Exoplanets have been observed at many stages of their host star's life, including the main-sequence (MS), subgiant and red giant branch stages. Also, polluted white dwarfs (WDs) likely represent dynamically active systems at late times. Here, we perform three-body simulations which include realistic post-MS stellar mass-loss and span the entire lifetime of exosystems with two massive planets, from

Oxidation of SO2.nH2O/HSO3-/SO32- by Pt(CN)4Cl22- has been studied at 25-degrees-C and 1.0 M ionic strength in acidic aqueous solution by use of stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1 according to Pt(CN)4Cl22- + HSO3 + H2O --> Pt(CN)42- + 2Cl- + HSO4- + 2H+. It is first-order with respect to both [Pt(IV)] and [S(IV)]. The pH-dependence in the region 0.3 < pH < 4.5

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is a fungal extracellular flavocytochrome capable of direct electron transfer (DET). Unlike other CDHs, the pH optimum for CDHs from Corynascus thermophilus (CtCDH) and Humicola insolens (HiCDH) is close to the human physiological pH in blood (7.4). These are, therefore, interesting candidates for glucose measurements in human blood and the application in enzymatic f

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was identified in 3.2% of 21 463 residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, 50 years of age or older. The risk of progression to multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, AL amyloidosis or a lymphoproliferative disorder is approximately 1% per year. Low-risk MGUS is characterized by having an M protein < 15 g/l, IgG type and a normal

Popular Abstract in Swedish De ökande kraven på högre datahastigheter inom trådlös kommunikation ställer allt högre krav på både radiosändare och mottagare, då dessa behöver utnyttja fler frekvensband med större bandbredd vid högre frekvenser. Fokus i denna avhandling ligger på högfrekvensdelen av radiomottagaren, som består av lågbrusförstärkare, blandare, och oscillatorer vid mikrovågsfrekvenserThe increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems is increasing the requirements on the transceiver front-ends, as they are pushed to utilize more and wider bands at higher frequencies. The work in this thesis is focused on receiver front-ends composed of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Mixers, and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating at microwave frequencies. Tra

This review provides a comprehensive account of what is known presently about Amazonian aerosol particles and concludes by formulating outlook and priorities for further research. The review is organized to follow the life cycle of Amazonian aerosol particles. It begins with a discussion of the primary and secondary sources relevant to the Amazonian particle burden, followed by a presentation of t

Targino, A. C., Krecl, P., Johansson, C., Swietlicki, E., Massling, A., Coraiola, G. C. & Lihavainen, H. 2013: Deterioration of air quality across Sweden due to transboundary agricultural burning emissions. Boreal Env. Res. 18: 19-36. We analyzed measurements of aerosol and trace-gas concentrations from sites across Sweden before and during a series of agricultural wildland fires in eastern Eu

Den gamla konsumentköplagen har kritiserats av hästnäringen eftersom den har ansetts vara mycket hämmande för näringsidkares möjligheter att sälja hästar till privatpersoner. Detta eftersom en häst enligt lagen är en lös sak, och i den tidigare konsumentköplagen särskilde lagstiftaren inte levande djur från övriga varor. Vilket innebar att näringsidkarna fick en oskäligt tung bevisbörda om en konsThe old consumer sales act has been criticized by the horse industry for restricting traders in their possibilities of selling horses to consumers. The reason for this has been that horses in the eyes of the law are considered chattels, which means that the same rules applied to both horses and refrigerators. In the old law there was an assumption that any faults that occurred within the first six

The aim of this project is to make a model which could be used during risk identification in swedish underground stations. The model is based on a risk identification in T-centralen, Stockholm and will in a foreseeable way structure the risk sources that can affect personal safety. There will be suggestions concerning preventive measures in an underground station, both material and organizational.

The thesis explores the transformation of everyday spaces into spaces of resistance through “supported action”. It is based on semi-structured interviews with eight organisations fighting for reproductive rights and justice in Ireland. A diffractive analytical method is employed to identify intra-actions of space, bodies and objects in the transformation of politically produced and capitalist spac

In the last decades, scholars, managers and consultants have shown increased interest in identifying the characteristics of high-performance organizations. Searching for ways to improve organizational performance and respond to a growing demand for quality products and services in a rapidly changing environment, this subject is of special interest of managers in both public and private organizatio

The performance of six custom-built Hygrocopicity-Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (H-TDMA) systems was investigated in the frame of an international calibration and intercomparison workshop held in Leipzig, February 2006. The goal of the workshop was to harmonise H-TDMA measurements and develop recommendations for atmospheric measurements and their data evaluation. The H-TDMA systems were co

The Swedish Water Authorities have proposed a measure to reduce phosphorus losses by restricting manure application on soils with high levels of plant available phosphorus. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if leaching of phosphorus will decrease if the measure is implemented, if the effect is restricted to soils with high phosphorus content and if other European countries have implemented

This thesis poses structural and behavioural competition problems in digital markets in terms of core platforms services provided by the gatekeepers under the proposed Digital Markets Act by the European Commission, where such problems are the most evident. This thesis analyses whether existing competition and more sector-specific legal tools are functional to address these problems. Traditional l

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

Detta examensarbete rör direktiv 2006/46/EG och dess överensstämmelse med den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna. Examensarbetet använder Sverige som ett exempel, och analyserar främst lagen (2003:389) om elektronisk kommunikation och dess tillkortakommanden vad gäller brottsbekämpande myndigheters tillgång till lagrade trafikuppgifter. This thesis concerns Directive 2006/46/EC and its compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The thesis uses Sweden as an example, and mainly analyses the shortcomings in Swedish legislation on how traffic data may be accessed by law enforcement authorities, finding that the regulations under the Swedish Electronic Communications Act breaches Article 8 and 13
