The dynamic behavior of surface accommodated chlorine atoms on RuO2(110) was studied by a variety of experimental methods including high resolution core level shift, thermal desorption-, and in situ infrared spectroscopy as well as in situ surface X-ray diffraction in combination with state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations. On the chlorinated RuO2(110) surface the undercoordinated

In rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) thermometry applied to air-fed flames, the temperature sensitivity mainly depends on the intensity distribution of the nitrogen spectral lines. Temperatures are estimated by numerical fitting of theoretical spectra to experimental ones, and one uncertainty in the calculation of theoretical CARS spectra for specific flame conditions is th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Inflammation i struphuvudet kan bero på annat än reflux Bakre laryngit är en form av kronisk inflammation som påverkar struphuvudets bakre del och ibland stämbanden samt ingången till matstrupen. Det kan ge upphov till symtom i form av hosta, heshet, ökad slembildning och klumpkänsla i halsen. Inflammationen kan orsakas av flera olika Posterior laryngitis (PL) is defined as an inflammation involving the posterior part of the glottal region in conjunction with symptoms. The cause is multifactorial. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were to examine symptoms, physical signs, different aetiologies and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with PL and/or oesophageal dysmotility. In paper I, a group of pati

The co-assembly of DNA and lipids has broad implications, from the structure of the cell nucleus to gene delivery formulations. To progress in the fundamental understanding of DNA-lipid interactions the self-assembly behavior of a cationic surfactant (dodecyltrimethylammonium, DTA) with DNA as a counterion in mixtures of water and lecithin was investigated. The phase diagram was established and th

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to understand the identity of the Nobel Prize as a corporate heritage brand and its management challenges. Design/methodology/approach – An in-depth case study analysed within a heritage brand model and a corporate brand identity framework. Findings – The Nobel Prize is a corporate heritage brand – one whose value proposition is based on heritage – in this

Glucose transporters, known as Gluts, play an important role in facilitating the transport of sugar across the cell membrane. Of these, 14 types are known, one of which is Glut3, which is highly expressed in the brain, testicles and nervous system. Its importance lies in the fact that it is responsible for the uptake of glucose in cells with high sugar requirements, such as neurons. Glucose uptake

Denna studies syfte var att undersöka skiftarbetares psykiska välbefinnande utifrån faktorerna socialt stöd från familj, vänner och andra speciella personer samt möjligheten att utföra ens fritidsaktiviteter. För att utforska detta genomfördes genom en enkätundersökning (n=32) där deltagarna bestod av skiftarbetare som arbetar olika slags skiftscheman på ett industriföretag i Sverige. Enkäten best

Coronary heart diseases is one of the biggest health problems in the world today. By segmenting the coronary arteries in medical images and examining them, important information about abnormal narrowing and plaque, which are main causes to these diseases, can be found. Manual segmentation of the coronary arteries are time consuming and dependent on the observer, which makes the need of automatic s

In the medical industry, environmental considerations have lagged behind in order to focus on patient safety. A combination of both should be possible to achieve. In this report, focus have been on how environmental impacts can be lowered from disposable biomedical devices. In order to quantify the impact from a product, the method Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used which gives a full life-cycle

The objective of this study was to quantify swelling in gasket materials to better predict the gaskets life span in heat exchangers. Alfa Laval produces plate heat exchangers, which are a common unit within the process industry. There are different types of plate heat exchangers, and one type is sealed with gaskets. Two common types of rubber used as gasket materials are EPDM and NBR which are stu

People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi

This thesis was conducted at Enics manufacturing unit in Västerås. This site employs 360 people out of a total of 2400 globally. The site produces electronics and is specialised toward low volumes and spare parts. The site has problems with high inventory levels, long lead times and less than preferred service level towards customers. This is the reason for the project which will investigate if it

Upprinnelsen till detta examensarbete var att Otis Stockholm, som också leder den svenska verksamheten, saknade en processkarta för nymontageavdelning. Försök hade gjorts tidigare med att göra en processkartläggning, men man hade då inte kommit hela vägen. Man ville nu från ledningens håll ha en karta på processen så att alla gjorde på samma sätt från projekt till projekt. Processen var uppdelad iThe impetus for this thesis was the identification of the need for a process map for processing new equipment within Otis Sweden. The company had tried before to map their process but had not fully developed the model. This time managers wanted a process map to stabilize the process of managing employees to ensure consistency across projects. The process has been spit in two functions, the sales a

This paper explores the nature of migration in Egypt from a Sub-altern realist perspective. As a criticism of traditional realist theories, Sub-altern realism argues that states in the Third World are defined by their weak state structure, which in turn changes their behavior both towards other states and on the domestic arena. This paper is based on findings from a Minor Field Study that I conduc

This study deals with the issue of how music can affect the religious experience of people who sing in choirs in the Church of Sweden. It is established that music plays a great importance in people’s every-day lives, and that it has various effects on us, for instance how it can soothe a person who is agitated or the way it can induce fright, compassion, anger or happiness. Music occupies a large
