Popular Abstract in Swedish I kopplingsanalys, eller i en något mera generell mening vid genletning, så söker man efter sjukdomsgener längs ett genom. Här kan man tolka ett genom som en mängd av hela, eller bitar av, olika kromosomer. Med avseende på en mängd sammanhängande flergenerationella släkter så observerar man då, längs genomets kromosombitar, markördata, dvs genotyper bestående av nedärvdIn linkage analysis or, in a wider sense, gene mapping one searches for disease loci along a genome. This is done by observing so called marker genotypes (alleles) and phenotypes (affecteds/unaffecteds) of a pedigree set, i.e. a set of multigenerational families, in order to locate the loci corresponding to the underlying disease genes or, at least, to narrow down the interesting genome regions.

The problem of identifying jets at CERN LEP and DESY HERA is studied. Identification using jet energies and fragmentation properties is treated separately in order to investigate the degree of quark-gluon separation that can be achieved by either of these approaches. In the case of the fragmentation-based identification, a neural network is used, and a test of the dependence on the jet production

This paper deals with line-drawings, obtained from images of piecewise planar objects after edge detection. Such images are used, e.g., for navigation and recognition. In order to be a possible image of a three dimensional piecewise planar object, it has to obey some projective conditions. Criteria for a line-drawing to be correct is given in this paper, along with methods to find possible interpr

This Master’s Thesis, under the Division of Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology, was conducted at Presona AB located in Tomelilla, Sweden during the first half of 2006. Presona AB is a leading manufacturer of equipment for handling and compression of waste. The object of the thesis is to reduce the manufacturing cost of Presona’s heavy duty stationary compactor. This is acquired by rede

Two methods of computational analysis of DNA barcodes are presented. A DNA barcode is formed by making GC-rich regions of a DNA molecule fluoresce while AT-rich regions remain dark, thus when stretched using nano-channels and viewed in a microscope, the DNA molecule will resemble a barcode with black and white stripes. Because of point-spread functions and pixellation the resolution will be roughl

Contemporary discussions on peace implementations indicate that new peace agreements are more comprehensive in promoting peace than previous peace agreements. In contemplation of analyzing whether this idea is justifiable, this thesis utilizes the concepts of peacebuilding and power sharing in order to make use of a comparative study. The comparison between two peace agreements, one from 1972 and

Streams of event weights in particle-level Monte Carlo event generators are a convenient and immensely CPU-efficient approach to express systematic uncertainties in phenomenology calculations, providing systematic variations on the nominal prediction within a single event sample. But the lack of a common standard for labelling these variation streams across different tools has proven to be a major

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring lattice contains three separate families of octupole magnets. During the lattice design, they served the purpose of minimising the amplitude-dependent tune shift. Ensuring the optimal settings of the octupoles is important in order to achieve the desired machine performance in terms of transverse dynamic acceptance and momentum acceptance. This paper describes the onl

År 2011 infördes entreprenörskap i den svenska skolans läroplaner. På 1980-talet ansågs dock utbildningsorganisationen Ung Företagsamhet (UF), som fokuserar på entreprenörskapsutbildning för ungdomar, vara ideologiskt kontroversiell. Under loppet av 30 år har synen på entreprenörskap och UF:s status förändrats i grunden. Denna avhandling undersöker hur och varför entreprenörskap blev ett kunskapsoIn 2011, entrepreneurship was added to the curricula of Swedish schools at all levels. In the 1980s, however, the educational organization Junior Achievement (JA), that focuses on entrepreneurship education for young people, was considered ideologically controversial. Over the course of 30 years, the view of entrepreneurship and the status of JA has changed fundamentally. This thesis investigates

The end Permian negative δ13C excursion is well known but its cause and chronology are still in question. In an attempt to decipher the timing and reasons for this strong decrease, we established high-resolution sedimentological, biostratigraphical and carbonate carbon isotopic studies in four sections in Iran (Abadeh, Shareeza, Zal and Djulfa) and two in Oman (Wadi Sahtan). The position of the se

This introduction to the Special Issue explores the ways in which a gendered analysis illuminates histories of segregation. It argues three key points. First, it is essential to understand segregation from an intersectional perspective, one that fully integrates gender alongside other factors and dynamics in order to fully understand the differences and similarities in segregation between differen

Direct laser writing (DLW) has arise interest in a variety of fields due to the capabilities that we get from the realization of 2D and 3D structures with high resolution fabrication techniques. Multi-photon lithography (MPL) relies on non-linear absorption effects, making possible the fabrication of metasurfaces with feature size beyond the diffraction limit. A new approach in this direction is t

In this paper we study the numerical quadrature of a stochastic integral, where the temporal regularity of the integrand is measured in the fractional Sobolev-Slobodeckij norm in Wσ,p(0,T), σ ∈(0,2), p∈[2,∞). We introduce two quadrature rules: The first is best suited for the parameter range σ ∈(0,1) and consists of a Riemann-Maruyama approximation on a randomly shifted grid. The second quadrature

Spores of Curvularia lunata were immobilized in polyacrylamide granules and in calcium alginate beads (2–3 mm in diam.). Germination of the spores, initiated by the addition of nutrients, resulted in an even distribution of mycelium throughout the beads after 48 h. Such beads were used for the conversion of cortexolone to cortisol by steroid-11β-hydroxylation. In order to improve the steroid trans

The present communication is mainly focused on molecular oxygen detection in porous organic matter, through a tunable diode laser spectroscopy. Initial measurements on wood were preformed in order to illustrate the influence of the density and anisotropy of the sample on the GASMAS-signal. Additional measurements were performed on horticultural produces, in which the concentration of the molecular

Climate change and disasters are among today’s most pressing issues. The damage caused by the world-wide increase in disasters is staggering, with the urban poor being most at risk. Disasters make their al-ready precarious living conditions worse, creating a vicious circle of poverty. More and more attention has thus been given to the need to address changing climatic conditions and disaster risk

This paper briefly summarizes a research project aiming at analyzing the scaling up of extreme programming (XP) in a market driven context for embedded software and the integration of XP towards management processes in this context. Both the scaling of XP and market driven software development issues are not addressed by the original XP methodology as it relies on developing software by simplifyin

interactIVe introduces active intervention safety systems in order to increase traffic safety. The interactIVe functions are – depending on their purpose – able to brake and steer autonomously. Furthermore, the driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems which warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. Seven demonstrator vehicles – six passenger cars of different v
