Applications of Ion Beam Methods in Silicide/Si and Silicide/GaAs Nanometre Structures

Ion beam methods are used to analyse material (Ion Beam Analysis, IBA) and to modify the target (Ion Beam Modification of Materials, IBMM). In this thesis, ion beams have been used in various IBA techniques to investigate the surface nanometre structures, and also in an ion beam synthesis (IBS) technique to form thin films and to modify material properties. The work is divided into two main parts:

FPGA implementation of real-time image convolutions with three level of memory hierarchy

In this paper, a customized image convolution processor with three level memory hierarchy is implemented on Xilinx VirtexE FPGAs. Due to its fully pipelined datapath for calculations and streamlined data flow architecture, the processor has the performance close to that of TI highest performance C64x processor at less than 1/8 of the clock frequency with substantial I/O bandwidth reductions.

The cosmic origin of fluorine and sulphur: Infrared spectroscopic studies of red giants

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang, då vårt Universum skapades, bildades i princip endast de två lättaste grundämnena, väte och helium. Alla andra grundämnen har skapats, och skapas fortfarande, i olika typer av stjärnor under olika utvecklingsfaser. Detta betyder att precis alla atomer, förutom väte och helium, som bygger upp alla saker, växter, djur och människor i vår omgivning, har bildatsDisregarding the small primordial traces of the lightest elements, all metals have been formed in stellar processes, which means that the relative amount of metals in the Universe increases for every stellar generation. This build-up of elements is called chemical evolution and might be used both to constrain stellar models as well as understanding the formation and evolution of stellar population

Data Base and Slow Controls System of the DELPHI VSAT and Two-Photon Physics using DELPHI at LEP

This thesis is based on work done 1991-1996 using the DELPHI detector at LEP, and is summarized in four articles. It consists of four main parts. The first part describes the Very Small Angle Tagger (VSAT) and Small angle TIle Calorimeter (STIC), which are sub-detectors of DELPHI. The VSAT consists of four silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter modules, having silicon strip planes for accur

Application of the SASW-technique in geotechnical in-situ testing

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med syftet att utvärdera tillämpbarheten av den ytvågsseismiska tekniken Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW), vilken används för bestämning av skjuvmodulen (Gmax), har fyra olika tillämpningsområden studerats. De fyra områdena har varit lokaler med naturliga jordförhållanden, lokaler där enbart icke-förstörande metoder normalt är möjliga att använda, test av vägbaWith the main aim to test the applicability of the surface wave seismic technique Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW), used for determination of the shear stiffness (shear modulus - Gmax), four areas of applications have been studied. The four areas have been sites with natural geological conditions, sites where non destructive testing is necessary, pavement testing and multichannel testing.

Laser-induced thermal stress and the heat shock response in neural cells

Background The Ho: YAG laser is used extensively in orthopedic surgery. It offers a minimally invasive method of ablating tissue with precision. Previous studies have explored the effects of laser use on temperature during experimental foraminoplasty. To date, there has been limited work on the effects of thermal stress on cells in this context. Material and methods Cells were exposed either to h

The Effect of Emerging Traffic Patterns on High Speed Wireless LANs

As average packet sizes in wireless networks shrink and data rates increase, the fundamental CSMA mechanism in the 802.11 protocol family is put under stress. With the emerg- ing 802.11ax standard, the carrier sensing mechanism is low- ering the efficiency of the protocol to the level of random access (ALOHA), and as future-generation 802.11 standards emerge, CSMA-based protocols will fall below t

Effects of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs on macrophage signal transduction and the induction of proinflammatory cytokines

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ledgångsreumatism (reumatoid artrit) är en allvarlig inflammatorisk led- och systemsjukdom som drabbar ungefär 1% av befolkningen. Den är sannolikt den vanligaste behandlingsbara orsaken till invaliditet i västerlandet. Under de senaste 10 åren har allt fler forskare uppmärksammat sjukdomens dåliga prognos och manat till en tidigare och mera effektiv behandling så snartRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is probably the most common source of treatable disability in the Western world. There are several disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), which have proven to be of therapeutic efficacy in RA, but the lack of a potent, reliable treatment for early RA is a major problem in modern medicine. An obvious line of approach in the quest for better antirheumatic drugs is
