We present experimental measurements of attosecond pulse trains. The characterization of the pulses uses a spectral interferometry technique that is implemented with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. This allows us to manipulate independently the pump and probe pulses for a wide range of applications. By letting the attosecond pulses pass through metallic films, we can in particular compensate for th
Popular Abstract in Swedish I de flesta reglerproblem är syftet att hålla utsignalen nära ett önskat värde trots störningar som påverkar systemet. Ibland är det bästa referensvärdet inte känt i förväg. I stället skall det hittas i realtid för att optimera systemets prestanda. Denna avhandling behandlar en så kallade probing-strategi som kan tillämpas för denna klass av problem. Fokus ligger i tillIn most control problems the objective is to control the output at a desired value in spite of disturbances. In some cases, the best setpoint is not known a priori and it should be found online to optimize the process performance. This thesis examines a probing strategy that can be applied for this class of problems. The focus is on the application of the technique to the control of feed supply in
The small-scale variability and scaling properties of solute transport dynamics were investigated by laboratory experiments. Dye-stained water was applied at a constant flux in a Plexiglas Hele-Shaw cell filled with soil material, and the transport process was registered by digital photographs of the cell front, producing a very high resolution in both time (minutes) and space (millimeters). The e
Two patients with a costoclavicular joint were discovered by chance during a survey of cervical spines. These seem to be the first to be described in the radiological literature. No other case was found in a further review of 500 consecutive spine radiographs. The costoclavicular joint is a variant of the ligamentous connection between the medial part of the clavicle and the first rib.
A model for the web consolidation process in the paper dryer is developed and compared with experimental data for the kraft pulps. The model contains one parameter called the shrinkage factor which is used as the fitting parameter to the experimental data. The shrinkage factor can have a value between zero implying no shrinkage and a value of one which implies that all the liquid volume removed le
We propose an inherently origin invariant formulation of specific optical rotation obtained from the conventional velocity gauge expression by subtracting the static limit from the electric dipole-magnetic dipole polarizability: <<(p) over right arrow, (L) over right arrow >>(omega) --> <<(p) over right arrow, (L) over right arrow >>(omega) - <<(p) over right arrow, (L) over right arrow >>(0).

We have implemented a non-null type checker for Java and a new non-null inferencing algorithm for analyzing legacy code. The tools are modular extensions to the JastAdd extensible Java compiler, illustrating how pluggable type systems can be achieved. The resulting implementation is compact, less than 230 lines of code for the non-null checker and 460 for the inferencer. Non-null checking is a loc
Electrochemical CV and SWV studies were performed with double stranded DNA from salmon testes (dsDNA) and single stranded DNAs, containing 25 nucleotides (ssDNA) directly adsorbed at polycrystalline An electrodes. A distinct oxidation peak at + 730 mV (SWV, scan rate 0.248 V s(-1)) or at + 730 - + 780 mV (CV, scan rate from 0.3 to 1 V s(-1)) was obtained with DNA-modified Au electrodes after a tim
The advantages of using a detailed mathematical model for fixed bed chromatography is demonstrated by the personal computer program SIMCHROM. The chromatography model includes axial dispersion in the bulk liquid, external and internal mass transfer resistances and an instationary non-linear adsorption model. Frontal and pulse chromatography can be studied for single and multicomponent systems. The
The reactive vascular-injuring amino acid homocysteine was previously shown to be increased in plasma in diabetic patients with clinical signs of nephropathy. In this study, plasma homocysteine was measured in type 1 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (n = 22), microalbuminuria (n = 40) and proteinuria (n = 14) in order to investigate whether plasma homocysteine levels are increased already a
Background: Soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) is a marker of activation of vascular endothelium. Objective: To examine serum levels of sE-selectin in a cohort of 85 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) followed up for five years. Methods: sE-selectin levels were assessed annually using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and related to simultaneously obtained clinical and laborato
