A selective pressurized liquid extraction (SPLE) procedure capable of performing simultaneous extraction and clean-up has been demonstrated for multi-residue analysis of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil. The final method was performed at 100 degrees C for 3 x 10 min using acetone/n-heptane (1:1, v/v). Florisil was placed inside the extraction cell downstream the sample to remove interferin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker dagvatten som en resurs i svensk urban miljö. Fokus har varit öppna dagvattensystem för flödeskontroll och uppsamlingssystem för regnvatten. För att analysera realiserandet av öppna dagvattensystem, presenteras två fallstudier; Augustenborg i Malmö och Bäckaslöv våtmark i Växjö. De kvarhållande och fördröjande effekterna som uppnås med gröna This thesis investigates the beneficial use of stormwater in Swedish urban environments. The focus has been on open stormwater systems for source control, as well as rainwater collection systems. To analyse the implementation of open stormwater systems, two case studies are presented: Augustenborg in Malmö and Bäckaslöv wetland in Växjö. The retention and detention effects of green-roofs have been
sensitive detection of pesticides is of utmost importance in environment pesticides in agricultural and environmental samples wherein antibodies are employed against the target molecules. Accurate diagnosis depends on the affinity and specificity of the antibody preparation used, and high affinity antibodies are essential for the detection of very small amounts of pesticides. Enzyme linked immuno
Postmenopausal decline of estrogen production is associated with development of several degenerative disorders such as osteoporosis, neuroinflammatory diseases and vascular wall degeneration. These are associated with the activation of the cells of the monocyte-macrophage system in a context-dependent manner. Estrogen regulates differentiation, maturation and function of many cell types in this sy
Popular Abstract in Swedish Programvara spelar en allt viktigare roll i industriella produkter. Bilar, flygplan, telefoner, hemelektronik, kärnkraftverk m.m. innehåller alla programvara. När man utvecklar programvara blir det ofta fel i produkterna, fel som kan vara mycket allvarliga för funktion och säkerhet. Ett första steg i att minska dessa fel är att uppskatta hur många fel som finns i produkIn software engineering, the quality of software and in particular the software reliability has to be controlled and improved. Hence there is a need for measuring and controlling the number and appearance of software faults and failures. This thesis presents models for estimation of residual faults after inspections and a model for usage specifications which enables estimation of operational failu
The enzyme beta-galactosidase was purified from a cold-adapted organism isolated from Antarctica. The organism was identified as a psychrotrophic Pseudoalteromonas sp. The enzyme was purified with high yields by a rapid purification scheme involving extraction in an aqueous two-phase system followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and ultrafiltration. The beta-galactosidase was optimally
A concentrating photovoltaic wall element, including Cu(In, Ga)Se-2-based modules, aluminum reflectors, and an insulation for building integration, has been developed and evaluated. The geometric concentration ratio of the system is about 3 x. However, the measured maximum electric power from the modules is only 1.9 times that of identical vertical modules without reflectors, due to optical losses

The enzymatic and bioelectrocatalytic activity of tyrosinase from mushrooms was studied in a system of reversed micelles formed by Aerosol OT (AOT) in hexane. The optimal catechol oxidising activity of tyrosinase incorporated in reversed micelles was found at a hydration degree of w(0) = 25. The catalytic activity was comparable with tyrosinase activity in aqueous media. When immobilized at an Au
Policies based upon Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) aim to reduce the environmental impacts of products by inducing design changes, by way of an extension of producer’s responsibility. Since the early 1990s, a number of countries have EPR-based policies related to end-of-life management of selected product groups. The incorporation of incentive mechanisms for design change in an EPR program
This paper presents new methods trellis source coding at rates above and below one. The new schemes have in common a code design based on branch correlation, a large reproducer alphabet, and an encoder based on either the Viterbi algorithm or a tailbiting MAP technique. The methods are easily adapted to various bit rates, but here only the results for R = 2 and R = 1/2 bits per source sample are p
