Purpose: The purpose is to research different co-operations between venue owners and WISPs, when WLAN is deployed in a public space. The aim is to establish viable business models for the interaction between the two vital actors in the public WLAN industry. In this work, the advantages and disadvantages of revenue and cost sharing will be defined, along with technical and commercial issues that ne
Teknologins utveckling har medfört att dagens kunder vill ha det som är enklare, snabbare och tryggare. Som kund på en bank vill man kunna göra sina bankärande vart man än befinner sig. Internetbanktjänster blir allt vanligare men bankkontoren finns fortfarande kvar. De största bankerna på den svenska bankmarknaden satsar stort på Interntbanktjänster men samtidigt väljer några av dem att fortfaran
This essay studies the effect of liquidity on stock returns on the Swedish stock market. Liquidity is addressed both as a market risk factor and an asset characteristics. We use the relative bid-ask spread as a proxy for liquidity level. The aggregate liquidity factor Illiquid-Minus-Liquid is constructed in a similar way to Fama-French SMB and HML factors. Using monthly time-series regressions on
This thesis focuses on the econometric evaluation of Fisher hypothesis. According to Fisher hypothesis there exist a long run equilibrium relationship between nominal interest rate and inflation rate. We analyze the data for Belgium at the different time periods of 1992 to 2000, 2001 to 2009 and 1992 to 2009. Cointegration technique is used to analyze this long run equilibrium relationship. Using
IgG antibodies have one conserved N-glycosylation site at Asn 297 in each of their constant heavy chain regions. These Fc glycans influence the overall structure and pro- or anti-inflammatory effector functions of IgG antibodies. The biantennary core glycan structure, consisting of four N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and three mannose residues, can be further decorated with fucose, a bisecting GlcN
In 2002, the SEC launched enforcement actions against investors involved in PIPE (Private Investments in Public Equity) transactions. We describe the legal ramifications of this enforcement initiative, and document dramatic contemporaneous market-wide changes in the contractual structure of PIPEs. PIPEs in the post-action period included fewer aggressive repricing rights and more trading restricti
This paper presents an analysis of volume average relations in connection with internal energy, net power and the balance of energy in continuum mechanics. The role of the so-called Hill and Hill-Mandel conditions in connection with the averaged energy balance equation has been elucidated. The significance of volume averages of stress moments for the calculation of the average net power is demonst
This introductory article situates the contributions that comprise this special issue within the field of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) studies. After a brief review of the policy history surrounding SCP, we organize our discussion and the subsequent collection of articles into two groups. The first suite of articles views the environmental impacts associated with household consumpt
Abstract The Abbé flap is a procedure where the volume of the upper lip is increased at the expense of the lower lip. This study reviewed the Abbé flaps done at Skåne University Hospital during the years 1991-2006 and identified 14 patients. Data was collected from medical records. Eleven patients were deemed fit for interviews and were called to the hospital by standard mail. Six patients respond
Dug trenches in sediment-cored drumlins on the Småland peneplain, southern Sweden, occurring intermixed with rock-cored drumlins, revealed sedimentary successions and facies suggesting that the core sediments were primarily deposited proglacially, both in glaciolacustrine settings as delta-front and more distal deeper-water sediments, and as glaciofluvial braidplain sediments. From the relationshi
Liberalisation and deregulation of public utility sectors has been introduced in several European countries. In 1994 Swedish municipalities were instructed to reorganise waste collection routines by enlarging the number of fractions to be able to reuse waste fractions in an environmental benign way. The public waste sector have to a considerable extent been diversified and deregulated. At the same
Bacillus subtilis can grow on glycerol or glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) as the sole carbon and energy source. The glpD gene encodes G3P dehydrogenase which is required for the catabolism of glycerol and G3P. In the non-coding leader sequence of glpD there is an inverted repeat followed by a run of AT basepairs which has been shown to function as a Rho-independent terminator (a stem-loop structure fol
