The rising levels of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere are expected to cause a rise in global temperatures. In Kyoto, December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was written under which industrialised countries have ad
INDEPENDENCE DAY is a furious and poetic performance that dissolves, destroys and liberates the theatre and the music, the chronology and the linear narratives, letting the world unfold by carefully cutting it apart without putting it together again. October 9, 2002: Aileen Wuornos’s last words before her execution: I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock, and I'll be back like Independence

Today an increasingly large and diverse audience spends more and more time and money on computer games; the actual player can now be anyone. Gameplay, whether it is raiding online in World of Warcraft, an evening of Guitar Hero in the living room with friends, or a quick round of Sudoku Master on the Nintendo DS while commuting home from work, has become part of the everyday life of millions of pe
In the current global energy scenario, gas turbine can provide delicate balance between the booming worlds energy requirement and a pollutant free sustainable society. Cleaner combustion of fuel (particular natural gas), efficient, reliable, low maintenance and cost effective operation of gas turbine attracted scientific community to push the limit further (high efficiency and zero emission gas tu
Background: Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) have improved the quality of life for seriously ill and cancer patients. These devices represent a convenient option when long-term venous access is indicated. The Subclavian and Internal Jugular Veins are the vessels of choice for catheterization [1]. However, if it is not possible to catheterize them, an alternative vein should be so
Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorgenererade bilder är en viktig del av underhållningsindustrin, som bland annat innefattar spel- och filmindustrin. För att kunna skapa avancerade specialeffekter i filmer samt stora och detaljerade spelvärldar krävs datorprogram som utnyttjar beräkningskraften i dagens datorer på ett effektivt sätt. Bättre och snabbare datorprogram leder ofta till nya användaruppleComputer generated imagery is vital to the entertainment industry in the production of games and films, for example. It is also increasingly important for visualization in design, architecture, engineering, and medicine, to name a few. Improvements to rendering techniques come from a combination of improved algorithms and more powerful hardware. Typically, hardware developments introduce new chall
Optical absorption spectroscopy is a widely used analytical tool for constituent analysis in many applications. According to the Beer-Lambert law, the transmitted light intensity through a homogeneous medium is an exponential function of the product of the concentration, the total pathlength, and the absorption cross-section of the absorbing substance. By studying the intensity loss at the unique
AbstractCystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the anion channel and protein regulator CFTR. The most common co-morbidity in CF is CF-related diabetes (CFRD) affecting ~50% of adult patients. The etiopathology of CFRD is largely unknown but the destruction of the exocrine pancreas is thought to contribute. However, the hypothesis that CFTR has a direct role in the endocrine pancreas has no
BakgrundVaccination är en av de viktigaste folkhälsoinsatserna för att rädda liv och hindra spridning av smittsamma sjukdomar. Tack vare vaccinationer har miljontals liv räddats världen över. Men det räcker inte att säkra och effektiva vaccin tas fram och tillgängliggörs. En förutsättning för framgångarna är att individer accepterar att bli vaccinerade. Under senare tid har forskningsområdet om vaThe vaccination coverage in Sweden's National Immunization Program (NIP) has been highand stable for decades. Although the coverage is high, few studies have assessed parental vaccineacceptance in Sweden. This doctoral thesis aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of currentparental vaccine acceptance, focusing particularly on Human papillomavirus (HPV) and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vac
The European solar energy business faces the challenge of developing more cost-effective solar energy systems and one solution could be using concentrating hybrid PVT systems. Two such hybrids, the Swedish systems MaReCo and Solar8, are evaluated in this study. MaReCo is a fixed concentrating system with a high angle of acceptance. Solar8 is a new system, which is under development. It is inspired
More than decoration only? Four interviews with rock and pop cellists. This research is based on four interviews with cellists who work within rock and pop music. It will examine which factors could be responsible for the cellists’ choice of specialisation. The aim of this thesis is to get a deeper understanding and knowledge about why one chooses to develop one’s musicianship outside traditional
Background: Globalization is a phenomenon which has been around since the mid- 19th century, influencing companies to either expand existing markets or entering new markets, to seek new profits. For companies with a global supply chain, the total supply chain cost is a vital factor. It is of high importance to reduce the costs in the supply chain, as lower costs will increase the profit. The case
A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou
