Second forerunner approximations to the transmission and reflection kernels for a temporally dispersive, nonmagnetic, isotropic slab are obtained. Numerical results are presented for two different dispersion models and are compared with the second forerunner approximations. Finally, transmission and reflection kernels are used to reconstruct the first susceptibility moments of the material of the

The dynamics of ethanol production/consumption in baker's yeast were studied under feed- rate controlled conditions. The yeast was grown on molasses in an 8-l fed-batch reactor and experiments were done at cell concentrations between 5 and 65 g l−1. Small changes in the feed rate were made around a feed rate corresponding to the critical growth rate, at which the yeast cell metabolism switches bet

Popular Abstract in English A large variety of microorganisms are present in nature and have indispensable roles in recycling carbon, remediation of the environment, agriculture, and also in providing health benefits to humans. Microorganisms are microscopic versatile living factories that can consume several different natural as well as synthetic compounds for their growth and also produce differA shift from fossil- to renewable biomass feedstock for the emerging bio-based economy requires the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies that are more suited for transformation of biomass components to chemicals, materials and energy. This thesis presents investigations on the development of processes based on industrial biotechnology as a key element for the production of chem

In this paper I argue that the author of John singled out the feet in his description of the anointing of Jesus because he wanted to portray Jesus as a serving, suffering, and dying Anointed One of the Lord, and because he wanted to emphasize the notion that the lowly ones of God’s people also would be anointed with the Holy Spirit. In order to support this conclusion I argue that (1) the anointin

The making of artefacts is a core activity in society, the result of which contributes to the building up of our physical surroundings and material culture. Throughout history, craft skills have been highly appreciated and have often been seen as crucial component of a capable human. Despite this, the knowledge base that constitutes the actual making is often overlooked in research. In this sessio

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an intergovernmental project building amultidisciplinary research laboratory based upon the worlds most powerful neutron source. The main facility will be built in Lund, Sweden. Construction is expected to start around 2013 and the first neutrons will be produced in 2019. The ESS linac will deliver 5 MW of power to the target at 2.5 GeV, with a nominal curre

Ny rättspraxis från EG-domstolen i fallen Köbler och Kühne & Heitz har visat att domstolen är beredd att etablera rättsprinciper som kommer göra det möjligt att på ett effektivt sätt hantera missbruket av acte clair-doktrinen. I det förstnämnda fallet, etablerade domstolen en möjlighet att utkräva skadeståndsansvar av medlemsstaten i det fall den nationella sista instansrätten (in casu den hög

Two eye-tracking experiments were carried out to examine the effects of eye movements in relation to the detection and non-detection of contextually congruent and incongruent antonyms such as high–low, good–bad. Experiment 1: First fixation durations on the incongruent word (p
