The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a

The modernisation of human civilisation demands sacrifices of other species for work, food, clothing, medical research, space exploration – and human self affirmation. To enable the asymmetrical relations, a hierarchical dualism between Man and Animal has been constructed and is maintained by a mechanism of continual differentiation. My aim in this article is to consider how literary fiction may t
Materials that are stored or used in damp climates may be subject to mould growth. However, all materials are not equally susceptible to mould growth. For each specific material, there is a critical moisture level. If this is exceeded, there is a risk that mould fungi will develop on the material. In a building, different constructions are exposed to different climatic conditions. To minimise the
Chondrules are millimeter sized objects of spherical to irregular shape that constitute the major component of chondritic meteorites that originate in the region between Mars and Jupiter and which fall to Earth. They appear to have solidified rapidly from molten or partially molten drops. The heat source that melted the chondrules remains uncertain. The intense radiation from a gamma-ray burst (GR
Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen diskuterar jag hur materiell kultur förändras när den inlemmas i lokala sammanhang. Diskussionen utgår från gravar, hällristningar och bronsföremål i Sydskandinavien under perioderna senneolitikum och bronsålder, 2350-500 f. Kr.

This project studies a method of image-based fog detection directly from a camera without using the transmissometer. Fog can be detected using transmissometers which could be a very costly approach. This thesis presents an image-based approach for fog detection using Artificial Neural networks. A neural network model will be used to classify images either into two classes, whether it contains fo
Varför är det viktigt att skapa arkitektur med utgångspunkt i kärlek? Vad innebär det att värdera arkitektur utifrån ett icke-mänskligt perspektiv? Och hur kan hemslöjd lära oss att förhålla oss till vår värld med mer omsorg? Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur vi kan visa mer omsorg för och med arkitektur och argumenterar för att care, eller omsorg, behöver integreras som en självklar del i prWhy is it important to create architecture on the basis of love?
