The world today stands at a cross roads when it comes to energy and electrical grids. A large part of the worlds population still lacks access to reliable working electricity 24 hours a day. Much of this is in remote and poor parts of the world. For much of the 20th century large centralized AC grids have been the norm to provide people with electricity. But for remote parts of the world including
Antalet rapporterade cancerfall i Sverige har mer än dubblerats sedan 1970-talet. Cancerfonden rapporterade att 61100 personer blev diagnostiserade med cancer under 2015 och att prostatacancer är den mest förekommande typen av cancer. Ett vanligt sätt att behandla prostatacancer är extern strålbehandling, där en strålkälla (vanligtvis en linjäraccelerator) som befinner sig utanför kroppen används Purpose/objective The main objective was to create a software that automates the process of creating treatment plans used for Pareto front-based dose planning for prostate cancer patients. A second objective/purpose was to add a robustness test to this program to evaluate the effect of prostate movements on the treatment plans. Material/method An IronPython program was designed to control and col
During the last decades a brownification of the lakes and streams in the northern hemisphere has been observed. The change has been attributed to an increase of organic content in the water, leached from the top soil layers, called humic substances. Several theories have been proposed to explain the drivers behind the brownification process, among them the decrease of sulfur deposition from reduce
Inom läkemedelssektorn, originalföretagen som investerar stora summor pengar i forskning och utveckling av nya läkemedel vanligtvis söker patent för flera skyddsområden. De försöker utnyttja det monopol ett patent ger för att skydda sina egna originalläkemedel mot generiska läkemedels marknadsinträde och utebliven vinst som det för med sig. Generiska företag för att kunna lansera sina generiska prIn the pharmaceutical sector, originator companies that invest large sum of money in R&D of new medicines usually file patent applications for several areas of protection. They try to take advantage of a monopoly that a patent grants to protect their medicines against generic entry on the market and consequently the loss of profits. Generic companies in order to be able to launch their generic

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur en hållbarhetsmärkning av kläder i en e-handelskontext påverkar ett företags varumärkeskapital. Metod: Studien utgick från en kvantitativ ansats där tre av Aakers (1991) fem dimensioner av kundbaserat varumärkeskapital operationaliserades. I en enkät fördelades respondenterna in i tre grupper som mötte olika stimuli och fick ta ställning till sPurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a sustainability label on clothing in an e-commerce context affects a company's brand equity. Methodology: The study was based on a quantitative approach where three of Aaker’s (1991) five dimensions of customer-based brand equity were operationalized. Respondents of our online survey were divided into three groups, exposed to differen
Performance measurement system, especially the Balanced Score Card (BSC) is gaining increasing popularity among various kinds of organizations, especially these years more and more non-profit organizations such as: schools, hospitals, labor unions, etc., are putting emphasis on the implementation of performance measure system to improve their practice. It was demonstrated that a great amount of ac
Blood plasma is the most complex human-derived proteome, containing other tissue proteomes as subsets. This proteome has only been partially characterized due to the extremely wide dynamic range of the plasma proteins of more than ten orders of magnitude. Thus, the reduction in sample complexity prior to mass spectrometric analysis is particularly important and alternative separation methodologies
Microbial decomposers are responsible for the breakdown of organic matter (OM) and thus regulate soil carbon (C) stocks. During the decomposition of OM, microorganisms can use the assimilated C for biomass production or respire it as CO2, and the fraction of growth to total assimilation defines the microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE). As such, CUE has direct consequences for how microbial decomp
The applicability of the Weibull distribution to model the strength of glass, the existence of a size effect on the strength and the need for a non-destructive testing of the strength are discussed and reviewed. There are a growing number of studies that put into question the applicability of the Weibull distribution to model annealed glass fracture data. A recent study indicates that the breakage
To increase the added value of arracacha flour, a soup type food was designed considering the traditional culinary recipes of this root. The methodology applied for this purpose, allowed to obtain the baked flour, and also the characterization of the physicochemical, functional composition, and in vitro digestibility; as well as to propose some formulations varying the flour contents from 40 to 65
Fractions rich in indigestible carbohydrates, such as fructan and arabinoxylan, are obtained as by-products when ethanol, starch, and gluten are produced from wheat flour. Today, these fractions are used as animal feed. However, these components may have positive physiological effects in humans. In this study, the content of indigestible carbohydrates in distillers' grains and process streams from
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is a neutrophil granule protein with potent bactericidal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing activities. The purpose of this study was to determine if a human recombinant BPI product, rBPI23, would influence neutrophil (PMN) sequestration into various tissues in a rat burn injury model. Leukosequestration may produce local tissue injury from
Red blood cells may regulate tissue circulation and O-2 delivery by releasing the vasodilator ATP in response to hypoxia. When released extracellularly, ATP is rapidly degraded to ADP in the circulation by ectonucleotidases. In this study, we show that ADP acting on P2Y(13) receptors on red blood cells serves as a negative feedback pathway for the inhibition of ATP release. mRNA of the ADP recepto
Objective: To investigate if the improved glucose tolerance previously observed at breakfast following an evening meal with boiled barley kernels derives from colonic events related to the fermentation of the elevated amounts of indigestible carbohydrates present and/or from the low-GI features. Subjects/Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers aged 19–30 years. Design: High-GI white wheat bread (WWB)
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om utveckling och tillämpning av metoder för jonstråleanalys av lätta ämnen (lättare än ungefär aluminium), framförallt vid en nukleär mikrosond. Vid en nukleär mikrosond accelereras tunga partiklar, t.ex. protoner, av en partikelaccelerator och fokuseras av ett speciellt magnetiskt linssystem ned till en storlek av ungefär 1 mikrometer. Denna sThis thesis treats the development of Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) methods, principally for the analysis of light elements at a nuclear microprobe (NMP). The light elements are in this context defined as those with an atomic number Z of less than approximately 13 (aluminium). The work reported is to a large extent based upon multiparameter methods. Several signals are acquired simultaneously, and the d
