Abstract:
In this study we assessed growth laws of sub-delta crevasses in the Mississippi River delta plain, experimental laboratory deltas, and compared them to previously studied river dominated large deltas worldwide. Metrics for channel and delta geometry for each system were obtained using a combination of geospatial tools, bathymetric datasets, sediment size, and hydrodynamic observations. Most crevasses and experimental deltas appear to obey delta growth laws suggesting that they exhibit planform metrics similar to larger deltas. However, some channels within each system, exhibit outlier behavior (e.g. asymmetric growth) where channel length is much larger than channel width. Hydrodynamic observations and morphodynamic modeling results, support the role of confinement in governing this response, through direct lateral confinement of the receiving basin width and depth thus guiding channels, and indirect confinement caused by sediment cohesion, whereby natural levees guide the systems asymmetric channel growth.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen belyser skolk och dess existens i skolämnet idrott och hälsa. Skolk börjar och förekommer främst i grundskolans senare del. Det finns både för- och nackdelar med att träna, och skolan vill lära alla elever hur de ska skapa och/eller bibehålla en sund livsstil som främjar deras hälsa fysiskt och psykiskt. De elever som inte deltar i idrottsundervisningen går

miste om detta och avsikten med uppsatsen var att ta reda på hur skolkandet ser ut och få exempel på hur det går till, samt av vilka anledningar vissa elever gör detta. De frågeställningar som besvarades var:

1. Varför skolkar elever från idrott och hälsa?

2. Vad påverkar eleven att skolka?

3. Bidrar skolkandet i idrott och hälsa till en negativ syn på idrott?

Syftet var att få en kvalitativ studie, genom att undersöka exempel på fenomenet skolk i idrott och hälsa. Att bara skrapa på ytan av problemet eller att få generella svar var inte önskvärt, utan undersökningens intention var att erhålla djupare orsaker till skolk. För att få kvalitativa svar valdes intervju som metod. Fyra personer i skiftande ålder, som skolkat från idrottslektioner under deras högstadieperiod, deltog i studien och alstrade i ett fylligt material att utgå ifrån.

Anledningarna och förklaringarna till skolkande och bakomliggande åsikter var väldigt varierande. Det fanns mycket som kunde spela in på varför personerna skolkade, och många

knöt an till lärarens inverkan på deras val. Förståelsen för vikten av att ta hand om sin kropp och hälsa var gemensamt för de intervjuade, men att utföra det praktiskt, (det vill säga träna), var det inte alla som gjorde. Det kom även fram goda förslag på hur de hellre hade sett att idrott-och-hälsa-lektionerna utspelat sig. Svaren på forskningsfrågorna blev följande:

1. Eleverna hade dåligt förhållande till sin lärare, som kunde utspela sig på olika sätt,

men det gjorde att de valde att hitta på ursäkter att inte delta. Det fanns en ointresserad lärare, en nedvärderande lärare, ouppmärksam lärare, en för sträng lärare och så vidare. I stort sett ingen av de förklaringar de gav sina undervisande lärare, var detsamma som den egentliga orsaken till att inte delta. Eleverna kände inte motivation att vara med på lektionerna.

2. Den dåliga relationen till respektive lärare påverkade att de inte ville delta. Vänner påverkade också eleverna att skolka, och i ett fall var det att inte ha några vänner som inverkade. Föräldrar uppgavs inte ha påverkat dessa elever.

3. Skolkandet medförde inte att dessa personer hade dålig inställning till motion och rörelse idag, vilket motsäger vad statistik visar. Samtliga visste fördelar med att se över sin hälsa, men alla var inte aktiva för att främja sitt välmående.

Ytterligare aspekter som blev tydliga i arbetet, var hur man kan arbeta som lärare för att motverka skolk. Många bra åsikter om vad som hade kunnat göras för att dessa elever skulle ha deltagit, kom upp. Enligt eleverna kunde mycket skolk ha förhindrats genom en mer demokratisk lärare som lyssnat och sett till alla elever och deras behov. Mycket kom upp om vad som kan göras för, att i största möjliga mån, undvika att elever skolkar från lektioner, men det kräver en stor insats och engagemang för en lärare. Dock kommer aldrig alla elever att

delta i idrott och hälsa. Har en lärare som mål att alla elever ska delta, kan denne komma en bit på vägen. Denna uppsats utgör en grund för att skapa förståelse hos skolans lärare och

ledning till hur skolk kan uppstå och motverkas.

