The main aim of the present thesis is to demonstrate the efficient quantum memories for light employing coherent processes in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. Rare-earth (RE) ions between lanthanum, with atomic number 57, and lutetium, with atomic number 71, have a partly filled 4f shell, which is spatially inside the full shells 5s, 5p, and 6s. Therefore, 4f-4f transitions are shielded from environ

Description of N. Tom Wright's important contribution to Jesus research, focusing on his methodology.

Objective: To compare guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) based on the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) with a protocol based on logistic regression model LR2 developed by the International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) group for triaging women with an ovarian mass as low, moderate, or high risk of malignancy. Design and setting Observational diagnostic stud

Scand J Caring Sci; 2009 Being in charge of life: perceptions of lifestyle among women of retirement ageAim: The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions of lifestyle among women of retirement age. Background: Women go through many transitions during their lives, which impact on their lifestyle and possibly their outlook on life. Family circumstances such as motherhood and marital status

Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta kommer i kontakt med medicinskt ultraljud under sina liv, t.ex vid foster- eller hjärtdiagnostik. Det vanliga intrycket av ultraljud är en grynig bild eller film som kan framstå som svårtolkad för en lekman. Sanningen är att ultraljud även kan vara svårtolkat för experter, vilket gör att kliniskt arbete med ultraljud är tidskrävande. Detta är en anledning tillThe interpretation of ultrasonic imagery is typically not straightforward and of quite subjective nature and therefore strongly dependent on the expertise of its users. Thus the development of algorithms which aid in the interpretation of ultrasonic data is a highly relevant topic. This thesis examines aspects of segmentation and registration of ultrasonic data, utilizing the fact that the ultraso

This review outlines the different treatment options in localized prostate cancer. This information can be considered alongside other important factors, such as the individual patient's values and situation as well as the potential impact of treatment on his quality of life, in the treatment decision-making process. Taking all these factors into consideration, the data support active surveillance

Ligand-induced activation of the beta-receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induces tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of downstream signaling proteins. In the present study, we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to characterize the spectrum of proteins phosphorylated in response to PDGF stimulation in porcine aortic endothelial cells expressing PDGF beta-receptors. Several pr

Denna rapport härstammar från en kollegiegranskning i äldreomsorgen. Tio biståndshandläggare har undersökt sin verksamhet såsom den ter sig i en annan kommun inte så långt därifrån. De skriver kunnigt och engagerat om biståndsbedömning och ställer frågor kring hur detta arbete bör bedrivas. Bengt Ingvad och Christer Neleryd har sammanställt granskningarna. I ett inledande och avslutande kapitel ko
