On film critic Robin Wood's views on horror movies.

In the thesis, that has its basis in my educational work at Malmö Theatre Academy, I discuss how actors in training solve the problem of embodying the role ? how they, from their ideas, feelings, thoughts and knowledge create the physical actions of the role. My discussion has its basis in how the training in acrobatics can form a sort of model for the strategies needed by the actor to perform on

Three novel tetracyclic terpenoids, of which two possess potent cytotoxic activities towards various mammalian cell lines, were isolated front extracts of the fermentation broth of the ascomycete Dasayscyphus niveus. The structures of the compounds, named dasyscyphins A-C, were determined with spectroscopic techniques. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This article focuses on bone cement, the cementing technique used, and their influence on aseptic loosening and infection of acrylic and joint implants in Scandinavia.

Gamma ray spectroscopy of neutron deficient nuclei close to the doubly magic nucleus Sn-100 has been performed using a heavy-ion reaction and the NORDBALL Ge-detector array. Evaporation residues were identified by means of charged particle and neutron detection. Transitions in 31 different evaporation residues were identified. New results on Cd-102 are presented.

This paper presents a microcalorimetric technique to simultaneously measure water activity and enthalpy of mixing (differential heat of sorption) as functions of composition at high water activities. The instrument consists of a sorption vessel in a double twin microcalorimeter. A sample at high water activity is placed in one chamber of the vessel and an unsaturated salt solution is injected into

SelB is a bacterial elongation factor required for the decoding of a UGA stop codon together with a specific mRNA hairpin to selenocysteine. In attempts to crystallize Moorella thermoacetica SelB, a proteolysis process occurred and crystals of a proteolytic fragment were observed. The crystals, which appeared after a year, contained a C-terminal 30 kDa fragment containing the mRNA-binding domain.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, critical for B-cell development and function. Mutations that inactivate this kinase were found in families with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). In this study the Btk gene was analyzed in 13 registered Greek patients with XLA phenotype originated from 12 unrelated families, in order to provide a definite diagnosis of the XLA. The

On the origin, use and dating of the customary of the cathedral chapter of Lund, i.e. the Consuetudines Lundenses. I have argued that the consuetudines were used by the canons from 30 June 1123 at the latest, the day of inauguration of the crypt church. This seems even more plausible as the prototype of the text, i.e. the Consuetudines Marbacenses, were recently antedated. Furthermore, these circu

One important property of materials is their moisture fixation capacity, i.e., their ability to hold moisture at different relative humidities. The sorption isotherm is one of the main input data in moisture diffusion models, and it can also be used to evaluate properties of the microstructure. We have used four different methods to measure the sorption isotherm of sandstone and porous glass. The

Objective: Lately, desmopressin (dDAVP) administered orally has been demonstrated to be an effective alternative in the management of nocturia in adults. Although the safety profile of dDAVP is well known, much of the experience originates from studies in enuretic children and younger adults, and it may not be readily extrapolated to elderly patients. In order to identify factors associated with a

A two-stage procedure for pretreatment of fast-growing willow with steam has been investigated. The first stage was performed at temperatures in the range 180°C to 220°C for times between 6 and 10 minutes while the second stage was performed at 220°C for 10 minutes. The fibrous material was washed between the two stages to remove the pentosans and thus increase the pentose yield. The pretreatment

I denna skrift ges en heltäckande beskrivning av de byggnadsfysikaliska förhållandena i konstruktioner med golv på mark. Olika fuktbelastningar och deras konsekvenser beskrivs i detalj. Stor vikt läggs vid att skapa förståelse för olika byggnadsfysikaliska samband, speciellt mellan värme och fukt. Vidare tillämpas fuktdimensioneringsmetodiken på tre noggrant beskrivna grundkonstruktioner
