Ord från ordförande. Under februari har det varit modeveckor med allt vad det innebär. Jag var positivt överras- kad av Stockholms version. Det mycket mer avskalade – delvis digitala, delvis irl – med mindre middagar, shower och events gjorde att jag för första gången på länge blev lite in- tresserad. Precis som svenskt mode är känt för att vara minimalistiskt och svalt får den svens- ka modevecka
Teaching the topic of structural dynamics in any engineering field is a true challenge due to the wide span of the underlying subjects like mathematics, mechanics (both rigid body and continuum mechanics), numerical analysis, random data analysis and physical understanding.With the increased availability of computers many engineering problems in practice are evaluated by means of numerical methods
An ab initio study of the role of electronic curve crossing of benzene S-1 state in the photo dissociation dynamics of the iodobenzene and effect of fluorination is presented. Two dissociative life times observed in iodobenzene is attributed to the coupled repulsive potential energy curves of the low-lying n-sigma*, pi-sigma*, pi-pi* states. The direct channel is attributed to the alkyl like trans
The potential of polarization spectroscopy for the detection of trace constituents in sooting combustion was investigated. It was demonstrated that the directionality of the polarization spectroscopy signal can be exploited to efficiently suppress incoherent interferences, e.g., Rayleigh scattering at soot particles. We also show how polarization spectroscopy compares with laser-induced fluorescen
Cubozoans, or box jellyfish, differ from all other cnidarians by an active fish-like behaviour and an elaborate sensory apparatus(1,2). Each of the four sides of the animal carries a conspicuous sensory club ( the rhopalium), which has evolved into a bizarre cluster of different eyes(3). Two of the eyes on each rhopalium have long been known to resemble eyes of higher animals, but the function and
The interpretation of whether a dated metamorphic zircon generation grew during the prograde, peak or retrograde stage of a metamorphic cycle is critical to geological interpretation. This study documents a case at Herrestad, in the eastern part of the 1±0 Ga Sveconorwegian Province, involving progressive metamorphic recrystallization of gabbro to garnet amphibolite and associated behaviour of Zr-
The X-ray structure of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH) has been determined at 1.69 Å resolution. In this paper we present two structures of zinc-free SEH (apoSEH) and one zinc-loaded form of SEH (ZnSEH). SEH exhibits the conventional superantigen (SAg) fold with two characteristic domains. In ZnSEH one zinc ion per SEH molecule is bound to the C-terminal β-sheet in the region i
We present a program to compute polarizabilities of nominal one-electron systems using the Lagrange-mesh method (LMM) (Baye, 2015), that was used by Filippin et al., (2018). A semiempirical-core-potential approach is implemented, ultimately solving a Dirac-like equation by diagonalizing the corresponding Hamiltonian matrix. In order to build the core potential, the core orbitals are obtained from
In 1986, Thames Television broadcast a series of programmes on British cinema. In one of them, dedicated to the Free Cinema documentary movement of the 1950s, and the new wave of films it triggered in Britain in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s (particularly Anderson’s own), Lindsay Anderson took the opportunity to ridicule the prominent box office and Academy Award success of Chariots of Fire, which premi
Popular Abstract in English Life on earth has evolved countless forms, beautiful shapes and colors as well as astonishingly complex systems. Remarkably, all living creatures consist of cells, which themselves are build from the same basic set of molecules, most importantly nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), lipids and proteins. The latter are large macromolecules that fulfill a vast number of tasks; theThe three-dimensional structure of protein is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Modern structure prediction algorithms make it possible to predict the structure of small proteins using sequence information alone. We used the Fold-and-Dock algorithm, which is part of the Rosetta macromolecular modeling suite, for de novo structure prediction of coiled-coil proteins. Members of this protein family
My thesis is an attempt to give a minimalist account of word formation in Swedish. (See Chomsky (1993) and (1994).) In the main part of my thesis I demonstrate how the proposed system accounts for the central aspects of Swedish word formation. Simple words, compounds, and derivations alike are described as formed by Generalized Transformations, primarily by Merge, but also by Move. From a lexico
This thesis was motivated by contradictory results from previous studies on reading describing foreign language learners in upper secondary school. Methods based upon ideas by Palinscar & Brown, Cooper, Beck et al, and Krashen were tested on approximately 200 students studying Spanish in the first two years of upper secondary school in Sweden. The methods used are called reciprocal reading, k
New interactive information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up new possibilities in the field of distance education. The traditional distance education organisations are challenged by conventional universities who have developed into dual mode institutions using interactive ICT. This challenge from conventional universities may also involve a conceptual challenge - from distribution
A semiconductor (InSb) showed transient metal- like heat conduction after excitation of a dense electron- hole plasma via short and intense light pulses. A related ultrafast strain relaxation was detected using picosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction. The deduced heat conduction was, by a factor of 30, larger than the lattice contribution. The anomalously high heat conduction can be explained o
X-ray tomography is a well established technique for investigating three-dimensional bulk structures across scales, from macroscopic samples down to their microscopic constituents. The addition of a temporal dimension through dynamic, time-resolved acquisition results in four-dimensional datasets whose complexity often exceeds the processing capabilities of existing image analysis tools. To addres
Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon
This paper examines different authors and their reasons as to why they use pseudonyms. With the help of theories like Paratexts, Thresholds of Interpretation (1997) by Gérard Genette and Konvergenskulturen (2012) by Henry Jenkins, the essay provides an insight into why authors choose to use pseudonyms as well as publishers’ marketing strategies for this. To gain a better understanding of the world
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Glioma stem like cells (GSC) represent the highest cellular hierarchy in GBM and have a determining role in tumor growth, recurrence and patient prognosis. However, a better definition of GSC subpopulations, especially at the surgical resection margin, is warranted for improved oncological treatment options. T
In Sweden the government has an intention to make the pre-school system free of charge One step towards the aim is to equalize the charge system among the muncipalitys. To day it´s the local authoritys responsibility to put the rate on the charge, with the new reform this will change. The new reform "Maxtaxa och allmän förskola m.m" is going to be introduced in januari 2002. The purpose
