We study the complexity of the dynamic partial sum problem in the cell-probe model. We give the model access to nondeterministic queries and prove that the problem remains hard. We give the model access to the right answer +/-1 as an oracle and prove that the problem remains hard. This suggests which kind of information is hard to maintain. From these results, we derive a number of lower bounds fo
Objective Incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in men than in women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the gender differential can be modified by pharmacological intervention in a population-based setting. Design and method In a prospective population-based cohort - the Malmo Diet and Cancer study - a total of 3608 hypertensives (1559 men, 2049 women), 45-73 years old
Recent marsupials include about 280 species divided into 18 families and seven orders. Approximately 200 species live in Australia/New Guinea. The remaining species inhabit South America with some of these secondarily ranging into North America. In this study, we examine marsupial relationships and estimate their divergences times using complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes. The sampling, which incl
Results from large scale, ab initio MCHF calculations are presented for the transition properties of the 3s2 3p2(3)P(J-)e{3s3p3, 3s2 3p3d, 3s2 3p4s} 5S2o and 3P2o intercombination and resonance lines in P II. The agreement with experiment is good, the systematic approach shows convergence and the agreement between different forms of the oscillator strength is excellent for the resonance lines.
The application of a quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase modified thick-film sensor as label detector in a capillary immunoassay (CIA) for xenoestrogens is presented. The detection of the alkylphenols and their ethoxylates is based on the competition between the analyte and tracer molecules for the binding sites of anti-alkylphenol ethoxylate antibodies. This assay is performed off-line in small di
The paper argues that the final value of an object, i.e., its value for its own sake, need not be intrinsic. It need not supervene on the object’s internal properties. Extrinsic final value, which accrues to things (or persons) in virtue of their relational features, cannot be traced back to the intrinsic value of states that involve these things together with their relations. On the opposite, suc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av en tillämpad och en teoretisk del. I den tillämpade delen studeras tänkbara riskfaktorer för blodsjukdomarna myeloisk leukemi (ML) och myelodysplastiska syndrom (MDS). Den teoretiska delen tar upp några metodproblem som kan uppstå i epidemiologiska undersökningar som utnyttjar databaser innehållande uppgifter om andelen personer i olika yrkesgCase-control studies comprising telephone interviews for 333 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 226 cases of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML), 330 cases of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and matched controls were conducted. Information had to be obtained from next-of-kin much more often for cases (85%) than for controls (18%). Tobacco smoking was associated
A general approach to derive summation rules in electromagnetics using Herglotz functions is presented in this paper. This approach is then used to obtain summation rules and bounds on partial wave scattering, which are illustrated numerically by the scattering of a Drude sphere.
Cellulose can be chemically modified to produce derivatives with specific properties. Knowledge of correlations between the modification reaction, substituent distribution, origin of cellulose and properties are importaint in order to design processess so as to produce derivatives with the desired properties. This thesis describes research on newly developed analytical methods for the analysis of

We present CasADi, a free, open-source software tool for rapid, yet efficient solution of optimization problems in general and dynamic optimization problems in particular. To the developer of algorithms for numerical optimization and to the advanced user of such algorithms, it offers a level of abstraction which is notably lower, and hence more flexible, than that of algebraic modeling languages s
The direct problem of time dependent electromagnetic scattering in the dispersive sphere is solved by a wave splitting technique. The electric field is expanded in a series involving vector spherical harmonics, leading to a system of wave equations for each term. These systems are reduced to scalar wave equations for each term, which are solved via reflection operators. Some preliminary numerical
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under senare tid har hävdats att den IT/media-drivna så kallade "nya ekonomin" starkt etablerats. Enligt många påverkar IT/media teknologier marknadsföring och affärsverksamheter på ett 'revolutionerande' sätt. Denna avhandling behandlar kritiskt och strategiskt konstruktionen av värdeskapande affärserbjudanden där IT/media används. Vidare utvecklar författaren grundläg
