Evaluation of soft magnetic mouldable composite core motors

The objective of this paper is to evaluate a single-phase claw pole machine where the magnetic core is made of a soft magnetic mouldable composite material ((SMC)-C-2). (SMC)-C-2 has low permeability but also very low remagnetization losses, which makes this kind of material very suitable for high frequency applications. Therefore, the high speed characteristics of the single-phase claw-pole machi

Experimental Stroke and Neurotrophins: Regulation, function and gene transfer of neurotrophins in rat and mouse models of focal cerebral ischemia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är den tredje vanligaste dödsorsaken och den vanligaste orsaken till neurologiskt handikapp. Idag är möjligheten att motverka skadeutvecklingen vid stroke begränsad. Experimentella modeller för stroke innebär att vi kan studera mekanismer för nervcellsskada vid patologiskt sänkta blodflödesnivåer (ischemi). I våra studier har mellersta hjärnartären på ena sidan tStroke caused by focal cerebral ischemia is a major cause of death and neurological disability in humans. The forebrain region most commonly affected by ischemic incidents is that supplied by the middle cerebral artery. In this thesis, neuronal cell death has been investigated using immunohistochemistry for identification of specific neurons and unbiased counting methods after transient occlusion

Romantik i välfärdsstaten : metamorfosförfattarna och den svenska samtiden

Efter krigets och ångestens fyrtiotal vände sig den svenska litteraturen mot den ljusa romantiken, heter det i handböckerna. Paul Tenngarts studier av fem svenska författare med rötter i den legendariska Metamorfoskretsen - Paul Andersson, Lasse Söderberg, Svante Foerster, Petter Bergman och Birgitta Stenberg - ger en annan bild, där romantiken är samhällskritisk med udden riktad mot folkhemsbygge

Gaining competitive advantage through information technology. A resource-based approach to the creation and employment of strategic IT resources

Information technology is a central phenomenon in modern society. It is widely used in a variety of settings and commercial firms use it for a variety of purposes. It could be an Internet application, a manufacturing system, office support software, electronic data interchange or something else, applied in order to create economic benefits through improvements of operative work tasks and business

Resistivity investigation and monitoring for detection of internal erosion and anomalous seepage in embankment dams

Methods for monitoring seepage and detecting internal erosion are essential for the safety evaluation of embankment dams. Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures, and there are several tenths of thousands of large embankment dams in the world. Internal erosion is progressing inside the dam, and is sometimes difficult to detect by conventional methods. Therefore, th

Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy – Laser Spectroscopy in Unconventional Environments

An overview of the new field of Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is presented. The GASMAS technique combines narrow-band diode-laser spectroscopy with optical propagation in diffuse media. Whereas solids and liquids have broad absorption features, free gas in pores and cavities in the material is characterized by sharp spectral signatures. These are typically 10,000 times s

Nucleic Acids as Drug Targets -Interactions of Platinum Complexes, Polyamines, and siRNA with DNA and RNA Models

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar modellsystem för farmaka som har DNA och RNA som mål i cellen. Framförallt behandlar den hur strukturen hos DNA och RNA påverkas av inbindning av olika substanser, samt hur fort denna inbindning sker. Tre olika typer av farmaka behandlas: 1. Platinaföreningar som länge använts som cytostatika, 2. RNA interferens som främst har utvecklats undDrugs targeting nucleic acids were studied in DNA and RNA model systems. The effects were investigated with respect to structural and thermodynamic influence, kinetics, and biological function. The drugs employed in this thesis were anticancer active platinum(II) complexes, polyamine derivatives, and siRNA. Structural changes were determined by use of chemical probing and circular dichroism (CD),

Introduktion till verksamhetsteori

Verksamhetsteori erbjuder ett kvalitetsverktyg som gör att forskare från olika discipliner och praktiker från olika verksamhetsfält kan mötas i både analys och genomförande. Introduktion till verksamhetsteori ger en överblick över den kulturhistoriska verksamhetsteorins tillkomst, från Vygotskij, Luria och Leontiev fram till våra dagars spännande riktningar inom pedagogik, organisationsteori och

I ett andetag : En kulturanalys av astma som begränsning och möjlighet

Though asthma is a commonly occurring disorder today, the development and introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs in treating it has changed the possibilities of living with it. At the same time, the Swedish guidelines for asthma care have changed: the patient is to take responsibility for her or his chronic illness to attain full quality of life. The study aims to make a cultural analytical inves

Subjective Indoor Air Quality in Hospitals - The Influence of Building Age, Ventilation Flow, and Personal Factors

Relationships between subjective perception of indoor air quality, building characteristics, indoor exposures, and personal factors were studied in 225 female Swedish hospital workers. The prevalence of weekly complaints to do with dry air was 87% for air dryness, and 36% for static electricity. Such com plaints were more common in new and well ventilated buildings. The sensa tion of air dryness w
