In this paper, the potential to reduce CO2 emissions from dimethyl carbonate production by switching from the traditional phosgene-based production to a urea-based CO2 utilization process is assessed. The total CO2 emission for each process is estimated, including emissions related to the carbon content of the products, energy consumption in the production process, and energy consumption in the pr

Aims: To use a qualitative research study to analyze the experiences of patients with nonspecific chronic orofacial pain with respect to consultations for their pain condition. Methods: Fourteen patients (11 women and 3 men; age range, 21 to 77 years) were strategically selected through a purposive sampling of the chronic orofacial pain patients referred to the Orofacial Pain Unit at the Faculty o

Several lines of evidence indicate a causal role of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 in the development of type 2 diabetes in humans. Two common polymorphisms in the promoter of the IL-6 encoding gene IL6, -174G > C (rs1800795) and -573G > C (rs1800796), have been investigated for association with type 2 diabetes in numerous studies but with results that have been largely equivocal. To clarify the

The aim was to study implementation and efficacy of two intervention techniques for risky alcohol consumption in university students. One technique was the Responsible Beverage Service Programme modified for use in students pubs. The other was a cognitive-based education programme (10 hours) for freshman students with risky alcohol consumption that was compared with a mailed personalised drinking

We propose a new third-order multidimensional upwind algorithm for the solution of the flow equations on tetrahedral cells unstructured grids. This algorithm has a compact stencil (cell-based computations) and uses a finite element idea when computing the residual over the cell to achieve its third-order (spatial) accuracy. The construction of the new scheme is presented. The asymptotic accuracy f

Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of eta mesons in the range p(T)approximate to 2-12 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity (vertical bar eta vertical bar < 0.35) by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in p+p,d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV. The eta mesons are reconstructed through their eta ->gamma gamma channel for the three colliding systems as well as through the eta ->pi(0)pi(

Objective To study oxytocin mRNA in the human endometrium at different phases of the menstrual cycle. Design An exploratory study in non-pregnant women. Setting The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lund University Hospital, Sweden. Participants Thirty-three women of fertile age undergoing hysterectomy or endometrial curettage on routine benign gynaecologic indications. Methods Endometr

We investigate the phase transitions in InAs/GaSb quantum wells sandwiched between two wide-gap AlSb barrier layers under an external electric field perpendicular to interfaces. The Schrodinger and the Poisson equations are solved self-consistently to derive the subband dispersions, the potential profile, the electron charge distribution in the InAs layer, and the hole charge distribution in the G

Syftet med detta forskningsprojekt är att undersöka hur ett antal väl dokumenterade experimenthus har fungerat under en tioårsperiod. Undersökningen jämför i första hand uppgifter om energianvändning och de driftfrågor som hör till energianvändningen. Vidare har de boendes upplevda inomhusklimat studerats för att kunna se om, och i så fall hur, experimenthusens låga energianvändning har påverkat d

Essä om Ian Flemings författarskap med fokus på James Bond-serien och de första filmatiseringarna.

We have examined long-term growth-factor expanded human neural progenitors following transplantation into the adult rat brain. Cells, obtained from the forebrain of a 9-week old fetus, propagated in the presence of epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and leukemia inhibitory factor were transplanted into the striatum, subventricular zone (SVZ), and hippocampus. At 14 weeks, imp

Popular Abstract in Swedish ”Luffarturismen” har blivit en populär form av resande. Många svenskar för under en tid - ibland flera månader eller år - en vagabonderande tillvaro på platser långt hemifrån. Resan blir en parentes i vardagen - en extraordinär sfär fylld av förväntningar på äventyret och den äkta upplevelsen. Vad har resenären för bild av det ”Långtbortistan” hon lockas av, och hur skThis dissertation, The Attraction of the Extraordinary - Images and Experiences Among Backpacker Tourists, is a study based on informal interviews with predominantly Swedish independent travellers, as well as observations and documentary analysis of the backpacker subculture. Backpacking is a type of tourism which has been gradually institutionalized. Through the institutionalization of the backpa

Relativistic fragmentation of Pb-208 has been used to produce excited states in neutron-rich nuclei with N approximate to 126. Spectroscopic information for a range of nuclei has been obtained through observing delayed gamma-ray emissions from isomeric states. Preliminary results for Pt-203,Pt-204 nuclei are presented. For the first time, excited states have been observed in Pt-203 and Pt-204. The
