Deposition of aerosol nanoparticles using an electrostatic precipitator is widely used in the aerosol community. Despite this, basic knowledge regarding what governs the deposition has been missing. This concerns the prediction of the size of the particle collection zone, but also, perhaps more importantly, prediction of the nanoparticle concentration distribution on the substrate, both of which a

Evacuation planning is an important activity in disaster management to reduce the effects of disasters on urban communities. It is regarded as a multi-objective optimization problem that involves conflicting spatial objectives and constraints in a decision-making process. Such problems are difficult to solve by traditional methods. However, metaheuristics methods have been shown to be proper solut

BACKGROUND: Platelets are a critical element in coagulation and inflammation, and activated platelets are linked to cancer risk through diverse mechanisms. However, a causal relationship between platelets and risk of lung cancer remains unclear. METHODS: We performed single and combined multiple instrumental variable Mendelian randomization analysis by an inverse-weighted method, in addition to a

The purpose of this work was to contribute to the creation of a prototype of a new type of robot called Agile Parallel Kinematic Manipulator or AgilePKM for short. Designing, building and controlling a new type of robot is a task which goes beyond the scope of any master thesis project, but there are subtasks which are more suitable to handle within the available time frame. A principle design wil

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the identification of nodal occult metastases (OM), not detected by routine histological examination, has been proposed for improved staging, prognostication and decision of adjuvant treatment in surgically treated primary lung cancer. In a prospective study, we analysed 178 cases of primary lung cancer stage I-III (N0-N1) for OM by immunostaining lymph node

Background Up-to-date evidence about levels and trends in disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) is an essential input into global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), we estimated these quantities for acute and chronic diseases and injuries for 188 countries between 1990 and 2013. Methods Estimate

This study argues that Vietnamese girls' socialization is inseparable from the symbolic and biological meaning of female and male bodies. Socialization is not so much about "sex" (i.e. biological sex) or "gender" (i.e. social/symbolic sex) as it is about "body". This argument is elaborated theoretically with regard to contemporary research on the body and empirically with respect to a local north

Computer programs are excluded subject matter ''as such'' under the EPC. However, once ''technical character'' can be established in a software invention, and it fulfills all the requirements for patentability - being an invention, which is novel, has inventive step and is industrially applicable - software is very much patentable. The technical character requiremen

Background Frigoscandia Logistics AB, FSL, was founded in 1997 as a Fourth Party Logistics provider, 4PL, with the purpose to supply temperature-controlled food and other goods to customers world wide. The main purpose is to provide a complete logistics service package including physical, administrative as well as financial flows. Moreover FSL takes the ownership of the products, which is unique.

The aim of this study was to explain and understand how the child perspective is used in child welfare investigations. The study was based on five interviews with social workers in a municipality in the southern part of Sweden. The main outcome of this study was that the concept child perspective is a multifaceted and complex concept, all the social workers had a different view on the child perspe

The Potential of Esters as Renewable Fuels: Determination of Laminar Burning Velocities Biodiesel fuel is widely used as a clean fuel in car engines. Ester fuels are a one kind of a biodiesel fuel which includes many chemical compounds. Due to their chemical and physical properties these esters are difficult to investigate in a laboratory. The heat flux method was used in this study to determine

This thesis is centered on the issue of how does the health care system reform change urban citizens’ healthcare utilization in China. The new health care reform, against the background of building “a Harmonious Society”, aims to provide a universal health care for the whole population and makes citizens’ access to health care easier.
