Abstract in Spanish Un enfoque adecuado para intentar una definición de las tecnologías nos las brinda el término “usabilidad”, es decir las propiedades de un artefacto que afectan a su interacción con el usuario. En ingeniería, la calidad de un artefacto está determinada por dos cualidades: su utilidad y su facilidad de uso o usabilidad. Desde nuestra perspectiva la utilidad depende de la relació

Several approaches towards the optimization of amperometric biosensors using a soluble mediator in combination with reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) were studied. RVC material was used as the working electrode with biomolecules (enzyme/co-enzyme) immobilised on its surface and intergrated with a FIA system. By using the soluble electron transfer mediator Meldola Blue the oxidation potentials for

In this paper we address the problem of projective reconstruction of structure and motion given only image data. In particular we investigate three novel minimal combinations of points and lines over three views, and give complete solutions and reconstruction methods for two of these cases: "four points and three lines in three views", and "two points and six lines in three views". We show that in

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att en multicellulär organism som männinskan ska kunna fungera måste celldelningen strikt kontrolleras. Protein som reglerar celldelning på cellulär nivå kallas för "tillväxtfaktorer". Vi har studerat ett sådant protein som kallas för transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-b). Namnet TGF-b kommer sig utav att detta protein kan transformera (omvandla) epiteliala njurceTransforming growth factor-beta (TGF-b) is a well-characterised growth regulatory factor, which acts on most cell types. This thesis has focused on the regulatory roles of TGF-b on normal lymphocytes. One interesting finding is that TGF-b acts both costimulatory and inhibitory on T-lymphocytes. The costimulatory effect depends on the presence of monocytes and is mediated by these cells. Furthermor

Governments attempting to regulate labour markets and control immigration are confronted with difficult questions. In the past, there was general agreement that the asylum system should not be exploited as a side entrance to the labour market. The two systems—asylum and labour market—were to be planned and maintained separately. But if migration is a prerequisite for asylum, does not increasingly

Six depression rating scales, GDS, Zung, CES-D, CPRS-D and Cornell, were compared in 40 patients. The validity was good for all scales except for the Cornell scale. A comprehensive investigation was done in 116 elderly stroke patients. There was no difference in prevalence and severity of post-stroke depression in relation to side of lesion. A test for receptive aphasia, the Token test, showed tha
