The rheological properties of bituminous binders tested with a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) as a function of loading time and temperature can more accurately represent real road situations with rising traffic loads and densities combined with climatic change. This method is more effective than traditional methods such as measuring the softening point and penetration. Complex shear modulus and pha

Att näringsidkare behandlar enskilda individers personuppgifter till ändamål för att individanpassa marknadsföring genom elektronisk väg får anses vara vanligt i dagens digitaliserade samhälle. Personuppgifter har fått ett eget kommersiellt värde och kan ses som en tillgång som bland annat genererar intäkter och konkurrensfördelar. Det är dock viktigt att individer får det skydd som krävs för att Personal data has an inherent commercial value and can be seen as an asset that generates revenue and competitive advantages. It is important that individuals receive the necessary protection for their personal data so that it is not used or processed in ways that are not legally compatible.

We have investigated the interactions between cationic poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 4 (G4), a potential gene transfection vector, with net-anionic model biomembranes composed of different ratios of zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) and anionic phospho-l-serine (PS) phospholipids. Two types of model membranes were used: solid-supported bilayers, prepared with lipids carrying pal
