This work assesses the ability of transradial amputees to discriminate multi-site tactile stimuli in sensory discrimination tasks. It compares different sensory feedback modalities using an artificial hand prosthesis in: 1) a modality matched paradigm where pressure recorded on the five fingertips of the hand was fed back as pressure stimulation on five target points on the residual limb; and 2) a
The Hans Tausen drill site was requested to be on a local dome, as high as possible, with a simple flow pattern and with an undisturbed flow pattern even close to bedrock. The first mapping of the surface elevation was performed as part of a general mapping of the elevation and gravity over Greenland. Later, NASA performed a few overflights of the ice cap. Combining the passes, it was possible to
EG har kontinuerligt ägnat sig åt reglering av kemiska produkter. 1967 antogs första rättsakten som rörde kemikaliekontroll. Under 1960- och 70-talen antogs gemenskapslagstiftning främst för att undanröja hinder för den gemensamma inre marknaden och därmed främja den fria varurörligheten. Under 1980-talet blev miljöskydd ensamt skäl att anta lagstiftning på kemikalieområdet. Genom åren har ett ant
Little is known about the variation within and among species of long-distance migrants in behavioural strategies and habitat choice on their non-breeding grounds. We report results from regular ringing operations carried out during the winter seasons 2009–2013 and transect counts in 2013, 2015 and 2016 in the Sudan Savanna Zone in Ghana. The best supported capture–mark–recapture model included spe
CD83 is one of the best-known surface markers for fully mature dendritic cells (mature DCs), and its cell-type- and maturation-specific regulation makes the CD83 promoter an interesting tool for the genetic modulation of DCs. To determine the mechanisms regulating this DC- and maturation-specific CD83 expression, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip microarray, biocomputational, reporter,
Background: Most commonly, volume measurements are used to evaluate the effect of lymphedema treatment, but as the accumulation of lymph fluid can be local, this method may not always be the best. Tissue dielectric constant (TDC) can be applied to identify local lymphedema changes, but has not been used before when evaluating treatment in mild arm lymphedema. Thus, the overall aim of this study wa
We have estimated the activation energy for aromatic oxidation by compound I in cytochrome P450 for a diverse set of 17 substrates using state-of-the-art density functional theory (B3LYP) with large basis sets. The activation energies vary from 60 to 87 kJ/mol. We then test if these results can be reproduced by computationally less demanding methods. The best methods (a B3LYP calculation of the ac
The performance of three different backpack-mounted γ-radiation survey systems has been investigated. The systems are based on a LaBr3:Ce detector and a NaI(Tl) detector both with active volume dimensions of 76.2 mm in diameter and 76.2 mm length and a 123% relative efficiency HPGe detector. The detection limits of the systems were tested in a controlled outdoor environment in Sweden, followed by
I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r
Højesteret frågade domstolen i Europeiska Unions om förhandsavgörande i fallet om Post Danmarks hade missbrukat sin dominerande ställning med tolkning under artikel 102 i funktionsfördraget. Post Danmark hade tillämpat prisstrategier som förvärvats synergier som upprätthålls av sitt utbud av flera produkter. Post Danmark har kunnat tvinga ned priserna på den relevanta marknaden för oadresserade brHøjesteret asked the Court of Justice of the European Unions for a preliminary ruling of the situation of Post Danmark abusive dominant position under article 102 TFEU. Post Danmark had applied price strategies acquired from synergies maintained from its range of products. Post Danmark was able to force prices down on the relevant market for unaddressed mail in the market of Denmark. The pricing h
During the latest years the research on the effects of moisture on clothing system has been boosted. New information has revealed phenomena, e.g. “heat pipe” effect with its condensation-evaporation cycle(s) that has not been considered earlier in prediction of physiological reactions or evaluating clothing properties. Considering the material properties, e.g. the evaporative resistance measuremen
A strategy for generating potential galectin inhibitors was devised based on derivatization at the C-3′ atom in 3′-amino-N-acetyllactosamine by using structural knowledge of the galectin carbohydrate recognition site. A collection of 12 compounds was prepared by N-acylations or N-sulfonylations. Hydrophobic tagging of the O-3 atom in the N-acetylglucosamine residue with a stearic ester allowed rap
Soil and groundwater contamination is an increasingly recognised threat to public health and the environment around the globe. New types of contaminants continue to emerge, and awareness of their threat, continues to develop. Many countries have national clean-up programs with priority lists of the most hazardous contaminated sites. Investigation and remediation of these sites, however, take a lon

In the scientific domain of high energy physics (HEP), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) was created in order to handle the huge compute and storage needs of the experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Today WLCG combines about 1.4 million computer cores and 1.5 exabytes of storage from over 170 sites in 42 countries. What ties the sites together is the middleware installed at each site,
FORESTRY, AIR POLLUTANTS AND MULTIPLE USE ASPECTS ON BERRY PRODUCTION OF FORESTS IN SOUTH SWEDEN by Georgios Gaitanis Lund University Master' s Programme in Environmental Sciences Honours Thesis Supervisor: Bengt Nihlgård Department of Plant Ecology Lund University Summary Various methods of forest management affect the occurrence of berry species in many different ways. It is also known that atmo

This diploma work has been performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey, a company supplying catalysts and technologies, such as formaldehyde plants and catalysts. The aim of the master thesis project was to investigate if and how water impacts the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over a FeMo-catalyst. The investigation covers how water affects the selectivity to the main product a
The bone material from three archaeological occupation phases at Huseby Klev provides the best source of evidence currently available about the subsistence strategies of pioneer settlers in Northern Europe. The results from Huseby Klev indicate that the pioneer settlers initially relied heavily on marine mammals for their sustenance. This subsistence strategy changed during the second and third oc
The active site of the [FeFe] hydrogenases contains two Fe ions bound to one Cys ligand, three CO molecules, two CN(-) ions, and a dithiolate ligand. The nature of the last of these has been much discussed, and it has been suggested that it contains C, N, or O as the bridgehead atom. Most experimental studies indicate a N atom, whereas a recent density functional theory (DFT) study of a crystal st
Poor public perception can obstruct a construction project in a damaging way. Knowledge about public opinion should be considered as a relevant area of expertise for project managers and as an essential cost element in the planning and completion of construction projects. A consensual approach to a siting controversy requires informal face-to-face interaction among chosen representatives from all
