To reach its large computing needs, the ALICE experiment at CERN has developed its own middleware called AliEn, centralised and relying on pilot jobs. One of its strength is the automatic installation of the required packages. The Nordic countries have offered a distributed Tier-1 centre for the CERN experiments, where the job management should be done with the NorduGrid middleware ARC. We have de

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med min avhandling är att visa hur klass konstruerades språkligt i Svensk Damtidning i början av 1900-talet. Teoretiskt efterlyser jag en förnyelse av studier av klass, och skriver därmed in mig i de post-marxistiska och feministiska traditionerna. Ett viktigt mål på vägen är också att klarlägga dampressens status som historisk källa, inte minst genom en anaThe aim of my thesis is to demonstrate how class was constructed linguistically in Svensk Damtidning (Swedish Woman's Magazine) at the beginning of the 20th century. Theoretically, I call for a renewal of studies of class, thus joining the traditions of post-marxism and feminism. Research into language and class, strongly coloured by modernism, suggests that from the 19th century onwards people i

OBJECTIVES: To assess whether cancer incidence, mainly from lymphohaematopoietic tumours and breast cancer, and mortality were increased in a cohort of Swedish sterilant workers exposed to low levels of ethylene oxide (EtO), updated with 16 more years of follow up. METHODS: The mortality and cancer incidence 1972-2006 experienced by a cohort of 2,171 male and female workers employed for at least

Sedimentation of a suspension of small particles dispersed in a viscous fluid can be described by a scalar, nonlinear conservation law, whose flux function usually has one inflection point. The identification of the flux function is of theoretical interest and practical importance for plant-scale simulators of continuous sedimentation. For a real suspension, the Kynch test and the Diehl test, whic

The return sludge of one of the four treatment lines at oresundsverket WWTP in Sweden was subjected to ozonation in full-scale to reduce filamentous bulking sludge. The biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal capacity along with effluent parameters were studied throughout the trial. Samples were also taken to track possible changes in microbial population due to ozone. 2.8-5.0 g O-3 kg(-1) trea

The compound CaAgGe and its Mn-substituted derivative CaMn0.07Ag0.93Ge were synthesized by reaction of the element mixtures at high temperature. Their structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. CaAgGe crystallizes in the isomorphic (i(3)) superstructure of the TiNiSi type (CaCuGe type). The LMTO band structure calculations predicted the CaAgGe phase to be metallic. In addi

Nutrient over-enrichment is one of the classic triggering mechanisms for the occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms in aquatic ecosystems. In the Baltic Sea, cyanobacteria regularly occur in the late summer months and form nuisance accumulations in surface waters and their abundance has intensified significantly in the past 50 years attributed to human-induced eutrophication. However, the natural occu

Aqueous dispersions of pure sodium and calcium smectite clays with platelet sizes on the order of a few hundred nanometers were characterized using a combination of cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). With monovalent sodium counterions the clay is dispersed as individual platelets, as seen by cryo-TEM, that order into a nematic phase. From SAXS

The molecular beam epitaxial growth of PbTe nanowires oil GaAs(111)B substrates is reported. The growth process was based oil the Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. These nanowires grow along the [100] axis; they are perpendicular to the substrate, have tapered shapes, and have diameters of about 90 rim at the base and 60 run at the top. High resolution transmission electron microscopy pic

We test the idea that male colour polymorphism in a lizard (red vs. yellow headed) may be maintained by a female preference for associating (and presumably mating) with both male morphs rather than only one. In female choice experiments on single males of different colours, females did not preferentially associate with either morph. However, when females were allowed to choose between pairs of mal

Many studies of children and apes realized in psychology address issues that are highly relevant to semiotics, but they often do so indirectly, or they use a terminology that is confusing and/or too vague from a semiotical point of view. The studies reported here, however, follow the paradigm of these psychological studies, but they are couched in an explicit semiotical terminology. They involve t

The associations between floristic and palynological richness and landscape structure were studied based on modern pollen-vegetation data from a patchy cultural landscape in southern Estonia (northern temperate vegetation zone). Nine study sites (small lakes and their surrounding vegetation) represent land cover gradient from closed forest to semi-open vegetation. Floristic richness (number of spe

Lake Vattern, Sweden, is within a graben that formed through rifting along the boundary between two Precambrian terrains. Geophysical mapping and geological coring show that substantial tectonic movements along the Lake Vattern graben occurred at the very onset of the Holocene. This is evident from deformation structures in the soft sediment accumulated on the lake floor. Our interpretation of the

Objective. The purpose of the present analysis was to analyze and compare the cost-effectiveness of solifenacin flexible dosing (5-10 mg) with tolterodine 4 mg sustained release (SR) or placebo (assumed to be comparable to no treatment) for patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Design. A decision-analytic model was constructed. Methods. Costs and effects were evaluated for the three tre

Use of wood feedstocks for sugar-based biorefineries requires suitable treatments of the various tree fractions to optimize yields. In the current study, stem wood fractions (sapwood, heartwood and knotwood) were sampled at different heights from well-documented Scots pine trees taken from two contrasting stands. The fractions were assessed in terms of chemical composition, response to SO2-catalys
