From the ultraviolet induced absorption, we have found a broad blue band and little involvement of Pr ions in ultraviolet illumination. Ultraviolet excited photoluminescence and the excitation spectra for visible emission were also measured in Pr:LiNbO3. We estimated photovoltaic constant and photoconductivity by measuring photovoltaic current and voltage with different boundary conditions. With u

Background: Anoxic brain injury is the primary cause of death after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and prognostication is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of two fragments of tau as serum biomarkers for neurological outcome. Methods: Single-center sub-study of 171 patients included in the Target Temperature Management (TTM) Trial randomly a

Background: This study investigated the association of two levels of targeted temperature management (TTM) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with administered doses of sedative and analgesic drugs, serum concentrations, and the effect on time to awakening. Methods: This substudy of the TTM2-trial was conducted at three centers in Sweden, with patients randomized to either hypothermia or

Doktorsavhandlingen ger inblick i en betydelsefull konsekrerande beslutsprocess inom det svenska konstfältet under perioden 1885–1920. Den analyserar de sociala strukturer som bar fram Nationalmuseums inköpsnämnds och museinämnds årliga beslutsförslag till Kungl. Maj:t om vilka oljemålningar, skapade av vid tiden levande svenska konstnärer, som skulle inlemmas i samlingarna och vilka som skulle exThis dissertation examines the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts (Nationalmuseum) as a consecrating institution of fine art, between 1885 and 1920. A time influenced by major events such as the First World War, Sweden’s industrial revolution and the advent of universal suffrage. During this period, the production and consumption of the Arts was characterised by rivalry between three fractions,

Background: The CREST model is a prediction model, quantitating the risk of circulatory-etiology death (CED) after cardiac arrest based on variables available at hospital admission, and intend to guide the triage of comatose patients without ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This study assessed performance of the CREST model in the Target Te

Objective: A pay for performance programme was introduced in 2009 by a Swedish county with 1.6 million inhabitants. A process measure with payment linked to coding for medication reviews among the elderly was adopted. We assessed the association with inappropriate medication for five years after baseline.Design and setting: Observational study that compared medication for elderly patients enrolled

Autoimmune (type 1) diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease without a cure. It affects primarily young people but may be diagnosed at any age. Strong genetic susceptibility characterizes the most common form of autoimmune diabetes in children younger than 18 years of age. Autoimmune diabetes is generally assumed to be hereditary, although the majority of patients do not have a family history of aut

BACKGROUND: Highly increased risk of injuries has been noted around the time of cancer diagnosis. Whether there is a similar increase in risk around the diagnosis of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions was unknown.METHODS: We performed a cohort study including 3,016,307 Swedish women that participated in cervical screening during 2001 to 2012. We calculated the incidence rates (IR) of hospit

Modern vibrational spectroscopy techniques enable the rapid collection of thousands of spectra in a single hyperspectral image, allowing researchers to study spatially heterogeneous samples at micrometer resolution. A number of algorithms have been developed to correct for effects such as atmospheric absorption, light scattering by cellular structures and varying baseline levels. After preprocessi

The transdisciplinary fields of design and feminist technoscience share a common interest in focusing on the world in a state of always becoming, always changing. Within feminist technoscience, norm-critical perspectives are implemented to shed light on unequal sociotechnical infrastructures. Within design research, generative methods of critical design and design fiction encourage processes of fi

The paper investigates the potential for a packet switching network for real-time image processing by a Cellular Neural Network (CNN) implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate-Array (FPGA). The implementation of a CNN requires several parameter restrictions with respect to the universal concept. For instance, the number representation and the cloning template are often confined to respectively 8 bi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Personer som är deprimerade löper större risk att begå självmord än de som har andra psykiska störningar. Studier har visat att cirka 6-15% av alla patienter med affektiv sjukdom begår självmord. Vidare har det visat sig att cirka hälften av alla människor som tar livet av sig har haft en depression. Man har därför sökt efter riskfaktSuicide in Severe Depression. A Longitudinal Case-Control Study. The present thesis is based on a case-control study of suicide victims with a severe depression/ melancholia. All patients admitted to the Department of Psychiatry 1956-1969 who received this diagnosis on a multiaxial schedule (1206 patients) were followed up in two sessions to 1984 and to 1998 concerning suicide and general mortali

Immunocytochemical studies revealed that parathyroid glands of chicken, rat, guinea-pig, cat, dog and sheep contained adren

This paper addresses Test Application Time (TAT) reduction for core-based 3D Stacked ICs (SICs). Applying traditional test scheduling methods used for non-stacked chip testing where the same test schedule is applied both at wafer test and at final test to SICs, leads to unnecessarily high TAT. This is because the final test of 3D-SICs includes the testing of all the stacked chips. A key challenge

Antibody microarray is a novel technology that will allow us to efficiently perform global proteome analysis. Performing rapid and multiplexed analysis on complex proteomes, such as human serum, targeting also low-abundant analytes will, however, place high demands upon the microarray design with respect to logistics, specificity and sensitivity. In this study, we have shown that non-purified affi

In this paper we propose a scheme for test planning and test access mechanism (TAM) design for stacked integrated circuits (SICs) that are designed in a core-based manner. Our scheme minimizes the test cost, which is given as the weighted sum of the test time and the TAM width. The test cost is evaluated for a test flow that consists of a wafer sort test of each individual chip and a package test
