Contemporary advancements in miniaturization of analytical systems have advantageously fostered development, automation, and hyphenation of a variety of sample preparation techniques. Among several downscaled extraction designs, porous synthetic polymeric membranes (such as flat sheet (FS) or hollow fiber (HF)) have been utilized for membrane-based extraction, separating two aqueous phases (as in

This paper presents a method for visualizing the scoping process in platform-based development of embedded systems. The proposed visualization shows the decision process of including or excluding features that are candidates for the next release. The presented visualization charts are evaluated in a large-size embedded system platform project. The evaluation indicates that the visualization of fea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan har märkbart ändrat Jordens ekosystem och dess funktioner. Genom avskogning och konvertering av naturliga ekosystem till åkrar och betesmarker så har människor skapat helt nya typer av ekosystem. Cirka en tredjedel av den koldioxid (CO2) som människor har släppt ut i atmosfären, kommer från dessa aktiviteter, resten beror till största delen på utsläpp från förThrough deforestation and conversion of natural ecosystems to croplands and pastures, have humans released vast amounts of carbon (C) dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Roughly one third of the cumulative anthropogenic emissions until today stem from these practices, the remainder being mostly due to fossil fuel combustion. The extra CO2 has caused an increase in global air temperature, and both t

A critical edition of the office and mass for St. Elin (Helena) of Skövde by Brynolf Algotsson, Bishop of Skara 1278-1317.

Investigation of a novel condition monitoring approach, combining artificial neural network (ANN) with a sequential analysis technique, has been reported in this paper. For this purpose operational data from a Siemens SGT600 gas turbine has been employed for the training of an ANN model. This ANN model is subsequently used for the prediction of performance parameters of the gas turbine. Simulated

A novel approach to reduce the multiple light scattering contribution in planar laser images of atomizing sprays is reported. This new technique, named Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI), has been demonstrated in the dense region of a hollow-cone water spray generated in ambient air at 50 bars injection pressure. The idea is based on using an incident laser sheet which is spatial

The emergence of post-genomic approaches that couple chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays to high-throughput technique has greatly advanced our ability to investigate epigenetic features associated with normal cell development and disease. Nevertheless, these techniques exhibit some limitations. Firstly, standard protocols usually require millions of cells, thus limiting their application t

Substituting Zn for Cu is known to rapidly quench superconductivity in the doped perovskites but the mechanism behind it is still not clearly understood. Single phase YBa2(Cu1-xZnx)(3)O7-delta (x=0.0 to 0.06) samples were synthesized and characterized using XRD, wet titration, resistivity, and ac susceptibility. Angle-integrated Valence Band Photo emission and Zn K-edge XAFS results clearly show t

We focus on exclusive production of neutral technipion (pi) over tilde (0) in pp collisions at the LHC, i.e. on pp -> pp (pi) over tilde (0) reaction. The dependence of the cross section on parameters of recently proposed vector-like Technicolor model is studied. Characteristic features of the differential distributions are discussed. For not too large technipion masses the diphoton decay channel

Climate change poses a serious challenge to sustainable urban development worldwide. In Sweden, climate change work at the city level emerged in 1996 and has long had a focus on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. City planners’ “adaptation turn” is recent and still ongoing. This paper presents a meta-evaluation of Swedish municipal adaptation approaches, and how they relate to institutional stru

Stochastic differential equations driven by standard Brownian motion(s) or Lévy processes are by far the most popular models in mathematical finance, but are also frequently used in engineering and science. A key feature of the class of models is that the parameters are easy to interpret for anyone working with ordinary differential equations, making connections between statistics and other scient

The growing need for valid assessment procedures of the outdoor thermal environment in the fields of public weather services, public health systems, urban planning, tourism & recreation and climate impact research raised the idea to develop the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI based on the most recent scientific progress both in thermo-physiology and in heat exchange theory.
