The title compound, [ Pt( NO3)(2)( C2H6S)(2)], crystallizes in the P2(1)/ n space group ( Z' = 2), with pseudo- square- planar coordination geometry. The complex forms dimers with pseudosymmetry C-i arranged in columns along the b- axis direction, with Pt center dot center dot center dot Pt distances of 6.3056 ( 3) and 4.2382 ( 2) angstrom ( at 150 K). Each column is surrounded by six other column
In order to produce drinking water, coagulants - such as aluminium salts - are widely used for precipitation and separation of impurities from raw water. The residual from the process is sludge, which presents a disposal problem. The REAL process is a method for recycling the aluminium from the sludge. In a first step, the aluminium hydroxide is dissolved in sulphuric acid. In a second step, an ul
Cocoa is a well acknowledged polyphenol-rich functional product. However, the mechanisms and effects of cocoa products on glucose metabolism and appetite regulation are not clear. A crossover randomised study was carried out in twenty (4male; 16female) healthy middle-age (62.6 ± 6.5 yr) subjects with normal BMI (23.0 ± 2.0 kg/m2). Effects on postprandial glucose-, insulin- and subjective appetite
We have studied the fragmentation of the methanol molecule after core excitation and core ionization by observing coincidences between negative and positive ions. Five different negative ions (H-, C-, CH-, O-, and OH-) were observed at both the C 1s and O 1s edges. As negative ion formation occurs after resonant and normal Auger decay of core-hole states, it is necessarily linked with the release
The aim of this study was to examine how high paid and low paid individuals differ when it comes to personality and intelligence. The study has answered the following research question; “What is the relationship between specific personality traits, intelligence and how financially successful someone becomes?”. The study consisted of a quantitative method with questionnaires as the basis for the da
A new simple, reproducible and sensitive ELISA that uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for the coating of lipooligosaccharide (LOS), smooth lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipid A to the solid phase has been developed. The experimental parameters (temperature of coating, time of coating, antigen concentration and TCA concentration) were evaluated by a complete factorial design (24). As a result of the ev
The purpose of this essay was to analyze the collapse of democracy in the Weimar Republic. This was done by analyzing some of the most turbulent crises in its history like the communists attempt to take power in 1919, the kapp-putsch of 1920, hyperinflation 1923 and the economic depression 1929-1933. The method that I used in this essay is called methodological individualism. It was an analytical
The purpose of the present study was to examine the potential effectiveness of a group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with residual significant clinical symptoms after being stabilized on medication. All adult patients with ADHD in an outpatient psychiatric clinic who had been stabilized on medication but still showed clinical sig
Lime-hemp concrete is an old insulation material, made out of hemp shiv and lime, making its way back onto the market. This thesis focuses on the usage of lime-hemp as an alternative insulation material for restoration of older wooden buildings in the town of Visby in Gotland, Sweden. The aim of this report is to investigate fire resistance properties of lime-hemp concrete and to compare it to oth
The objective of this report was to investigate different types of glass when exposed to heat radiation from a typical fire in a dangerous goods carrier. The purpose was to evaluate if tempered glass could be used in facades instead of the more expensive fire resistant glass. Experiments were made in a cone calorimeter where different thicknesses of laminated, tempered and fire resistant glass wer
I mitt arbete har jag valt att studera kopplingen mellan musik och bildkonst. Min upplevelse är att musik blir förstärkt av konsten och vice versa. Jag har skrivit kompositioner som ska spelas till ljusfilmer av ljuskonstnären Åsa Wirling. Hon kommer projicera filmer på en duk, samt på musikerna. Musik talar starkare till mig genom bild och vad jag valt att studera är förhållandet mellan musik ochIn the preparations for my degree concert, I have chosen to study the connection between music and visual art. In my opinion, music becomes stronger in collaboration with other art genres and vice versa. My original compositions will be performed live, with abstract films made by the light artist, Åsa Wirling, will be projected simultaneously behind and on the band. To me, music speaks stronger th
This paper investigates differences in perception of leadership and well-being between guest workers and native workers in Sweden. Guest workers are individuals who take up temporary employment in a foreign country. While previous research has found cultural differences in well-being, there is limited research investigating the well-being of guest workers in a host country. Similarly, previous res
Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm
