The wobbling excitations in the presence of an appreciable amount of alignment are expected to appear more easily at lower angular momenta of the yrast spectra, compared with those in the textbook example. The large B(E2;I-->I-1) value for Delta(n) over cap =1 transitions where (n) over cap expresses the number of wobbling phonons is shown to be a strongly increasing function of the triaxiality pa
The adsorption of a single and negatively charged polyion with varying flexibility onto a surface carrying both negative and positive charges representing a charged membrane surface has been investigated by using a simple model employing Monte Carlo simulations. The polyion was represented by a sequence of negatively charged hard spheres connected with harmonic bonds. The charged surface groups we
Extremal control of Wiener type processes is considered. These modelsconsists of a linear part followed by a static nonlinearity. We will considernonlinearities having one extremum point. The purpose is tokeep the output of the process as close as possible to the extremum point.The main problem in the control of this kind of processesis the non-uniqueness of the inverseof the nonlinearity. This ca
Resurgence of microbialites and anachronistic facies in the aftermath of Phanerozoic extinction events has hitherto only been documented among the "major five." Based on the classical Silurian carbonate platform strata of Gotland, Sweden, a "minor" biotic event is herein for the first time related to a substantial increase in anachronistic facies. Strata deposited during and shortly after the Lau
Recently, common noncoding variants in the TCF7L2 gene were strongly associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in samples from Iceland, Denmark, and the U.S. We genotyped 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across TCF7L2 in 8,310 individuals in family-based and case-control designs from Scandinavia, Poland, and the U.S. We convincingly confirmed the previous association of TCF7L2 SNP
Hypertension in primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) was previously attributed to hypercalcemia per se or to impaired kidney function. Of 441 consecutive patients operated on for HPT over 24 years, 57% were hypertensive. Preoperative blood pressure remained fairly constant during the study period, despite otherwise markedly changing clinical picture with, latterly, more asymptomatic patients. The pre
This is the first paper out of two dealing with heat transfer, water removal and energy efficiencies in an impulse unit in the pilot-scale research paper machine EuroFEX, located at the Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute (STFI) in Stockholm, Sweden. The paper produced was made of kraft pulp and with basis weights of 60-120 g/m(2). The roll surface temperature ranged from ambient temperature
This paper presents terms and definitions for capillary electromigration techniques for separation, qualitative and quantitative analysis and physico-chemical characterization. Names and descriptions for such techniques (e.g., capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography) as well as terms for the phenomenon of electroosmotic flow are included.
The seed oil in Macadamia integrifolia contains about 30% palmitoleic acid (16:1(Delta9)) and Nerium oleander about 12% isoricinoleic acid (Delta9-hydroxy-18:1(Delta12)). It has been shown that palmitoleic acid can be produced by acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) desaturases and it has also been shown that fatty acid hydroxylation can occur via direct substitution of a hydrogen atom. Therefore it se
In this paper we study the influence of phase noise from free-running local oscillators on SAGE signal parameter estimation. Phase noise is here modeled as a random-walk process. We present phase noise estimates from our LUND RUSK MIMO channel sounder, and draw conclusions on requirements on local oscillators' phase noise in terms of the Allan variance. We investigate an error propagation effect i
This paper describes an instrument - the Housing Enabler - used in the assessment of housing accessibility. The tool was developed from the original Enabler idea by Steinfeld et al (1979), resulting in an instrument for reliable assessment of the accessibility of the housing environment and the immediate outdoor environment in terms of occupational therapy. Apart from a description of the instrume
Abstract in Spanish Inger Enkvist, catedrática de español de la Universidad de Lund, Suecia, trabajó durante tres años en un proyecto de investigación junto con Ángel Sahuquillo, de la Universidad de Sodertorn, también en Suecia, en un proyecto titulado ”Identidad e ideología en la literatura hispánica: un estudio basado en la obra de Juan Goytisolo”. El resultado más interesante no fue los aspect
Intensive harvesting of forest residues for energy production may lead to the depletion of organic matter and mineral nutrients in the forest floor. In order to restore nutrient content wood ash has been suggested as a fertiliser. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi arc involved in the nutrient uptake of forest trees and this study investigates the influence of intensive harvesting and wood ash fertilisati
