Self-phase modulation in dispersion compensated optical fibre transmission systems
- 1996

In: Optics Communications. - : Elsevier. - 0030-4018 .- 1873-0310. ; 130:1-3, s. 153-162

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An analysis is made of the influence of self-phase modulation on optical fibre communication systems where the chromatic dispersion is compensated for by a dispersion compensation fibre. In particular we derive a simple and useful expression for the optimal fibre length in the presence of nonlinearities.

Modulational instabilities within the thermal wave model description of high energy charged particle beam dynamics
- 1999
-
In: Physics Letters A. - : Elsevier. - 0375-9601 .- 1873-2429. ; 258:4-6, s. 244-248
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Within the thermal wave model (TWM) description, an investigation was made of the longitudinal instability properties of a coasting high energy charged particle beam, where the interaction between the beam and its surroundings is characterized in terms of a complex impedance. The analysis is shown to correctly reproduce the characteristic features of the coherent instability as obtained previously by conventional techniques based on the Vlasov equation for the beam distribution. The results further validate the TWM approach as a consistent alternative description for analyzing the dynamics of high energy charged particle beams.

Shadow prices for heat generation in time-dependent and dynamic energy systems
- 1994
-
In: Energy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0360-5442 .- 1873-6785. ; 19:12, s. 1205-1211
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Shadow prices for heat generation are used to study the impact of changes in heat demand on the total system cost of an existing district-heating system in Sweden. The energy system may be considered to be both dynamic, because there is energy storage, and time-dependent since the electricity tariff is time-differentiated and the heat demand varies over the year and day. The energy system has been analysed with and without energy storage. The analysis shows that despite a reduction in system cost, the use of energy storage can result in higher shadow prices for heat generation in some time periods.

Vortex dynamics within the BCS theory
- 1997
-
In: Physica. C, Superconductivity. - : Elsevier. - 0921-4534 .- 1873-2143. ; 282-287:Part 1, s. 367-370

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on the BCS theory we outline a conventional path integral derivation of the transverse force and the friction for a vortex in a superconductor. The derivation is valid in both clean and dirty limits at both zero and finite temperatures. The transverse force is found to be precisely as what has been obtained by Ao and Thouless using the Berry's phase method. The friction is essentially the same as the Bardeen and Stephen's result.

Bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation out-of-hospital. A first description of the bystanders and their experiences.
- 1996
-
In: Resuscitation. - : Elsevier Ireland Ltd. - 0300-9572 .- 1873-1570. ; 33:1, s. 3-11
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- At present there are about 1 million trained cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rescuers in Sweden. CPR out-of-hospital is initiated about 2000 times a year in Sweden. However, very little is known about the bystanders' experiences and reactions. The aim of this study was to describe bystander-initiated CPR, the circumstances, the bystander and his experiences. All CPR bystanders in Sweden who reported their resuscitation attempts between 1990 and 1994 were approached with a phone interview and a postal questionnaire, resulting in 742 questionnaires. Bystander-initiated CPR most frequently took place in public places such as the street. The rescuer most frequently had problems with mouth-to-mouth ventilation (20%) and vomiting (18%). More than half (53%) of the rescuers experienced CPR without problems. Ninety-two percent of the bystanders had no hesitation because of fear of contracting the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus. Ninety-three percent of the rescuers regarded their intervention as a mainly positive experience. Of 425 interviewed rescuers, 99.5% were prepared to start CPR again.

Factors surrounding cardiopulmonary resuscitation influencing bystanders' psychological reactions.
- 1998
-
In: Resuscitation. - : Elsevier Ireland Ltd. - 0300-9572 .- 1873-1570. ; 37:1, s. 13-20
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The incidence of Sweden's out-of-hospital cardiac arrests averages 10000 annually. Each year bystanders initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) approximately 2000 times prior to arrival of emergency medical service (EMS). The aim of this study was to identify factors influencing the bystanders psychological reactions to performing CPR. We mailed a questionnaire to all bystanders who reported performing CPR to the CPR Centre of Sweden from autumn 1992 to 1995. The study included 544 bystander reports. Nine factors were found to be associated with bystanders experience in a univariate analysis. Among these were victim outcome (p < 0.0001), CPR duration (p = 0.0009) and their experience of the attitude of the EMS personnel (p = 0.004). In a multivariate logistic regression model, lack of debriefing following the intervention (p = 0.0001) and fatal victim outcome (p = 0.03) were independent predictors of a negative bystander psychological reaction. The importance of having someone to talk to following an intervention and the EMS personnel concern for the rescuer should be emphasised. The goal should be that critical incident debriefing is available to every bystander following his or her CPR attempt.
