When making nanoelectrodes for applications in liquid cells it is plausible that the less noble metal layer may be negatively affected, i.e. it will be etched away leading to very unstable conditions during operation. Here we describe a dry method to produce such a molecular layer consisting of mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) making it possible to controllable and reproducibly form a covalent

Popular Abstract in Swedish En avgörande skillnad mellan encelliga organismer såsom bakterier och multicellulära som oss själva är behovet av kommunikation och samarbete mellan cellerna. Redan under fosterstadiet måste cellerna meddela sig med varandra avseende var de skall ta vägen och vilka uppgifter var och en skall åta sig. Exempelvis måste en cell fortlöpande få information om huruvida den skThe pro-inflammatory effect of leukotrienes is an important element in the pathogenesis of multiple disorders, including asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). A serious concern for IBD patients is the increased risk of developing colorectal cancer and since there seems to be a general connection between inflammation and cancer we hypothesised that LTD4 induced signalling events could be in

An explorative interview study was performed with 21 air traffic controllers having experienced air traffic control incidents (loss of separation between aircraft). The results of the interview study identified the following main factors contributing to the occurrence of incidents: 1) memory malfunctions; 2) concentration problems; 3) distractions; 4) inadequate expectations; 5) deficient phraseol

Transient electromagnetic wave propagation in a stratified, anisotropic, dispersive medium is considered. Specifically, the direct scattering problem is addressed. The dispersive, anisotropic medium is modeled by constitutive relations (a 3 3 matrix-valued susceptibility operator) containing time convolution integrals. In the general case, nine different susceptibility kernels characterize the med

I den här uppsatsen bedrivs en narrativ medieanalys av hur den svenska rapporteringen om Ukraina sett ut mellan januari 2004 och mars 2006 utifrån sex rikstäckande tidningar. Genom kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder och med hjälp av ett ramverk av de teoretiska begreppen stereotyper, berättelser och diskussionen om ”den Andre” i Europa, identifieras och diskuteras ett antal huvudteman i mediebil

Analytical modelling has opened the door for fire behaviour prediction of not only building materials as concrete and steel but akso of quite complicated concrete structures in general. This paper reflects some of the progress made within the field. A behaviour model of steel is used for coupling results from steady state and transient sate tests. A recently developed procedure is shown on how to

The book deals two aspects of the Soviet Communist terror history of the years 1918-1953. It is in part an analysis of its events and processes, mechanisms, perpetrators and victims and scholarly debates, and in part an analysis of how the post-terror Soviet Union and Russia have coped with the memory of the misdeeds.
