Det är inte bara fukt, dålig ventilation eller andra tekniska faktorer, som är boven i dramat när människor upplever att de blir sjuka av innemiljön. Livssituation och livsstil kan också påverka.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Geografisk fördelning av inomartsvariation i vittspridda Euroasiska skogsväxter Torbjörn Tyler Sammanfattning av författaren's doktorsavhandling Inledning Arter's utbredningar bestäm's inte bara av omvärldsfaktorer som klimat och jordmån utan även av de möjligheter det givit's dem att sprida sig. För att sprida sig över stora geografiska områden kräv's tid och i en väMany woodland plant species have huge distribution areas covering large parts of the Eurasian continent including areas that were glaciated during the last glacial period. In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-

Four exposures of Chicxulub impact ejecta along the Mexico-Belize border have been sampled and analyzed for major and trace element abundances. The ejecta deposits consist of a lower spheroid bed, containing clay and dolomite spheroids, and an upper diamictite bed with boulders and clasts of limestone and dolomite. The matrix of both beds is composed of clay and micritic dolomite. The rare earth e

I present the status of the THEPEG project for creating a common platform for implementing C++ event generators. I also describe briefly the status of the new version of ARIADNE implemented using this framework.

The presence of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs) in drinking water resources has urged the development of simple and fast screening tools for drinking water surveillance. This article aims to validatea quick test kit for freshwater PSTs detection. Preliminary estimates of the limit of detection (LODs)were done for 5 PSPs variants, namely C1 toxin (a “C” toxin); GTX5(a Gonyautoxin); and

Neural cultures are very useful in neuroscience, providing simpler and better controlled systems than the in vivo situation. Neural tissue contains two main cell types, neurons and glia, and interactions between these are essential for appropriate neuronal development. In neural cultures, glial cells tend to overgrow neurons, limiting the access to neuronal interrogation. There is therefore a pres

This paper expands Ghaddar et al. [N. Ghaddar, K. Ghali, R. Saadeh, A. Keblawi, Design charts for combined chilled ceiling displacement ventilation system (1438-RP), ASHRAE Transactions, 143 (2) (2008) 574-587] design charts of combined chilled ceiling (CC) displacement ventilation (DV) system to operating sensible load ranges from 40 W/m(2) to 100 W/m(2). It develops a global correlation of syste

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a high-impact pathogen with approximately 12,000 diagnoses annually in Eurasia. The virus causes a variety of clinical manifestations, with neurological symptoms in up to 30% of the patients. Lethality in Europe is <2% but post-encephalitis syndrome is seen in over 40% of the infected patients and results in substantial impairment in quality of life. Over th

Background: Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an attractive hydrogen producer suitable for growth on various lignocellulosic substrates. The aim of this study was to quantify uptake of pentose and hexose monosaccharides in anindustrial substrate and to present a kinetic growth model of C. saccharolyticus that includes sugar uptake on defined and industrial media. The model is based on Monod

e summarize our successful efforts to support in-tuitive programming of industrial robotic assemblytasks with a knowledge based approach to the rep-resentation of skills. These skills can be specified,re-used, refined and transferred between robotswith the help of a multimodal interface combinedwith kinesthetic teaching. We argue that while itis certainly possible and suitable to have robotsacquir
