We present the interface between MadGraph5-aMC@NLO, a self-contained program that calculates cross sections up to next-to-leading order accuracy in an automated manner, and APPLgrid, a code that parametrises such cross sections in the form of look-up tables which can be used for the fast computations needed in the context of PDF fits. The main characteristic of this interface, which we dub aMCfast
Housing expenditure is without doubt one of the biggest expenditure posts for all households. By using econometrics to estimate regressions with cross-‐sectional data including more than 1500 individuals, this thesis examines whether there is any individual characteristics that determines how big a share of the disposable income that is spent on housing each month. The results indicate that diffe
The observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe cannot be fully explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. One proposed mechanism to account for this discrepancy is the violation of baryon number B, a process that has yet to be experimentally observed. The HIBEAM/NNBAR project, a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source, aims to find evidence of bar
We regard the classic Thue–Morse diffraction measure as an equilibrium measure for a potential function with a logarithmic singularity over the doubling map. Our focus is on unusually fast scaling of the Birkhoff sums (superlinear) and of the local measure decay (superpolynomial). For several scaling functions, we show that points with this behavior are abundant in the sense of full Hausdorff dime
Fast egendom, i dagligt tal mark, representerar stora sociala och ekonomiska värden för dess innehavare. Samtidigt har samhället i form av stat och kommun alltid haft ett intresse av att kunna ta privat mark i anspråk för gemensamma anläggningar som vägar, el- och telefonledningar och olika former av skyddade områden. För detta betalar samhället ut ersättningar till de berörda fastighetsägarna. Ri
Anhedoni, minskad motivation att uppleva lust, är associerad med förändringar i belöningssystemet. Belägen i ventrala striatum utgör den bilaterala nucleus accumbens (NAcc) den centrala noden i detta nätverk, där dopamin agerar som huvudsaklig excitatorisk neurotransmitter. Studier med funktionell magnetresonanstomografi (fMRI) har visat att aktiviteten i ventrala striatum minskar under belöningsbAnhedonia, reduced motivation to experience pleasure, is associated with alterations in the circuitry of the reward system. Located in the ventral striatum, the bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc) is the central hub of this network where dopamine acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) found that activity in the ventral striatum is de
Föreliggande undersökning syftar till att utvärdera möjligheten att använda bioimpedansspektrometri för att mäta tumör- och vävnadsrespons på strålterapi. Bioimpedansmätningar utförda med CythorLab ™ utrustade med en signalgenerator med en känd högutgångsimpedans och signalmätanordning som kan mäta spänningen som appliceras av generatorn. Styrenheten utlöser signalgeneratorn som genererar en MLS-sThe present investigation aims to evaluate the possibility of using bio-impedance spectrometry to measure tumour and tissue response to radiation therapy. Bio -impedance measurements performed with CythorLab™ equipped with a signal generator with a known high output impedance and signal measuring device able to measure the voltage applied by the generator. The control unit triggers the signal gene
Inbreeding depression may drive the evolution of inbreeding avoidance through dispersal and mate choice. In birds, many species show female-biased dispersal, which is an effective inbreeding avoidance mechanism. In contrast, there is scarce evidence in birds for kin discriminative mate choice, which may, at least partly, reflect difficulties detecting it. First, kin discrimination may be realized
The ability to flexibly plan for events outside of the current sensory scope is at the core of being human and is crucial to our everyday lives and society. Studies on apes have shaped a belief that this ability evolved within the hominid lineage. Corvids, however, have shown evidence of planning their food hoarding, although this has been suggested to reflect a specific caching adaptation rather

Artros, vår vanligaste ledsjukdom, orsakar smärta och funktionsnedsättning och drabbar främst knä, höft och fingerleder. Dagens behandling är fokuserad på smärtlindring, sjukgymnastik och eventuell ledersättning. Vid ledskada och artros bryts broskproteiner ner, och ledskador är en riskfaktor för artros, men mekanismerna som leder fram till artros är till stor del okända. Vi studerar de molekyläraOsteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disease, causes pain and disability and mainly affects the knee, hip and finger joints. Treatment focuses on pain relief, physical therapy and eventually prosthesis. Cartilage proteins are degraded after joint injuries and in OA; joint trauma is a risk factor for OA, but the mechanisms leading to OA are mainly unknown. We study the molecular and structura
In this paper, an inventory model with finite and constant replenishment rate, price dependant demand rate, time value of money and inflation, finite time horizon, lead time and exponential deterioration rate and with the objective of maximizing the present worth of the total system profit is developed. Using a dynamic programming based solution algorithm, the optimal sequence of the cycles can be
