We test for age and metallicity gradients in the Galactic Bulge between the two low extinction windows Baade's window (l = 1°.1 b = -4°.8) and Sagittarius-I (l = 1°.3 b = -2°.7). We derive a metallicity difference of ≤ 0.2 dex between BW and SGR-I window. This corresponds to a metallicity gradient of 1.3 dex kpc-1. This steep gradient is reconcilable with the existence of a short scale length inne
Research on children's literature mainly involves literary texts. This article focuses on the underresearched genre of information books, and analyses the Swedish translation of a French information book intended for children aged 4-7. The source and target texts are studied from a Hallidayan perspective by situating the texts in their respective contexts of situation and culture, and comparing th
Embryonic allografted human tissue in patients with Parkinson's disease has been shown to survive and ameliorate many of the symptoms of this disease. Despite this success, the practical problems of using this tissue coupled to the ethical restrictions of using aborted human fetal tissue have lead to an exploration for alternative sources of suitable material for grafting, including xenogeneic emb
The simulation toolkit Geant4 was originally developed at CERN for high-energy physics. Over the years it has been established as a swiss army knife not only in particle physics but it has seen an accelerated expansion towards nuclear physics and more recently to medical imaging and y- and ion-therapy to mention but a handful of new applications. The validity of Geant4 is vast and large across man
In analysing speeches made by legislators, this book provides theoretical and empirical answers to questions such as: Why do some Members of Parliament (MPs) take the parliamentary floor and speak more than others, and why do some MPs deviate more than others from the ideological position of their party? The authors evaluate their hypotheses on legislative speechmaking by considering parliamentary
This report focuses on CFD-calculations using parallel processors carried out with the software Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). From a users point of view the advantages and disadvantages with parallel CFD-calculations were analyzed and evaluated. A simplified me-thod for quantitative evaluation was developed with guidance from ASTM E 1355 whereu-pon relative differences between serial reference sc
There are several accident investigation methods and they are used in a wide range of fields. However, the methods have not been used so much in the fire accident area. In the present thesis, the methods’ capability to investigate fires and what they result in are explored. In addition, answers are given concerning how important the background information is for their applicability. First, a selec
Repatriation has been proclaimed as the important right of an individual to go back home and returnees are often seen as substantial force for development and reconstruction of their home countries. It is assumed that once the reasons that force people to flee are eliminated, people will want to return back. There is a separate repatriation program in Sweden that aims to support those who decide t
Denna rapport analyserar brandskyddet och möjligheten till säker utrymning vid Frejaskolan i Gnesta. Analysens fokus ligger på personsäkerheten vid händelse av brand. Rapporten är en del i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering som ges på brandingenjörsprogrammet vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Arbetet inleddes med ett studiebesök där de aktuella lokalerna studerades och information om det befintliga bra
