Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om kryptering, strömchiffer, metoder för att analysera (knäcka) och konstruera bättre chiffer. Det finns flera olika metoder för att hemliggöra meddelanden. Det klassiska sättet är att två personer som vill kommunicera delar en hemlig nyckel som används för att både kryptera och dekryptera meddelanden. Denna metod kallas symmetrisk krypteriStream ciphers are cryptographic primitives used to ensure privacy in digital communication. In this thesis we focus on stream ciphers built using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs). Several different stream ciphers are analysed and new attacks are presented. In addition, two new stream ciphers are presented, both based on the same design. The first attack is performed on SOBER-t16 and SOBER

The potential and mechanism to reduce acid gases, such as SO2, NOx and HCl by dry Ca-based sorbents have been studied to improve the efficiencies of the process and sorbent utilization. Several natural limestones were tested for SO2 removal. Calcium conversion as high as 45% was achieved within 0.3 s at 1000°C, 1000 ppm SO2 and Ca/S=1. A SO2 removal efficiency of 95% was reached at Ca/S=2. Two m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetesfoten - Samhällsekonomiska kostnader, hälsoekonomiska aspekter, prevention och livskvalitet Orsak och förekomst. Fotsår är en relativt vanlig komplikation hos personer med diabetes. Ungefär 15% av alla vuxna diabetiker drabbas någon gång av fotsår. Orsakerna till att sår uppstår beror på en ökad risk för nervskador och kärlproblem hos diabetiker. Nervskadorna yThe overall aims were to investigate the economic consequences of foot complications in diabetic patients, to measure the influence of diabetic foot complications on health-related quality of life (HRQL), and to analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations (LEA). The economic consequences of foot ulcers and LEA are large both in a short an

Biomolecular solutions and amphiphilic liquid crystals are studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Dispersion (NMRD) and Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) respectively. A random-flight simulation is performed to obtain the obstructing factors for self-diffusion of small molecules in macrofluids. The accuracy of existing mean-field approximations for the obstruction factors is analyzed. The orientatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Skogen är en av Sveriges mest betydelsefulla naturresurser. Utöver det ekonomiska värdet är skogen även viktig ur ett ekologiskt, socialt och kulturellt perspektiv. För att uppnå ett långsiktigt uthålligt skogsbruk måste alla dessa aspekter beaktas. Uthålliga näringsbalanser i den brukade skogsmarken är nödvändiga för att bevara produktionsförmågan samt minska risken föSweden's forests are one of its most important natural resources, as well as being important from ecological and social perspectives. Nutrient sustainability is essential to maintain the production capacity and reduce the effects of acidification and eutrophication. Nutrient sustainability is strongly affected by anthropogenic influences such as air pollution and forestry practices. Regional asses

China's economic rise and its implications for international relations have attracted worldwide attention in recent years. The outcomes of this development are numerous, complex and involve a wide range of issues. In addition to radical consequences for the Chinese society itself they are also affecting the rest of the world. In this context, there is a big uncertainty of what China’s economic dev

PURPOSE: To determine the effective time window for MR imaging of tumors with blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage after injection of Gd-containing contrast media. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eleven patients with 15 brain lesions (metastasis, glioma, abscess) were studied with a T1-weighted spin-echo sequence repeated over periods of up to 43 min after contrast injection. A quotient was calculated between t

Osteoporosis is characterized by compromised bone mass and strength, predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. Increased bone metabolism has been suggested to be a risk factor for fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether baseline bone turnover markers are associated with long-term incidence of fracture in a population-based sample of 1040 women who were 75 years old (Malmo OPRA

The idea of a European social citizenship is being developed by the EU to provide a minimum safety net. Questions about social citizenship are of fundamental importance in people’s everyday lives. Social assistance is a central dimension when studying social citizenship. Before discussing in terms of a European social citizenship, we should determine whether we have a social citizenship at the nat

Brent geese were tracked by satellite telemetry from spring staging areas in Denmark to Arctic breeding areas in Svalbard and Greenland in 1997 and 2001. From estimated departure masses and carcass analysis we used flight mechnical theory to estimate maximum flight ranges of both sexes, and remaining stores of fat and protein upon arrival in females. Model predictions suggested that all birds but

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by upper and lower motor neuron death with ascending paralysis leading to death. In a transgenic mouse model of ALS (SOD1-G93A) weakness appears at 3 months of age, and because of progressive paralysis leads to death by 5 months. Cyclosporin A (CsA) is well known, for its extracerebral effect, as an immunosuppressant

Palaeoecological records provide a rich source of information to explore how plant distribution ranges respond to climate changes, but their use is complicated by the fact that, especially when based on pollen data, they are often spatially too inaccurate to reliably determine past range limits. To solve this problem, we focus on hazel (Corylus avellana), a tree species with large and heavy fruits

Objectives: To explore reasons for institutionalization of people with dementia according to informal caregivers as well as variation in reasons between countries. Design: An explorative cross-sectional study was conducted in 8 European countries. Setting: Per country, a minimum of 3 long term care facilities, offering care and accommodation as a package, participated in this study. Participating

The effect of harvest time and storage on dietary fibre content and composition was investigated in six cultivars of white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata). Three cultivars were of early maturity type (SW Nordpol, Rolly and Balbro) and three of late maturity type (Predikant, Hanna and Lion). The average total dietary fibre (TDF) content was 241 g kg(-1) dry matter (DM) (CV = 13), of which

We showed that malic enzyme and F-type ATPase isolated from glycophytes and halophytes do not differ significantly in their amino acid composition. Isolated enzymes from both types of plants showed nearly identical salt sensitivity, each, but enzyme activities in fresh homogenates from halophyte leaves apparently were more salt resistant as compared to the ones from glycophytes. These results sugg

Free radicals have recently been proposed to play a role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Ischaemia and hyperglycaemia followed by recirculation have been suggested to initiate free radical production in other tissues and the aim of the present study was to examine whether this could also be the case in the retina. The present study showed retinal cell damage, as measured by pycnotic ce

Purpose. To provide an overview of clinical research on the use of biochemical serum markers for traumatic brain injury (TRI) in the evaluation of patients with mild head injuries (MHI). Methods. The MEDLINE database was searched for publications on biochemical serum markers of TBI until August 2002. Clinical studies addressing their use in MHI were reviewed. Results. Desirable characteristics for
