The non-enzymatic browning known as the Maillard reaction has been the subject of extensive investigation for decades. Studies have focused on areas such as changes in flavour, colour, texture, and the nutritional properties of food materials as a result of this reaction. However, this complex reaction between the amino acids in proteins and reducing sugars in carbohydrates, is still not fully und

Massive MIMO (MaMI) is often promoted as a technology that will enable the use of low-quality, cheap hardware. One particular component that has been in the focus of MaMI-related research is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and use of very low-resolution ADCs has been proposed. However, studies about whether this strategy is justified from an energy-efficiency point of view have largely been

Inom nuklearmedicinen utnyttjas radioaktiva läkemedel och strålningen som sänds ut från dessa för att diagnosticera och behandla ett flertal olika sjukdomar. Det radioaktiva läkemedlet ges ofta till patienten som en intravenös injektion, och läkemedlets egenskaper i kombination med patientens fysiologi och eventuella sjukdom avgör hur läkemedlet sedan fördelas, omsätts och utsöndras från kroppen. Many nuclear medicine investigations rely on gamma-camera imaging to study and quantify the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals or radionuclides in the patient as a function of time. This is typically used for diagnostic studies of physiological functions or for calculation of absorbed doses following radionuclide therapy. In this work, computational patient models (phantoms) have been developed

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien handlar om fysiologen Frithiof Holmgrens försök att fastställa seendets natur på experimentell väg. Avsikten är att problematisera Holmgrens intresse för synsinnet mot bakgrund av de metoder och vetenskapliga ideal som var förhärskande inom den experimentella fysiologin, det ämne som Holmgren introducerade i Sverige 1862. Generellt kan man säga att Holmgrens forThis study deals with research on the visual organ as pursued in experimental physiology during the latter half of the nineteenth-century. In the 1850's och 60's experimental physiology developed as a new, scientific discipline within the curriculum of western medicine. By opposing the natural philosophical and vitalistic viewpoint of romantic medicine and by proclaiming measuring devices, animal

We demonstrate a Digital Holographic method where two different substances in a blend can be discerned. The method requires only one set of exposures and one reconstruction in the plane of focus. The large scale phase variation of the phase image is unwrapped by Flynn’s discontinuity algorithm to reveal which regions in the sample the phase has decreased or increased upon transmission of the illumi

This thesis concerns growth and characterization of gold-particle seeded nanowires of III-V semiconductor materials (III-V NWs). The nanowires were grown using metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and characterized by various microscopy techniques. In particular cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy (XSTM) and cathodoluminescence microscopy (CL) were employed to investigate heterost
