We study a design framework for robust, independently verifiable, and workload-balanced distributed algorithms working on a common input. The framework builds on recent noninteractive Merlin--Arthur proofs of batch evaluation of Williams~[31st IEEE Colloquium on Computational Complexity (CCC'16, May 29-June 1, 2016, Tokyo), to appear] with the basic observation that Merlin's magic is not needed fo
We have previously performed empirical valence bond calculations of the kinetic activation barriers, Δ G‡calc, for the deprotonation of complexes between TIM and the whole substrate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP, Kulkarni et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017 , 139 , 10514 - 10525 ). We now extend this work to also study the deprotonation of the substrate pieces glycolaldehyde (GA) and GA·HPi [HPi = pho
The development of human pluripotent stem cells has opened up the possibility to analyse the function of human cells and tissues in animal hosts, thus generating chimeras. Although such lines of research have great potential for both basic and translational science, they also raise unique ethical issues that must be considered.
This chapter investigates the characteristics of a successful voluntary sickness fund in early twentieth-century Sweden. The practices of the Seamstresses Sickness and Burial Fund reveal how a working-class organisation functioned in improving the living conditions of its members. When it was first founded in 1898, it was a small all-female and marginal sickness fund, but by the 1930s it had devel
Utifrån den potentiellt utsatta situation som personer med funktionshinder har i relation till de anställda på boende för stöd och service syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka de anställdas förståelse av sitt uppdrag och dess mål, samt undersöka hur de genom sitt narrativ konstruerar LSS-användaren. Intervjupersonernas förståelse av sitt arbete är främst att stödja och hjälpa LSS-användare, men ytt
Due to globalization, increasing amounts of water are traded across borders as virtual water embodied in traded products. The thesis traces global water trade patterns at different levels of income between 1990 and 2015 in order to test whether developed countries outsource their water-intensive production to less developed countries increasing global water use in the process. The research problem
In this Master’s thesis, two different 28 GHz Doherty power amplifiers (DPAs) are designed, for high power added efficiency (PAE), in the common source (CS) and cascoded topology respectively. The results are analyzed and compared between the two approaches. The DPAs are designed using AWR design environment with virtual source (VS) models of In(Ga)As nanowire transistors and 50 nm gate length. Th
Det nya handboksförslaget granskas med avseende på språk och stil och med avseende på strukturen i gudstjänsten. Flera kritiska synpunkter på språk och stil ges, och placeringen av syndabekännelsen i gudstjänstens inledning liksom placeringen av förbönen mellan predikan och nattvard kritiseras, detta med utgångspunkt från hermeneutiska insikter, och från dramaturgisk analys.
Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Bourke's parrots (Neopsephotus bourkii) are closely related birds with different activity patterns. Budgerigars are strictly diurnal while Bourke's parrots are active in dim twilight. Earlier studies show that the intensity threshold of colour vision is similar in both species while Bourke's parrots have larger eyes with a higher density of rods than budge
Background: Improvement of the process of cellulase production and development of more efficient lignocellulose-degrading enzymes are necessary in order to reduce the cost of enzymes required in the biomass-to-bioethanol process. Results: Lignocellulolytic enzyme complexes were produced by the mutant Trichoderma atroviride TUB F-1663 on three different steam-pretreated lignocellulosic substrates,
A measurement of the total pp cross section at the LHC at root s = 7 TeV is presented. In a special run with high-beta* beam optics, an integrated luminosity of 80 mu b(-1) was accumulated in order to measure the differential elastic cross section as a function of the Mandelstam momentum transfer variable t. The measurement is performed with the ALFA sub-detector of ATLAS. Using a fit to the diffe
