Amelogenin is a multifaced protein, playing an essential role in the formation of enamel where it directs the biomineralisation of hydroxyapatite. The self-assembling properties of amelogenin are highly applicable in the development of novel biomaterials and drug-delivery platforms, and the regenerative properties of the protein are today widely explored in clinical dentistry and wound healing. Us
För att robotar skall vara praktiska behöver de ha en flexibel uppfattning om sin omgivning och deras egen position i den, men de metoder som finns för detta idag är ofta väldigt krävande. I det här projektet har en förenklad metod för kartläggning i realtid med en drönare utvecklats. Algoritmen behandlar ett enklare problem än de vanliga tredimensionella problemen - istället för att titta framåt As digital cameras become cheaper and better, computers more powerful, and robots more abundant the merging of these three techniques also becomes more common and capable. The combination of these techniques is often inspired by the human visual system and often strives to give machines the same capabilities that humans already have, such as object identification, navigation, limb coordination, an
In this study, the use of prefabricated language in academic abstracts is investigated, as well as the functions of prefabricated expressions (prefabs) in this type of text. By analysing ten abstracts taken from peer-reviewed articles in the field of Linguistics, the amount of prefabs is calculated, and their pragmatic roles investigated. The results are then compared to previous research within t
Background: Historically, the risk management activities in Gambro have been focused to ensure safety for patients and users of the company’s products where Regulatory and legal demands have driven the development. Lately, the need for a similar approach to assess and manage business risks has risen. When an earthquake hit the company’s facilities in northern Italy in 2012, the company did not hav
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Dynamiken och mönstret under Weichselisens, dvs den senaste inlandsisens, deglaciationsfas är inte bara studieobjekt i Skandinavien utan även på andra sidan Östersjön, i nordöstra Tyskland och Polen. Vid geologiska institutionen drivs NFR (Naturvetenskapliga forskningsrådet)-projektet ”Anomala isrörelser i NV Polen och NÖ Tyskland under Weichselisens avsmältningCoastal cliffs on the southern coast of Greifswalder Bodden, NE Germany, has been studied in detail at representative sections by means of lithological and structural mapping, clast fabric analyses and sampling for grain size distribution and rock composition analyses. Three genetically different diamict units (I, II and III) were distinguished. Unit I and II consists of mainly massive, sandy diam
"Software as a Service" (SaaS) concept emerged in the late twentieth century as a new software delivered model and is outstanding in terms of swift software delivery. Some analysts predict that the unique of some characteristics in SaaS motivate software providers to offer many types of software as a service. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system has been delivered by providers a
I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo
The ever increasing volume of air transport necessitates new technologies to be adopted by the flight industry to fulfill the requirements of safety, security, affordability, and environmental friendliness while still meeting the growing demand. What we need to achieve this goal is a new type of aircraft cruise control, interconnecting all the onboard active control systems and making more accurat
Wireless technologies, cloud computing and connectivity have enabled mobile services that extend the coverage of health services, resulting in a branch of eHealth now commonly referred to as mHealth. However, at least in Sweden, where the healthcare sector is heavily institutionalized and regulated, mHealth has so far mainly evolved in the form of applications for support of healthy life-style and
Power production represents one fourth to one third of all CO2 emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in one way to approach the increasing problem with CO2 emissions from fossil fuelled power plants. The CO2 is separated, compressed and transported to a final storing site. To allow more efficient transport and to match the pressure of the final storing site, the CO2 is compressed to a superc
This thesis illuminates the deliberative democratic ideal's claim for efficiency and legitimacy that is brought forward by Robyn Eckersley and John S. Dryzek as being an essential brick in the struggle for a societal development that is ecologically sustainable. The take off lies in the belief that the current liberal democracy is incapable of responding sufficiently to the ecological problems
The recommendations (ref. 1) of the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CNIC) on the nomenclature of the transfermium elements (101-109, inclusive) were considered by the IUPAC Bureau at Guildford (UK) in September 1995. As a result of the various criticisms of the recommendations and theway that they had been processed, the Bureau decided to adopt the recommendations as provisional
We use historical data on union density and new historical data on policies toward migrants to study the long-run relationship between the strength of trade unions and the social and economic rights of migrants in the Global North. In countries with strong trade unions, there was, for a long time, a widening distance between the rights of migrants and the rights of citizens, probably because the r
Today we can observe an increasing spatial divide as some large urban regions and many more medium-sized and small regions face growing problems such as decreasing labour demand, increasing unemployment and an ageing population. In view of these trends, this book offers a better understanding of the general characteristics and specific drivers of the geographies of growth. It shows how these may v
