Prior to the 1990 Iraq-Kuwait conflict it was well known that Iraq had developed weapons of mass destruction but the extent of its programs were unclear. After the Iraqi defeat in the ensuing Gulf war 1991 the UN Security Council authorized the creation of UN Special Commission for Iraq (UNSCOM) with the purpose of ridding Iraq permanently of weapons of mass destruction. Several conclusions can be

”Utdrivningen av det armeniska folket i öknen” var titeln på ett diabildsföredrag som tyske n Armin T. Wegner höll den 19 mars 1919 i Berlin. Det är en gripande berättelse framförd av ett av dem främsta ögonvittnen till armeniska folkmordet under första världskriget i Osmanska imperiet. Som tysk sjukvårdare i turkiska arméns tjänst hade Wegner möjlighet att träffa och intervjua folkmordsoffren, fö

We present a comparative exploratory analysis of two proximity networks of mobile phone users, the Proximates network and the Reality Mining network. Data for both networks were collected from mobile phones carried by two groups of users. Periodic Bluetooth scans were performed to detect the proximity of other mobile phones. The Reality Mining project took place in 2004-2005 at MIT, while Proximat

Fantastiska fåglar tar oss med på en fascinerande och omväxlande resa från lappugglor och kungsörnar uppe i norr till afrikanska hornskator och albatrosser i syd. Brutus Östlings högst personliga fågelporträtt har funnit hängivna betraktare långt utanför de rena fågelentusiasternas krets, och hans tidigare böcker har även sålts till USA, Kanada, Australien och Storbritannien.

Time-resolved laser spectroscopy has been performed to study the radiative properties of various microscopic systems. Using Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) techniques, natural radiative lifetimes have been studied not only in neutral B, S, Ge, Ce, Pb, and in singly ionized V, Fe, Zr, Mo, La, Ce, Eu, Gd and Yb, but also in doubly ionized La, Ce, Pr, Eu, Er, Gd, Tm, Lu, and W. Data are compared wit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Trots att vår kropp är uppbygd av ett stort antal celler med så olika funktioner som att skapa ben och försvara oss mot infektioner, innehåller alla celler samma genetiska information. Denna information är lagrad i cellens chromosomer i form av DNA och cell specifica egenskaper uppstår då olika delar av kromosomernas information används i olika vävnader. Således, måste The development of immature progenitor cells into highly differentiated effector cells is a process central in modern medicine with applications in the fields of cell therapy as well as oncology. This thesis is focused on the molecular mechanisms that control the development of B lymphocytes. This is a complex and tightly regulated process involving several stages proceeding from stem cells to ant

Presumption of Equality requires that individuals be treated equally in the absence of relevant information that would discriminate between them. Our objective is to make this principle more precise, if viewed as a principle of fairness, and to determine why and under what conditions it should be obeyed. Presumption norms are procedural constraints, but their justification can be sought in the pos
