Picosecond spectrally resolved fluorescent measurements together with the coupled kinetic rate equation model simulations of the data have been employed to determine the rates and pathways of heterogeneous excitation transport in the membranes of photosynthetic bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Chromatium minutissimum. Excitation transport from bacteriochlorophyll molecules B800 to B850, belong
Theatre is often seen as an act to entertain or provoke, however the main argument of this paper is that theatre also can be seen as a process to build peace.

The aim of this study was to find out if hypertext structure has any relevance for the efficiency of information retrieval. An experiment, in which three variants of hypertext structure were compared, was carried out in the autumn of 1998. Three websites with different structures were constructed for this purpose: a sequential version, a hierarchical version and a webcluster version. 44 subjects,
The main purpose of this study was to establish to what extent undergraduate students use reference services, what knowledge they have about those services and what their views of them are. The survey took place at Lund University Library, UB1, the main library responsible for collections in social sciences, humanities, theology and law. A total of 476 undergraduate students were asked to fill in
The aim of this study is to investigate the public libraries use of their websites in their marketing. Our study is based on the websites of 60 public libraries. The libraries are chosen because of their geographical location in three different provinces? Skåne in the south, Östergötland in the middle and Norrbotten in the north. These three choices enable us to cover densely as well as thinly pop
