New cross sections for the reaction ep→epη are reported for total center of mass energy W=1.5–1.86GeV and invariant momentum transfer Q2=0.25–1.5(GeV/c)2. This large kinematic range allows extraction of important new information about response functions, photocouplings, and ηN coupling strengths of baryon resonances. Newly observed structure at W∼1.65GeV is shown to come from interference between

INDEPENDENCE DAY is a furious and poetic performance that dissolves, destroys and liberates the theatre and the music, the chronology and the linear narratives, letting the world unfold by carefully cutting it apart without putting it together again. October 9, 2002: Aileen Wuornos’s last words before her execution: I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock, and I'll be back like Independence

Recent research has emphasised the role of trade in productivity growth. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate how regional integration, and the different treatment of member and non-member imports, affects the relation between imports and productivity growth. We focus on the European Union and find intra-union imports to have more of an effect on total factor productivity growth than

Pilgrimage is an important element of Christianity right from the start, being rooted in the Jewish religion. Pilgrimage to sites in the Holy Land develops strongly in the fourth century as the sites are made accessible and are adorned with sanctuaries by the Emperor. The Cross of Christ becomes an important object of devotion to pilgrims, but the story of its discovery is considered by many schol

Background The complex carbohydrate composition of natural and refined plant material is not known in detail but a matter that is of both basic and applied importance. Qualitative assessment of complex samples like plant and wood tissues requires the availability of a range of specific probes. Monoclonal antibodies and naturally existing carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) have been used in the pa

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a cholesterol transporter and an immunomodulator, is brain protective after experimental stroke and implicated in brain repair. Here, we study the involvement of ApoE in the restoration of brain function after experimental stroke, by using animal housing conditions that differentially improve recovery after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). We found

The Aslian language family, located in the Malay Peninsula and southern Thai Isthmus, consists of four distinct branches comprising some 18 languages. These languages predate the now dominant Malay and Thai. The speakers of Aslian languages exhibit some of the highest degree of phylogenetic and societal diversity present in Mainland Southeast Asia today, among them a foraging tradition particularl

The strict orthology of mitochondrial (mt) coding sequences has promoted their use in phylogenetic analyses at different levels. Here we present the results of a mitogenomic study (i.e., analysis based on the set of protein-coding genes from complete mt genomes) of 60 mammalian species. This number includes 11 new mt genomes. The sampling comprises all but one of the traditional eutherian orders.

The physical and biological mechanisms that extend the equilibrium domain of liquid water into the ice region of the bulk phase diagram are examined in view of their importance for the enhancement of planetary habitability. The physical phenomena studied are the premelting of ice, which allows for films of liquid water at temperatures well below freezing, and the wetting of hygroscopic salts with

Bakgrund och problemformulering: Omvärlden påverkas ständigt av förändringar i form av exempelvis trender och teknologiska utvecklingar som sker i snabbare takt. Det har därför blivit allt viktigare för företag att kunna analysera och förutspå sin omgivning för att bättre förstå i vilken riktning den rör sig i. Detta arbete studerar tillvägagångssättet vid omvärldsanalys inom svensk livsmedelsinduBackground and problem: The environment is constantly affected by changes in forms of trends and technological developments. It has therefore become increasingly important for companies to be able to analyze and predict their environment to better understand in which direction it will go in the future. This thesis paper studies the process of Business Intelligence within the Swedish food industry

The purpose of this thesis is to position the physical and independent bookshop in the digital era, claiming that they do have a strong place there. The rationale of viewing the bookshop as a space in which an experience can be had, intends to give independent bookshops a guide on how to remain as such. I focused on an English language bookshop in Istanbul, Turkey and conducted fieldwork for 3 mon

This paper presents an exploratory case study of the factors that explain the emergence and growth of social finance in the UK. Social finance refers to an array of activities that address societal issues using finance tools and logic. The practice of social finance manifests itself in the investment in social organisations and enterprises. Investments in social finance, ultimately aim to generate

This study analyzes the personal identification process that takes place in the actual meeting of a job coach and a job seeker, with the purpose of making the job seeker employable. The empirical data consists of observations during nine job coach meetings, and interviews with four job coaches. The analysis is based on a social constructionist perspective. The findings point to contradictions in t

“A dagger through the skull and nothing to the wallet“ is a common expression for the situation in the squatter societies of Rio de Janeiro. It is used equally amongst the residents of the slums or “favelas” as they are called, as well as used by the recently implemented pacifying police force that work there. In Rio de Janeiro there are 17 murders committed everyday. The majority of those murders
