Semiconductor Nanowires are promising building blocks for advanced optoelectronic devices since their small diameter give rise to quantization effects. The small diameter also makes them susceptible to non-radiative recombination due to surface states. A consequence of non-radiative surface recombination is a reduction of a total recombination lifetime. This is in turn limits an internal quantum e
Risk matrices are tables with rows representing consequences, and columns representing frequencies. The risk matrix is considered a simple and convenient tool for visualizing risk. However, it has faced critique from the scientific community. Though risk matrices are extensively applied in practice for visualizing results from coarse risk analyses, there is limited research regarding guidance on i
In 2017 Shenzhen scaled up its policy ambition to be a global sustainable city. However, the innovation- driven and talent-focused urban agenda is undermining the sustainable development of the migrant population. This research used the framework of urban sustainability and social quality theory to determine the characteristics of migrant descendants in urbanisation and their relation to sustainab
This thesis presents a case for the establishment of a human right to financial inclusion under the human rights framework, as well as argues for states to legitimize the right through legal protection in the form of a legislation in order to effectively guarantee the significant benefits of the right for everyone. The rationale for this research is that, despite its immense contribution in human
Abstract Title: The video surveillance industry in the USA - the future development and the technology shift Seminar date: 4/6 - 2010 Course: FEKP01, Degree Project Graduate Level, Business Administration, Graduate Level, 15 University Credit Points (ECTS-cr) Authors: Johan Lindgren and Marc Palm Mentor: Thomas Kalling Key words: Technology shift, Video surveillance industry, Organizational Learni
This report describes the methodology for performing a quantitative risk analysis for a unidirectional road tunnel. By using representative accident scenarios, a basic queue model and performing an evacuation analysis the amount of casualties for each scenario can be estimated. By using the described methodology it gives the decision-makers a good idea of the risk level in the tunnel. The results
The recent events of piracy, especially in the Gulf of Aden raised the concerns of the international community, shipping businesses as well as the marine insurance industries. The drastic increase in piratical incidents and the costs associated with them started a discussion as to the piracy coverage under modern marine insurance policies. Piracy has oscillated through history between being treate
Nynas Petroleum is one of the world´s largest producers of naphthenic specialty oils. They have refineries in several parts of the world and their largest production facility is situated in Nynäshamn, Sweden. They also have oil depots in all continents and their largest depot is located in Antwerp, Belgium. In the beginning of 2007 Nynas introduced a new type of transformer oils, called Nova grade
Today’s marketplace is increasingly growing more competitive as production accelerates and products multiply. Therefore, competing organizations have shifted their focus from solely developing the best product, to building value and competitiveness into the employees. As a result, the concept ‘Employee Engagement’ has received a lot of attention during the 21th century. However there still remain
A Poisson integral formula for a weighted Laplacian in the unit disc Beskrivning: In this paper a counterpart of the classical Poisson integral formula is found for a weighted Laplace differential operator in the unit disc. In the process the corresponding Dirichlet boundary value problem is solved for arbitrary continuous boundary data. The associated power series expansions are calculated and in
We review some recent results on the exact asymptotics of the components in the inhomogeneous random graph models of rank 1. We discuss the relevance of these results to the analysis of random walk on random graphs.
A novel rapid methodology for determining the chemical oxygen demand (COD) based on a thermal sensor with a flow injection analysis system was proposed and experimentally validated. The ability of this sensor to detect and monitor COD was based on the degree of enthalpy increase when sodium hypochlorite reacted with the organic content in water samples. The measurement results were correlated with
The objective of this paper is to analyse the Constructive Dialogue, an initiative for collaborative and integrated urban governance for a sustainable built environment. The dialogue processes, implemented in six Swedish cities in 2004-2009, involved various actors and many types of initiative. Designed as a meta-analysis based on existing evaluations and supplementary interviews, this study exami
The aim was to explore patients' experiences of information and their information needs after discharge for colorectal cancer surgery.
Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper addresses the failure of activation programmes to achieve a rapid return to work when they are directed towards the long-term ill. The empirical basis for the paper is an analysis of the outcomes for 691 individuals in Sweden chosen for a re-activation policy programme to shorten their sick leave and increase their chances of returning to work. The outcome at the
The ambition to be recognized as a 'World City' or 'Global City' is rapidly increasing not the least among cities in the global south such as Hyderabad in India and Johannesburg in South Africa. While such a status seems promising for attracting foreign capital and for expanding the economic potential of urban areas, it may have adverse impacts on the hinterland and contribute to growing urban ine
