Kinetic model studies and control analyses of the Calvin photosynthesis cycle have been performed to characterize the dependence of the cycle activity on maximum velocities and Kmvalues for the interaction of the non‐equilibrium cycle enzymes and ATP synthetase with their substrates under conditions of light and carbon dioxide saturation. The results show that Km values have no major influence on
A novel Stacked Multi-Level (SML) modulator topology optimized for long pulse and high average power applications has been developed at ESS. It utilizes six identical modules connected in series at the HV output side and fed in parallel from the low voltage side. Each one is formed by one HF inverter, one step-up transformer, one HV rectifier bridge and one HV passive filter. They are supplied, in
Shortcomings of current techniques used for the intracerebral transplantation of ventral mesencephalic dopamine neurons include low graft survival, high variability, considerable implantation trauma and suboptimal graft integration. In order to overcome these limitations, we have adopted a microtransplantation approach which allows precise and reproducible implantation of ventral mesencephalon cel
The FinEstBeaMS beamline is under construction at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV Laboratory at Lund, Sweden. It has been designed to cover an unusually wide energy range from ultraviolet (4.3 eV) to soft X-rays (1000 eV) but experiments will also be possible at the Mg and Al Kα energies. Instead of having two different insertion devices and optical schemes for low and high photon energy re
Previous studies about the trends and sources of PV soft cost reduction have only offered a limited understanding of systemic aspects that drive this development. Drawing on concepts of sectoral innovation system theory, this study analyzes the evolution of the German PV sectoral system since the early 1990s, focusing specifically on key processes associated with the deployment of building-sited P
Objective: To examine reliability and validity of the Swedish version of the Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation (SER) outcome scale. Methods: One-hundred and ninety-eight inpatients (mean age 69 years) who underwent a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to knee osteoarthritis participated. They responded pre- and postoperatively to the SER outcome scale, and preoperatively to the Hospital Anxi
Background: As survival of children with CHD needing surgery has improved significantly, the need for follow-up in terms of health-related quality of life has become increasingly important. In this study, we sought to describe health-related quality of life in children with CHD in relation to cardiac surgery. Methods: A retrospective Swedish National Registry for Congenital Heart Disease survey me
Water introduction in the micro gas turbine (mGT) cycle is considered the optimal route for waste heat recovery and flexibility increase of such a small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) unit. However, humidification of the combustion air in a mGT affects combustion stability, efficiency, and exhaust gas emissions. This can lead to a non-stable, incomplete combustion, which will affect the globa
Contemporary institutions engaged in extending micro-loans do not usually grant such loans to the poor due to the latters’ inability to provide appropriate collateral and their insufficient creditworthiness. In modern times the Dutch East-India Company created a financial instrument called the “transportbrief” which enabled poor employees of the Company to obtain loans on the financial market. The
BACKGROUND:The need for instruments that can assist in detecting the prodromal stages of stress-related exhaustion has been acknowledged. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the Lund University Checklist for Incipient Exhaustion (LUCIE) could accurately and prospectively detect the onset of incipient exhaustion and to what extent work stressor exposure and private burdens were ass
A two-step Design of Experiments (DoE) strategy followed by a two-liquid-phase system (2LPS) was applied to enhance the ɛ-caprolactone yield in the cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO)-alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) convergent cascade system. The key reaction parameters were identified and optimized for the determination of an optimal operational window for the aqueous media. In the 2LPS system, high p
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a rapidly growing form of crypto assets with unique characteristics. However, existing tax regulations have struggled to keep up with these developments. This thesis addresses the taxation of NFTs within the European Union (EU) and highlights the legal gap in their treatment, given their exclusion from the Markets in C
The e-commerce sector in the modern, digital age is an increasingly important component of the global economy. For the European union, coping with this emerging market has meant regulatory challenges in several legislative areas, not least in the field of taxation. One of the most recent initiatives in removing obstacles for the e-commerce is the so-called VAT e-commerce package. The VAT e-commer
Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed
Abstract The world has seen three industrial revolutions and now it embraces the fourth. The fourth industrial revolution, (globalisation 4.0) or as this study uses industry 4.0, follows onto the third industrial revolution by connecting digital, material and living spheres. The narrative of Africa rising, and the related expansion of mobile phone motivated the thesis interest. As past development
Utmaningar kring samarbete och effektivt utnyttjande av den tvärprofessionella kompetensen har observerats i svenska elevhälsoteam. En kommun har adresserat dessa svårigheter genom att implementera ett gemensamt ramverk, Systematiskt Tillsammans för Lärande (STfL). Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utforska hur ett sådant gemensamt ramverk upplevs av elevhälsoteamens olika professioner vad gäCollaboration and efficient use of multidisciplinary competence has been observed to be difficult in student health teams (SHT) in Sweden. One municipality has addressed these issues by implementing a common framework, Systematically Together for Learning (STfL). The aim of this study was to explore how this framework was experienced by the student health service professionals in relation to imple
