Much of biology happens at the protein-water interface, so all dynamical processes in this region are of fundamental importance. Local structural fluctuations in the hydration layer can be probed by 17O magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD), which, at high frequencies, measures the integral of a biaxial rotational time correlation function (TCF) - the integral rotational correlation time. Numerous
Bi-materials composed of thin layers ideally bonded to large substrates are considered. Cracks emerging from an almost flat surface and propagating through the bi-materials are studied. The cracks acquire realistic geometrical shapes, where the tips are integral parts of the crack surfaces. Crack propagation is related to surface evolution resulting from material loss due to corrosion. Controlling
Lower bounds on the list minimum weight and list weight are obtained for ensembles of systematic and nonsystematic encoders. >From these bounds it follows that the necessary list size grows exponentially with the number of corrected errors. We obtain an expurgated upper bound on the probability of the correct path loss for the ensemble of time-invariant binary convolutional codes. The notion of an
BACKGROUND: Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA) and tyrosine phosphatase antibodies (islet antigen-2 antibodies; IA-2A) are used in clinical practise to identify type 1 diabetes. METHODS: GADA and IA-2A were measured with RSR-ELISA kits in samples from 76 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic children and 120 healthy controls. The aim was to evaluate performance of RSR-ELISA kits for GADA and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sköldkörtelhormoner och bröstcancer Insjuknandet i sköldkörtelsjukdomar är liksom bröstcancer vanligast hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet och ett eventuellt samband har diskuterats i över ett sekel. Experimentella studier har visat att sköldkörtelhormoner påverkar både utveckling av normala bröstceller och tillväxt av bröstcancerceller. Det finns också belägg för att sköThyroid hormones and breast cancer-prospective studies on incidence, mortality and prognostic factors The aim of this thesis was to investigate in a prospective design, thyroid hormones in relation to breast cancer risk, mortality and prognostic factors. The association between total triiodothyronine (T3) levels and breast cancer risk was studied in 2185 women with146 incident breast cancer cas

This paper examines the development of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) meta-debate in Sweden before and after the release of ChatGPT. From the perspective of agenda-setting theory, we propose that it is an elite outside of party politics that is leading the debate – i.e. that the politicians are relatively silent when it comes to this rapid development. We also suggest that the debate has become
We urgently need to move from a fossil-based to a bio-based society. From a Swedish perspective, a promising way forward are biorefineries with an integrated production of materials, chemicals, and energy from the softwood species Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies). A diverse set of process routes will be necessary to produce all intermediates and commercial products. In
Turbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process. Small viscous drops undergo a sequence of oscillations before entering the monotonic deformation phase leading to breakup. The turbulence-interface interactions prior to reaching critical deformation are therefore essential for understanding and modeling breakup. This contribution uses numerical experiments to characterize the criti

We have used transmission electron microscopy to determine the morphology of InP Stranski–Krastanow islands in GaInP, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 580 °C. We investigated both capped and uncapped islands. It was found that the fully developed islands have the principal shape of truncated pyramids with a hexagonal base both before and after overgrowth. The planes defining the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Växters artdiversitet i naturbetesmarker.Effekter av landskapsstruktur och habitathistoria. I min avhandling har jag undersökt växters artdiversitet i fragmenterade naturbetesmarker, av olika ålder och med olika historisk markanvändning. Jag har även undersökt betydelsen av habitatens isolerinsgrad i dagens och i det förflutna landskapet för dagens artdiversitet med häThe thesis examines the impact of present and past landscape structure, habitat history and management on different aspects of present-day plant species diversity in fragmented semi-natural grasslands in Sweden and in Estonia. Species diversity was significantly associated with present and/or past grassland connectivity in the majority of the studies in the thesis. However, relationships between
In previous years, the crisis communication literature has increasingly emphasised the need for closer examination of internal crisis communication, thereby focussing on employees during crises. Additionally, so far, no research has been conducted exploring internal crisis communication and its impact on employee well-being. The present study aimed at closing this gap by investigating whether inte
The responsibility to protect is a principle formulated in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Since then, it has gradually been developed on the basis of different acts and documents that were influenced by inter-state relations and the agreements concerning human rights. This thesis attempts to explain what the responsibility to protect actually implies a
Thermoacoustic instability is a phenomenom that appears in several technical applications, for instance rocket and jet engines, gas turbines, waste generators and industrial burners where it can cause heavy damage to the systems. As with most instabilities, they are undesired and this thesis' purpose is to identify and control a Rijke tube process (which has been used to stimulate the thermoac
Sammanfattning I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt fyra tidningsmediers rapportering om den statliga myndigheten Tillväxtverket och dess generaldirektör Christina Lugnet i samband med de ekonomiska oegentligheter som uppdagades sommaren 2012. Uppgifterna om hur man på myndigheten gått emot regler för intern represenation och upphandling ledde till att Lugnet avskedades från sin post som generald
The thesis aims to characterize the scenario in which the non-locality of an entangled state shared between sequential observers can be recycled utilizing as few resources as possible. This is accomplished by stochastically combining standard projective measurements using locally generated randomness. Using an entangled two-qubit state, we analytically minimize the number of parameters necessary t
