We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix element generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW scheme and one based on the so-called MLM scheme using different matrix element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are o

Traffic characterization is of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of modem telecommunication networks. In this paper, the microdynamics of some sets of traffic are investigated. The approach we use to study the microdynamics is Poissonification, which is away of transforming a point process into a Poisson process locally. We want to gain basic knowledge of how the traffic behaves on

The anisotropy of water diffusion in brain tissue is affected by both disease and development. This change can be detected using diffusion MRI and is often quantified by the fractional anisotropy (FA) derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Although FA is sensitive to anisotropic cell structures, such as axons, it is also sensitive to their orientation dispersion. This is a major limitation t

Even though recent studies suggest that a high intake of heme iron is associated with several types of cancer, epidemiological studies in relation to gastric cancer (GC) are lacking. Our previous results show a positive association between red and processed meat and non cardia gastric cancer, especially in Helicobacter pylori infected subjects. The aim of the study is to investigate the associatio

This paper is based on outcomes from SID (http://sid.desiign.org), a three-year project where twenty-four children with profound intellectual disabilities visited three MSE centres. SID's aim was to develop and demonstrate the potentials of interactive design in and for MSE practices together with the children and the pedagogical staff. In the project, we developed artefacts that were designed to

This paper attempts to address the failings of a predominant paradigm in IS research and practice that emphasises technological determinism. This paradigm makes use of a false belief in the power of rationality in organizational decision-making, and a mythology in which organizational actors can be viewed as passive ‘users’ of technology. We wish to create a discussion of the nature and role of pr

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training on the in vivo tibial structural strength during the development of post-ovariectomy osteoporosis. Seventeen mature Wistar rats (215 g) were ovariectomized and randomized into two groups. The sedentary control group was kept cage confined, while 3 days postoperatively the trained group started treadmill running with high intensity for

The study shows how core values affect the innovation process by creating an innovation culture. Core values also create an alignment which leads to conformity and lack of new ideas. Demonstrated is also that core values function as high impact areas of innovation, meaning that employees are encouraged to generate ideas within the fields of core values. Core values are also proved to be used as a

Bangladesh became an independent country in 1971 and enforced a democratic governance system in 1991. The country has been witnessing a fairly steady economic and social growth processes during the past two decades. However, the political system in the country has not been seeing the same type of development. During four out of eight years in the time period 2001-08 Bangladesh was considered to be

Problem Definition: The Swedish foresight division, SFD, of Bramble AB is charged with developing concepts for new products and innovations. At the time, this process is generally disjointed from external input from customers about the needs of the target group. Ideas are generated based on hypotheses, proposed by the employees at SFD, after which concepts are developed and tested internally. Howe

From literature review a theoretical research model was developed describing the process for designing a performance measurement system fit for the company culture, strategic direction, and stakeholder perspective. Following the model, the definition of high performance for the department was investigated and success factors were formulated from interview results. These success factors were accord

Purpose: This study aims to examine changes in the acquired company’s MCS post-M&A and how the employees perceive this change. Further, the purpose is to investigate how employees' perceptions affect the employees’ motivation and identity. Methodology: This study follows a qualitative research approach by analyzing an acquired company in the logistic industry. Data was collected through s

This paper investigates how do venture builders manage the process of developing venture opportunities in collaboration with corporates. This research followed a qualitative approach using a cross-sectional study design. Ten semi-structured interviews with employees from four different venture builder organizations are the primary data source. The data is inductively analyzed using Gioia, Corley,

Since Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is expected to have the potential of bringing substantial benefits to many of today’s businesses, RPA initiatives are taking an increasingly bigger role in various organizations. Previous research has identified a lack of guidelines in successfully adopting RPA. This deficit includes, but is not limited to a knowledge gap in the adoption of RPA by IT service

I ett allt mer digitaliserat samhälle, så är omställningen påtaglig även inom läkemedelsindustrin. Kontrollsystemet Orbit utvecklades vid Lunds Universitets avdelning för kemiteknik, för att möjliggöra automatisering av nedströmsprocesser baserade på ÄKTA-system. Kontrollsystemet har en inbyggd simulator, som tillåter en användare att genomföra simulerade experiment istället för fysiska. Målet medIn an ever more digitilized society, the transition is palpable also in the pharmaceutical industry. The control system Orbit was developed at the department of chemical engineering at Lund University, to be able to automate downstream processes based on the ÄKTA-system. The control system has a built-in simulator, enabling the user to run simulated experiments instead of actual physical experimen
