Background and purpose: Caveolin-1-deficiency is associated with substantial urogenital alterations. Here, a mechanical, histological and biochemical characterization of female detrusors from wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1-deficient (KO) mice was made to increase the understanding of detrusor changes caused by lack of caveolae. Experimental approach: Length-tension relationships were generated, and

Eight laboratories participated in a concerted research project on the assessment of hot working conditions. The objectives were, among others, to co-ordinate the work of the main European research teams in the field of thermal factors and to improve the methods available to assess the risks of heat disorders at the workplace, and in particular the “Required Sweat Rate” model as presented in Inter

To increase indoor coverage for mobile services, we propose a residential small cell infrastructure making use of the existing copper plant. The system is cabinet-based, collocated with VDSL2 and uses small pieces of spectrum next to VDSL2. Inspired by the Ericsson Radio Dot System, it challenges the femtocell paradigm offering full macro functionality in the small cells. An interesting service po

In this paper mathematical modeling and a dedicated control algorithm of the patented Series Magnetized Synchronous Machine (SMSM) are presented. The SMSM is an electrically magnetized synchronous machine, where the field current is supplied via the stator windings and a diode bridge rectifier. For the SMSM there is no need for additional field voltage supply and the SMSM exhibits significantly fa

ForcePAD is an intuitive tool for visualising the behavior of structures subjected to loading and boundary conditions. The design of the user interface aims to be as intuitive as a standard image processing software. Users should be able to design structures, apply and boundary conditions and visualise results without knowledge of the underlying nite element model.

The interface of the oceans and aqueous aerosols with air drives many important physical and chemical processes in the environment, including the uptake of CO2 by the oceans. Transport across and reactions at the ocean-air boundary are in large part determined by the chemical composition of the interface, i.e., the first few nanometers into the ocean. The main constituents of the interface, beside

In this thesis the III-V semiconductor material GaSb (111) was studied using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy. To characterize the surfaces of semiconductors has become more relevant in today society. When semiconductors become so small that they are in the micro scale the surface must be taken into consideration. The sample is first placed in the cleaning chamber

This paper studies the impact of inflation on income taxes in Sweden, the UK, and the United States during the world wars. As tax reforms were rising top marginal rates and reducing exemption thresholds, extraordinary levels of inflation eroded the real value of exemptions, brackets, and deductions. The micro-simulation of actual and alternative scenarios shows that inflation made the tax less pro

This research strives to examine the impact of online brand communication on the content strategy of a premium brand in the context of ETON e-commerce store. The secondary purpose of the study provides the insight as to why brand message affects brand content strategy through various communication modes. The research set forth brand perspective to create an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms
