Popular Abstract in Swedish Non-invasiv kartläggning och klinisk implementering av det flimrande förmakets cykellängd, samt hur dylik cykellängd kan moduleras av autonoma nervsystemet och farmakologisk intervention Bakgrund Kroniskt förmaksflimmer är den vanligaste ihållande hjärtrytmrubbningen. Cirka 100.000 individer beräknas ha kroniskt förmaksflimmer i Sverige idag. Förmaksflimmer är vanligaAim: To non-invasively detect and explore the changes in atrial fibrillatory cycle length (i.e. changes in the atrial refractory period) in humans with chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) following autonomic modulation and pharmacological intervention. Furthermore we investigated if the value of the atrial fibrillatory cycle length could predict outcome following DC-cardioversion. Methods: The stud

This thesis presents the works on fabrication and measurements done with micro cantilevers and a micro channel system, fabricated in the photo-resist SU-8. SU-8 is a polymer patterned by UV lithography which offers a cheap and fast processing and is an interesting alternative to standard Si techniques. For the structures intended here, it proved to be a well suited material and promising results w

In this paper, the control of a continuous heat exchange reactor is investigated from a hybrid perspective with focus on the start-up phase and the transition to the optimal operating point. The temperature sensitive exothermic reaction leads to the possibility of multiple steady states and in combination with safety constraints forms an interesting challenge for a safe and efficient start-up. A s

The need for low-carbon transitions in the industrial sector is increasingly recognised by governments and industry. However, radical pathways for reaching near-zero emissions in the energy intensive basic materials industry are still relatively unexplored. Most studies focus on mitigation options that lead to marginal emission reductions, e.g., energy and materials efficiency improvements and som

Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom att använda Griselda Pollock och Rozsika Parkers metod för feministisk konstforskning, är syftet att (å ena sidan) presentera nya fakta om en tidigare ?okänd? kvinnlig konstnär och hennes konst samt (å andra sidan) att kritiskt diskutera och dekonstruera konsthistorieskrivningen, dess diskurser, kategoriseringsmodeller, värdegrunder, explicita eller implicita ideoThe main subject of this thesis is the art of Swedish artist Randi Fisher (1920-1997). She was educated at Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and mainly worked as a painter in many techniques. Textile art and public art cought her interest, and, from 1960 and onwards, stained glass painting. Even though the strong focus on one single artist may underline a biographical theme, the aim is to sh
