Three methods are suggested to identify and quantify flashback and flash forward events based on chemiluminescence recordings of swirling flames. The approaches differ in the procedure to determine the instantaneous flame position. The results revealed that the most robust method is to determine a threshold relative to the instantaneous maximum intensity. Analysis of the complete dataset indicated

Parts of large spiral galaxies, such as the Milky Way and Andromeda, are believed to have formed from the accretion of several smaller galaxies. Remnants of this chaotic merging era, such as dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, are visible in the outskirts of large galaxies. dSph galaxies are characterized by their low luminosity, low surface brightness and high fraction of dark matter. Determining t

The flexion of the verb in the Norwegian language for the indicative mood present tense has only one morphologic form, no matter the person and the number. The Punjabi language (spoken by more than 90 million people) is an Indo-Arian language (an immense subgroup of the Indo-Iranian languages, having more than 900 million speakers). The Punjabi language is closely related to Romany (Gipsy) languag

Methods to collect rain water and prevent runoff in agricultural areas are described. The distribution of solutes in soil columns is is investigated in several environments.

The dissertation seeks to problematize the public debate which in recent years has made many people interested in and committed to the region. The empirical basis of the study is some of the regions of southern Sweden which have served as an important platform in the last thirty or forty years when the political and economic establishment has acted and argued in various contexts. The fundamental q

Was there a connection between St. Mauritius and the oldest church in Dalby and what is the evidence for such a supposition? And, if such a connection can be established, what can be concluded about its impact on the formation and character of the ecclesiastical setting of early medieval Dalby? The idea about a connection between St. Mauritius and the oldest church in Dalby was introduced by the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cytokrom P450 är en grupp enzymer som introducerar alkoholgrupper i främst icke-vattenlösliga ämnen. Alkoholgupperna gör dessa föreningar mer vattenlösliga och känsliga för fortsatta reaktioner. Cytokrom P450-enzymer återfinns i de tre domäner allt levande kan indelas i: eukaryoter (djur, växter, svampar, protozoer m.m.), bakterier och arkeér (ett slags bakterier som skCytochromes P450 constitute a super-family of heme containing mixed function mono-oxygenases that is found in all branches of life. They introduce single oxygen atoms, mostly in the form of hydroxyl groups, into lipophilic substances and thereby render them more hydrophilic and susceptible to further reactions. Little is known about the bacterial cytochromes P450. I have in my thesis given an over

In normal light-in-flight holography the largest time difference that can be created in the image is when the reference light falls nearly parallel with the photographic plate. In that case, where the pulse front is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, the time scale on the plate is given by the speed of light. Thus the time it takes for the reference light to go from one side of the pla

This chapter discusses ethical concerns when conducting fieldwork on a sensitive topic in a development setting. Research on AIDS has been conducted in various settings and within various fields of science since its outbreak and has raised ethical dilemmas for the researchers. In this chapter the issues of fieldwork, vulnerable groups, power relations and sensitive research are discussed. The prac

The article discusses the positions expressed on the mock trial on surzhyk held in Kyiv in June 2004 and their roots in Ukrainophone language ideology.

Two readings of a poem by Danish writer Inger Christensen, "hviskningerne findes" ('the whisperings exist'); the first analysis considering the poem as language system and the second putting it in view of structuralism and myth research

My thesis is part of an overall environmental program evaluating the environmental and human health stress in areas of Nicaragua affected by anthropogenic emission of metals and man-made organic substances. I examine the fluvial transport of mercury contextually associated with the extent of the contamination and the observed human and environmental stress in a gold mining area. Field measurements
