Popular Abstract in Swedish Klumpbildning då pulver tillsätts till en vätska är ett problem som många känner igen. Det kan förekomma då såsen ska redas eller när en kopp varm choklad ska blandas till från kakaopulver. Samma problem uppträder också i industrin, där många ingredienser distribueras i pulverform. Att använda torra ingredienser (pulver) inom industrin har fördelar då dessa produkter haThe formation of lumps during powder dissolution is undesirable in most cases. In a world where the use of dry products is increasing, incomplete powder dissolution and lump formation can for instance affect the color of a paint or the nutritional content of baby food. In this thesis, the phenomena governing lump formation of agglomerated spray dried dairy powders were investigated. The focus of t

During the last years the amount of electricity generated by Distributed Energy Resources (DER), especially wind turbines, has been increasing a lot. These Distributed Generation (DG) units are often connected to rural distribution networks, where they have a large impact on the voltage and the network losses. The network voltage at the customers point of connection is an important quality criteri

Aims/hypothesis Recent genome-wide association studies performed in selected patients and control participants have provided strong support for several new type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci. To get a better estimation of the true risk conferred by these novel loci, we tested a completely unselected population of type 2 diabetes patients from a Norwegian health survey (the HUNT study). Methods We

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många material är kristallina – inte bara ädelstenar, utan även alla metaller och keramiska material består av kristaller. Till och med många proteiner och t.ex. acetylsalicylsyra, basen till aspirin, bildar kristaller. När någonting kallas kristallint menar man att atomerna sitter på särskilda platser och i en bestämd, regelbunden ordning. De flesta material är polykriSemiconducting nanowires have attracted scientific attention for more than 20 years due to their potential applications in electronic devices, as sensors, and in solid state lighting. These applications require high quality nanowires to begin with. Achieving such good control over the growth of nanowires is not trivial and requires profound understanding of the underlying processes. In this thesis

Prophylaxis is defined as the regular administration of clotting factor concentrates to prevent bleeding. Extensive data from observational studies and a recent randomized controlled trial (have established that early prophylactic treatment prevents bleeds and arthropathy in boys with severe haemophilia. The initiation of prophylaxis in young children remains challenging. To prevent arthropathy, p

We have critically examined and compared various ways to obtain standard harmonic molecular mechanics (MM) force-field parameters for metal sites in proteins, using the 12 most common Zn2+ sites as test cases. We show that the parametrization of metal sites is hard to treat with automatic methods. The choice of method is a compromise between speed and accuracy and therefore depends on the intended

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymergeler och deras interaktioner med joniska surfaktanter. Olika typer av hydrofoba polymerer och hydrophobmodifierade polymerer tvärbinds kemisk till geler. Dessa geler tillhör gruppen responsiva geler, vilket betyder att gelerna ändrar sin volym under yttre påverkan. Gelernas volymändring studeras vid tillsats av olika joniska surfaktanter, vid tillsats av saltThe response on chemically crosslinked gels and polymer solutions on the addition of ionic surfactants and/or addition of salt at different temperatures have been studied. All polymers studied are water soluble and slightly hydrophobic or hydrophobically modified. Because of their hydrophobicity the polymers have a strong tendency to associate, both with themselves and with surfactants. Another i

The transition towards a sustainable society has become more and more an urban challenge due to a dramatic shift from rural to urban living over the past century. Cities cause environmental and social problems and offer solutions to many sustainability challenges. Living Labs are research infrastructures embedded in a real-life environment, which have recently emerged as a tool for urban governanc

Radon är en radioaktiv gas och farligt för människors hälsa. Strålningen kan orsaka allvarliga sjukdomar såsom lungcancer. Miljömålet “God bebyggd miljö“ är ett av de 16 nationella miljömålen i Sverige och säger bl.a. att innan år 2020 ska det inte finnas några bostäder med högre radonhalt än 200 Bq/m3 luft. Miljöförvaltningen i Lund har vid ett flertal tidigare tillfällen försökt att kartlägga boRadongas is radioactive and dangerous for the human health. The radiation can cause serious diseases such as lung cancer. "Good built environment" is one of the 16 national environmental goals in Sweden which says that before year 2020 there must be no dwellings with radon concentrations over 200 Bq / m3 air. The environmental governance has on several occasions before attempted to ident

