We report on experimental detection of the spin-orbit interaction field in an InAs nanowire double quantum dot device. In the spin blockade regime, leakage current through the double quantum dot is measured and is used to extract the effects of spin-orbit interaction and hyperfine interaction on spin state mixing. At finite magnetic fields, the leakage current arising from the hyperfine interactio
Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to investigate experiences and perceptions of hospital physicians regarding the discharging process, focusing on information transfer regarding medications.Methods: By purposive sampling three focus groups were formed. To facilitate discussions and maintain consistency, a semi-structured interview guide was used. Discussions were audio recorded and transcribed
Forests provide grounds for human well-being through direct material, indirect environmental, and immaterial contributions. Here, we analyze the example of Hispaniola to understand reasons for (un)sustainable forest use. We pursue a dynamic comparative case study of the island's two countries from a political ecology perspective. From the literature, we derive a set of socio-economic hypotheses fo
We report x-ray free electron laser experiments addressing ground-state structural dynamics of the diplatinum anion Pt2POP4 following photoexcitation. The structural dynamics are tracked with <100 fs time resolution by x-ray scattering, utilizing the anisotropic component to suppress contributions from the bulk solvent. The x-ray data exhibit a strong oscillatory component with period 0.28 ps and
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a bone marrow failure syndrome caused by mutations in ribosomal protein genes. Pathogenic mechanisms are poorly understood but involve severely reduced proliferation of erythroid precursors. Because current DBA therapies are ineffective and associated with severe side effects, disease-specific therapies are urgently needed. We hypothesized that druggable molecular
Proliferation, either as the main common denominator in genetic profiles, or in the form of single factors such as Ki67, is recommended for clinical use especially in estrogen receptor-positive (ER) patients. However, due to high costs of genetic profiles and lack of reproducibility for Ki67, studies on other proliferation factors are warranted. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pro
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. The climate is changing dramatically because of human activity and the construction and property sector plays a key role in reducing climate emissions and building a sustainable future. Although the development of climate-smart solutions in the construction and real estate sector has come a long way, the spread of green buildings has encountered
This thesis will examine the World Bank's perspective of Korea during its development under Park Chung Hee, specifically regarding the three five-year plans (1962-1976) that were established during his rule. The 1960s and 70s were when Korea's growth kicked off as it started to industrialise. This thesis aims to examine the World Bank's perspective of these three five-year plans and to
Wetland Management Programme (WMP) inom Mekongsekretariatet har identifierat satellitbildsfjärranalys som ett viktigt verktyg för att undersöka Mekongflodens våtmarker (Petersen R., Petersen L. och Lacoursière 1990). Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna till storskalig markanvändningskartering av That Luang-Salakhamvåtmarken med omgivningar i västra Laos med hjälp av digitala fjärranalysmetoder oThe Wetland Management Programme (WMP) of the Mekong Secretariat has identified satellite remote sensing as being a valuable tool in conducting surveys of Mekong riperian wetlands (Petersen R., Petersen L. and Lacoursière 1990). This study involves evaluating the feasibility of large scale land use mapping of the That Luang-Salakham wetland and surroundings, Lao PDR, using digital satellite remote
Syfte: Det som uppsatsen vill klarlägga är hur företag sätter sina diskonteringsräntor, om det finns korrelation mellan bolagens verkliga resultat och/eller goodwillpostens relativa storlek och om detta beror på opportunistiskt tänkande i bestämmandet av denna ganska väsentliga parameter. Metod: Med syftet som utgångspunkt har en kvantitativ metod valts. Data har samlats in från främst företagensPurpose: The paper sets out to research how companies determine their discount rate, if there’s correlation between companies’ profitability and/or the goodwill relative size and if it therefore can be established if there’s an opportunistic way of thinking when choosing the discount rate. Methodology: With the purpose as a starting point, a quantitative method has been chosen. Data has been gat
The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how the Swedish model for production and distribution of talking books to the print disabled can be designed in the future, on the basis of the self-expressed needs of the users. Three questions were formulated in order to achieve this aim: 1. What needs do the users, according to themselves, have in relation to talking books to achieve equal means of
The older people of tomorrow, today in an age between 50 and 64 years, are a key group at the Swedish housing market. This group are soon becoming one fifth of the Swedish population and the share of retired are going to increase with 22 percent (374 000 persons) among a ten-year period. Their choice of dwelling for the future will have great effects on the housing market. For the older caseload t
Anthropogenic land-use covers a constantly increasing fraction of the terrestrial surface area. By employing a dynamic global vegetation model, human-induced changes in the terrestrial water balance as compared to an undisturbed scenario were simulated. The results suggest that humanity is a main driver of change in the terrestrial water balance in general and green water in particular. Most strik
Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. This study is based on a real mission implemented by a medical international aid organization (MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières) in Cameroon during the recent Ce
In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. The calculation is first performed theoretically, highlighting the expansion of the result into a diagrammatic structure referred to as Witte
The engineers at Westinghouse Electric Company have developed a new nuclear fuel design called TRITON11™, which will be used in Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). This project has been to develop a test program and an assembly fixture for TRITON11™. The test program can not be fully presented in this repport due to confidentiality. The test program is for the first scoping test that will be performed o
This study investigates the relation between preferences and cognitive effort in decision making tasks in a natural setting. Does the way a supermarket’s shelves are organized affect how easy it is to choose what items to purchase? Does it affect the quality of our choice? The eye-movements of participants were recorded during their regular shopping trips in two supermarkets with different shelf
The main purpose of this master thesis is to determine the factors that significantly influence the capital structure decisions in the global renewable energy sector during the period 2005-2013.This study is implemented through a quantitative approach, using a panel data model, in which leverage is the dependent variable, controlled by a set of firm-specific, industry-specific, tax-related and mac
