We developed a mobile system for collecting and communicating heart rate data in real-time using low cost, commonly available equipment. This system could be used to monitor patients with cardiac arrhythmia over long periods of time, hopefully increasing the chance of capturing and recording an actual fibrillation, which rarely is the case today. Such recordings are useful for physicians to find t

An objection against religious nonrealism is that it cannot account for the reference to God, since God is seen to be a human construction, and not a metaphysically existing entity. However, as traditional theories of reference are insufficient in explaining everyday language references to so-called non-existing entities, the criticism is not valid.

The thermal stability of the (1×2) missing-row phase of Rh(110), whose first layer is an ordered array of one-dimensional atomic chains, is investigated using high-resolution core-level spectroscopy and density functional calculations. The time evolution of the spectra indicates that this phase is metastable towards deconstruction into a (1×1) phase. Our calculations unveil the mechanism of this p

Component C4 of human complement was purified from fresh frozen plasma with a yield of 25% using an initial batch separation with quaternary diethyl-(2-hydroxypropyl)aminoethyl--Sephadex followed by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration in Sephadex G-200. The final product was homogenous according to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunochemical methods. Low-speed sedi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en studie av en grupp cypriska stenskulpturer som ställdes upp som votivgåvor i öns tempel och helgedomar under 500-talet f.Kr. Det som utmärker gruppen är att de bär cypriska versioner av karakteristisk egyptisk klädedräkt och smycken. För att kunna svara på frågor som varför denna egyptiserande votivtyp dedicerades på ön, varifrån impulserna kom ocThis thesis is a study of a particular limestone votive statuary type which was dedicated in the sanctuaries on Cyprus during the entire 6th century B.C. Common to the group of figures is that they are wearing a Cypriote version of an Egyptian-type outfit, including characteristic Egyptian royal headgear and jewelry. In order to be able to answer questions on the origin of the Egyptianizing iconog

Popular Abstract in Swedish The phenol oxidase “laccase” was first described towards the end of the 19th century from the wound sap of the lacquer tree Rhus vernicifera. However, its use in one of the oldest biotechnologies, i.e. the making of lacquerware in East-Asia, dates back to 5000-6000 BC. The enzyme has the widest distribution in nature among the multicopper oxidases. It catalyzes one elecLaccase, the phenol oxidizing enzyme, was first described towards the end of the 19th century from the wound sap of the lacquer tree Rhus vernicifera. The enzyme has the widest distribution in nature among the multicopper oxidases. It catalyzes single electron transfer oxidation in the presence of molecular oxygen producing water as by-product. Based on these highly desired mild oxidising conditio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hantering av risker i företag och organisationer har haft en lång och komplicerad historia. På åttiotalet, och i början av nittiotalet, var uppfattningen att om en olycka inträffade i en organisation, som påstods vara nära nog perfekt, måste det bero på ”den mänskliga faktorn”, dvs. att en eller flera medarbetare inte gjorde som de borde ha gjort. Orsakerna till olyckaIntroduction Risk management in enterprises, organisations and companies has had a long and complicated history. During the eighties, and at least during the beginning of the nineties, the notion concerning risk management was that if an accident happened in an otherwise perfect system it was due to the human operator in some way being the cause of the error. The cause for the accidents was desc
