Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a superior method when imaging soft tissue (compared to other medical imaging techniques) is affected by metal implants and will result in a distorted image.

One of the most important topics in financial literature is the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). Recent financial research has questioned this hypothesis, and many authors have reached the conclusion that a contrarian strategy creates abnormal positive returns. In other words a strategy profiting buying losers and selling winners. To explain this market behaviour researchers have come up with a

In the last few years there has been an ongoing debate concerning the methods of assessing the quality of public libraries and their services. This study investigates the opinions and needs of the users at four different public libraries in Malm : the local libraries in Bellevueg rden, Limhamn, and Kirseberg, and the main library in central Malm .

The end of history was announced by Francis Fukuyama as a result of the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Cold War. These happenings were seen as evidence of the victory of democracy and capitalism. Democracy has however not been as triumphant as expected and this is especially true for the developing countries.

This thesis investigates Article 53(b) of the European Patent Convention and has at its core, the reasoning for this Article. It establishes and explains the ideological beginnings of these exceptions to patenting. By focusing primarily on the two landmark cases on the Article, I have tried to draw out where the reasoning for this exclusion has come from and where the exclusion may potentially lea

Background: Models based on using perturbative polarization corrections and mean-field blocking approximation give conflicting results for masses of odd nuclei. Purpose: We systematically investigate the polarization and mean-field models, implemented within self-consistent approaches that use identical interactions and model spaces, to find reasons for the conflicts between them. Methods: For den
