I många kurser anlitas gästföreläsare. Är de värda vad de kostar? Föreläser exempelvis alltid en inbjuden professor på den professorsnivå hon/han får betalt för? Vi anlitar även gästföreläsare från näringslivet för att höja trovärdigheten och kvalitén på våra kurser, men hur väl gör de egentligen detta? Dessa frågor har väkts hos oss under de år vissa av oss kontinuerligt betalat ut arvoden för un
The latest long-term plan for science and technology reflects China’s determination both to overcome growing domestic social and environmental problems through technology and to become a world leader in innovation.

The 2008–2009 global financial crisis triggered ‘Green Energy Economy’ (GEE) policy packages to stimulate green growth in many countries. China soon became a leader and, supported by its 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–2010), devoted approximately one-third of its US$ 647 billion stimulus package to green energy technologies.

This thesis introduces a new deformation scheme for Lie algebras, which we refer to as ?quasi-deformations? to clearly distinguish it from the classical Grothendieck-Schlessinger and Gers-tenhaber deformation schemes. The main difference is that quasi-deformations are not in gene-ral category-preserving, i.e., quasi-deforming a Lie algebra gives an object in the larger catego-ry of ?quasi-Lie alge
