Autoantibodies of different specificites have been described in association with glomerulonephritis and therefore the aim of this thesis was to improve our knowledge of the different manifestations of autoimmune phenomena which are involved in the glomerulonephritides. Special reference is made to Wegener´s granulomatosis (WG) and microscopic polyangiitis (MP) which are frequently associated with

In this article, we present an overview of empirical research on boards and governance in leading U.S. and international academic journals in general management. Samples, methods, theories, and main concepts are presented and compared. The contributions are positioned with respect to contingency perspectives, behavioral perspectives, and evolutionary perspectives. Through an analysis of 127 empiri

Abstract in Danish Kapitler handler om, hvad alder er, og hvordan menneskers livssituation former mennesker gennem livet mere end en kronologisk alder. Vi ældes fra vi er midt i 20'erne, og det er en nødvendighed for at være i livet.

Funded by European Community and Swiss government research project AZEP (Advanced Zero Emission Power Plant), the project was carried out at the Department of Energy Sciences at Lund Faculty of Engineering (LTH). The project addressed the development of a specific, zero emissions, gas turbine-based, power generation process to reduce local and global emissions in a cost-effective way. In this proj

The severe fouling common in food processing puts high demands on equipment cleaning. Adsorption of the protein betalactoglobulin to solid surfaces and its subsequent removal were followed using in situ ellipsometry. Most experiments were done in a stirred cuvette. Additionally, a flow cell was designed, which was employed in some work. The characteristics of the surface were shown to influence p

The use of multifilament fibres in composites is increasing. For usability, health effects and comfort it is important to include human aspects already in the development of materials and handling techniques. This paper presents a pilot experiment for designing further experiments on emission of particles and fibres from multifilament fibres during friction, bending and tensile forces.

In "Temperate Women. Educators, Entrepreneurs and Political Agents. The White Ribbon 1900–1930" the female Christian temperance union, the White Ribbon, is in focus. The organization’s ambition was to create a temperate and moral society, running a variety of philanthropic institutions and adult education, as well as non-alcohol restaurants. The aim of the thesis is to study the White Ribbon’s so

This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic so-called stiff systems in one space dimension with large relaxation term depending on a small parameter $delta$. In this case the symmetrizer for the modified symbol of the system, in general, depends on the wave number $omega$ and does not define a quadratic entropy. Therefore, the concept of stiff well-posedness of the Cauchy problem appea
