This thesis analyzes the electrical properties of InAs nano-structures, that are integrated into different materials and geometries. The thesis describes integration related issues of InAs, the epitaxial synthesis of the InAs nano-structures and summarizes experimental techniques for analysis of electrical properties of the integrated structures. InAs thin films, nanowires and membranes are invest

Objective. To examine the appropriateness and necessity of colonoscopy across Europe. Design. Prospective observational study. Setting. A total of 21 gastrointestinal centers from 11 countries. Participants. Consecutive patients referred for colonoscopy at each center. Intervention. Appropriateness criteria developed by the European Panel on the Appropriateness of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, u

Socioeconomic related health inequality as measured by a bivariate rank dependent index, of which the concentration index is a leading example, is well documented across a wide number of countries and measures. To decompose an inequality index is to ascertain the potential causes of this measured inequality. Current available regression based decomposition methods applicable to bivariate rank depe

This chapter provides a synthesis of three earlier published studies (Garmy et al. 2012a; Garmy et al. 2012b; Garmy et al. 2013) (survey I) as well as previously unpublished results from a survey conducted in 2013 among students aged 16 (survey II). Objective: The aim was to investigate the effects of sleep, television use and texting and computer habits on overweight, enjoyment of school and fee

Ett personnamn kan på olika sätt skyddas mot utnyttjande i kommersiella sammanhang. I svensk rätt finns, genom lagen om namn och bild i reklam, ett grundläggande skydd mot att näringsidkare utnyttjar annans personnamn i marknadsföring. Ändå väljer somliga att dessutom varumärkesskydda sitt namn enligt reglerna i VML. I denna uppsats redogörs för hur varumärkesskyddet skiljer sig från skyddet i lagThere are several ways to protect a personal name against exploitation in commercial contexts. Swedish law provides, through Act (1978:800) on Names and Images in Advertising (“the Names Act”) fundamental protection against tradesmen´s use of another person´s name in marketing. Nevertheless, some people choose to protect their names as trademarks, in accordance with regulations found in the Swedis

III-V nanowires (NWs) are promising for a wide range of applications, ranging from optics to electronics, energy, and biological sensing. The structural quality of NWs is of paramount importance for the performance of such future NW-based devices. Random structural defects and polytypism occur naturally in semiconductor NWs, but progress both on the theoretical understanding and experimental contr

We previously reported a disease segregating causal germline mutation in a melanoma family and recurrent somatic mutations in metastasized tumours from unrelated patients in the core promoter region of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene. Here we show that the TERT promoter mutations, besides causing an increased gene expression, associate with increased patient age, increased Breslow

Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka möjligheter det finns att ingå ett avtal trots parts passivitet. Begreppet passivitet används i betydelsen underlåtenhet att agera när part, under en process till synes syftande till att avtal ska ingås, normalt kan förväntas agera genom en positiv viljeförklaring, ett nekande eller ett förtydligande. Innan passivitetsfrågan behandlas närmare presenteras den The purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibilities of entering into a binding agreement despite the passivity of one of the parties. The term passivity is used to denote the lack of action when a party, during a process with the apparent aim of entering into an agreement, typically can be expected to act through a declaration of intent, a refusal or a clarification. Before a closer en

Sedan 2001 har EU-domstolen vid upprepade tillfällen framhållit att var och en som har lidit skada som orsakats av en överträdelse av EU:s konkurrensregler ska kunna kräva full ersättning för denna skada. Det har dock visat sig svårt för personer och företag som drabbats av en konkurrensskada att utnyttja denna EU-rättsliga rätt till ersättning. I syfte att främja skadeståndsprocesser baserade på Since 2001 the CJEU has repeatedly stated that, as a matter of EU law, any individual must be able to obtain compensation for harm suffered because of an infringement of EU competition law. As of today, victims of infringements of EU competition law are unable to effectively exercise that EU right. By introducing a Proposal for Directive, the Commission has taken a major step forward in promoting

In this work, the effects of Si doping in GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown on GaAs (111)B by molecular beam epitaxy with different Si doping levels (nominal free carrier concentrations of 1 × 1016, 8 × 1016, 1 × 1018 and 5 × 1018 cm-3) are deeply investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GID), photoluminescence (PL

We introduce a fabrication method for gate-all-around nanowire field-effect transistors. Single nanowires were aligned perpendicular to underlying bottom gates using a resist-trench alignment technique. Top gates were then defined aligned to the bottom gates to form gate-all-around structures. This approach overcomes significant limitations in minimal obtainable gate length and gate-length control

Utilizing Sb-based bulk epilayers on large-scale low-cost substrates such as GaAs for fabricating infrared (IR) photodetectors is presently attracting significant attention worldwide. For this study, three sample series of GaAsxSb1−x, In1−xGaxSb, and InAsxSb1−x with different compositions were grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates by using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and appropriate InAs quant
