Glucose-evoked insulin secretion exhibits a biphasic time course and is associated with accelerated intracellular granule movement. We combined live confocal imaging of EGFP-labelled insulin granules with capacitance measurements of exocytosis in clonal INS-1 cells to explore the relation between distinct random and directed modes of insulin granule movement, as well as exocytotic capacity. Reduci
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
The objective of this study has been to analyze the introduction and development of mineral wool building insulation in Germany, Sweden and the UK, and to examine the policy instruments that support these processes. The aim has been to improve our understanding of the role of the policy instruments. The analysis focuses on the development of the policy framework, the development of technology, the
The need for low-carbon transitions in the industrial sector is increasingly recognised by governments and industry. However, radical pathways for reaching near-zero emissions in the energy intensive basic materials industry are still relatively unexplored. Most studies focus on mitigation options that lead to marginal emission reductions, e.g., energy and materials efficiency improvements and som
En analys av komediserien Seinfeld där jag söker efter postmoderna tendenser i handling, manus och karaktärer för att besvara min frågeställning: Vad är identitet enligt Seinfeld som TV-serie?
This paper examines Sweden’s role as a pioneer in mitigating climate change. Critical discourse analysis of climate and energy policy unveils Sweden’s ambition to ‘lead-by-example’, by virtue of a win-win combination of economy and environment via stringent regulations and an early-mover strategy on eco-innovations. The extent of the unilateral approach is constrained by concerns for the competiti
Offspring sex ratios may deviate from parity when the fitness benefits of producing male or female offspring vary. We tested for sex ratio bias in smooth-billed anis Crotophaga ani, a communal laying cuckoo with low within-group relatedness and high offspring dispersal. One male group member performs nocturnal incubation and sires more offspring than other males in the group, suggesting males may
Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings of eyest
I denna rapport studeras i vilken grad framtida energi- och transportsystem med låga utsläpp av växthusga¬ser är förenliga med övriga svenska miljömål. Utgångspunkt tas i de scenarier som tagits fram i forsk¬ningsprogrammet LETS. Ibland uppkommer synergier som innebär att minskningar av utsläppen av växt¬husgaser samtidigt leder till att det blir lättare att uppnå andra miljömål. I andra fall uppkIn this report potential synergies and conflicts between greenhouse gas mitigation and other environmental objectives (EOs) are studied. A starting point is taken in energy scenarios developed within the research programme LETS (www.lets2050.se). Environmental impacts appear in all steps of the energy chain, from land-use effects (both direct and indirect) of renewable energy extraction to emissio
Drell-Yan pair production off nuclei is an ideal tool to test the cold nuclear effects occurring before a hard collision since no interaction in the final state is expected, neither energy loss or absorption. We present for the first time a comprehensive study of the nucleus-to-nucleon production ratio (the nuclear modification factor) within the color dipole approach using the Green function form
We have studied how energy efficiency is discussed by professionals during renovation of multifamily dwellings, in order to capture how barriers in relation to energy measures are appearing, disappearing and transformed during the process. We did participatory observations of renovation meetings, conducted interviews with the involved professionals and studied-related documents. Our intentions hav
This article compares what homeowners identified as motives and barriers for installing photovoltaic panels in Sweden in 2008–2009 and in 2014–2016. Earlier research has provided snapshots of existing barriers and motives, but not analyzed changes over time, as is done here. Between 2008 and 2014, the PV market in Sweden changed profoundly, with the introduction of subsidies and changes in rules,
Today there is a need for energy-efficiency measures in historic buildings. Clarifying both opportunities and risks for energy-efficiency measures in historic buildings is a challenging task. To ensure that such measures will provide the planned result without damage to the building or poor indoor climate, a skilled holistic approach is required. To be able to propose accurate measures requires a
Energy deficiency is currently an emergency issue in society. Hydrogen has been considered an environment-friendly energy carrier with high energy capacity. Hence, in this study a simple and effective method was used to synthesize Cerium-oxide Nanowires doped with Reduced Graphene Oxide (CNW-RGO) via the hydrothermal reaction as hydrogen evolving catalysts. Results showed that the composite photoc
Abstract – A new full-scale laboratory has been erected at Lund university in 2004. The main goal of the laboratory is to find cost-effective solutions which reduce the electricity use in offices and residential buildings. The facility contains four rooms for testing building components, especially glazing and shading systems. The roof has a platform for testing solar components and solar systems,
Expanding bio-energy can help to fight climate change and improve energy security. The bio-energy industry in the EU is booming. Much of this success is based on the supportive EU directives and strategies that are stimulating national policies and innovation processes. However, the bio-energy industry is being confronted with a number of interconnected challenges that threaten its reputation, leg
This article focuses on how Sweden's largest tenant-owners' organization, HSB, deals with energy efficiency. The aim is to examine HSB's energy goals, how they are determined and how they should be implemented at four levels: the national association, the regional office, the local housing co-operatives and the tenant-owners. Representatives of all four levels were interviewed. Achieving energy go
