Wearer trials with human subjects were included in the Subzero project in order to validate the manikins' data against practice. Physiological tests of the project were aimed to study hu-man subjects at thermal comfort or being slightly warm in cold: 0, -10, -25 and wind-chill temperature –50 ºC. Wind-chill temperature –50 was achieved by combination of 2 tempera-tures and wind velocities: -40 ºC

Introduktion till bokens del 2, kallad Framtidens perspektiv - från vilket håll? där olika sätt att se på arkeologins framtid i Sverige introduceras av författaren genom en presentation av artikelförfattarna och deras teser om arkeologins framtid.

During the past decade, production of products has increasingly been relocated to countries outside the western industrialised area, while consumption of the same products in the west has increased to a considerable extent. Implementation of national policies for limiting the environmental and health impacts of production has encountered a number of difficulties as a result. Policy instruments, no

In 2009 the MAX IV facility was granted funding by Swedish authorities. Construction of the facility will begin this summer and user operation is expected by 2015. MAX IV will consist of a 3.4 GeV linac as a driver for a short-pulse radiation facility (with planned upgrade to a seeded/cascaded FEL) as well as an injector for two storage rings at different energies serving user communities in separ

We compare the performance of different detection schemes in terms of resulting pairwise error probability in Rayleigh-fading channels. We introduce a unified analysis framework used to compare sensitivity to Doppler and noise. The analyzed methods include: pilot symbol assisted modulation, differential detection, multiple-symbol differential detection and detection using superposed pilot symbols.

Abstract in Danish Kapitlet indkredser, beskriver og problematiserer begrebet patientologi. Patientologi betyder videnskab om det at være patient; altså viden der sigter på at gøre os klogere på det at være patient; ikke viden der i første instans sigter på at gøre noget bedre eller anderledes for patienter inden for et fags rammer. Med afsæt i amerikaneren Pamela Brink kan patientologi forstås so

The thesis Med Lenin på byrån (With Lenin on the drawer) studies magazines produced by the Swedish communist movement during the inter-war years and has two aims; firstly to determine if (and how) class-norms were constructed through descriptions of gender and sexuality, and secondly if (and how) norms regarding gender and sexuality were constructed through descriptions of class. One of the underl

Natural products have been shown to be an important source of novel compounds for the development of new drugs and pesticides. However, many biologically active natural products contain reactive functionalities that make them toxic. By modifying such reactive compounds chemically it is possible to make use of the reactivity to form novel "natural product-like" compounds and at the same time reduce