Abstract:
The Niger Delta clastic wedge formed along the West Africa passive margin. This wedge has been divided into three formations that reflect long-term progradation: 1) pro-delta shales of the Akata Formation (Paleocene to Recent), 2) deltaic and paralic facies of the Agbada Formation (Eocene to Recent) and 3) fluviatile facies of the Benin Formation (Oligocene-Recent). This study combines a three-dimensional seismic image with well log data from Delta field to describe lithic variations of the Agbada Formation and develop a sequence stratigraphic framework. The 5000-feet thick Agbada Formation in Delta field is divided by five major sequence boundaries, each observed in seismic cross sections to significantly truncate underlying strata. Sequence boundaries developed as mass flows eroded slopes steepened by the structural collapse of the Niger Delta clastic wedge. Basal deposits directly overlying areas of deepest incision along sequence boundaries formed by the migration of large, sinuous turbidite channels. Upward-coarsening sets of inclined beds, hundreds of feet thick, record progradation of deltas into turbidite-carved canyons and onto down faulted blocks. Thinner, more continuous seismic reflections higher within sequences are associated with blocky and upward-fining well-log patterns interpreted to reflect deposition in shoreline, paralic, and fluvial environments. Episodes of structural collapse of the Niger Delta clastic wedge appear to be associated with progradation of Agbada Formation sediments and the loading of underlying Akata Formation shales. Progradation may have been more rapid during third order eustatic sea level falls. Effects of syn-sedimentary deformation on patterns of sediment transport and deposition are more pronounced in lower sequences within the Agbada Formation, and include: 1) incision into foot walls of listric normal faults, 2) abrupt reorientation of channelized flow pathways across faults, and 3) thinning of deposits across crests of rollover anticlines on down thrown fault blocks. Structural controls on deposition are less pronounced within younger sequences and canyon incisions along sequence boundaries are more pronounced, suggesting that the locus of sediment accumulation and structural collapse of the clastic wedge moved farther basinward as accommodation was filled in the area of Delta field.

Chang, Chi-Chun, and n/a. "Interaction between delta epithelial sodium channel ([delta]ENaC) and COMMD1." University of Otago. Department of Physiology, 2008. http://adt.otago.ac.nz./public/adt-NZDU20080512.123318.

Full text
Abstract:
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is a key regulator of salt homeostasis. The classic ENaC consists of three subunits: α, β and γ, which are highly expressed in the kidney and colon where they mediate electrogenic Na⁺ influx into cells under the tight hormonal regulation of aldosterone. A fourth ENaC subunit named [delta]ENaC also generates Na⁺ influx with the β- and γENaC subunits in Xenopus oocytes. However [delta]ENaC differs to the other subunits in its channel properties and tissue distribution, suggesting that [delta]ENaC may possess a physiological role other than salt regulation. A copper-toxicosis related protein called COMMD1/Murr1 was previously identified to directly interact with [delta]ENaC and downregulate [delta]ENaC activity. COMMD1 is linked with multiple ubiquitination pathways, therefore we hypothesised that COMMD1 directly interacts with [delta]ENaC through novel protein-protein interaction motifs and promotes internalisation of [delta]ENaC from the cell surface through enhanced ubiquitination. With the use of GST pulldown assays and coimmunoprecipitation, it was found that the binding of COMMD1 to [delta]ENaC is mediated by the COMM domain of COMMD1, primarily through amino acids 120-150 of COMMD1. Immunocytochemical studies showed that the intracellular interaction between [delta]ENaC and COMMD1 predominantly occurred in the early and recycling endosomes, suggesting that COMMD1 may promote the retrieval of [delta]ENaC from the cell surface to the intracellular pool. COMMD1 mediated a decrease in the [delta]ENaC cell surface population, as shown by a biotinylation surface labelling assay. This may be driven by an ubiquitin-regulated endocytosis, as COMMD1 increased ubiquitination, but not proteasomal/lysosomal degradation, of [delta]ENaC. COMMD1 may promote [delta]ENaC ubiquitination through the action of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 as coexpression with Nedd4-2 enhanced the COMMD1-mediated decrease in surface [delta]ENaC expression. This is abolished by the addition of the Nedd4-2 downregulator kinase sgk1, suggesting that COMMD1 may downregulate [delta]ENaC through the Nedd4-2/sgk1 pathway. Surface levels of [delta]ENaC may also be affected by XIAP, a RING domain ubiquitin ligase which is able to decrease the levels of COMMD1. Coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous [delta]ENaC and COMMD1 proteins, and the enhanced colocalisation of endogenous [delta]ENaC in the recycling endosomes with transfected COMMD1, indicate that interaction between transfected [delta]ENaC and COMMD1 reflect the intracellular interactions of the endogenous proteins. Taken together, these findings suggest that COMMD1 downregulates [delta]ENaC activity by promoting the internalisation of surface [delta]ENaC into early and recycling endosomes and this may be mediated by enhanced [delta]ENaC ubiquitination via the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2.

