Bioclimatic indices for use in studies of ecosystem function, species distribution, and vegetation dynamics under changing climate scenarios depend on estimates of surface fluxes and other quantities, such as radiation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture, for which direct observations are sparse. These quantities can be derived indirectly from meteorological variables, such as near-surface air t
Methods and compositions for producing lipid-based cubic phase nanoparticles were first discovered in the 1990s. Since then a number of studies have been presented, but little is known about how to control key properties such as particle size, morphology, and stability of cubic phase dispersions. In the present work we give examples of how these properties can be tuned by composition and processin
Ellinor Johansson – Service management tourism Travel report – Tsinghua University Hi everyone! At the moment I am sitting in my dorm at Tsinghua University in Beijing. I have already been here for 3 months out of 4 in total. Times passes by very fast when you live in a different country, where new and strange things happen everyday, like in China. I decided to apply to a university in China becau

We study the simulation of stochastic processes defined as stochastic integrals with respect to type G Levy processes for the case where it is not possible to simulate the type G process exactly. The type G Levy process as well as the stochastic integral can on compact intervals be represented as an infinite series. In a practical simulation we must truncate this representation. We examine the app
Vårterminen 98 gav Institutionen för Reglerteknik doktorandkursen Praktikfall i reglerteknik. Kursen bestod av ett projektarbete på en industri med reglertillämpningar. Den här rapporten redovisar resultatet av ett arbete på råspritbränneriet i Nöbbelöv, där basen för brännvinet Absolut Vodka tillverkas. Bränneriet hade problem med fluktuationer i koncentrationen av etanol i råspriten. ProjektgruDuring spring 1998 the course Industrial Case Studies in Control was given at the Department of Automatic Control in Lund. The course consisted of a project at an industry with control applications. This report considers a project at the crude alcohol distillery in Nöbbelöv, where the base product for the liquor Absolut Vodka is produced. The distillery had problems with fluctuations in the concen
We study the surface diffusion and alloying of Sb into GaAs nanowires (NWs) with controlled axial stacking of wurtzite (Wz) and zinc blende (Zb) crystal phases. Using atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy, we find that Sb preferentially incorporates into the surface layer of the {110}-terminated Zb segments rather than the {1120}-terminated Wz segments. Density functional theory calcul
Acoustic standing wave technology combined with ligand complexed microbeads offers a means for affinity specific selection of target analytes from complex samples. When realized in a microfluidic format we can capitalize on laminar flow and acoustic forces that can drive cells or microbeads across fluid interfaces. Given this, we have the ability to perform carrier fluid (suspending medium) exchan
Current hemophilia B treatment guidelines recommend routine prophylaxis with factor IX (FIX) replacement products, tailored to maintain plasma activity at levels that will prevent bleeds. However, plasma FIX activity may not be the primary determinant or best indicator of hemostatic efficacy due to its extravascular distribution. FIX replacement therapy has evolved to include extended half-life (E
The steam pressure control loops in the drying section of a paper machine play an important role for the quality of the moisture content control. The steam pressure loops are essential for the effective use of advanced control schemes for the moisture control. From mathematical model building and experiments on industrial paper machines it is found that the dynamics from the steam valves to the st
The highest spin states in a T(z)=1/2 nucleus have been observed in 77Sr: I(pi)=(49/2+) and (29/2-). In addition, states up to I(pi)=(22+) have been seen in 78Sr. The alpha=1/2, g9/2 band and both signature partners of the negative parity band in 77Sr were found to be identical to the yrast band in 78Sr with relative alignments of 1.22(7)HBAR, 0.52(5)HBAR (alpha=1/2), and 0.42(4)HBAR (alpha=-1/2),
Hexagonal ferrites doped with metal oxides have long been used in a variety of fields such as in sensors, actuators and other hardware. They are inherently stable and exhibit different properties, such as the magnetoelectric effect, which can be tuned through choice of structure and dopants. The production of magnetoelectric hexaferrites can be costly and complicated. In this thesis a method base
Platelets express Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and this has been shown to be responsible for the thrombocytopenia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in vivo. We studied the role of LPS in mediating platelet phagocytosis by THP-1 cells in vitro by flow cytometry. Opsonization of platelets with an IgG monoclonal (W6/32) antibody or with IgG autoantibody-positive sera from patients wi
