Observer-based Strict Positive Real (SPR) Switching Output Feedback Control
This paper considers switching output feedback control of linear systems and variablestructure systems. Theory for stability analysis and design for a class of observer-based feedback control systems is presented. It is shown how a circlecriterion approach can be used to design an observerbased state feedback control which yields a closedloop system with speci ed robustness characteristics. The ap
Macromolecular crowding and its conequences
Incompatible pairs of polymers separate into two phases in aqueous solution above a few percentage points total concentration. Protein pairs can also produce phase separation, but at somewhat higher concentrations. In this chapter, we explore the effect of high background concentrations of macromolecules on phase separation of pairs of species which would not be at sufficiently high concentration
Hur dokumenteras ett dokument? : om kravspecifikationer för materiell bibliografi och immateriell textkritik
A discussion of the different and often conflicting demands on the documentation of documents posed by material bibliography and immaterial textual criticism.
Antigen-independent binding of rat immunoglobulins in a radioimmunoassay. Solutions to an unusual background problem
A high non-specific binding of immunoglobulins to plastic surfaces was noted with a number of rat sera, when tested in an indirect 125I-labeled protein-A assay for detection of cell-surface-bound rat immunoglobulins of various classes and IgG subclasses. This type of non-specific binding was found with all types of Ig. The degree of binding varied with the type of test plate used and fluctuated wi
On Bounds and Asymptotics of Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Filtering, Smoothing, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation in State Space Models
This thesis is based on four papers (A-D) treating filtering, smoothing, and maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in general state space models using stochastic particle filters (also referred to as sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods). The aim of Paper A is to study the bias of Monte Carlo integration estimates produced by the so-called bootstrap particle filter. A bound on this bias which is inv

Extinction and recovery patterns of the vegetation across the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary - a tool for unravelling, the causes of the end-Permian mass-extinction
High-resolution palynofloral signatures through the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary succession show several features in common with the Permian-Triassic transition but there are also important differences. Southern Hemisphere Cretaceous-Palaeogene successions, to date studied at high resolution only in New Zealand, reveal a diverse palynoflora abruptly replaced by fungi-dominated assemblages that a
Iron-related luminescence centers in ZnWO4 : Fe
A systematic spectroscopic study of single ZnWO4 :Fe crystals with different iron concentrations has been performed under excitation by ultraviolet light, by synchrotron radiation or under photostimulation by near-infrared light. The luminescence of Fe3+-related centres has been studied. It is shown that iron centres of different types efficiently promote the formation of crystal defects at low te
Conventional and metal-directed synthesis of homodinuclear and heterotrinuclear complexes of homoditopic and heteroditopic ligands incorporating bpy and tpy metal-binding domains
Strategies for the preparation of multinuclear complexes containing homoditopic and heteroditopic ligands based upon 2,2$-bipyridine (bpy) and 2,2:6$,2$$-terpyridine metal binding domains are presented. Both conventional approaches based upon preparation of a free ligand and subsequent coordination and metal-directed reactions of coordinated ligands are utilized in the various strategies. A repres
Standardization of p-creatinine assays and use of lean body mass allow improved prediction of calculated glomerular filtration rate in adults: A new equation
Objective. To evaluate the Cockcroft - Gault (CG) equation, using various body weight expressions, and the Sawyer equation in predicting glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using an enzymatic and zero-calibrated Jaffe plasma-creatinine assay, and to derive a new robust equation in adults. Material and methods. The CG weight measures included total, ideal and adjusted body weight (ABW; lowest of total
Practical Issues in the Implementation of Self-Tuning Control
Application of Ultra-fast Timing Techniques to the Study of Exotic and Weakly Produced Nuclei
Ultra-fast time-delayed techniques have been recently applied in a number of studies where exotic nuclei were identified using advanced selection techniques. These include large Compton-suppressed Ge arrays, in-flight separators or recoil separators. Some of the new results are discussed in this presentation. Besides the results for Mg-32 and Pd-96, they include the first determination of the half

Female gender is associated with higher incidence and more stable respiratory symptoms during adolescence
Childhood asthma and wheeze is more common among boys than girls, white the opposite is found in adults. The main objective was to study the incidence and the course of wheeze and asthma during adolescence with focus on gender differences. In addition, we explored associations between lifestyle factors at baseline and wheeze at follow-up. A total of 2399 adolescents answered validated questionnair

Normal labor associated with changes in uterine heparan sulfate proteoglycan expression and localization
Proteoglycans are well-known modulators of intercellular communication and signaling. Remodeling of the proteoglycans in the human uterus occurs throughout pregnancy, and during labor. We therefore hypothesize that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play an important role in establishing normal labor. In this study HSPGs were characterized and localized in human uterine tissue. Uterine biopsies
FOXC2 and CAPN10 as candidate genes for obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av fetma ökar lavinartat över hela världen, Sverige inte undantaget, och detta är en stor bidragande orsak till att antalet fall av typ 2 diabetes tilltar på ett liknande sätt. Både fetma och typ 2 diabetes är sjukdomar med ett komplicerat mönster av samverkande genetiska och miljömässiga faktorer. Drabbade individer har en klart ökad risk att drabbas av hjäThe worldwide prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly. Both disorders depend on genetic and environmental factors. The studies included in this thesis investigated the possible association of the FOXC2 and CAPN10 genes with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and related phenotypes. FOXC2 encodes a forkhead transcription factor, which was identified as a key regul
