Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this
This project consists of literature research and a design proposal. The concluding discussion evaluates the design as well as the hypothesis of the research. Today, buildings often tend to be short-lived and their potential of recyclability are often limited. Throughout the thesis I am striving to understand wood as a building material. In the theoretical section of the essay, wood is presented f
Tillverkning av batterier är en mycket komplex process och det är en process som Saft AB är väl förtrogen med. För att kunna producera det antal batterier Saft AB gör måste de se till att alla led i produktionen håller en viss standard. Detta projekt hade i mål att utveckla ett användarcentrerat, interaktivt verktyg för Saft AB med förmågan att övervaka och analysera data som samlas in av sensorerThe production of batteries is a substantially complex process, and it is a process with which Saft AB is greatly familiarised. In order to produce the number of batteries Saft AB does, they need to ensure that all stages of production adhere to a certain standard. This project’s purpose aimed to develop a user focused, interactive tool for Saft AB with the capability to monitor and analyse the da
ABSTRACT Title: The Good, the Bad and the Rhetor Rhetoric in Management Guru Literature Date of Seminar: June 2nd 2009 Course: BUSM 18 D level – Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Louise Nass, Nichola Jones and Vesna Mirkoska Supervisor: Dr. Peter Svensson Keywords: Management gurus, rhetoric, ethos, pathos, logos, binary, analog, ambiguity tolerance, decision making,
In a globalized world with increasing international trade, it is highly important to accurately determine environmental impacts resulting from pollution embodied in trade. This study examines carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions embodied in international trade of the United Kingdom from a consumption perspective, rather than the more conventional production side, during the period 1995-2009. The analysi
Plasmids are circular DNA molecules found in bacteria. These molecules often contain genes coding for resilience against harmful substances such as antibiotics, in its environment. To be able to classify plasmids fast, and with small samples would be of great gain for medical care, to improve the efficiency of treatments, and to reduce the spread of antibiotics resistance. Our experimental collab
With more than half the world’s population living in ever more economically productive cities, and urbanisation continuing apace, large-scale environmental problems resulting from unsustainable, excessively consumption-focussed life styles are doomed to happen. Meanwhile large amounts of equipment and infrastructure are barely used. The recently emerged Sharing City concept combines the benefits o
To celebrate the research visions and accomplishments of the late Roscoe O. Brady (1923-2016), remembrance commentaries were requested from several of his postdoctoral research fellows and colleagues. These commentaries not only reflect on the accomplishments of Dr. Brady, but they also share some of the backstories and experiences working in the Brady laboratory. They provide insights and perspec
Computer security is still an often neglected field even though the IT industry is huge and still growing. Making sure that systems are secure is something that is very important but can take a lot of man hours. This thesis contains the research and documentation for an auditing tool created on behalf of a company that specialises in computer security, TrueSec. The audit tool uses the log files th
Occasionally the views of medicine and social sciences can collide. Doctors typically relate to a explanatory biological model, and social workers and psychologists seek social and historical reasons for neuropsychological diagnoses. A diagnosis is an obligation for medical doctors as well as other professionals within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and a neuropsychological diagnosis is a prere
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) aims to develop end-of-life product systems and reduce environmental impacts of product across entire life cycle. The empirical study of how EPR programmes have influenced design change is still few especially for complex and durable products such as EEE. Japan introduced EPR programmes in 2001 for four large home appliances (TV sets, air conditioners, refrig
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the preconditions for implementing a sustainable livestock sector in Pakistan during the period (1960-2002). This study examines the economic policies related with production structure, technology and infrastructure available for livestock producers. The production and consumption patterns of meat and milk are analyzed for investment opportunities. The role
For any acquisition to take place the assets to be sold must be valued. Some argue that an asset is worth whatever an acquirer is willing to pay for it at any given time. We believe that there is an underlying value (intrinsic value) that depends on the expected future cash flows of the asset and the risk associated with these cash flows. There exist several methods for estimating this value. Trad
During the last two decades a new administrative level between municipality and national has occurred, most referred as regions. Regions should work as a tool for intergrading and achieve growth in the concept of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental sustainable) in a specific area. In order to attain this and to integrate a whole region, even the areas in the periphery, it
Library assessment and external intelligence is important for tracking and improving library activities. Quality assurance and strategic planning are intricate parts in sustainably developing better and more effective services. Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to join these activities. The process has both bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate st
