Between 1980 and 1983, 10 patients received high performance silicone rubber condylar implants for the treatment of isolated degenerative changes of the scaphotrapezial joint. Early clinical and radiographic results (at a mean of 15 months) were excellent. Late follow up of these 10 together with a further 11 patients, however, showed migration of the implant and radiological signs of silicone par

In time-selected migration birds adapt their fuel deposition and flight behaviour to maximise sustained migration speed. What are the expectations for the final part of spring migration when the transition to breeding takes place and the criterion of a maximum total migration speed is no longer relevant? Two possible strategies representing different ends of the capital – income spectrum are evalu

We use a variational approach to find the best constants for certain Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on the real line. To show the existence of a minimizer, we use the method of concentration-compactness.

Optically controlled one-dimensional photonic crystal structures for the THz range are studied both theoretically and experimentally. A GaAs:Cr layer constitutes a defect in the photonic crystals studied; its photoexcitation by 800 nm optical femtosecond pulses leads to the modulation of the THz beam. Since the THz field can be localized in the photoexcited layer of the photonic crystal, the inter

The local well-posedness of a generalized Camassa-Holm equation is established by means of Kato's theory for quasilinear evolution equations and two types of results for the blow-up of solutions with smooth initial data are given.

The grocery market in Sweden is mainly divided between six different retailers who together have some 95% market share. The rest of the market is divided between thousands of different actors, selling groceries in other ways than the main retailers. This 5% market is interesting to investigate and the purpose is to identify the opportunities and barriers for those alternative food distributers. B

SLU (Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet) har ett pågående projekt i ett område i södra Skåne sedan 1989 där de studerar hur bekämpningsmedel i åar korrelerar med vad som används på åkrarna. Ett nytt projekt, initierat av SGI (Statens Geotekniska Institut), kallat PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in Skåne) har påbörjat en undersökning i samma område för att studeSLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) have had a project ongoing in a catchment area in southern Skåne for 20 years where they study how pesticide occurrence in surface waters correlate to the sort and amount used on the agricultural fields. A new project started by SGI (Swedish Geotechnical Institute) called PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in

During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

Using the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (MBR), obstetrical and demographic information was retrieved for 250 children with autism or Asperger syndrome who were born in Malmoe, Sweden, and enrolled at the local Child and Youth Habilitation Center. The reference group consisted of all children born in Malmoe during 1980-2005. Obstetric sub-optimality (prematurity, low Apgar scores, growth restricti

We report on the realization of a novel interdigitated cantilever array with electrostatic control of the shape of the interdigitated array. It consists of an array of SiO2/metal double-finger cantilevers in a grating configuration together with an electrical connection part. The complete grating structure is fabricated with nanoimprint lithography, UV lithography and reactive ion etching. The pat

This paper describes a system for haptic object categorization. It consists of a robotic hand, the LUCS Haptic Hand I, together with software modules that to some extent simulate the functioning of the primary and the secondary somatosensory cortices. The haptic system is the first one in a project at LUCS aiming at studying haptic perception. In the project, several robotic hands together with co

The leukocyte response in inflammation is characterized by an initial recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) preceding a second wave of monocytes to the site of injury or infection. In the mouse, 2 populations of monocytes have been identified, Gr1-CCR2-CX3CR1(hi) resident monocytes and Gr1+CCR2+CX3CR1(lo) inflammatory monocytes. Here, intravital microscopy of the musculus cremasterand

Lipids have been implicated in beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling. In such a role, lipases in beta-cells would be required to generate lipid coupling factors. We have shown previously that glucose stimulates lipolysis in rodent islets. In addition, lipolysis and diacylglycerol lipase activity in islets are abolished by orlistat, an irreversible lipase inhibitor with a broad specificity for subs