Abstract:

Ämnet idrott och hälsa lyfts ofta fram som en viktig komponent för att utveckla en hälsosam

livsstil. Fysisk aktivitet framhålls av forskare som den viktigaste friskfaktorn. Vid den senaste

utvärderingen av ämnet idrott och hälsa visade det sig att 16 procent av eleverna inte tyckte

ämnet var intressant och ett par procent av eleverna deltar aldrig i undervisningen i idrott och

hälsa. Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka vilka bevekelsegrunder elever i år 7-9 har för att

inte delta i undervisningen i ämnet idrott och hälsa. Såväl de grunder som eleverna framför till

sina lärare som de som eleverna inte framför har undersökts. Andra frågeställningar har varit:

vilka förändringar eleverna önskar för att delta i undervisningen samt hur elevernas skäl att

inte delta påverkas av den rådande samhällsdiskursen om allt fler inaktiva och/eller

överviktiga barn. Tre intervjuer med totalt fem intervjupersoner har genomförts och

analyserats med en hermeneutisk ansats. Resultaten visade att de bevekelsegrunder eleverna

anger för sina lärare inte är de samma som dc verkliga. Eleverna som intervjuats har en

negativ inställning till ämnet idrott och hälsa. De upplever att de ingenting lär sig och de är

rädda att göra bort sig och misslyckas. Några tycker inte att de kommer så bra överens med

läraren och några tycker inte att dc lever upp till de kroppsideal som förmedlas via

massmedia. Ingen av eleverna duschar i de duschutrymmen som anvisas. De förändringar som

eleverna efterfrågar är enskilda duschutrymmen, större valmöjligheter samt mer lek och

mindre traditionella bollsporter.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is the outcome of a research project undertaken to determine how diet can affect the reliability of rat bone (especially that of Rattus exulans) for accurate radiocarbon analysis. It addresses questions about the reliability of R. exulans bone for radiocarbon dating with respect to the survival of bone in archaeological and natural burial sites, laboratory processing methods, and the extent to which diet influences radiocarbon ages of bone. I have shown that R. exulans bone can return reliable radiocarbon dates, based on bone survival and the efficacy of chemical treatment to remove burial contamination. In three dietary investigations, stable isotope (13C and 15N) and radiocarbon (14C) analyses of modem populations and archaeological specimens also indicated that Rattus exulans and other omnivorous species can have radiocarbon values influenced by a diet linked to 14C – depleted reservoirs. Moreover, depleted carbon reservoir effects are localised and variable in their magnitude. Work on modem populations also provided an improved means of isotopic analysis in an ecological study, where bomb-generated radiocarbon (∆14C) signatures in the natural environment were used as for other "tracer" studies, in conjunction with stable isotopes (13C and 15N). Results indicated that the changing atmospheric 14C signal fixed into the biota in a given year by photosynthesis is transferred from plants through trophic levels to end-members, including rats. The additional isotopic "clue" about diet given by radiocarbon analysis offered a better understanding of the variation in diets of R. exulans in different habitats. Variation in the isotopic signal among individuals supported other observations that diets of scavenging rats are opportunistic and associated with faunal availability in different habitats. To better understand diet-induced radiocarbon variations, I also examined the carbon contribution to bone protein from essential amino acids in the diet. Essential amino acids are the biochemical "messengers" in the carbon transfer from diet to bone protein. I originally proposed that the dietary 14C contribution might be measured by HPLC separation of essential amino acids in bone protein. Analysis of a selection of amino acid separations from protein hydrolysates showed that essential and non-essential amino acids produced widely varying 13C and ∆14C. I hypothesise that the radiocarbon variations in non-essential amino acids may be due to metabolic effects that utilise essential amino acid carbon skeletons in the creation of non-essential amino acids.

