Let $H^2_m$ be the Hilbert function space on the unit ball in $\C{m}$ defined by the kernel $k(z,w) = (1-\langle z,w \rangle)^{-1}$. For any weak zero set of the multiplier algebra of $H^2_m$, we study a natural extremal function, $E$. We investigate the properties of $E$ and show, for example, that $E$ tends to $0$ at almost every boundary point. We also give several explicit examples of the extr
A model has been developed for the removal of sulphur dioxide from flue gas by absorption into a limestone slurry. The flue gas desulphurization unit consists of an absorber tower and an oxidation tank. Flue gas enters the absorption tower at the bottom and meets the limestone slurry. There are five important chemical reactions with a finite rate. The rate-limiting reactions are limestone dissolut
The aim of this study was to evaluate how routinely performed phosphorus release tests could be used when modelling enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) using activated sludge models such as ASM2d. A pilot plant with an extensive analysis programme was used as basis for the simulations. Without any calibration the prediction of phosphorus removal was poor and the initial release rates fro
The selective blockade of alpha1-adrenoceptors (ARs) is now a well-accepted and widely used treatment for patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder outlet obstruction. The sites of action of the currently used alpha1-AR antagonists when relieving LUTS have not yet been established, but it seems clear that effects on

I denna rapport redovisas energiberäkningar för tre småhus på Bo 92 i Örebro. Syftet med rapporten är att beräkna och analysera det totala energibehovet och mängd byggnadsmaterial från 'vaggan till graven' för småhus. Med det totala energibehovet menas summan av energibehovet under produktion (materialtillverkning, materialtransporter och uppförande av byggnaden), förvaltning (brukande av byggnade
Accurate dosimetric investigations are important to be able to fulfill the ambition of radiation protection in nuclear medicine and to minimize the radiation burden to the patient. This paper presents human radiation absorbed dose estimates following an administration of an 111In-labeled anti-CEA-F(ab')2 (BW431/31) based on detailed biodistribution and elimination data in a rat model. Animals were
Anaerobic digestion is a suitable method for the treatment of wastewater and organic wastes, yielding biogas as a useful by-product. A common way of preventing instability problems and avoiding acidification in anaerobic digesters is to keep the organic load to the digester far below its maximum capacity. An improved way of operating digesters would be to use monitoring and control systems for inc
In order to evaluate the potential of cardiovascular tissue characterisation using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, spectra in a previously unexplored wavelength region 0.8-2.3 mu m were recorded from various pig heart tissue samples in vitro: normal myocardium (with and without endo/epicardium), aorta; fatty and fibrous heart tissue. The spectra were analysed with principal component analysis (P
Observer performance studies are time-consurning tasks, both for the participating observers and for the scientists collecting and analysing the data. A possible way to optimise such studies is to perform them in a completely digital environment. A software tool-ViewDEX (Viewer for Digital Evaluation of X-ray images)-has been developed in Java, enabling it to function on almost any computer. ViewD
In laryngectomized patients a tracheo-esophageal artificial fistula can be used to achieve air flow from the trachea to the esophagus during speech. A one-way plastic valve is often used for the fistula. A free jejunal graft between the trachea and the esophagus can also be used. To avoid aspiration the transplant is attached to the submental area giving the graft a siphon-like shape. We performed
Popular Abstract in Swedish Etanol som produceras från förnyelsebara råvaror kan ersätta fossila bränslen som t.ex. bensin och diesel. Denna avhandling behandlar den enzymatiska processen för etanolproduktion från barrträd. Baserat på datorprogrammen Aspen Plus och Icarus Process Evaluator har ett verktyg för tekniska och ekonomiska beräkningar tagits fram i vilket hela processen, från trä till etEthanol produced from renewable resources can be used to replace fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel. This thesis deals with the development of the enzymatic process used for ethanol production from softwood. A techno-economic tool, based on Aspen Plus and Icarus Process Evaluator, was developed in which the whole process, from raw material to ethanol, was studied and critical process paramet

Limitations of the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) technique - a promising method to identify the charged particles stopped in planar Si-detectors - have been investigated. The particle resolution turned out to be basically determined by resistivity fluctuations in the bulk silicon which cause the charge-collection time to depend on the point of impact. Detector maps showing these fluctuations ha
In this project the objectives were to investigate freezing and thawing resistance (internal frost resistance and salt frost scaling) of submerged cast SCC at different w/c and different air content for repair of concrete for water power plant dams and harbours in severe conditions. The objective was also to compare the result with the corresponding properties of normal submerged cast concrete, NC
The environmental problems associated with office furniture consumption call for a more efficient use of office furniture that can decrease emissions and,volume of waste. The author discusses the opportunities and barriers for the implementation of a PSS for office furniture. In addition, the paper identifies possibilities to overcome these barriers. The article is based on interviews with Europea
