Grundläggning med "platta på mark" eller riktigare "bjälklag på jord" kan ske med kantförstyvad platta eller med platta och grundmurar. Enligt Svensk Byggnorm 67 är grundläggningsdjupet enligt huvudregeln 0,25 m. Grundläggningsdjup måste emellertid knytas till ett stort antal förutsättningar. Genom tillgång till datorberäkningsmetoder och stora datorer har det blivit möjligt att noga teoretiskt st
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här doktorsavhandlingen handlar om vad som händer när ljus lyser genom spridande material. Det viktigaste användningsområdet är inom medicin, men även tillämpningar inom atmosfärsmätningar berörs. Metoderna som är beskrivs är dessutom så generella att de kan användas för alla typer av spridande material, till exempel olika livsmedel, papper, plast, färg och rök. I eSpectroscopic analysis of scattering media is difficult because the effective path length of the light is non-trivial to predict when photons are scattered many times. The main area of research for such conditions is biological tissues, which scatter light because of variations of the refractive index on the cellular level. In order to analyze tissues to diagnose diseases, or predict doses during,
Denna fakultetsopposition ifrågasätter om bokbränningen, och inte snarare syndfrihetsläran var det centrala i erikjansismen, även om framställningen av bokbränningens progression här är en förtjänst. Wejryd använder skickligt Wilsons schismmodell, med tonvikt på den mobiliserande aktören, den utlösande faktorn och kyrkans sociala kontroll, kombinerad med Hirschmans termer exit (olämpligt översatt
This paper gives an overview of the Combustion Behaviour of Upholstered Furniture (CBUF) project. The work described is the collective effort of 11 CBUF partners, laboratories, universities, industries, in eight countries. It became possible to do this research thanks to the European Commission's interest in the burning behaviour of upholstered furniture and their willingness to sponsor this effor
The FRS-RISING set-up at GSI uses secondary radioactive beams at relativistic energies for nuclear structure studies. At GSI the fragmentation or fission of stable primary beams up to U-238 provide secondary beams with sufficient intensity to perform gamma-ray spectroscopy. The RISING set-up is described and results of the first RISING campaign are presented. New experimental methods at relativist
We have previously shown that metoclopramide potentiates the effect of ionizing radiation and cisplatin treatment of human squamous cell carcinomas from the head and neck region xenografted to nude mice. In the present tumor study, the dose scheduling of metoclopramide in combination with radiation was evaluated, and metoclopramide was shown to be most effective in potentiating the cytotoxic effec
Purpose: To present and test a new interpretative concept, the nerve fibre layer symmetry test (NST), for computerized evaluation of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in glaucoma. Methods: The NST concept was constructed and tested in a pilot study. A total of 32 healthy and 40 age-matched glaucomatous eyes were included and examined by O
Trace element interactions can affect the absorption, metabolism, or effects of elements. Also, different elements may derive from the same source. Associations in biological media between element concentrations may indicate such phenomena. A large number of correlations were found between 13 trace elements (Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Rh, Pd, Cd, W, Pt, Hg, Tl, and Pb) in human blood and/or serum, as inv
The family Parmeliaceae (Lecanorales, Ascomycota) is possibly the largest, best known and most thoroughly studied lichen family within its order. Despite this fact the relationship between Parmeliaceae and other groups in Lecanorales is still poorly known. The aim of the present study is to contribute to finding the sister group of Parmeliaceae as an aid in future studies on the phylogeny and char
Summary. Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often display symptoms from other diagnostic categories. Exclusion criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) impede the use of categorical diagnoses to de
During lactation serum levels of prolactin (PRL) are elevated, and the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is decreased in the adipose tissue and increased in the mammary gland. However, PRL has been suggested to affect the adipose tissue in an indirect fashion during lactation. In the present study, we demonstrated expression of four PRL receptor (PRLR) mRNA isoforms (L, I, S1(a), and S1(b)) in
The objective of the study was to determine the influence of potato variety, weight and storage time after lifting on the glycaemic index (GI) and resistant starch (RS) content predicted from measurement of the rate and extent of in vitro starch hydrolysis, respectively. The potatoes were either boiled, or boiled and subjected to different heat-cycling conditions selected to promote retrogradation
An operational definition of vulnerability is proposed. The definition is used to describe and analyse different methods for risk and vulnerability analysis. Several problems related to analysing the vulnerability of a complex sociotechnical system to a specific perturbation are identified and discussed. Suggestions of how risk- and vulnerability analyses can be performed for such systems are pres
The study evaluates the factor structure and predictive validity of the symptom questionnaire EUROQUEST (EQ) that had been developed with the goal of simplifying the evaluation of health effects associated with long-term solvent exposure. The EQ was added to the normal evaluation procedures for 118 male patients with suspected solvent-induced toxic encephalopathy (TE) referred to seven Swedish cli
Bird migration routes often follow detours where passages across ecological barriers are reduced in extent. This occurs in spite of the fact that long barrier crossings are within the birds' potential flight range capacity. Long-distance flights are associated with extra energy costs for transport of the heavy fuel loads required. This paper explores how important the fuel transport costs, estimat
Biomolecular recognition is often characterised by low affinity where many weak interactions work either alone or in concert, resulting in an inherent dynamic situation. For example the well-studied weak binding of cell-cell interactions is predominantly based on a range of carbohydrates that interact with numerous (protein) ligands. Finding appropriate binders to these carbohydrate structures may
