Syngas produced by gasification, which contains a high hydrogen content, has significant potential. The variation in the hydrogen content and dilution combustion are effective means to improve the steady combustion of syngas and reduce NOx emissions. OH planar laser-induced fluorescence technology (OH-PLIF) was applied in the present investigation of the turbulence of a premixed flame of syngas wi
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) arises from mesothelial cells lining the pleural cavity of asbestos-exposed individuals and rapidly leads to death. MPM harbors loss-of-function mutations in BAP1, NF2, CDKN2A, and TP53, but isolated deletion of these genes alone in mice does not cause MPM and mouse models of the disease are sparse. Here, we show that a proportion of human MPM harbor point muta
Since the seminal works by Brodmann and contemporaries, it is well-known that different brain regions exhibit unique cytoarchitectonic and myeloarchitectonic features. Transferring the approach of classifying brain tissues – and other tissues – based on their intrinsic features to the realm of magnetic resonance (MR) is a longstanding endeavor. In the 1990s, atlas-based segmentation replaced earli
The updated H-band spectral-line list (from λ15000-17000) adopted by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) for the SDSS-IV Data Release 16 (DR16) is presented in this work. The APOGEE line list is a combination of atomic and molecular lines, with data drawn from laboratory, theoretical, and astrophysical sources. Oscillator strengths and damping constants are adjusted
The exploitation of ultrafast electron dynamics in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) holds enormous potential forintense, compact mode-locked terahertz (THz) sources, squeezed THz light, frequency mixers, and comb-basedmetrology systems. Yet the important sub-cycle dynamics have been notoriously difficult to access in operationalTHz QCLs. Here, we employ high-field THz pulses to perform the first ultr
Image processing provides tools for image enhancement and extraction of information from images. Modification of the colour table allows for amplification of the contrast in certain pixel-value intervals while the contrast is suppressed in other intervals. This can in turn be used to selectively enhance the displayed image in intervals of special importance to the current problem. One of the most
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a relatively new approach to analyze gene expression data that models data by additive combinations of non-negative basis vectors (metagenes). The non-negativity constraint makes sense biologically as genes may either be expressed or not, but never show negative expression. We applied NMF to five different microarray data sets. We estimated the appropriat
BACKGROUND: To investigate whether the repeatability of measurements with the Pentacam HR in patients with keratoconus is improved by patients gaining more experience of the measurement situation. Such an improvement could enhance the accuracy with which progressive keratoconus can be detected. METHODS: Four replicate measurements were performed on Day 0 and on Day 3. Parameters commonly used in t
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the incremental cost-effectiveness of on-demand versus prophylactic hemophilia therapy in Iran from a third-party payers’ perspective.Methods: A retrospective chart review of twenty-five type A hemophiliacs who were treated in three hemophilia treatment centers was conducted. The patients were boys 0–9 years old receiving one of two treatments: (i) pr
I och med min utbildning till lärare i musik- och svenska som andraspråk vill jag låta dessa ämnesområden sammanfläta i mitt examensarbete. I och med den flyktingström som påverkat hela vårt land har skolsituationen i Sverige förändrats. Antalet nyanlända elever i skolan har ökat och många av dem ska få undervisning i musik. Detta är ett uppdrag som musiklärare inte varit beredda på. Därför är syf
Indico is the main conference event manager where talks in high energy physics are published online. Indico allows to access presentation from conferences, but it does not yet organize them coherently or make them easily citable by others. To solve this, we want to write code for Indico users that saves not only presentations used during conferences but also their metadata. This will make it easie
I ett allt mer individbaserat samhälle, med ett skifte från normer när det gäller levnadssätt till allas unika livsval, ser vi ett ökat behov av boende för olika typer av konstellationer. Kärnfamiljen är inte lika självklar längre, ensamhushållen är fler och separationer är vanligt. Människor kan välja att bli förälder på egen hand och tvåsamhet som en självklarhet ifrågasätts helt och hållet. Vi
The thesis seeks to through institutional theory identify institutional factors that shape the seemingly contradictable behavior of trade unions towards undocumented migrant workers. Using institutional theory, the discussion about trade unions relationship to undocumented migrant workers can be shifted from morality and ideology to a question of possibilities. By comparing trade unions relationsh
Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka arbetsmiljöbrottets rättsliga konstruktion och bakomliggande motiv. Uppsatsen avser också att kritiskt granska hur domstolarna förhåller sig till arbetsmiljöbrott som något annat än våld. Det dör ett stort antal personer till följd av arbetsmiljöbrottslighet i Sverige varje år. Med denna uppsats vill jag visa att händelserna trots detta i vissa sammanhang
