We present results of ideal epitaxial nucleation and growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires on silicon substrates. This addresses the long-time challenge of integrating high performance III-V semiconductors with mainstream Si technology. Efficient room-temperature generation of light on silicon is demonstrated by the incorporation of double heterostructure segments in such nanowires. We expect th
The purposes of this thesis are to provide a credible picture of the institutional transformation that I allege is taking place in the field of management education in Poland and to widen the field of application of institutional theory by applying it to the field of management education in Poland. In the study I conceptualise management education as an organisation field. The theoretical framewor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Internationellt satsas det inom bioteknologin för närvarande miljardbelopp på utveckling av mikrosystem för avancerad genom- och proteomikforskning. Genomet avser den uppsättning arvsanlag som varje individ har i varje enskild cell och proteomet är den mängd proteiner som finns i varje organism (cell). Den mängd information som döljer sig i genomet och proteomet förThe aim of this thesis project has been to create miniaturized analytical tools that improve sample preparation for the very rapidly growing field of proteomics research. The presented miniaturized analytical tools provide novel and generic analytical solutions, which are highly adaptable for analysis of various low abundant biomolecules. The adaptability and generality of the analytical technolog
The formation of cyclohexene in the hydrogenation of benzene on a ruthenium catalyst has been studied in a slurry reactor. The reaction was performed in an alkaline aqueous phase in a stirred autoclave of stainless steel. The influence of reaction parameters, e.g. hydrogen pressure, alkali concentration, amount of catalyst and temperature was determined. The influence of poisoning of the catalyst
The type material of Physcia magara Kremp., which is the type species of Seirophora Poelt (Teloschistaceae), is shown to be heterogeneous. It is a mixture of Teloschistes villosus (Ach.) Norman and Ramalina maciformis (Delile) Bory. Physcia magara Kremp. is typified on the T. villosus-part. Teloschistes species with multiseriate hairs, spores with short septa, thick and strongly conglutinated cort
The superoxide anion radical is known to be the first product of photosynthetic reduction of oxygen mediated by a variety of electron carriers. The effectiveness of many of these electron carriers as herbicides, and the toxicity of the superoxide they produce, have been suggested to rule out oxygen reduction as a physiological component of normal photosynthesis. Here results with isolated spinach
Kerr rotation and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry measurements were performed on ultrathin (Ga0.95Mn0.05)As layers. The thinner layers (below 250 A) exhibit magnetic properties different than those of thicker ones, associated with different microstructure, and some degree of inhomogeneity. The temperature dependence of the field-cooled magnetization of the layers is record
Let ζ(t), η(t) be continuously differentiable Gaussian processes with mean zero, unit variance, and common covariance function r(t), and such that ζ(t) and η(t) are independent for all t, and consider the movements of a particle with time-varying coordinates (ζ(t), η(t)). The time and location of the exists of the particle across a circle with radius u defines a point process in R3 with its points
We demonstrate storage of electrons in semiconductor nanowires epitaxially grown from Au nanoparticles. The nanowires contain multiple tunnel junctions (MTJs) of InP barriers and InAs quantum dots designed such that the metal seed particles act as storage nodes. By positioning a second nanowire close to the seed particle it is possible to detect tunneling of individual electrons through the MTJ at
Objective The aim of this study was to quantify the global burden of osteoporotic fracture worldwide. Methods The incidence of hip fractures was identified by systematic review and the incidence of osteoporotic fractures was imputed from the incidence of hip fractures in different regions of the world. Excess mortality and disability weights used age- and sex-specific data from Sweden to calculate
The aim of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study was to investigate possible improvement in physical performance at an ambient temperature of -15 degrees C by an inhaled dose of 50 micrograms salmeterol in 8 highly trained nonasthmatic cross-country skiers. FEV1 was measured before, during and after the treadmill exercise protocol, which consisted of a warm-up run, runs of 10 min
Conjugation of penicillin acylase (PA) to poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (polyNIPAM) was studied as a way to prepare a thermosensitive biocatalyst for industrial applications to antibiotic synthesis. Condensation of PA with the copolymer of NIPAM containing active ester groups resulted in higher coupling yields of the enzyme (37%) compared to its chemical modification and copolymerization with the mon
Internal erosion is a major reason for embankment dam failures. Resistivity measurements is an essentially non-destructive technique, which may have the possibility of detecting internal erosion processes and anomalous seepage at an early stage before the safety of the dam is at stake. This paper presents results from part of a dam safety investigation conducted at the Enemossen tailings dam in so
BACKGROUND: Methylation at CpG dinucleotides in genomic DNA is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism of gene expression control in vertebrates. Proteins with a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) can bind to single methylated CpGs and most of them are involved in transcription control. So far, five vertebrate MBD proteins have been described as MBD family members: MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, MBD4 and MECP2. RESULT
The lifetime of the lithium 2p2P states has been measured with high accuracy using the delayed coincidence technique with a continuous mode-locked dye laser as the source of the excitation light. The value 27.22 (0.20) ns was obtained. In addition, the hyperfine structure of the7Li 2p2P3/2 state, which can normally scarcely be resolved, has been studied by recording the slow quantum beats at zero
