The adsorption and charge transfer dynamics of bi-isonicotinic acid on Au(111)
The interaction of bi-isonicotinic acid (4,4[prime]-dicarboxy-2,2[prime]-bipyridine) with the Au(111) surface has been investigated using electron spectroscopic techniques. Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra show that monolayers of the molecule lie flat to the surface and also reveal that the monolayer is sensitive to the preparation conditions employed. Core level x-ray ph
Diffusive-Ballistic Heat Transport in a Two-Dimensional Square Plate Using Energy Conserving Dissipative Particle Dynamics
Diffusive-ballistic heat transport in a two-dimensional square plate was simulated using energy conserving dissipative particle dynamics (DPDe). The solution domain was considered to be a two-dimensional square plate surrounded by walls at constant temperatures, where DPD particles are uniformly distributed. The effects of phonon mean free path was incorporated by its relation to the cutoff radius
Wave modeling and fault localization for underwater power cables
This paper describes some preliminary results regarding Time-Domain pulse Reflection (TDR) measurements and modeling performed on the Baltic Cable submarine HVDC link between southern Sweden and northern Germany. The measurements were conducted in collaboration between the Linnaeus University, Lund University, Baltic Cable AB and ABB High Voltage Cables AB, and is part of the research project: “Fu
Phenotypic plasticity in two marine snails: constraints superseding life-history
In organisms encountering predictable environments, fixed development is expected, whereas in organisms that cannot predict their future environment, phenotypic plasticity would be optimal to increase local adaptation. To test this prediction we experimentally compared phenotypic plasticity in two rockyshore snail species; Littorina saxatilis releasing miniature snails on the shore, and Littorina

Natural numbers and infinitesimals: a discussion between Benno Kerry and Georg Cantor
During the first months of 1887, while completing the drafts of his Mitteilungen zur Lehre vom Transfiniten, Georg Cantor maintained a continuous correspondence with Benno Kerry. Their exchange essentially concerned two main topics in the philosophy of mathematics, namely, (a) the concept of natural number and (b) the infinitesimals. Cantor's and Kerry's positions turned out to be irreconcilable,
Optical Link by Using Optical Wiring Method for Reducing EMI
A practical optical link system was prepared with a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) for reducing EMI (electromagnetic interference). The optical TRx module consisted of a metal optical bench, a module printed circuit board (PCB), a driver/receiver IC, a VCSEL/PD array, and an optical link block composed of plastic optical fiber (POF). For the optical interconnection between the light-sources an
Identified charged particle spectra and yields in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV.
Analytic prediction of electromagnetic behaviour
The amount of electrical loads and the complexity of the electric system in a vehicle is increasing at the same time as the allowed development time is getting shorter. Possibilities to predict the electromagnetic behaviour is therefore of great importance. In this paper, a method for determining the parasitic components affecting crosstalk in a cable harness is proposed. The method suggests that
Increased perinatal mortality among sub-Saharan immigrants in a city-population in Sweden
The aim of the study was to investigate whether the maternal country of origin affected the risk for perinatal mortality and to determine its relationship to risk factors.

Pheromones
Pheromones are chemical signals, that is, carriers of information between individuals within a species. Pheromones induce a physiological or behavioral response in the receiving individual, and often play a crucial role in mate finding and other interactions among animals. Most pheromone research has been done with insects, and in particular with species regarded as pests. For these, application o

Analysis of Island-Operated Distribution Networks with Distributed Induction Generation under Fault Conditions
This paper presents an analysis of an island-operated distribution network with distributed induction generation under different fault conditions. In the first part, the behavior of an island-operated induction generator connected to a distribution network is presented for short-circuits at different locations in the network, with varying values of fault resistance, initial loading conditions and
DCW-MAC: An energy efficient medium access scheme using duty-cycled low-power wake-up receivers
In this work we present a new low-power medium access scheme for sensor-type networks specifically with low traffic intensity. We call the proposed scheme DCW-MAC where ultra-low-power wake-up receivers are combined with optimal duty-cycled listening. First we introduce a framework for the analysis of energy consumption of the studied network type, then we use it to optimize the MAC scheme to achi