Full text
Abstract:

Sigma-delta modulators (SDM) have come up as an attractive candidatefor analog-to-digital conversion in single chip front ends thanks to the continuousimproving performance. The major disadvantage is the limited bandwidthdue to the need of oversampling. Therefore, extending these convertersto broadband applications requires lowering the oversampling ratio (OSR) inorder. The aim of this thesis is the investigation on the topology and structureof sigma-delta modulators suitable for wideband applications, e.g. wireline orwireless communication system applications having a digital baseband aboutone to ten MHz.It has recently become very popular to feedforward the input signal inwideband sigma-delta modulators, so that the integrators only process quantizationerrors. The advantage being that the actual signal is not distorted byopamp and integrator nonlinearities. An improved feedforward 2-2 cascadedstructure is presented based on unity-gain signal transfer function (STF). Theimproved signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is obtained by optimizing zero placementof the noise transfer function (NTF) and adopting multi-bit quantizer.The proposed structure has low distortion across the entire input range.In high order single loop continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta modulator, excessloop delay may cause instability. Previous techniques in compensation ofinternal quantizer and feedback DAC delay are studied especially for the feedforwardstructure. Two alternative low power feedforward continuous-timesigma-delta modulators with excess loop delay compensation are proposed.Simulation based CT modulator synthesis from discrete time topologies isadopted to obtain the loop filter coefficients. Design examples are given toillustrate the proposed structure and synthesis methodology.Continuous time quadrature bandpass sigma-delta modulators (QBSDM)efficiently realize asymmetric noise-shaping due to its complex filtering embeddedin the loops. The effect of different feedback waveforms inside themodulator on the NTF of quadrature sigma-delta modulators is presented.An observation is made that a complex NTF can be realized by implementingthe loop as a cascade of complex integrators with a SCR feedback digital-toanalogconverter (DAC), which is desirable for its lower sensitivity to loopmismatch. The QBSDM design for different bandpass center frequencies relativeto the sampling frequency is illustrated.The last part of the thesis is devoted to the design of a wideband reconfigurablesigma-delta pipelined modulator, which consists of a 2-1-1 cascadedmodulator and a pipelined analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) as a multi-bitquantizer in the last stage. It is scalable for different bandwidth/resolutionapplication. The detail design is presented from system to circuit level. Theprototype chip is fabricated in TSMC 0.25um process and measured on thetest bench. The measurement results show that a SNR over 60dB is obtainedwith a sampling frequency of 70 MHz and an OSR of ten.

Abstract:
The wide availability of mobile devices capable of computing high fidelity graphics in real-time has sparked a renewed interest in the development and research of Augmented Reality applications. Within the large spectrum of mixed real and virtual elements one specific area is dedicated to produce realistic augmentations with the aim of presenting virtual copies of real existing objects or soon to be produced products. Surprisingly though, the current state of this area leaves much to be desired: Augmenting objects in current systems are often presented without any reconstructed lighting whatsoever and therefore transfer an impression of being glued over a camera image rather than augmenting reality. In light of the advances in the movie industry, which has handled cases of mixed realities from one extreme end to another, it is a legitimate question to ask why such advances did not fully reflect onto Augmented Reality simulations as well. Generally understood to be real-time applications which reconstruct the spatial relation of real world elements and virtual objects, Augmented Reality has to deal with several uncertainties. Among them, unknown illumination and real scene conditions are the most important. Any kind of reconstruction of real world properties in an ad-hoc manner must likewise be incorporated into an algorithm responsible for shading virtual objects and transferring virtual light to real surfaces in an ad-hoc fashion. The immersiveness of an Augmented Reality simulation is, next to its realism and accuracy, primarily dependent on its responsiveness. Any computation affecting the final image must be computed in real-time. This condition rules out many of the methods used for movie production. The remaining real-time options face three problems: The shading of virtual surfaces under real natural illumination, the relighting of real surfaces according to the change in illumination due to the introduction of a new object into a scene, and the believable global interaction of real and virtual light. This dissertation presents contributions to answer the problems at hand. Current state-of-the-art methods build on Differential Rendering techniques to fuse global illumination algorithms into AR environments. This simple approach has a computationally costly downside, which limits the options for believable light transfer even further. This dissertation explores new shading and relighting algorithms built on a mathematical foundation replacing Differential Rendering. The result not only presents a more efficient competitor to the current state-of-the-art in global illumination relighting, but also advances the field with the ability to simulate effects which have not been demonstrated by contemporary publications until now.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a universal model of documents and deltas. This model formalize what it means to find differences between documents and to shows a single shared formalization that can be used by any algorithm to describe the differences found between any kind of comparable documents. The main scientific contribution of this thesis is a universal delta model that can be used to represent the changes found by an algorithm. The main part of this model are the formal definition of changes (the pieces of information that records that something has changed), operations (the definitions of the kind of change that happened) and deltas (coherent summaries of what has changed between two documents). The fundamental mechanism tha makes the universal delta model a very expressive tool is the use of encapsulation relations between changes. In the universal delta model, changes are not always simple records of what has changed, they can also be combined into more complex changes that reflects the detection of more meaningful modifications. In addition to the main entities (i.e., changes, operations and deltas), the model describes and defines also documents and the concept of equivalence between documents. As a corollary to the model, there is also an extensible catalog of possible operations that algorithms can detect, used to create a common library of operations, and an UML serialization of the model, useful as a reference when implementing APIs that deal with deltas. The universal delta model presented in this thesis acts as the formal groundwork upon which algorithm can be based and libraries can be implemented. It removes the need to recreate a new delta model and terminology whenever a new algorithm is devised. It also alleviates the problems that toolmakers have when adapting their software to new diff algorithms.

