The formation of a capillary phase in segregating mixed polymer solutions confined between two planar walls is modeled by using a lattice mean-field theory for flexible polymers in solution. A capillary-induced phase separation (CIPS) may appear in systems where the two polymer components display different preference for the wall, the preference being either of energetic or entropic origin. A long

An account of the importance of the photographic documentation of the Nazi concentration camps for the reaction to and understanding of Nazism and the Holocaust.

Patterns in the interaction of cationic surfactants with nonionic polymer gels, which were inferred from a recent study from our laboratory, are confirmed by measurements of a series of alkylammonium surfactants with different counterions with a series of alkyl acrylamide gels of increasing hydrophobicity. Two swelling patterns were observed: Either the swelling continued above the surfactant crit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens bidrag ligger inom området för Markov regimskiftesmodeller i tidsserieanalys. Den består av fem separata uppsatser som specifikt undersöker två statistiska frågeställningar, samt applicerar metodologin på fyra olika makroekonomiska områden. De två huvudsakliga statistiska bidragen rör (i) utvecklandet av ett flexibelt test baserat på simulering för att utrThis dissertation studies statistical properties and applications of the Markov switching models for economic time series in five separate papers. The two main statistical themes are (i) the task of choosing the number of states to use in the model, and (ii) inference on time-varying transition probabilities. Our empirical applications span a wide array of topics in international finance and macro

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är en ny edition med en parallell engelsk översättning av åtta grekiska berättelser relaterade till ökenfadern Daniel från Sketis: 1) Abba Daniel från Sketis; 2) Abba Marcus, den helige dåren; 3) Den blinde mannen; 4AB) En helig och kysk ung kvinna; 5) Kvinnan som låtsades vara en drinkerska; 6) Eulogios Stenhuggaren; 7) Andronikos Penningväxlaren och hans This volume is a new edition with a parallel English translation of eight Greek stories related to Daniel of Sketis: 1) Abba Daniel from Sketis; 2) Abba Mark the Fool; 3) The blind man; 4AB) A holy and chaste young woman; 5) The woman who pretended to be a drunkard; 6) Eulogios the Stone-cutter; 7) Andronikos the Money-dealer and his wife Athanasia; 8) Anastasia Patrikia. The stories deal with se

This paper describes the development of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for emulating an analog joystick using an inductive tongue-computer interface. The principle of operation of the interface and the inductive sensors signals are described. The FIS receives sensor signals and output the Cartesian position of the virtual joystick, which can be used to control the mouse pointer in a personal compu

The popular image of archaeology and what archaeologists do is based on various clichés which emphasise, among other things, adventurous fieldwork, the discovery of treasures and historical detective work. Although archaeologists may see themselves differently, their image in popular culture reveals a lot about how the subject is perceived and why it is so widely appreciated at present. I suggest
