This chapter provides a brief introduction into the basic nonlinear-optical phenomena and discusses some of the most significant recent advances and breakthroughs in nonlinear optics, as well as novel applications of nonlinear-optical processes and devices. Nonlinear optics is the area of optics that studies the interaction of light with matter in the regime where the response of the material syst

Despite the increasing research activity on structural use of glass in the past years, there is still a lack of comprehensive design codes and standards linked to real-life applications on a structural level. However, more and more ambitious buildings and structures are built every year. Thus the knowledge is out there. The aim of the presented project is to collect data on the existing design phi

The study of spatial frequency is being used increasingly often to investigate processes underlying visual word recognition. However, research in this area has adopted techniques that require the physical deformation of word targets used in experiments (e.g., filtered images of words, words embedded in visual noise), and this approach may limit the inferences that can be made about the role of spa

Raman scattering is a possible technique for analysing gas mixtures. In the work here described Raman scattering was used for detection of gases extracted from different model fires, where wood, polymethylmetachrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene were used as test materials. Raman spectra of gas samples from differently ventilated model fires are presented as well as the variation of O2, CO2 and CO conc

I en samling biografiska essäer får vi på nytt möta kvinnorna och männen bakom de stora verken om mänskligheten, bland andra Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Bronislaw Malinowski, Marcel Mauss, Edmund Leach, Claude Lévi–Strauss, Pierre Bourdieu. Odyssén i tid och rum spänner över två sekel från Amazonas och Bali till universitetsvärlden i Oxford, New York och Paris. Nya antropologiska por

Anna Vasa (1568-1625), dotter till Johan III och Katarina Jagellonica, levde en stor del av sitt liv vid brodern Sigismunds hov i Polen. Sjuklig och utan egen familj som hon var, tydde hon sig till familjen Gyllenstierna och fann glädje i att på alla sätt engagera sig som dess välgörare. Vid 1990-talets slut hittades 24 dittills okända brev, skrivna på svenska, från prinsessan Anna till Sigrid och

Popular Abstract in Swedish Organiska syraanhydrider (OSA) är reaktiva kemikalier med låg molekylvikt som används industriellt vid produktion av olika plaster, främst så kallade polyestrar och epoxiplaster. Där används de bland annat för att tvärbinda polymerer, det vill säga molekyler bestående av långa kedjor där små enheter av samma struktur upprepas. Det har visat sig att personer som exponeraOrganic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are low molecular weight chemicals used in the industry for manufacturing of plastics such as epoxy resins. Exposure to these chemicals may lead to symptoms from the eyes and the respiratory tract in form of conjunctivitis, rhinitis and asthma. In many workers production of specific IgE antibodies are induced suggesting that a type-1 allergy mediated mechanism is inv
