A microfluidic platform combined with synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used for monitoring the continuous production of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs). Their production was fast and started to evolve within less than 0.43 s of contact between the lipids and the aqueous phase. To obtain nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution, it was important to use a modified hydrodynamic

Vi föreställer oss en metallstav som hettats upp till en, låt oss säga inhomogen,temperatur. Vi föreställer oss också att staven är isolerad runtom, men inte iändpunkterna. Om vi sänker ned staven i en stor bassäng med nollgradigt vattenså kommer termisk energi att lämna staven genom dess ändar. Därmed svalnarstaven, och till slut kommer den att ha samma temperatur som den omgivandebassängen.Om viThis thesis considers differentiation of non-negative, fractional order, composed with Hardy spacetypeHankel operators. H2-boundedness is characterized in terms of a reproducing kernel thesis.The setting of operator-valued symbols is considered, in which H2-boundedness is characterized interms of Carleson embeddings, provided that the order of differentiation is strictly positive.

Sweden has gained worldwide reputation for its family friendly policies and the high share of women in paid employment. This book points to the particular importance of early activation policies in the increase of women’s paid employment and in changing gender and family relations. It explores how the activation of women into paid work actually was accomplished: On what ideational grounds, and usi

The need for more functionality and higher performance has increased the number of transistors to billions in current processors. A high number of transistors on the same chip area increases the power density, which in turn heats up the devices and lowers the life time of batteries. The increasing demand for devices relying on battery and harvested energies in the Internet of Things (IoT) era has

Selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SRM-MS) -based semi-quantitation was performed to assess the validity of 46 selected candidate proteins for specifically diagnosing large-cell neuroendocrine lung carcinoma (LCNEC) and differentiating it from other lung cancer subtypes. The scaling method was applied in this study using specific SRM peak areas (AUCs) derived from the endogenous refer

The evolutionary origins of viruses according tomarker gene phylogenies, as well as their relationships to the ancestors of host cells remains unclear. In a recent article Nasir and Caetano-Anollés reported that their genome-scale phylogenetic analyses based on genomic composition of protein structural-domains identify an ancient origin of the "viral supergroup" (Nasir et al. 2015. A phylogenomic

Consumers of services that are financed by a third party, such as publicly financed health care or firm-sponsored health plans, are often allowed to freely choose provider. The rationale is that consumer choice may improve the matching of consumers and providers and spur quality competition. Such improvements are contingent on consumers having access to comparative information about providers and

Europeans have tried for decades to find a way to take a mutual stance on issues of higher education and its development. In terms of taking on the challenge of such a mutual commitment with respect to higher education, the Bologna process is a giant step for the European Union. It involves a large number of countries, representing a great variety of higher education systems, which are currently e

I have a returning nightmare: my computer breaks down and I am losing all my written words. Losing the record I keep of my stories. The trails of where I have been in my thoughts dissolve and I am left empty. ”Stories matter. Many stories matter”, writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reminds us in her famous TED-talk on ’the danger of a single story’ (Adichie 2009). Telling stories from my research on

What are the pedagogical impacts of internationalisation on the development of higher education in Europe? How can we proceed in this process and take a pedagogical stance on the issue? This theoretical article is partly based on a series of empirical studies, conducted by the author, investigating students' and teachers' experiences and understanding of an internationalised educational context in

Queer- och transforskning, i: Werner, Ann, & Anna Lundberg (2016) :En introduktion till genusvetenskapliga begrepp. Nationella sekretariatet för genusforskning: Göteborg.

Den här avhandlingen handlar om aerodynamik hos fladdermöss. Det vill säga, hur fladdermöss skapar de krafter som låter dem flyga, hur de påverkar luften för att åstadkomma detta, och hur deras vingar rör sig när de gör det.Tack vare förmågan att flyga kan djur utnyttja annars otillgängliga födoämnen, undfly rovdjur, och övervintra i varmare trakter. Fördelarna med flygning blir än mer uppenbara nBats are the only mammals capable of flight, and they are the only animal flyers that are mammals. This thesis focuses on the latter of those facts, and investigates how bats fly, from an aerodynamic perspective. The data on which this thesis is based were generated by examining the airflows beneath and behind bats flying in a wind tunnel, and by examining their wing kinematics manually and automa

We study the complexity of the so called semi-disjoint bilin-ear forms over different semi-rings, in particular the n-dimensional vector convolution and n × n matrix product. We consider a powerful unit-cost computational model over the ring of integers allowing for several addi-tional operations and generation of large integers. We show the following dichotomy for such a powerful model: while alm