At the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center a comprehensive study of low-Q2 spin-dependent electron scattering from deuterium has been carried out using the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST). This experiment has employed an 850 MeV polarized electron beam from the MIT-Bates linear accelerator incident on an internal polarized deuterium target and the BLAST detector. Deuterium's simple composition is an important factor in understanding the structure of the inter-nucleon potential. The pion production region has a resonant structure and is a promising location to search for pre-existing delta particles in deuterium. While, theoretical calculations predict that delta resonant states account for anywhere from 0.25 to 3.60% of the nuclear wave function, more realistic predictions for deuterium range from 0.3 to 1.0%. This thesis presents the determination of the (e,e'++) event rate from deuterium, the first of many steps towards a complete study of delta resonant states.

Abstract:
La thèse décrit une nouvelle voie d'accès aux delta-carbolines par association des réactions de métallation et de couplage croisé catalysé par le palladium. Cette stratégie, totalement convergente et régiosélective, nécessite la synthèse de la 3-fluoro-2-iodopyridine et de l'acide 2-pivaloylaminophénylboronique. L'étude de la métallation isomérisante en série quinoléine a permis d'étendre la méthode à la préparation de benzo--carbolines et de cryptolépines substituées. Enfin, la préparation d'alcaloïdes plus complexes isolés de la Cryptolepis sanguinolenta a été abordée avec les premières synthèses totales de la cryptomisrine et de la 11-isopropylcryptolépine.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la synthèse et l'étude des propriétés structurales et magnétiques de perovskites RBaMn2O6-d (où d = 0 et 0,5). En ce qui concerne le composé YBaMn2O6, les mesures par DSC indiquent que celui-ci subit trois transitions : deux autour de 500K et la troisième à 750K. L'étude par diffraction des rayons X et de neutrons a montré que la phase de plus haute température cristallisait dans le groupe P4/nbm. Les diffractogrammes de rayons X et de neutrons ne présentent qu'un seul changement alors que deux transitions sont observées par DSC au voisinage de 500K. La phase intermédiaire a été affinée dans le groupe d'espace C2/m. La phase d'ordre de charges (en dessous de 500K) étant de basse symétrie, nous avons réalisé un affinement combiné rayons X-neutrons. Les résultats obtenus indiquent un écart de seulement 15% par rapport à un ordre de charges idéal Mn3+/Mn4+. L'affinement de la structure magnétique et les mesures de susceptibilité magnétique indiquent la formation de polarons de Zener contenant quatre cations manganèse. Le composé YBaMn2O5,5 cristallise dans le groupe d'espace Icma, sa maille étant double de celle du composé au lanthane. Ceci est du à l'existence d'une rotation des octaèdres de la structure autour de la direction [001] dans le composé YBaMn2O5,5. L'affinement de la structure magnétique ainsi que les mesures de susceptibilité magnétique indiquent que les spins des cations Mn3+ présents dans la structure sont couplés de manière antiferromagnétique. L'étude des composés RBaMn2O6 nous a permis d'établir un diagramme de phases en fonction de la terre rare et de la température
In our study we have synthesised and studied the structural and magnetic structure of the perovskite RBaMn2O6-d (where d=0 and 0. 5). Concerning the compound YBaMn2O6, DSC measurements show that it undergoes three transitions: two around 500K and a third one at 750K. X-ray and neutron diffraction studies have shown that the high temperature phase crystallises in the space group P4/nbm. The X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns show only one structural transition whereas two endothermic peaks are observed in the DSC measurements around 500K. The intermediate phase structure was refined in the space group C2/m. The charge ordered phase (that below 500K) being characterised by a low symmetry, we have realised a combined X-ray/neutron diffraction refinement. The results which were obtained show a difference of only 15%, with respect to the ideal charge separation Mn3+/Mn4+. The refinement of the magnetic structure, and the magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the formation of Zener polarons containing four manganese cations. The compound YBaMn2O5. 5 crystallises in the space group Icma, its cell being twice that of the lanthanum same compound. This is due to the existence, in the YBaMn2O5. 5 compound, of a rotation of the octahedra around the [001] direction. The refinement of the magnetic structure and the magnetic susceptibility measurements have shown that the magnetic moments of the Mn3+ cations present in the structure, are antiferromagnetically coupled

