Popular Abstract in Swedish Polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) är ett samlingsnamn för ett antal kemiska föreningar. De utmärker sig genom att de har en god elektrisk isoleringsförmåga och tålighet för höga temperaturer, och de har därför använts i bl.a. transformatorer och kondensatorer men även som mjukgörare i plaster och färger. Sedan det visat sig att exponering för PCB innebar allvarliga hälsoeffPersistent organochlorine compounds (POC), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxins, are long-lived and highly lipophilic compounds which are present in all biota today. In Sweden, one of the major exposure routes for POC is through the consumption of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea, which is off the east coast of Sweden, and one of the most highly exposed populations is the fishermen's

The adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces of b-lactoglobulin (b-lg) A and B have been studied by in situ ellipsometry and related to the properties of these proteins in solution. At low temperatures (4-25°C) the adsorption of the b-lgs was found to be highly related to their self-association behaviour in solution. The adsorption isotherms at 25°C, both on methylated and hydrophilic silica, showed

The aim of this study is to compare knowledge-driven and data-driven methods for susceptibility mapping in spatial epidemiology. Our comparison focuses on one of the arguably most important requisites in such models, namely predictability. We compare one data-driven modelling method called Radial Basis Functional Link Net (RBFLN - a well-established Neural Network method) with two knowledge-driven

Temples in China participate in the competition for believers and are active players in the religious economy. The managers of the most successful new temples engage in strategic decision making about marketing, promotion, innovation, and public activities to increase the visibility and appeal of their temples. We illustrate with examples and data from our studies of eight new temples to the d

Popular Abstract in English Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms classified as fungi and consist of a number of species. The english word ‘yeast’ (as well as its equivalent in many other languages) is based on the words ’foam’ and ’to rise’ – and thus direct references to the fermentation process that produce beer and bread (Kurtzman et al., 2011). Some yeast species are known to be pathogens for The non-conventional wine and beer yeast Dekkera bruxellensis is of great interest for the food industry and academic research. This Crabtree-positive yeast is a good ethanol producer and can compete the baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in ethanol and pH tolerance and could be an even better organism for the biofuel production from alternative carbon sources. D. bruxellensis is considered t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett fonetogram är ett diagram som beskriver röstfunktionens status genom att visa extremvärden av ljudtrycksnivå som funktion av grundtonsfrekvens. Tillvägagångssättet är att försökspersonen uttalar en vokal, i denna avhandling genomgående vokalen [a], på en given tonhöjd så svagt och så starkt som möjligt inom hela röstomfånget. Provet utföres i ett ljudisolerat rum meA phonetogram is a diagram displaying sound pressure levels (SPL) of softest and loudest possible phonation over the entire fundamental frequency range (F0) of a voice. Female singers mean phonetogram had a significantly higher upper contour than female nonsingers. When reading at various voice levels female singers produced markedly higher mean equivalent sound pressure levels (Leq) and mean rel

The period from 1910 to 1930 was a time when a number of theoretical systems saw the light of the day in Central Europe: psychoanalysis, neopositivism, phenomenology, the Warsaw School of logic, Gestalt-psychology and the structuralism of the Prague School of Linguistics. The Prague School arose in the liberal-minded Prague of the 1920s and came to have an enormous influence on multiple fields wit

We describe an automatic system for pose-estimation from a single image in a city scene. Each building has a model consisting of a number of parallel planes associated with it. The homographies for the best match of the planes to the image is estimated automatically for each of the possible buildings. We show how the estimation of the homographies can be done effectively by reducing the search spa
