Professor Lars Roberg, the initiator of the Nosocomium Academicum (1708), our first university hospital in Sweden, claimed that 'no-one who does not understand surgery is a completely trained doctor'. However, it was not until the end of 19th century that modern surgery was born. The Academic Hospital was opened in 1867, and at the turn of that century Uppsala had a flourishing period under the...

This thesis discusses the investigation of various aspects of templated self-assembly of block copolymer (BCP) thin films for nanofeature fabrication. Two chapters outline the research of a combined physical and chemical templating method with two BCPs. The method was not effective in templating poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) BCP because of limited template wettability. The...

Professor Karl August Folkers (Figure 1), a biochemist from the United States, was the head of one of the two research groups, one in England and one in the United States. In 1948, the two groups independently and simultaneously reported the isolation of vitamin B12 [1,2]. Most of Folkers’ work was carried out while working at the Merck Company (later Merck Sharp & Dohme) from 1934 to 1963. His...

The laser array waveguide designed and simulated in this thesis is highly mode discriminant and able to take advantage of spatially dispersive high-power pumping sources, such as, semiconductor laser diode arrays. The waveguide measures 5cm x 0.5cm and consists of an array of five 4Am x 4Am single mode Nd +3 doped glass lasers embedded in double cladding to improve total pumping efficiency. The...

It is appropriate to dedicate the first issue of TRANSFUSION to the man who laid the foundations for this field of science. 1961 is the diamond jubilee of the publication of the description of “the so-called Landsteiner reaction” in the Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift (14: 1132, 1901). T h e translation which follows was prepared through the courtesy of Professor A. I,. Kappus, Chairman of the D...