Abstract:
La storia del Delta del Po mostra la mutevolezza di questo paesaggio derivata dall’interazione continua tra le forze della natura e le attività dell’uomo che ha favorito la creazione di una grande varietà di ambienti naturali e culturali di valore eccezionale. L’area del Delta del Po offrendo paesaggi differenti tra loro, una ricca varietà di specie animali, un consistente patrimonio materiale, crea un’offerta diversificata che interessa sempre più il turista moderno in cerca di esperienze autentiche che siano legate al territorio. Tra tutte le forme di turismo che si possono praticare, solo lo “slow tourism” si configura come quel tipo di turismo che è in grado di portare vantaggi in chiave turistica alla destinazione favorendo la destagionalizzazione, la diffusione di benefici su tutto il territorio, la crescita delle opportunità di reddito e della competitività. All’interno di questo contesto così complesso si inserisce la bonifica che rappresenta una testimonianza storica che è stata indispensabile per rendere vivibili le aree del Delta permettendo sia la conservazione ambientale sia la possibilità di uno sviluppo economico del territorio. Attraverso un’analisi del “turista slow” e dei suoi principali interessi, verrà dimostrato se il patrimonio legato alla bonifica, dalle modificazioni avvenute nel paesaggio, agli interventi idraulici, alle strutture architettoniche, interessa il turista e se può essere utilizzato come elemento di richiamo turistico e di valorizzazione per il territorio. Infine, verranno considerate le iniziative per la promozione di forme di turismo lento che danno attenzione ai concetti di responsabilità e sostenibilità grazie alle quali è possibile valorizzare al meglio l’area portando benefici sia al territorio sia alle popolazioni che vi vivono.

Abstract:
Population-based cervical cancer screening programs (PCCSPs) were introduced in Stockholm in the 1960s; today all women residents aged 23-60 are invited to a cost-free Pap smear at regular intervals. A shift in scientific knowledge has occurred, with clarification of the link between human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical cancer (CC), and the introduction of HPV-vaccines for primary prevention of CC. While there is a large body of research on CC screening, fewer studies address screening experiences of women in different phases of life with different screening histories. The aim of this thesis was to explore how women reason about CC, its causes, prevention and participation in CC screening. Method: These studies were guided by the inductive approach interpretive description . Sub-study I is based on qualitative analysis of 12 telephone interviews and 86 fax messages sent to the screening organisation by women who actively chose not to participate in PCCSP. Sub-study II is based on longitudinal interview data from 30 women, who underwent medical follow-up of an abnormal Pap smear. Sub-studies III and IV are based on data from 30-year old women with varied screening background and experiences, derived from 9 face-to-face focus group discussions (FGD) (sub-studies III, IV) and 30 internet-based FGDs (sub-study IV). Results: Women s ways of conceptualizing health, illness, and risk for disease in general impacted on their decision-making about attending PCCSP. Matters related to sickness, including CC and its prevention, were generally described as distant and unprioritized by many women. The manner 30-year old women self-defined themselves in the transition between youth and adulthood appears to strongly influence their reasoning not only about PCCSP, but also about other forms of health maintenance and disease prevention. How women defined and conceptualized distinctions between, and roles and responsibilities of, the private and the public was also found to be central in explanations of decision-making, especially among women who actively chose not to take a Pap smear. Women described a wide range of factors which could motivate them to participate in PCCSP, related to all aspects of the program, from invitation through follow-up, and a need for different types and forms of information. Many suggestions were related to individualization of the PCCSP; a need to understand the relationship between HPV and CC also was addressed. We also found that medical follow-up of an abnormal Pap smear involved an experience of both having and being a body, which changed over time. The conceptualization of bodily boundaries appeared to change, e.g. through vaginal discharges and bleeding, as well as linkages to the bodies of women in their extended families through the generations. Conclusion: All facets of the PCCSP and social marketing were found to influence women s experiences of and decisions about screening attendance. Women s views of the PCCSP as a comprehensive system suggest a need for increased collaboration among the many professionals with direct and indirect involvement in the PCCSP. These studies suggest that coordination with and information about PCCSP is an important implication for when initiating HPV vaccination programs, as a means of aiding women in integration of different types of knowledge and information.

