This report has been compiled within the framework of the programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries (RAPIDC), Phase III conducted during the period 2005-2008. RAPIDC is funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation (INEC) of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). It is coordinated by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and car

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arcanobacterium haemolyticum (A. haemolyticum) beskrevs för första gången under namnet Corynebacterim haemolyticum av MacLean och medarbetare 1946. Bakterien odlades fram från svalget hos patienter med halsont och från sår. Patienterna bestod av amerikanska soldater och infödda öbor i Stilla havet. Från olika delar av världen har senare beskrivits halsont och utslag hosIn an 18-month period all throat cultures in our laboratory were examined for Arcanobacterium haemolyticum and clinical information was obtained. The great majority of the patients suffered from pharyngitis or tonsillitis, accompanied by a rash in 46% of cases. One third of the patients had a history of recurrent tonsillitis. Three types of exanthema was described, scarlatiniform, urticarial and e

In this paper we propose a framework for the testing of system-on-chip (SOC), which includes a set of design algorithms to deal with test scheduling, test access mechanism design, test sets selection, test parallelization, and test resource placement. The approach minimizes the test application time and the cost of the test access mechanism while considering constraints on tests, power consumption

An analysis of long-term fading properties of 4×4 CW MIMO channels is presented in this paper. The main focus has been on the long-term variability of MIMO channels in urban cellular environments, with emphasis on the decorrelation distance over mid range distances along the mobile trajectory for different base station antenna heights. A model that characterizes the decorrelation distance at diffe

Based on detailed 2D and 3D numerical radiation hydrodynamicscalculations of time-dependent compressible convection, we have studiedthe dynamics and thermal structure of the convective surface layers of aprototypical late-type M-dwarf at Teff=2800 K, and log g=5.0with solar chemical composition. The thermal structure of the atmosphereis dominated by molecular absorption, the formation of dust grai

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modeller för proteinveckning utvecklas och tillämpas på peptider och små proteiner som har både α-helix- och β-blad-struktur. Energifunktionerna, i vilka effektiva hydrofobicitetskrafter och vätebindningar är de två centrala termerna, är helt sekvensbaserade och har medvetet hållits enkla. Den geometriska representationen av proteinkedjorna är däremot detaljerad och harModels for potein folding are developed and applied to peptides and small proteins with both α-helix and β-sheet structure. The energy functions, in which effective hydrophobicity forces and hydrogen bonds are taken to be the two central terms, are sequence-based and deliberately kept simple. The geometric representations of the protein chains are, by contrast, detailed and have torsion angles as

Chondroitin (CS) and dermatan sulphate (DS) are socalled glycosaminoglycans (GAG) that are covalently attached to various type of proteins forming a subgroup within the diverse proteoglycan (PG) family. The PGs studied in this thesis are mostly extracellularly located and include aggrecan, biglycan and decorin. The CS and DS chains both consist of repeating disaccharides of the type (hexuronic aci
