Utveckling och testning av reaktorer för katalysmätningar Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Men detta är långt ifrån det enda användningsområdet. Katalysatorer är också delaktiga i tillverkningen av uppemot 90% av alla kemikalier. Industriella katalysaIn this project four reactors for studies of heterogeneous catalysis have been developed. They were tested using case studies, especially concerning methane oxidation over palladium. The test measurements showed that the reactors work or would work very well after slight modifications. The first reactor allowed for activity measurement using mass spectrometry for temperatures up to at least 1000°C

As the spread of the internet continues, more people than ever search for medical information online when in need of health advice.

In this thesis, the main focus of study has been the construction of violence in correlation with men using violence and violence being used against men. With a qualitative reasearch method, six interviews with six seperate employees at the Crisis Center have been conducted. The Crisis Center is a treatment center where therapy is given to men, women, teens, and children that have experienced phys

In January 2011, Marine Le Pen was elected the new president of the French right populist political party Front National (“National Front”), a role she took over from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had been the president since the creation of the party in 1972. To deal with the somewhat dubious past of Front National, and in order to make it more commonly accepted in the political sphere, Mari

I denna uppsats undersöks undertextning av matlagningsprogram. Undertextning är på många sätt en begränsad form av översättning, och uppsatsen undersöker hur begränsningarna påverkar innehållet i matlagningsprogram, samt om det går att utläsa några normer i undertextningen av dessa. Materialet består av transkriberat engelskt tal och svenska undertexter från tre olika brittiska matlagningsprogram

Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu

The debate about the link between economic growth and foreign trade is still open amongst scholars. There exist four main hypotheses regarding the relation between imports, exports and economic growth. The first one states that growth can come only through increasing the volume of exports of the country, i.e. export – led – growth hypothesis. The second one (growth – led – exports hypothesis)

Popular science Carbon cycle has great importance in all time scales for its inter-connected relation and response with climate system. Increased anthropogenic emission of CO2 is alleged to impact the climate system in the future, which will affect the feedback between carbon cycle and climate change. In this project, a climate-carbon cycle feedback analysis has been conducted by using long simula

I 23 kap. 6 § 1 st. BrB stadgas straffansvar för den som underlåter att i tid avslöja ett förestående eller pågående brott. Skyldigheten att avslöja brott gäller vissa utvalda allvarliga brott, som exempelvis mord, mordbrand och våldtäkt. Bestämmelsen används sällan i rättspraxis och det saknas för närvarande något prejudicerande avgörande gällande hur underlåtenhet att avslöja brott ska tillämpasFailure to reveal a crime is criminalized in Chapter 23, Section 6, first paragraph of The Swedish Penal Code. The obligation to reveal a crime does only apply to a few serious crimes, such as murder, arson and rape. Currently, a valid precedent from the supreme court regarding the interpretation of the provision does not exist. The provision is rarely applied by the courts of law. A possible expl

Marknadsmissbruksrättslig reglering förbjuder personer att olagligen röja insiderinformation till en eller flera andra personer. Det finns emellertid fall då det är legitimt att röja insiderinformation. Röjande får ske som ett normalt led i fullgörande av tjänst, verksamhet eller åligganden.

In digital integrated circuits, memories are often a limiter for main performance, power and area. Over the past decade, integrated memories have gained dominance in terms of area and power cost. In applications like machine learning or image processing the area share can be above 80% consuming more than 50% of the total power budget. On-chip memories in CMOS technologies can be categorized as sta

This paper discusses primarily the schism between the European Commission and Berlin around the controversial pipeline Nord Stream II. The paper both analyses German and the European Union’s argument about Natural Gas in a somewhat general sense and in respect to Russia in particular. The paper also tries to bring clarity into why Europe is so indecisive when it comes to energy policies and argues

We develop methods for estimation, inference and optimization of causal effects from observational data with continuous treatments. We present a counterfactual prediction method based on the potential outcomes framework that estimates the expected value of a potential outcome given a treatment level and confounders. We show that the method identifies the average generalized treatment effect (AGTE)

Recording of medical procedures makes it possible for medical staff to review their work, learn from the mistakes and produce material for education. Medical videos tend to be long, which has an impact on usability and raises issues concerning memory storage. The aim of this master thesis is to make the material more user-friendly with an intelligent toolbox based on machine learning and image an

I den vetenskapliga artikeln ”The Lady Doth Proteset too Much: Kosovo and the turn of Ethics in international law”, presenterar Martti Koskenniemi en teori, gällande hur den internationella juristen använder moral som ett argument för att legitimera humanitära interventioner. Faran i detta blir enligt Koskenniemi att stater som redan besitter makt och militära resurser kommer använda lagen som ett

Several governments recently adopted strategies to facilitate the development of artificial intelligence (AI), one of the reasons being the pursuit of sustainability – a claim with little scientific grounding so far. In this thesis, I strived to outline the scope of AI’s potentials by showing i) the limits of its theoretical and practical usefulness and ii) the political barriers to using it for s
