Packaging is a fundamental element in logistics systems. Packaging not only affects every logistical activity; it is also recognised as having a significant impact on logistics costs and performance. In order for logisticians and packaging professionals to gain insight into packaging-dependent costs and performance, the interactions between packaging systems and logistics systems must be understoo

Abstract in UndeterminedVideo coding technology in the last 20 yearshas evolved producing a variety of different and com-plex algorithms and coding standards. So far the speci-fication of such standards, and of the algorithms thatbuild them, has been done case by case providingmonolithic textual and reference software specifica-tions in different forms and programming languages.However, very littl

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svensk sammanfattning Slaganfall (stroke), hjärtstillestånd eller överdosering av insulin är tillstånd som leder till en minskning av syre- och/eller glukos till hjärnvävnaden. Då tillförseln av glukos och syrgas minskar, kan cellerna inte längre upprätthålla en normal energiproduktion. Eftersom en stor del av energin går åt till bevara den spänning som finns över cellIn this thesis mechanisms of neuronal damage were investigated in an experimental stroke model i.e focal ischemia. The influence of SD-induced calcium transients on neuronal damage were studied in animals with reduced energy supply. The influence of bioenergetic failure on K+e concentration and Ca2+e homeostasis were also investigated in transient focal ischemia. Moreover, the free radical formati

The mechanisms of protein folding and aggregation are investigated by computer simulations of all-atom and reduced models with sequence-based potentials. A quasi local Monte Carlo update is developed in order to efficiently sample proteins in the folded phase. A small helical protein, the B-domain of staphylococcal protein A, is studied using a reduced model. In the thermodynamically favoured topo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att analysera värdet av bilder i ett antal kognitiva uppgifter som framförallt är av verbal natur. Avhandlingen omfattar tre studier, med vardera tre experiment. I den första studien visades automatiskt inflytande från bilder (ansiktsuttryck) på en affektiv bedömning av ord som positiva eller negativa. I den integrerade presentationen av ord The aim of this thesis was to analyze the value of pictures in a number of cognitive tasks that are predominantly verbal in nature. Three studies, with three experiments each, are included in the thesis. The first study found automatic interference effects from pictures (facial expressions) on the affective evaluation of words. In the Stroop-like presentation of integrated picture-and-word stimuli

The elemental composition of 10 samples of Spanish moss Tillandsia usneoides L. collected mainly in forested areas near Tallahassee, Florida, has been compared to the composition of the ambient aerosol particle background in the forest measured as a function of particle size. For forest samples, moss composition is similar to the composition of aerosol particles greater than about 0.5-μm diameter
