose of this paper is to examine what constitutes a non-international armed conflict (NIAC), using the conflicts in Libya respectively Syria as examples of how different this can be interpreted. This definition is of great importance when it comes to what rules to apply and criminal accountability. NIACs are regulated in international humanitarian law (IHL) conventions such as the Geneva Co
EUs anslutning till Europakonventionen har varit föremål för diskussion ända sedan slutet av 1970-talet. På grund av bristande rättslig grund i fördragen, har anslutning dock inte varit möjligt förrän ikraftträdandet av Lissabonfördraget år 2009. Artikel 6(2) FEU föreskriver nu en skyldighet för EU att ansluta sig till konventionen under förutsättning att avtalet om Unionens anslutning avspeglar nAccession of the EU to the ECHR has been subject to discussion since the late 1970s. Due to a lack of legal basis in the treaties, accession has not been possible until the entering into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. Article 6(2) TEU now stipulates an obligation for the Union to accede to the Convention under the condition that the agreement relating to the accession makes provisions for
Understanding third spaces as spaces of resistance and hybridity, this thesis examines western policies of remediation from a minoritarian perspective. It is an attempt to understand textual reality from a minoritarian viewpoint with tools offered for such critical analysis. Policies and organizations of influence are the greatest transmitters of homogeneous values; understanding power through tec
The validity of the estimator of the coefficient of variation (CV*) can be checked by investigating the bias and mean square error (Mse) of CV*. In this research we simulate the bias and Mse of CV* in normal, exponential, poisson and binomial distributions. We investigate the behavior of the bias and Mse of CV* as a function of sample size and distribution parameters in these distributions. We inv
This study investigates the impact of rules of origin (ROO) on the Malagasy textile and clothing industry. The ROO of two different preferential trading arrangements for developing countries, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) of the US and the Lomé/Cotonou agreement of the EU, are compared and related to Malagasy clothing exports and textile imports. The AGOA ROO are found to be more l
