Enligt författarnas mångåriga erfarenhet från kustprojekt runt om i Sverige föreligger ett stort behov av en förbättrad terminologi på svenska vad gäller ingenjörsmässiga frågeställningar och planering av kustområden.Föreliggande artikel presenterar således en engelsk-svensk ordlista, inklusive förklarande kommentarer, med syfte att klargöra en lång rad ord och uttryck. Denna finns också att tillg

We demonstrate proof of principle of an efficient and simple method combining sample preparation and stretching of DNA in a single device that can be used as basis for an integrated portable system for optical DNA mapping. An important bottleneck for DNA mapping, as well as for other methods, is the isolation of long DNA molecules from a background of contaminants such as shorter DNA fragments, dy

We present the first one-step acoustic separation of high quality plasma and mononuclear cells (MNCs) from undiluted human whole blood. This enables centrifugation-free integration in analytical instrumentation.

Implementing electrically connected metal-coated posts in a Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) device and applying electric fields, we use electrokinetics to achieve tunable particle separations and to trap and manipulate DNA. The strength of DLD stems from its typically binary behavior. Particles move in one out of two trajectories based on their effective size. For particles that are close

We developed the AcouWash (Figures 1 and 2), a benchtop instrument for flow-through cell and particle separation by acoustophoresis. Building on previous research [1-4] AcouWash can re-suspend cells in new medium, separate cells based on size or acoustic properties, or enrich cells, Figure 3. We present our initial evaluation of AcouWash regarding size-based separation of particles, cell washing,

In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp

Based on articles published 1990-2004 in 21 LIS journals, a set of co-citation analyses were performed to study changes in research fronts over the last 15 years, where LIS is at now; and to discuss where it is heading. To study research fronts, here defined as current and influential co-cited papers, a citations among documents methodology was applied; and to study changes, the analyses were time

Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teach

This report presents results regarding fear of crime amongst young people in a small Swedish town, Ljungby. It also considers the experience of violence and other types of crime. A questionnaire was distributed to 320 students in upper secondary school during October 2001. The results from these questionnaires shows that female students more often than male students state that they are worried whe
