Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a qualitative thematic analysis of reader comments posted in connection to a series of articles published after Encyclopaedia Britannica’s announcement to forego its print edition. It shows how ideas of what information is, are entangled with ideas of what a certain medium is and does. Two research questions guide the analysis: 1) How are encyclopedias a
The highly malignant brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme, is difficult to totally resect without aid due to its infiltrative way of growing and its morphological similarities to surrounding functioning brain under direct vision in the operating field. The need for an inexpensive and robust real-time visualizing system for resection guiding in neurosurgery has been formulated by research groups al
The purpose of this study is to investigate the driving forces towards second-hand shopping for clothing. Though literature on this topic already exists, there is still room for further examination, especially when adding other perspectives to it. Therefore, this project is especially concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying motivations for shopping second-hand, looking into
We make Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) flexible by combining it with AC electrokinetics.
We have fabricated a silicon-glass two-phase droplet-based microfluidic system and implemented two-dimensional acoustic focusing prior to droplet generation as well as continuously throughout the whole system to increase particle detectability. Using acoustic focusing we have effectively minimized sedimentation of the encapsulated particles and thereby increased particle detectability by as much a
Direct and precise manipulation of sub-micron particles such as bacteria, platelets, organelles, microvesicles, exosomes or virus particles is challenging. We describe for the first time how acoustic streaming in the bulk can be efficiently reduced by introducing a density or compressibility gradient and that this enables focusing of 500-nm-diameter particles in a standard acoustophoresis channel.
SKA Construction phase we are now in a transition phase that hopefully will prepare us for the next challenge: start building the SKA. One of the targets of this period is to evaluate the suitability of the Taranta (proper Webjive) Suite for creating engineering User Interfaces (UIs). The Taranta suite is a framework that allows the fast creation of web UIs that directly communicate with TANGO dev
The Swedish army marched 1658 over the ice on the Danish sounds from Jutland to Zealand. An event that led to the foundation of Lund University in 1666. From the loads involved the ice thickness can be determined to have been at least 20 cm. Using data from mid-17 hundreds and forward the ice thickness of every year is computed. Large ice thickness seems to have been more common in the period mid
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the conceptualisation of bibliometric analyses in terms of the levels on which they are performed, adding contextual factors to the dimension where the size of the unit being analysed is considered. Based on empirical investigations of resource allocation systems and research evaluation practices, as well as the previous literature conceptualising bibliometr
Background: The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipi
