Datering med accelerator? Måhända låter det otympligt, men när det handlar om att datera med hjälp av sällsynta slag av grundämnen kan varje atom räknas. Då handlar det om att kunna räkna enskilda atomer, vilket är möjligt med acceleratorbaserad masspektrometri, AMS. Lunds Universitet har en accelerator anpassad just för den här sortens mätningar, vilken främst nyttjas av institutionerna för fysiFor decades, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) has been used for radiocarbon dating. The background of this technique is outlined along with an in-depth look at the graphitization process used to prepare samples for AMS analysis. The technology necessary to achieve the vacuum quality needed in graphitization and accelerator mass spectrometry is discussed as well. The graphitization system belong
Resolving fast events, such as electron dynamics, requires short light pulses. To this date the shortest available light pulses are created using High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) and have a duration of a few hundred attoseconds (1 as = $10^{-18}$ s). When used for pump-probe experiments, these pulses are generated in an interferometer, which needs to be stable for the experiment to yield high
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I Kakeled på Kinnekulles sydvästsluttning, Västergötland, finns en blottad lagerföljd från överkambrium. Överkambrium är en tidsperiod som sträckte sig från ca 525 till 500 miljoner år sedan. Avsättningen i det överkambriska havet var extremt långsam (1-10 mm/1000 år). Bottenförhållandena var mer eller mindre syrefria, varför nedbrytningen av det organiska materUpper Cambrian strata are well exposed in an old quarry at Kakeled on south-western Kinnekulle, south-central Sweden. The exposures consist of finely laminated alum shale with lenses and beds of dark grey limestone (stinkstone or orsten), and a few thin layers of sandstone. A 6.20 m thick section in the central part of the quarry has been measured and sampled in order to establish the succession o
Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b
For meeting stringent emission restrictions, a modern solution is to operate in or close to the flameless mode. It implies a copious dilution of the reactants with vitiated gas resulting in low oxidant or fuel concentration and consequently low volumetric heat-release rate. On the contrary to traditional flames where heat release is occurring in very thin fronts, the flameless operation lies in th
Cervical dystonia is a neurological movement disorder causing abnormal posture of the head. It may be accompanied by involuntary movements which are sometimes tremulous. The condition has marked effects on patients' self-image, and adversely affects quality of life, social relationships and employment. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the treatment of choice for CD and its efficacy and safety have b
This report summarises our efforts in deriving, characterising and banking of 20 different human embryonic stem cell lines. We have derived a large number of human embryonic stem cell lines between 2001 and 2005. One of these cell lines was established under totally xeno-free culture conditions. In addition, several subclones have been established, including a karyoptypical normal clone from a tri
Popular Abstract in Swedish Övergripande syfte Syftet med avhandlingen var att utvärdera hur en förenklad metod för diagnostisering av blodproppar i benets djupa ådror (djup ventrombos (DVT)) fungerar i svensk rutinsjukvård. Den förenklade metoden innebär användning av en strukturerad klinisk sannolikhetsbedömning tillsammans med ett blodprov (D-dimer test). Vi jämförde också vår D-dimermetod med The combination of pre-test clinical probability assessment and D-dimer test is now widely applied in the diagnostic process of DVT. The general objective of the present investigation was to validate these results in a Swedish routine emergency setting were the prevalence of the disease is high and were the clinical probability assessment was handled by many junior physicians. Furthermore, our aim
The growth of epitaxial graphene on SiC has been identified as one of the most promising techniques to produce graphene for electronic applications. In this paper, we present a systematic study of the electronic and structural properties of large-area quasifree standing epitaxial monolayer graphene grown on top of the SiC(0001) surface. For this purpose, we combine the thermal treatment of SiC in
A report produced by the Swedish Building Commission, pointed out that high costs and poor quality exists in the construction industry. With the goal of getting a more effective building process NCC Construction AB implemented a new production control system. NCC calls the system NCC Project Planning (Swedish: NCC Projektplanering) and it is based on the Last Planner System, a system for planning
Conceptually, this paper is about the becoming of states and how such states are a socially constructed spaces, imagined and performed by those who perceive themselves as belonging to that state. It asks through what imaginaries and performative practices does a state come into being? More specifically, the paper investigates how the state is imagined and performed in times of war and peace hoping
We explore the multiphase structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) probed by synthetic spectra through a cosmological zoom-in galaxy formation simulation. We employ a Bayesian method for modelling a combination of absorption lines to derive physical properties of absorbers with a formal treatment of detections, including saturated systems, and non-detections in a uniform manner. We find that i
Aim: This study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 3-4, in contact with or without contact, with a specialized palliative care unit (PCU) at a low-resource governmental cancer hospital, as well as studying the impact of this contact on the QoL in their caregivers. Materials and Methods: Hospitalized patien
Most models explaining polygyny in birds have concentrated on variation in male or territorial quality, ignoring the role of females in maintaining monogamy. Although field observations have suggested that already mated females may maintain monogamy by either behaving aggressively toward prospecting females or by interupting male mate attraction behaviour, no experiments have been done to test if
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate attachment and its association to obstetric and demographic factors as well as emotional well-being using a standard measure of prenatal attachment during pregnancy. Background: The strength of the mothers’ relationship with her baby has important implications in the postnatal period, influencing the relationship she develops with her child, a
Objectives/Hypothesis: Data from patients registered for myringoplasty during 2002 to 2012 in the Swedish National Quality Registry for Myringoplasty. Study Design: Both conventional myringoplasty and fat-graft techniques were used aimed at healing the tympanic membrane in noninfected ears. Methods: Analysis was performed on data in a national database collected from 32 ear, nose, and throat clini
Upcycling is a process in which used or waste products and materials are repaired, reused, repurposed, refurbished, upgraded and remanufactured in a creative way to add value to the compositional elements. It has been part of human life throughout history, and the past few years have seen its revival, driven by multiple factors including growing concern for the environment and resource scarcity. U
Background andAims Middle-Eastern immigrants constitute a growing proportion of the Swedish population and are at high risk for Type 2 diabetes. This calls for a more proactive preventive approach for dealing with diabetes risk in this target group. The aim was to test the effect of a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention programme on changes in lifestyle habits and cardio-metabolic outcomes c
