The former close relation between producer and consumer has gradually disappeared in the industrialisation and globalisation of the food industry. As a result a need for traceability has emerged. It is difficult today for consumers to know if the products they purchase live up to their specifications due to poor communication between the food industry and consumers. This gap between can be address

The conceptual shift in the expectations of wireless users towards multimedia andgroup-oriented computing has a significant impact on today̕s networks in terms of needfor mobility, quality of service (QoS) and multicast routing. Mobile ad hoc networks can provide users with these features. However, it is imperative for them to combine QoS andmulticast routing strategies in order to utilize the wir

Accurate radiation dosimetry is of paramount importance in order to ensure safe delivery of radiotherapy, and for the possibility of meaningful evaluation of clinical trials, as the radiation absorbed dose is correlated to tissue response. The aim of the studies described in this thesis was to investigate and devise novel approaches to mixed beam dosimetry in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

This thesis comprises four papers reporting results from a project studying the fear of flying phenomenon. Paper I is an evaluation study of a new percept-genetic instrument, the Flight Situation Test (FST). A group of 24 subjects with a fear of flying (FoF) and 19 controls (non-FoF) were tested. The test instrument turned out to be valuable in pinpointing differences between the groups, and was i

Introduction There is a great need for quick tests that identify treatment response in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to determine who benefits from the treatment. In this study, A Quick Test of cognitive speed (AQT) was compared with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) in the evaluation of treatment outcome in AD. Methods 75 patients with mild to moderate AD at a memory clinic were assessed with

Using vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio electronic structure calculations of small metal cluster models we have determined the adsorption site of methoxy on Cu(100). The experimental vibrational frequencies are very well reproduced by the model cluster representing the four-fold hollow adsorption site in contrast to calculated frequencies for model clusters representing bridge and on-top adso

The Official records of the Swedish Foreign Ministry and War Ministry clearly indicate that the Stockholm was fully aware of the ongoing massacres and deportations of the Armenian subjects in the Ottoman Empire in an intentional annihilation of the Armenian nation.
