Abstract: A microfluidic device that comprises a microchannel structure in which there are one, two or more flow paths (101;201a,b;301a,a?,b) all of which comprises a porous bed I (104,204,304) that is common for all of the flow paths and exposes an immobilized reactant R that is capable of interacting with a solute S that passes through the bed. The characteristics are that at least one of the flow paths comprises/comprise a second porous bed II (105,205,305) that is placed upstream of porous bed I (104,204,304) and is dummy with respect to interaction with solute S but capable of interacting with a substance DS that is present in a liquid aliquot together with solute S and is capable of disturbing the result of the interaction between solute S and said immobilized reactant R. There is also disclosed a method utilizing the device and variant of the device in which the immobilized R is replaced with a generic affinity ligand LI and/or porous bed II exposes a generic ligand LII that may be different from LI.

Abstract: A nuclear power plant comprising a casing which encloses a primary space, a reactor vessel arranged in the primary space, and a reactor core provided in the reactor vessel. The plant further comprises an upper space provided above the casing. The reactor core is separated from the upper space by means of an openable cover arrangement. The casing is designed in such a manner that the primary space is completely closed against the environment to at least the level corresponding to the most highly located part of the reactor core. The upper space is arranged to house a volume of a liquid sufficiently large to permit the filling of the primary space with the liquid to a level located above the most highly located part of the reactor core.

Abstract: A new and improved way of continuously cooking fiber material, wherein temperatures and alkaline levels are controlled to be maintained within specific levels in different zones of the digesting process in order to optimize chemical consumption and heat-economy and at the same time achieve very good pulp properties. The digesting process includes a top separator that separates the transport liquid from the fiber material and permits the fiber material to be exposed to the cooking liquid.
