Internal Bremsstrahlung Accompanying the Positon Decay of 82Rb

The internal bremsstrahlung from the positon decay of 82Rb has been measured in the energy ranges 0.95-1.3 and 1.7-2.0 MeV. The measured intensity was about twice the value predicted by the charge-independent theory. The external bremsstrahlung produced in stopping the positons in Be, C and Al has been measured in the same energy intervals. Energies and intensities of the γ-rays from 82Rb have bee

Time travel using 3D-methodologies : visualizing the medieval context of a batismal font

Time travel is often associated with popular mediation. This article demonstrates how time travel using digital visualization may also be a useful tool doing research. The case study is the medieval cathedral and monastery of Dalby in Sweden with a 12th century crypt and font. The crypt may have functioned as a baptismal chapel in the Middle Ages. Digital 3 D techniques including terrestrial laser

Polarization transfer solid-state NMR for studying soft matter: From surfactants to the stratum corneum

Popular Abstract in English The word “motion” usually brings to mind movement from point A to point B. In the world of chemistry, this kind of motion is typically referred to as translational motion. Its consequences are experienced by us every time we smell a scent in the air or watch a dye spread in water. The fragrance is nothing else than molecules that fly in the air. Colour is molecules swimThe work presented in this thesis is dedicated to theoretical development, experimental testing and application of polarization transfer solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (PT ssNMR). PT ssNMR is an analytical tool which provides detailed information about molecular mobility in model or simple soft matter systems at the low water content regime, enabling the creation of phase diagrams. Soft ma

A Sustainability Assessment of the Urban Rehabilitation Project of the Medina of Fez, Morocco

The old city of Fez, Morocco, classified as Heritage of Humankind by the UNESCO, is subject to an integrated rehabilitation plan running over 15 years. The plan aims at restoring and preserving the economy, cultural value, and social heritage of the old city. The study follows a system dynamics approach to describe and analyze the rehabilitation plan in order to identify the strengths and defects

Ett levande förflutet – kulturarv och rekonstruktion

This article shows a range of ways how to bring the past to life with the aid of full-scale reconstructions. During the past century a broad variety of strategies to bring the past to life in a physical sense have been used in connection with cultural heritage sites. This text shows examples of these strategies and reflects upon the public impact of different ways of reconstructing buildings and o

Computer implementation of the genitive in Latvian

Latvian is one of the Baltic languages, a subclass of the Indo-European family. It is a flectional language and has a rich system of morphology, including seven cases and two numbers. Word order in a Latvian noun phrase can in general be characterized as head final. A genitive in Latvian is used as a tool to bind nouns in a noun phrase and express possession, except with verbal nouns where the gen

Molecular Genetic Studies of the Blood Group ABO Locus in Man

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodgruppering med genteknik - studier av ABO-systemets arvsanlag Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Blodtransfusioner som utfördes före sekelskiftet slutade ofta med svåra komplikationer och i många fall patientens död. Scenariot förändrades dramatiskt till det bättre i och med den österrikiske läkaren Karl Landsteiners upptäckt av blodgruppssystemet ABO (The ABO blood group system is undoubtedly the most important genetic and phenotypic marker in clinical transfusion medicine. The A and B determinants are immunodominant, terminally located carbohydrate residues of glycoconjugates on erythrocytes and other cell surfaces. The enzymes responsible for assembly of these structures are glycosyltransferases encoded by the ABO genes on chromosome nine. T

No Island is an "Island": Some Perspectives on Human Ecology and Development in Oceania

It has often been argued that the Earth is like an island in space and that its brittleness is most clearly reflected on small islands in the oceans. Easter Island, in particular, with its largely depleted resources, has been seen as a microcosmic warning about what could happen to our entire planet. However, the analogy of the Earth and islands with finite natural resources is not self-evident fr
