The basic structure of classical density functional theory (DFT) is reviewed from a rather general perspective. The treatment is then specialized to ionic solutions, describing the various possible extensions beyond the Poisson–Boltzmann level, that DFT offers, such as excluded volume effects, non-electrostatic interactions, connectivity (polymers) and ion correlations. The last effects are discus

The Swedish army marched 1658 over the ice on the Danish sounds from Jutland to Zealand. An event that led to the foundation of Lund University in 1666. From the loads involved the ice thickness can be determined to have been at least 20 cm. Using data from mid-17 hundreds and forward the ice thickness of every year is computed. Large ice thickness seems to have been more common in the period mid

The art of living and the art of eating: Professor Linnaeus recommends. By Gunnar Broberg. As professor of medicine, Linnaeus taught dietetics. He followed the pattern outlined by Galen and Regimen salernitatis, adding an extensive material originating from general cultural history and his own experience.Early in his life he wrote Diaeta naturalis, a collection of rules focusing the blessings of n

Polhem did a large number of sketches for such a universal language, among others a manuscript concerning a lunar language, which was completely

I dagsläget produceras ungefär 300 - 350 000 ton biogödsel i Skåne och med tanke på att det planeras för en mycket stor biogasanläggning1 i regionen kommer biogödselhanteringen och biogödselavsättningen bli en ännu större utmaning i framtiden. Detta kommer också att ställa höga krav på en fungerande logistikkedja, på infrastrukturen (vägnät och lagerkapacitet) och på spridningstekniken.2 I denna u

This article examines the Mexican government’s recently curtailed CONACYT international scholarships and its sponsored masters’ students who studied in Sweden between 2013 and 2020. It contrasts CONACYT’s human capital theory-based justifications with the experiences of ten sponsored alumni and indicators covering eighty-five such alumni from major Swedish universities. Employing a framework from