Abstract:

Stockholms vattenskärning AB in Kungsängen has through the acquisition of a company begun to design and produce aircraft heaters whose origin is early 1970s which follows a high inefficiency in terms of energy consumption and size.

The aircraft heater, which is sold worldwide, serves its purpose for customer satisfaction and has done so ever since it was developed in the 70s.

Stockholms vattenskärning AB is now investigating the possibility in making the aircraft heaters more efficient, both in terms of energy consumption but also on a more efficient design with the belief that it would lead them to an edge in the market.

 

The aircraft heater consists of several main components whose function altogether is to keep passenger aircrafts warm while they are on the ground.

This project has been limited to the further development of the heat exchanger package which accounts for the conversion of the hot medium to the fresh air being carried in to the aircraft cabin.

 

Work has been divided into different phases in order to create a better understanding of the project range and to make it easier to divide the various elements in the time available, 10 weeks. These phases are literature review, situation analysis, concept generation, CAD, concept comparison and writing reports.

After the initial literature review was made, a fundamental theory was written which is essential in understanding the remaining parts of the project.

With the theoretical part as support, measurements and calculations were made on the current heat exchange package in a situation analysis to ensure its operation and efficiency.

In the concept generation phase, the collected facts from the literature review was used as the basis for creating a matrix. The purpose of the matrix was to indicate the two most suitable types of heat exchangers to develop four new concepts out of.

In the CAD phase the four concepts was drawn up and then described with text and images.

The last phase is the concept comparison where a concept selection matrix is used to function as a decision basis for further production at Stockholms vattenskärning AB.

 

The four concepts have been developed based on the current heat exchanger and is gradually changed into a design of a cross-flow heat exchanger constructed out of stainless sections. The purpose of this is to have gradual upgrading of the heat exchanger as an option, in order not to saturate the market.

Abstract:
With today’s technology, digital signal processing plays a major role. It is used widely in many applications. Many applications require high resolution in measured data to achieve a perfect digital processing technology. The key to achieve high resolution in digital processing systems is analog-to-digital converters. In the market, there are many types ADC for different systems. Delta-sigma converters has high resolution and expected speed because it’s special structure. The signal-to-noise-and-distortion (SINAD) and total harmonic distortion (THD) are two important parameters for delta-sigma converters. The paper will describe the theory of parameters and test method.

Abstract:
Dans les années 90 Garsia et Haiman ont introduit le $mathfrak S_n$-module des emph{harmoniques diagonales}, c'est à dire les co-invariants de l'action diagonale du groupe symétrique $mathfrak S_n$ sur les polynômes à deux ensembles de $n$ variables. Ils ont proposé la conjecture selon laquelle le caractère de Frobenius bi-gradué de leur module est $abla e_n$, où $abla$ est un opérateur sur l'anneau des fonction symétriques. En 2002, Haiman prouva cette conjecture. Quelques années plus tard, Haglund, Haiman, Loehr, Remmel et Ulyanov proposèrent une formule combinatoire pour la fonction symétrique $abla e_n$, qu'ils appelèrent la emph{conjecture shuffle}. Les objets combinatoires qui y figurent sont les chemins de Dyck étiquetés. Un raffinement emph{compositionnel} de cette formule fut ensuite proposé par Haglund, Morse et Zabrocki. C'était ce raffinement que Carlsson et Mellit réussirent enfin à montrer en 2018, établissant ainsi le emph{théorème shuffle}. La emph{conjecture Delta} est une paire de formules combinatoires pour la fonction symétrique $Delta'_{e_{n-k-1}}e_n$ en termes des chemins de Dyck étiquetés et décorés, qui généralise le théorème shuffle. Elle fut proposée par Hagund, Remmel et Wilson en 2015 est reste aujourd'hui un problème ouvert. Dans la même publication les auteurs proposèrent une formule pour $Delta_{h_m}Delta'_{e_{n-k-1}}e_n$ en termes de chemins de Dyck partiellement étiquetés et décorés, appelé emph{conjecture Delta généralisée}. Nous proposons un raffinement compositionnel de la conjecture Delta en utilisant des nouveaux opérateurs de fonctions symétriques: les opérateurs Theta. Nous généralisons les arguments combinatoires que Carlsson et Mellit utilisèrent pour la preuve du théorème shuffle au contexte de la conjecture Delta. Nous prouvons également la formule pour $Delta_{h_m} abla e_n$ en termes de chemins de Dyck partiellement étiqueté, c'est à dire le cas $k=0$ de la conjecture Delta généralisée. En 2006, Can et Loehr proposèrent la emph{conjecture carré}, exprimant la fonction symétrique $(-1)^{n-1}abla p_n$ en termes de chemins carrés étiquetés. Sergel montra que le théorème shuffle implique la conjecture carré. Nous généralisons le résultat de Sergel en montrant que une des formules de la conjecture Delta généralisée implique une formule combinatoire de la fonction $(-1)^{n-k}Delta_{h_m}Theta_kp_{n-k}$ e

