In this paper the first resonant photoemission and partial electron yield studies of free clusters are presented. The resonant photoemission spectra of free argon clusters have been recorded with excitation energies determined from the cluster X-ray absorption spectrum near the Ar 2p ionization threshold. The decay of 2p(-1)4s and 2p(-1)3d cluster surface and "bulk" excited states has been investi
Libraries of things (LoTs) have potential to create positive environmental and social impact. However, not enough is known about their social impact, especially as LoTs scale. This thesis studies the case of Circle Centre (CC), a LoT in Lund, Sweden and analyzes the social impact of LoTs through interviews and a survey. After understanding the social impact, participants in a participatory qualita
BACKGROUND:: The extent of surgical resection for malignant laryngeal lesions influences voice quality. An instrument to estimate histopathologic grading of dysplasia in vivo may spare normal tissue without increasing the risk of local failure. METHODS: Laryngeal lesions (N = 39; 21 after administration of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)) were investigated with laser-induced fluorescence, and the
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a redox sibling of nitric oxide (NO) that targets distinct signalling pathways with pharmacological endpoints of high significance in the treatment of heart failure. Beneficial HNO effects depend, in part, on its ability to release calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) through an unidentified mechanism. Here we propose that HNO is generated as a result of the reaction of the two
The drastic changes in infrastructure and arrival of luxury tourism to South Sinai has brought the global world at the doorstep of the region’s nomadic bedouins. The ever-expanding global influence has given birth to a generation of young bedouin women who absorb the surrounding new ideals, behaviors and understandings, blending them with their tribal culture. This has created identity hybridities
Semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive as channel material for field-effect transistors due to their high carrier mobility. In this paper we show that a local CNT gate can provide a significant improvement in the subthreshold slope of a CNT transistor compared to back gate switching and provide gate delays as low as 5 ps. The CNT gated CNT transistor devices are fabricated using a t
We present a parton shower which implements the DGLAP evolution of parton densities and fragmentation functions at next-to-leading order precision up to effects stemming from local four-momentum conservation. The Monte-Carlo simulation is based on including next-to-leading order collinear splitting functions in an existing parton shower and combining their soft enhanced contributions with the corr
Gambella is one of the regional states in Ethiopia where huge tracts of land have been leased out to domestic and international investors since the global food, fuel and financial crisis of 2007/2008. The Gambella region is also one of the most marginalized regions in Ethiopia. It has been alienated from the central politics and socio-economic activities of the state. In the past, the Gambella reg
The paper suggests conditions for presence of quadratic Lyapunov functions for nonlinear observer based feedback systems with an 'input nonlinearity' in the feedback path. Provided that the system using state feedback satisfies the Circle Criterion (i.e., when all states can be measured), we show that the extended system with only output feedback control from a (full state) Luenberger-type observe
We investigate the effects of offshoring on job security using matched employer-employee data from Sweden. Between 1997 and 2011, the share of offshoring firms fell from around 25 to 22% while offshoring per worker within offshoring firms almost doubled. We use this variation to contribute to the literature by examining the effects of the neighboring firms’ offshoring (external offshoring) on job
This chapter presents and discuss a platform for small-scale drug candidate production, process development and performance studies of integrated continuous downstream processes. The main idea of the platform methodology is to use common available equipment and reconfigure them for advanced downstream processing. Five different industrial case studies are discussed. The resulting processes are aut
Preparing travel time data can be a time-consuming process, which greatly limits the flexibility of transport simulation models. In the current paper, we present an approach to integrate a routing engine locally in an existing modeling framework, hence enabling to dynamically calculate travel times in the constructed emergency medical services (EMS) simulation models. This integration eliminates t

Spin relaxation theory and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in amphiphilic liquid crystals are presented. Group theory is used to determine the information content and the orientation dependence in spin relaxation experiments, and to investigate the combined effect of crystal and local symmetries and the effect of symmetry on multiple timescales. From lineshapes of a deuterated decanol and
This study conducted the global sensitivity analysis of the APSIM-Oryza rice growth model under eight climate conditions and two CO2 levels using the extended Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test method. Two output variables (i.e. total aboveground dry matter WAGT and dry weight of storage organs WSO) and twenty parameters were analyzed. The ±30% and ±50% perturbations of base values were used as th
We consider a stochastic version of the proximal point algorithm for convex optimization problems posed on a Hilbert space. A typical application of this is supervised learning. While the method is not new, it has not been extensively analyzed in this form. Indeed, most related results are confined to the finite-dimensional setting, where error bounds could depend on the dimension of the space. On
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
Virtually from Lund Observatory, March and April 2021 Scientific motivation The characterization of stellar properties is crucial to studies of Galactic archaeology, exoplanets, and stellar structure and evolution. To ensure the success of these science pillars, a well-established and well-understood set of reference stars is needed. Current and future large surveys of the Milky Way are set to det
