The purpose of this work is of evaluating the choice of HfO2 and ITO as the dielectric and the top electrode in high performance resistive random-access memory (RRAM), respectively. The study is twofold, as it quantifies performance according to standard figures of merit for this technology, as well as provides insight into the physics of current conduction for this material choice. Results are achi

Background: In order to diagnose children with ADHD, the DSM-IV measures inattention (IA) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) behavior in the context of significant impairment social and academic function. In order to diagnose, symptoms must be present in two different setting, which is commonly established in terms of home and school behaviors with the help of parent and teacher reports. Previous

Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår kropp genereras konstant ett stort antal nya blodceller för att ersätta de som går förlorade. Olika sorters blodceller är ansvariga för att transportera syre till alla våra vävnader, hjälpa till med blodets koagulering vid skador och att slåss mot infektioner orsakade av bakterier och virus. All blodceller härstammar från en liten population med blodstamceller somHematopoiesis is the process of blood formation from a limited pool of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These rare stem cells can both self-renew to maintain the HSC pool, and differentiate to continuously replenish lost blood cells. The mechanisms of HSC regulation are not fully known. The aim of this thesis was to study the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in HSCs. The Hippo pathway is a newl

Feather mosses utilize various sources of nitrogen (N): they absorb N deposited on leaf tissue, they host N-2 fixing cyanobacteria, and they are able to take up N directly from soil. In addition to their importance as primary producers in boreal ecosystems, feather mosses play a significant role in N cycling. However, estimates of their ability to take up N from soil in situ are scarce. Further, c

Intraneuronal inclusions containing alpha-synuclein (a-syn) constitute one of the pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and are accompanied by severe neurodegeneration of A9 dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra. Although to a lesser extent, A10 dopaminergic neurons are also affected. Neurodegeneration of other neuronal populations, such as the cholinergic, serotonergic

We hypothesised that the correlation between autoantibody specificity for the ZnT8 Arg325Trp isoforms and the type 2 diabetes-associated rs13266634 may affect beta-cell function at type 1 diabetes (T ID) onset. To study this, we tested 482 newly diagnosed diabetic probands and 478 healthy siblings from the Danish population-based T1D registry for autoantibodies to ZnT8 (ZnT8A) in addition to GAD65

BACKGROUND: Blockade of CD40 ligand (CD40L; CD154, gp39) is a potential treatment for autoimmune disease and allograft rejection. However, CD40L-/- mice are capable of mobilizing cellular immune responses to viral, parasitic, and intracellular bacterial infections as well as rejecting skin grafts with nearly the same efficiency as wild-type mice. CD40L-deficient mice (CD40L-/-) or wild-type mice t

In the spring of 2005, the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe (CT) was rejected in French and Dutch referenda. The document, that was to lead the recently expanded European Union (EU) into the future, was instead put on pause for reflection. Why was there such fear and scepticism towards the CT? What was the CT really all about? In this analysis of the CT, I look at the CT from three le

X-ray crystallography is the main source of atomistic information on the structure of proteins. Normal crystal structures are obtained as a compromise between the X-ray scattering data and a set of empirical restraints that ensure chemically reasonable bond lengths and angles. However, such restraints are not always available or accurate for nonstandard parts of the structure, for example substrat
