Popular Abstract in Uncoded languages [abstract language: Dutch] [Figure 5.1 can be found in the uploaded files] Populair wetenschappelijke samenvatting --- Van Hipparchus tot Gaia --- Sterrenkunde is waarschijnlijk één van de oudst bekende wetenschappen van de mensheid. Prehistorische culturen waren al gefascineerd door de manier waarop de sterren, planeten en kometen zich aan de hemel voortbewThe space astrometry mission Gaia, planned for launch in 2013 by the European Space Agency (ESA), will provide the most comprehensive and accurate catalogue of astrometric data for galactic and astrophysical research in the coming decades. It will observe roughly one billion stars, quasars and other point like objects for which the five astrometric parameters (position, parallax and proper motion)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen ger en överblick över dagens status inom nanoimprintlitografi. Teknologin ger möjlighet att framställa nm-strukturer med en upplösning bättre än 10 nm och kan användas för massproduktion av hela wafers. Avhandlingen beskriver utvecklingen av reproducerbara imprintprocesser som t.ex. kan användas för framställning av nm-strukturerade fingerelektroder. DessaThis thesis gives an overview about the current status of nanoimprint lithography, a relatively new nanofabrication tool. The technology is capable for parallel mass production of nm-structured features having a resolution below 10 nm and is usable with high throughput on full wafer scale. The thesis is mainly divided into two parts dealing with nanoimprint lithography and electrochemistry. The w

Low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) dimerizes in the phosphate-bound state in solution with a dissociation constant of K-d = 1.5(+/-0.1) mM and an off-rate on the order of 10(4) s(-1).H-1 and N-15 NMR chemical shifts identify the dimer interface, which is in excellent agreement with that observed in the crystal structure of the dimeric S19A mutant. Two tyrosine residues of

In this thesis fabrication and optimization of vertical III-V Tunneling Field-Effect transistors was explored. Usage of vertical nanowires, allows for combination of materials with large lattice mismatch in the same nanowire structure. TFETs in this thesis were fabricated using vertical InAs/GaSb or InAs/InGaAsSb/GaSb nanowires of high material quality. Usage of these material systems allowed for

Magnetic response image plane nonuniformity and stochastic noise are properties that greatly influence the outcome of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations such as gel dosimetry measurements using MRI. To study these properties, robust and accurate image analysis methods are required. New nonuniformity level assessment methods were designed, since previous methods were found to

Assessment of amyloid deposits is a critical step for the identification of Alzheimer disease (AD) signature in asymptomatic elders. Whether the different amyloid processing methods impacts on the quality of clinico-radiological correlations is still unclear. We directly compared in 155 elderly controls with extensive neuropsychological testing at baseline and 4.5 years follow-up three approaches:

Cloud computing has become a compelling paradigm built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. The current virtualization solution in the Cloud widely relies on hypervisor-based technologies. Given the recent booming of the container ecosystem, the container-based virtualization starts receiving more attention for being a promising alternative. Although the container technologies are g

Background: Depression in the elderly population has been identified as a significant public health problem associated with adverse outcomes such as decreased quality of life, cognitive decline, and increased rates of suicide. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with depressive symptoms among geriatric population in Moshi district council, northern Tanzania. Methods: This c

Background: Lack of a global consensus on the definition of advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) and considerations for timing of device-aided therapies may result in heterogeneity in care. Objectives: To reach consensus among movement disorder specialists regarding key patient characteristics indicating transition to APD and guiding appropriate use of device-aided therapies in the management of PD

In order to generate high voltage high pulsed power, klystron modulators necessarily contain at least one capacitor bank charging structure supplying the energy to be released during the pulse. Conventional charging structures are based on AC/DC front-end units typically based on diode rectifiers combined with on/off controlled power charging structures as a second stage, producing prohibitive lev

We have previously proposed the use of Doppler ultrasound to non-invasively stage sinus infection, as we showed that acoustic streaming could be generated in nonpurulent sinus secretions and helped to distinguish it from mucopurulent sinus secretions. In order to continue this development of a clinically applicable Doppler equipment, we need to determine different dimensions of the paranasal sinus

Background: Prevention of arthropathy is a major goal of hemophilia treatment. While studies in adults have demonstrated an impact of prophylaxis on the incidence of joint bleeds and patients' well-being in terms of improved quality of life (QoL), it is unclear whether or not prophylaxis influences the outcome and well-being perception of children with hemophilia. Objective: This randomized contro

Vid fysisk planering genom upprättande och antagande av planer analyseras hur mark- och vattenområden ska användas i framtiden. Detaljnivå och rättslig status varierar mellan plantyperna, några är rättsligt bindande medan andra är vägledande. I Sverige är makten över markanvändningsplaneringen decentraliserad, kommunerna har huvudansvaret för planeringen. Genom länsstyrelsen bevakas statens intresPhysical planning by establishing and adopting plans enables analysis of future land and water use. The level of detail and legal status varies between the different types of plans; some are legally binding while others are guiding and non-binding. Land use planning in Sweden is decentralized and municipalities carry the main responsibility for planning. Matters of national interest are watched ov

This paper examines the structure of livestock farming and of the meat industry in Sweden, focusing on possibilities for small-scale farmers to develop, whether individually or in a group, self-sufficient systems of high quality meat production. The four areas identified as presenting structural difficulties (and in some cases opportunities) to small-scale producers are: i) the centralized structu

Mitigation of vasomotor symptoms and urogenital problems, along with reductions in osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, provides the rationale for using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the duration of use. However, user surveys have indicated poor compliance with HRT, and that means user time may be less than 12 months, a period unlikely to influence metabolic disorders. The main reason

BACKGROUND: Almost every country in the Western world has great difficulties allocating enough financial resources to meet the needs in the care of the increasing elderly population. The main problem is common to all countries and concerns the efforts to meet elderly persons' needs on an individual level while still maintaining society's responsibility for distributing justice. The aim of this stu

Abstract Author: Anton Bengtsson and Antonio Peralta Title: To grow up on the right or the wrong side of town: A comparative study between men that have grown up in deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods. [Translated title] Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson The aim of this paper is to highlight how masculinity can be different in different circumstances. We have interviewed four men who has be

The main aim of the thesis is, first, to present a theoretical and methodological perspective for the study of postmodern theory in historiography; second, to discuss and evaluate earlier research on the subject; and third, to show that historians must be more self-reflexive about their explicit as well as implicit theoretical and philosphical premises. My theoretical and methodological inspiratio
