Antropologen Christer Lindberg skildrar i denna bok västerlandets framställningar av indianer alltsedan Columbus dagar och sätter in våra föreställningar om dem i ett historiskt sammanhang. De enkla stereotyperna av den gode och den onde vilden präglas inte bara av förakt och nedvärdering utan också av beundran, avund och rädsla. Lindberg diskuterar fängslande förhållandet mellan "indianen" som ne

The electron structure of several highly charged ions, belonging to the Mg, Ne, Mn, Fe, Co, Ga and Ge isoelectronic sequences, has been experimentally studied by means of two techniques, beam-foil spectroscopy, BFS, and the spectroscopy of laser-produced plasmas, LPP. The investigations were carried out at Lund University, LU, in 1989-90 and at the China Institute of Atomic Energy, CIAE, Beijing,

Fokus för den föreliggande utvärderingen har legat på yttre effekter (d.v.s. om man gjort rätt saker) av forsknings- och utvecklingsprogrammet om fordons- och trafiksäkerhet kallat IVSS (Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems) och som pågick från år 2003 till år 2010. Utvärderingsgruppen genomförde en systematisk genomgång av ett urval (13) av slutrapporter för enstaka IVSS projekt. Det gjordes vidar

Popular Abstract in English Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms classified as fungi and consist of a number of species. The english word ‘yeast’ (as well as its equivalent in many other languages) is based on the words ’foam’ and ’to rise’ – and thus direct references to the fermentation process that produce beer and bread (Kurtzman et al., 2011). Some yeast species are known to be pathogens for The non-conventional wine and beer yeast Dekkera bruxellensis is of great interest for the food industry and academic research. This Crabtree-positive yeast is a good ethanol producer and can compete the baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in ethanol and pH tolerance and could be an even better organism for the biofuel production from alternative carbon sources. D. bruxellensis is considered t

We describe an automatic system for pose-estimation from a single image in a city scene. Each building has a model consisting of a number of parallel planes associated with it. The homographies for the best match of the planes to the image is estimated automatically for each of the possible buildings. We show how the estimation of the homographies can be done effectively by reducing the search spa

Power systems are a vital infrastructure for the functioning of the society, generally regarded as one of the most critical infrastructures. Past power system blackouts (e.g., the Canadian ice-storm and New-Zeeland Power outage in 1998, the U.S. blackout in 2003, the European blackout in 2006 and the Indian blackout in 2012) have revealed the inherent vulnerabilities of power systems as well as th

Eight users have tried the Manus arm at the Department of Rehabilitation at Lund University Hospital. The user trials were carried out in close co-operation with Certec at Lund University. After the trials one of the users, Ms Eva Gerdé, decided to buy a Manus arm, and she received her Manus arm in November 1998. The main objective of the user trials was to find out how robot technology could

Building as many houses as possible in a factory environment seems like an effective way to systematically reduce productivity costs and improve quality in the building process. Based on this idea, a Swedish company has manufactured modules consisting of one or several rooms that were transported and assembled into multi family dwellings onsite. This paper analyses different improvements regarding