Abstract:
The thesis describes and applies two parametric option pricing models which partially ease the well-known discrepancy between real world and Black-Scholes model. Stochastic volatility and jumps encompassed by Heston and SVJ models explain implied volatility smile and its heterogeneous term-structure. Both models are calibrated to market data observed for EURUSD currency options on January 23, 2015. While SVJ model provided a better fit for the market, especially for mid-term expiry smile curvature, its estimated risk-neutral parameters were unrealistic comparing with their counterparts under statistical measure. Estimations suggest zero long term price volatility and 2 jumps during the year with average magnitude of 6 \%. Both models failed to match curvature of short time to expiry smile and provided a good fit of term-structure and long-expiry smile. Analysing delta ratios adjusted for non-constant volatility as a possible alternatives the study considered minimum variance delta estimated with Heston model, delta ratio recommended by Nassim Taleb and two deltas adjusted for local volatility assuming sticky moneyness and sticky tree dynamics of implied volatility. On data set of EURUSD options from 1.1.2014 to 30.5.2015, our research did not find any alternative which would be more reliable than common Black-Scholes delta.

Abstract:
Le convertisseur analogique-numérique fondé sur le principe de modulation SD est capable de fournir une très haute résolution. Bien qu'il nécessite un suréchantillonnage, il est peu sensible aux imperfections des composants. Le modulateur SD classique est donc très populaire pour les applications de bande étroite demandant une très haute résolution. Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'extension des applications du modulateur SD vers une bande passante plus large. Nous avons tout d'abord étudié l'architecture parallèle basant sur la modulation SD et proposé une nouvelle architecture basant sur la modulation SD passe-haut et l'entrelacement temporel permettant de réduire de façon significative le problème caractéristique du parallélisme, à savoir la disparité entre les canaux. Nous avons ensuite étudié le modulateur SD passe-haut et proposé une implémentation en technique des capacités commutées. Ce nouveau modulateur, contrairement au modulateur classique, est complètement immune au bruit de basse fréquence et peut être utilisé non seulement dans une architecture parallèle, mais aussi de façon autonome. Nous avons aussi modélisé la plupart de non-idéalités du modulateur en VHDL-AMS pour finalement arriver à une méthodologie de conception descendante qui permet de dériver les spécifications de tous les blocs du circuit à partir de performance visée pour le système complet. L'implémentation d'un modulateur SD passe-haut d'ordre 2 et un convertisseur SD passe-haut en combinant avec l'entrelacement temporel a été réalisée en technologie CMOS 0,35 mm. Enfin, notre travail nous a permis de démontrer non seulement l'avantage du modulateur SD passe-haut, mais aussi un perspective prometteur du modulateur SD parallèle pour les applications de très large bande.

Abstract:
delta-Aminolaevulinate synthase (delta-ALAS) is the first enzyme in the haem biosynthetic pathway, catalysing the condensation of succinyl CoA and glycine to form delta-aminolaevulinic acid (delta-ALA). The enzyme delta-ALAS has been studied in a number of species including yeast, a facultative anaerobe, and multicellular eukaryotes. The primary structure of the protein from a number of species exhibit regions of highly conserved amino acids, and a nucleotide probe based on one region was designed and used to clone the structural gene for delta-ALAS from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The cloned gene, hemA, was sequenced and found to possess a single intron, of 64bp, located between 355 and 419nt in the gene; between amino acids 119 and 120 of the protein. The deduced protein sequence, of 648 amino acids, shows 64% identity over the carboxyl domain of the protein derived from the yeast HEM1 gene. The amino-terminal sequence consists of basic amino acids, believed to be involved in mitochondrial targeting, and is consistent with observations on other delta-ALAS proteins. One copy of the hemA gene was disrupted in a diploid strain of A. nidulans following the transformation with a suitable disruption vector. The recessive hemA-mutant strain was isolated by mitotic haploidisation and shown to have an absolute requirement for delta-ALA, not replaceable by haem supplied in the medium. Genetic analysis by mitotic haploidisation of a heterozygous diploid constructed between a hemA-mutant and a suitable mapping strain, located the hemA gene to chromosome VII of A. nidulans.
