The interaction between biological cells and external electric fields has been of interest by scientists for several decades. Exposure of the cells to electric fields leads to various kinds of biophysical and biochemical responses. These responses can be used to characterize cell properties and/or to manipulate cell characteristics. Electro-poration or electro-permeabilzation is probably the most

Dynamic and complex decision-making environments may involve high levels of uncertainty. Such uncertainty may lead to difficulty within decision-making processes. High levels of uncertainty in decision-making occur in a dynamic and complex environment. While decision-making is needed as a response to uncertainty, this may lead to difficulty within decision-making processes. Furthermore, there are

The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) or the NorduGrid middleware is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data Grids, with special emphasis on scalability, stability, reliability and performance. Since its first release in May 2002, the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. This paper aims to present the future development direc

I investigated the bacterial utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in aquatic ecosystems, and assessed the potential role of river-born DON in marine eutrophication. To determine the bioavailability of DON, I developed a bioassay employing N-limited bacterial regrowth cultures, which were calibrated with additions of inorganic nitrogen. I found that between 2 and 72

Servitut innebär normalt att en fastighet får nyttja en annan fastighet för ett visst bestämt ändamål. I Sverige finns det ca 600 000 registrerade officialservitut i fastighetsregistret. De allra flesta bildade vid lantmäteriförrättningar. Samtidigt finns det ca 650 000 inskrivna avtalsservitut i fastighetsregistret. Som jämförelse finns det ca 3,2 miljoner fastigheter, ca 60 000 ledningsrätter oc

Kinetic study on propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile over V–Sb–O/TiO2(B) was undertaken by a strict mathematical analysis of experimental rate dependencies on reactant pressure in order to obtain expression describing completely the data.

Få kontinenters historia är så präglad av myter och fördomar som Afrikas och ännu idag är det vanligt att beskriva dess historia som statisk och afrikanska samhällen som primitiva. 'Afrika - en kontinents ekonomiska och sociala historia' visar istället en dynamisk och variationsrik kontinent. Boken handlar om den ekonomiska och sociala utvecklingen i Afrika söder om Sahara i ett långsiktigt perspe
