The role of the fracture process region during fast fracture is discussed. Reviewed experiments on modern pressure vessel steels show that already at crack tip speeds of one or two hundred mls fracture processes are dominantly brittle. Modelling of the process region is discussed in the light of asymptotic elastic plastic fields and process region autonomy. It is suggested that a fraction of the cThe role of the fracture process region during fast fracture is discussed.

Background: Diabetes is associated with systemic complications. Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, and retinopathy, in type 1 diabetes is declining but it is not known if this is true also for diabetic neuropathy.Aim: To investigate the relationship between large fiber diabetic neuropathy and other diabetic complications.Materials and methods: Neuropathy, defined here as large fiber neuropathy, w

In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die. Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigated the effect of the caspase inhibitor acetyl-tyrosinyl-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-chloromethylketone (Ac-YVAD-cmk) on In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die.

A strong brand requires that the whole company reflects one picture. If one part is not well thought out, this can destroy the picture. Elekta is a human care company whose solutions and services expresses trustworthy and caring. The aim of the project was to create packaging strategy that reflects the company’s profile, to implement a new packaging design. To achieve this, an analysis of the com

In a globalized world subjected to ongoing rapid technological development and increasingly evocative entertainment, advertisers are turning their attention to methods of provocation in an effort to induce actionable behavior from the consumer. Struggling to fight their way through the challenging environment of todays saturated market and appeal to the increasingly desensitized consumer, advertis

I denna uppsats kommer det skatterättsliga neutralitetsperspektivet hos fastighetstransaktioner att diskuteras och särskilt fokus kommer att ligga på stämpelskatten. De fastighetstransaktioner som tas upp är överlåtelse, bolagsförvärv och fastighetsbildning. Det moderna svenska skattesystemet bygger på nationalekonomiska teorier och de senaste 30 åren har fokus legat på att få ett effektivt skattIn this essay, the tax neutrality perspective of property transactions will be discussed and a special focus will be put on stamp duty. The real estate transactions which are covered in the essay are transfers, acquisitions and “fastighetsbildning”. The modern Swedish tax system is based on economic theories and in the last 30 years the focus has been put on getting an efficient tax system, wher

In this case study the planning process of the new modernist city district of Hyllie in Malmö, Sweden is analyzed through a neoliberal and power theoretical perspective. From the original plans as a part of the great Swedish Million Program in the 1960's - 1970's not much happened to this wide arable landscape until the industrial crisis hit Malmö in the 1980's. This crisis caused larg

Att Detektera en Neutrino I dagens Universum är allting vi kan se; alla varelser, alla planeter och alla stjärnor, uppbyggda av materia. Trots detta tror man att det i Big Bang skapades lika mycket antimateria som materia, men att all denna antimateria på något sätt har försvunnit. Ett steg på vägen att förklara detta kan vara att undersöka vissa skillnader mellan neutriner och antineutriner, vilAbstract Today, the neutrino oscillation is very well established by experiment. It is described by a theoretical framework similar to that of quark mixing. Here is included a CP violating phase, delta_CP, which is the only known possible source of CP violation in the lepton sector. So far, delta_CP is completely unconstrained by experiment, and the determination of the value of delta_CP could fu

Det går inte att bortse från den stora efterfråga som idag råder gällande ny utveckling av metoder för att ersätta icke förnybara material (så som stål och betong exempelvis) med förnybara material (såsom trä) i lastbärande konstruktioner. Trä som material har en del nackdelar och det är just dessa man skulle vilja eliminera eller begränsa för att nå fram till ett material med minimal påverkan för

Vetenskapen har gjort att vi kan idag kan känna igen ett sjukdomstillstånd, eller följa ett sjukdomsförlopp genom att titta på dess biologiska fingeravtryck. För att man ska kunna upptäcka och tolka ett sådant fingeravtryck behöver man ett högteknologiskt redskap; microarray. Ett biologiskt fingeravtryck utgörs av en uppsättning ämnen, eller biomarkörer, som i olika kombinationer och koncentrationAnalyses of biological samples today include protein microarray, a high-throughput technology that can be used for protein expression profiling, targeting disease related biomarkers. Affinity microarray utilises scFv antibodies, fixed in an ordered pattern on a solid support. Albeit high biocompatibility and sensitivity, this technique causes randomised antibody orientation, which could negatively

Exploatering och kommersialisering av immateriella tillgångar möjliggörs bland annat genom att dessa, i form av immateriella rättigheter, upplåts genom licensavtal. Licensavtal förses regelmässigt med en skiljeklausul. Tvister som härrör från licensavtal bottnar inte sällan i att licenstagaren överträder bestämmelser i licensavtalet på sådant sätt att intrång i den immateriella rättigheten begås, The practice of licensing intellectual property enables greater exploitation and commercialization of intangible assets. Arbitration clauses are frequently incorporated into license agreements. When the licensee violates provisions in the license agreement in a manner that infringes upon the licensor’s intellectual property rights, competing grounds of responsibility follow. These disputes arise a

Lagen om anställningsskydd infördes år 1974 för att trygga anställningen för alla enskilda arbetstagare på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Tidigare hade arbetstagarnas rättigheter reglerats i kollektivavtal och endast vissa arbetstagares rättigheter var reglerade i lag. Några regler som infördes i 1974 års lag var bland annat saklig grund för uppsägning enigt 7 § LAS. För att saklig grund skulle anseThe Employment Protection Act from 1974 was implemented in to Swedish law as a way to secure the employments of the employees. Before the implementation of the Act, the rights of the employees were regulated in collective agreements. By then there were only some rights regulated in the law. Some of the regulations that were implemented in to the Employment Protection Act was the 7§. The 7 § states

Restoring and meandering straightened streams is an important part of the Swedish environmental objective “Live lakes and water courses”. Restoration improves the living conditions for plants and animals that reside in or near the stream, and increases the uptake of excess nutrients leaking from nearby farmland. In this study, I have examined two restored streams; Glomsbäcken and Trollebergssträck

In this study we acquire an insight into the songwriting processes of eight female artists and music teachers. We investigate their creative processes, their thoughts on creativity and songwriting and the methods they use when composing. The informants share some of the challenges they face during the process and how to overcome them. Furthermore, we learn about factors enhancing the songwriting a
