Sven Nilsson och Skånes postglaciala fauna

Lundaprofessorn Sven Nilsson blev under 1800-talet internationellt känd inom så skilda ämnen som geologi, zoologi och arkeologi. Denna kontrasternas man, beskrivs som brilliant men temperamentsfull och snarstucken, med stort självhävdelsebehov, en svaghet för det sensationella men samtidigt mycket känslig för kritik. Hans faunahistoriska forskning var banbrytande och många av resultaten är aktuell

The book is a Finnish version of Terror och tystnad (2005).

Troublesome transformation. EU law on pregnancy and maternity turned into Swedish Law on parental leave

In 2006, a prohibition on less favourable treatment of workers related to parental leave was introduced in The Swedish Act on Parental Leave. The prohibition was designed on the basis of the rules on discrimination of pregnant workers and workers on maternity leave in the Equal Treatment directive. The Swedish rules do however separate from the EU rules in one crucial respect. While the European U

The Virtual Museum of the Western Han Dynasty: 3D Documentation and Interpretation

This project, aimed to the digital documentation of archaeological sites, artifacts and cultural relics of the Western Han Dynasty, started in 2008. The anticipated outcome will be the creation of a virtual museum, based on collaborative environments, dedicated to the Western Han Dynasty and able to integrate new archaeological datasets coming from fieldwork activities (most part of them unpublish

Throughput analysis of three multiuser diversity schemes

The throughput of three slot allocation schemes for the downlink of a wireless TDMA system are investigated under the assumption of block-Rayleigh fading. The schemes use the instantaneous SNR at the users in order to take advantage of the independent fading of the channels. In the first scheme, which has been proposed earlier (R. Knopp et al., 1995), the base station transmits to the user that ex

Integrated Product and Service Offerings Creates Logistical Challanges - The Problem and the Choice of Research Design

Yesterday’s sole hardware product is becoming more and more rare. Today, the original products are increasingly surrounded by value adding services, software or control systems, all bundled together to a “total offer”. Christopher (1998) states that it is the totality of the offer which delivers customer value, and that adding value through differentiation and/or service is a powerful means of ach

Combined linear-Viterbi equalizers - a comparative study and a minimax design

Combined linear-Viterbi equalizer (CLVE) is a term often used for a class of digital receivers reducing the complexity of the Viterbi detector by assuming an approximate channel model together with linear pre-equalization of the received data. The authors reconsider a weighted least squares design technique for CLVEs by introducing a minimax criterion for suppressing the strongest component of the

Eco-Standards, Product Labelling and Green Consumerism

This book provides the reader with a broad policy analysis of a main set of tools aimed at realising an increasingly appreciated aspect of late modern democracy: green political consumerism. The authors illustrate and explain how green labels and other eco-standards are created and negotiated within a broad continuum between science and politics, by addressing political, regulatory, discursive, an

Radiotherapy Gel Dosimetry: Development and Application of Normoxic Polymer Gels

Popular Abstract in Swedish Av de omkring 45 000 svenskar som årligen drabbas av cancer kommer ungefär hälften att botas, ofta med strålning som en del av behandlingen. Syftet med strålterapi är att oskadliggöra tumören, men utan att skada omgivande vävnad. Idealt vill man att stråldosen ska vara mycket hög i tumören, samtidigt som den är obefintlig i vävnaden runt omkring. Strålskador på frisk väIn many radiotherapy applications, true three-dimensional dosimetry with good spatial resolution that can be achieved in a single measurement would be of great value. Polymer gel dosimetry fulfils many of the demands on such a system. In this study, methods to facilitate the implementation of gel dosimetry have been investigated. A new type of polymer gel, for which the response to absorbed dose i

Light scattering by multiple red blood cells

The interaction of light with multiple red blood cells was systematically investigated by the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The simulations showed that the lateral multiple scattering between red blood cells is very weak and that the polarization has an almost insignificant influence on the distribution of the scattered light. The numerical results of the FDTD method were compared w

FE-Implementation of Elasto-Plastic Model for Granular Materials and Analysis of Foundations

The non-associated plasticity model is utilized to simulate a three dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on sand. The model is a three-dimensional generalization of the Cam-Clay model with yield- and flow potential functions expressed in a common format, but with different shapes and hardening rule depending on both the shear and volumetric stains, which enables modelling of dilation. The

Lipase-Catalysed Lipid Modifications in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The production of ethyl esters (EE) from ethanol and cod-liver oil by an immobilised lipase in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) is described. This reaction results in a complex mixture of lipid components consisting of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and ethyl esters. The primary goal has been to carry out enzymatic reaction and product separation simultaneously, by selectively ext
