This thesis consists of experimental studies of the electronic of electronic structure of the transition metals Au and Pt, and the transition metal complexes, FeIn, PtLi, and AuLi in silicon. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoconductivity, uniaxial stress- and Zeeman spectroscopy are employed. The excitation spectrum of the FeIn pair in silicon is observed for the first time. Two sets

Although political governance guides education and research, there are options for researchers, educators and curators to act in the spirit of academic freedom. The deontological ethical guidelines stabilize the archaeological establishment no matter what kind of work. The utilitarian dimensions within archaeological research and higher education open up for critical thinking.Twisting and turning,

This chapter focuses on the cognitive and emotional mechanisms of understanding. We propose that understanding consists in seeing or, more generally, experiencing a pattern. Patterns can be experienced by all sensory modalities and in abstract thinking, but here the focus is primarily on the visual modality. We discuss how understanding by experiencing patterns can be achieved in learning process

Abstract in Danish Nytter rollatorer og elkørestole? Mennesker med gangbesvær kan opleve manglende muligheder for at udføre aktiviteter, som er forudsætningen for at leve et godt liv og deltage i samfundslivet på lige fod med andre borgere. Desuden vil nedsat mobilitet føre til inaktivitet, der har helbredsmæssige konsekvenser. Derfor sættes der fra samfundets side ind med rehabilitering, blandt Rollator and powered wheelchair interventions are often applied to make participation possible for citizens with limited walking capacity. However, the research-based knowledge about outcomes is insufficient for societal prioritisation purposes and for quality development of assistive technology within occupational therapy contexts. In this thesis outcomes in terms of user satisfaction, participat

The purpose of this paper has been to show how NMR diffusometry can be used to convey information about structure and dynamics of complex fluids. The information can be obtained without the need to invoke complicated models. In fact, simple reasoning pertaining to how a molecule may diffuse through the studied systems allows one to chose between different conceivable solution structures and to obt

The thickening effect of a hydrophobically modified polymer in an O/W microemulsion is investigated. The hydrophobically modified polymer is a triblock copolymer, alkyl end-capped poly(ethylene glycol) and the microemulsion is based on a non-ionic surfactant, pentaethylene oxide dodecyl ether (C12E5) and decane. The rheological properties vary strongly with microemulsion droplet volume fraction, w

J. Lepowsky and R. L. Wilson initiated the approach to combinatorial Rogers-Ramanujan type identities via the vertex operator constructions of representations of affine Lie algebras. In this approach the first new combinatorial identities were discovered by S. Capparelli through the construction of the level 3 standard $A_2^{(2)}$-modules. We obtained several infinite series of new combinatorial i

In a bid to find ways to improve the use and management of electricity within the Swedish residential market, an investigation is being undertaken with the purpose of finding some of the individual factors of this consumption and what are the possibilities of its control. The electricity users within this study are all connected to their supplier via an automatic one-hour metering system that all
