This Ph.D. Thesis concerns the study of mixing in Rushton turbine agitated reactors. In industrial (bio)reactors, mixing is recognised as a limiting factor that significantly affects the performance of the process. This limitation has motivated the present study. It is first shown how planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) can be used to investigate mixing in a model reactor. The principles of

The present dissertation delineates how the fairy tale character, Little Red Riding Hood, has appeared in different screen versions. It is a thematic and historical analysis of the development of film versions and other traces of the story 1901 to 2001, focussing particulary on the representation of Red Riding Hood herself. The story of this little girl, mostly dressed in different red garments, i

Popular Abstract in English Cells are the basic unit of life that exhibit dependence on water and ambient temperature to flourish and survive. So it is remarkable that the proteins responsible for the interaction of water and heat with the cell were not discovered until relatively recently. It was assumed for decades that water freely diffuse into and out of the cells without support. The cells arMembrane proteins play several important roles in a cell. Among these proteins are aquaporins (AQPs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels that mediate water transport, temperature and noxious chemical sensation, respectively. The function of some AQPs, for example the spinach isoform SoPIP2;1 is regulated by pH, phosphorylation and heavy metals such as mercury. However, the mechanis

A new Doppler-free laser spectroscopy method is demonstrated that employs modulation of the position of a laser beam rather than the commonly used intensity or polarization modulation. The technique is applicable in saturated absorption as well as fluorescence measurements, as is illustrated in experiments on sodium and iodine lines. A particular feature of the method is that Doppler- and backgrou

In this work we discuss a theory for entanglement generation, characterization and detection in fermionic two-particle interferometers (2PI) at finite temperature. The motivation for our work is provided by the recent experiment by the Heiblum group, Neder et al. Nature 448, 333 (2007), realizing the 2PI proposed by Samuelsson, Sukhorukov, and Buttiker, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 026805 (2004). The expe