Ett hybridinstrument utgör en finansieringsmetod med villkor bestående av såväl ägande- som skuldegenskaper. Gällande rätt inom associationsrätten, redovisningsrätten och skatterätten har studerats i syfte att undersöka hur användning av dessa i kapitalanskaffningssyfte kan komma att inverka på emitterande bolags ekonomiska situation. Informationen beträffande gällande rätt har använts för att koA method of financing containing characteristics of equity as well as debt falls under the classification of a hybrid instrument. Legislation regarding company law, accounting law and tax law has been studied in order to examine how these, in a funding purpose, impact the financial situation of the issuing company. The acquired knowledge of the legal situation has been used to establish inequalit

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De skånska bokskogarna. Vad kan krypen säga? Det är mycket som påverkar våra skogar i dag. Vägar som delar upp dem i mindre delar och lantbruk och kvävenedfall som stör balansen för vad som ska växa i skogens utkanter med sin gödsling. Även trafiken påverkar genom att kväveoxiderna i avgaserna har en gödande effekt. Skogens hälsa påverkas självklart av detta, Abstract Deforestation, fragmentation and loss of biodiversity, all are elements that are common today. With this project I want to evaluate if there is a difference in functional diversity of evertebrates between beech stands of low herb and shrub type beech forest. I also want to test if there is a difference within tested areas between low herb and shrub type forests, but also if here is a dif

A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. One purpose of the setup is to test the possibility of providing environmental monitoring of pure alpha-emitters for the European Spallation Source currently und

It’s not unusual for young people these days to take and edit a selfie. With the rise of consumerist culture and the popularity of mobile Internet, nowadays selfie applications, including beauty cameras and photo-beautification applications, have become the most well-accepted products/brands among Chinese women, who have grown accustomed to showing only one exquisitely edited face in digital photo

Alt-Lit is a literary movement which first sprung up in The U.S in the middle of the first decade of the second millennia. Vaguely defined and led by aspiring writers belonging to the Y-Generation, also known as millennials, its presence and influence has become increasingly apparent. These are the first writers to use the internet, not only as a platform, but as an aesthetic and linguistic inspir

Renommésnytning har kommit att utvecklas till att bli ett centralt diskuterat ämne inom marknadsföringsrätten. Den som obehörigen anknyter till annans renommé gör sig skyldig till renommésnyltning. När renommésnyltning företas i en jämförande reklam tillämpas marknadsföringslagens specialbestämmelse istället för den generalklausul som används vid andra typer av reklam. Uppsatsen är tänkt att behanPassing off has developed into being one of the most centrally discussed topics within market law. A corporation that associates ones’ brand with another brand´s goodwill is inegible taking actions that results in passing off. Passing of in comparative advertisement can result in enforcement via special regulations, rather than the general clause which is applicable if the advertisement is not com

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I Arktis finns det enorma lager av kol som ligger i och under permafrosten, vilket är frusen mark som inte har tinat på två år. Mycket tyder på att delar av dessa lager är känsliga för en temperaturökning och idag sker en pågående uppvärmning. Arktis värms snabbare än övriga jorden på grund av att vit reflekterande is och snö smälter, vilket resulterar i att hav The permafrost area in the Arctic region contains vast carbon stocks within and beneath the permafrost, which is frozen ground that has not thawed in two years. These carbon stocks are sensitive to ongoing global warming. When the white and reflective snow and ice melts, the remaining land and sea surfaces absorb more shortwave radiation and get warmer. Heat transport to the Arctic will also incre

Due to the change in climate the design flow for Bergeforsen dam, located at the Indalsälven river mouth, is being revised from 2300 m3/s to more than 3000 m3/s. The dam needs to be upgraded with a new gated spillway and repaired in order to increase the safety of the dam. Concerns have been raised about the altered flow conditions that will occur downstream of the dam in connection with that the
