The scheme presently envisaged for the EURO50 adaptive optics ispresented. The Euro50 adaptive optics will primarily work with laserguide stars (LGSs) and control of either one or two deformable mirrors(SCAO and DCAO respectively), but operation using a natural guide star(NGS) is also foreseen. The point spread function (PSF) for SCAOoperation using a single NGS is evaluated. An algorithm for opti
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodgruppering med genteknik - studier av ABO-systemets arvsanlag Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Blodtransfusioner som utfördes före sekelskiftet slutade ofta med svåra komplikationer och i många fall patientens död. Scenariot förändrades dramatiskt till det bättre i och med den österrikiske läkaren Karl Landsteiners upptäckt av blodgruppssystemet ABO (The ABO blood group system is undoubtedly the most important genetic and phenotypic marker in clinical transfusion medicine. The A and B determinants are immunodominant, terminally located carbohydrate residues of glycoconjugates on erythrocytes and other cell surfaces. The enzymes responsible for assembly of these structures are glycosyltransferases encoded by the ABO genes on chromosome nine. T
We present a qualitative physical model of the origin of two very brightUV lines of Fe II at 2507-2509 Å, present in high-resolutionspectra of gaseous condensations (blobs) close to the central star ofeta Carinae. The spectra have been obtained with the Hubble SpaceTelescope (HST). The model is based on a type of Bowen mechanism withselective photoexcitation of Fe II by a broad HLyalpha profile,ge
Levande celler innehåller så kallade organeller som utför olika uppgifter och är viktiga för cellens överlevnad. Deras roll kan liknas vid organens funktion i våra kroppar. Många utav dessa organeller har en membranvägg, som skyddar dem från resten av cellens inre. Det finns dock även organeller som saknar omgivande membran och istället, likt en vattendroppe, hålls ihop av ytspänning. Dessa membra
Singlar i jakt på kärlek och med tillgång till internet, är sällan obekanta med tan-ken att testa nätdejting. Det är idag en vedertagen metod att söka sin framtida partner på nätet. Tidigare forskning har visat att ett vanligt sätt att kommunicera på dejtingsajter är lika de strategier, vilka används vid personlig varumärkning.

NGC 1097 is a nearby barred spiral galaxy believed to be interacting with the elliptical galaxy NGC 1097A located to its northwest. It hosts a Seyfert 1 nucleus surrounded by a circumnuclear starburst ring. Two straight dust lanes connected to the ring extend almost continuously out to the bar. The other ends of the dust lanes attach to two main spiral arms. To provide a physical understanding of
Context. Kinematical data such as the mean velocities and velocity dispersions of stellar samples are useful tools to study galactic structure and evolution. However, observational data are often incomplete (e. g., lacking the radial component of the motion) and may have significant observational errors. For example, the majority of faint stars observed with Gaia will not have their radial velocit
Context. A number of large spectroscopic surveys of stars in the Milky Way are under way or are being planned. In this context it is important to discuss the extent to which elemental abundances can be used as discriminators between different (known and unknown) stellar populations in the Milky Way. Aims. We aim to establish the requirements in terms of precision in elemental abundances, as derive
Issue of study: To be a well performing company over time, profitability and growth are considered the key strategic value drivers. Swedish and Finnish manufacturing companies are using different strategies to handle this challenge and some are performing better than others. In a world of globalization it is essential for the companies to remain competitive. Purpose: The purpose of this study is
The usual terrestrial optical astronomy is focused on observing vertically through the atmosphere. When traveling through the atmosphere, the light coming from distant objects gets distorted by the turbulent atmosphere due to varying refractive indices. The effects varies with time and causes position shifts, size changes and intensity variations in an image. The closer to the ground that the ligh
The data and analysis methodology used for the SDSS/APOGEE Data Releases 13 and 14 are described, highlighting differences from the DR12 analysis presented in Holtzman et al. Some improvement in the handling of telluric absorption and persistence is demonstrated. The derivation and calibration of stellar parameters, chemical abundances, and respective uncertainties are described, along with the ra
The program HiggsBounds is a well-established tool for testing Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) theories with an extended Higgs sector against experimental limits from collider searches at LEP, Tevatron and LHC. Thus far, it could be applied to any neutral or charged Higgs bosons originating from the modified Higgs sector. Implicitly, these particles were assumed to exhibit a somewhat hierarchical
Leptoquarks are ubiquitous in several extensions of the Standard Model and seem to be able to accommodate the universality-violation-driven B-meson-decay anomalies and the (g −2)μ discrepancy interpreted as deviations from the Standard Model predictions. In addition, the search for lepton-flavour violation in the charged sector is, at present, a major research program that could also be facilitate
We present a method to find anomaly-free gauged Froggatt-Nielsen type models using results from algebraic geometry. These methods should be of general interest for model building beyond the Standard Model (SM) when rational charges are required. We consider models with a gauged U(1) flavor symmetry with one flavon and two Higgs doublets and three right-handed SM singlets to provide three model exa
The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle
