Det miljöintresse en individ har är av stor betydelse för om man uppmärksammar information om miljöproblem, i vilken utsträckning den läses, övervägs, integreras med redan vunnen kunskap och hur den bevaras. Ur ett nationellt perspektiv är det miljöintresse befolkningen rapporterar sig ha viktigt för utformningen av åtgärder kring miljöproblem. Det finns inga enkla samband mellan människors milj

Control-Based Operating System Design describes the application of system- and control-theoretical methods to the design of computer operating system components. It argues that computer operating system components should not be first “designed" and then “endowed with control", but rather conceived from the outset as controllers, synthesised and assessed in the system-theoretical world of dynamic m

We use a microscopic Slater-Koster tight-binding model to study the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic metal nanoparticles containing up to 260 atoms. We compute the total energy as a function of the magnetization direction and the ensuing magnetic anisotropy. In an external magnetic field, the ground-state energy as a function of the magnetization orientation is characterized by minima separate

he present research examines the impact of temporal distance on moral concerns in situations where selfish motives clash with altruistic considerations. Drawing upon Construal Level Theory (Trope & Liberman, 2003) which posits that abstract, high-level features of events and social values take on more weight with greater temporal distance, we hypothesized that moral concerns should be higher f

The adsorption of 0.2 monolayers (ML) of Na on Al(100) has been studied both experimentally, using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and high resolution core level spectroscopy (HRCLS), and theoretically, using density functional theory (DFT). Two ordered phases are found: Islands of c (2×2) symmetry with Na atoms occupying four-fold hollow sites result from low temperature deposition and a (

Anomalous background due to charging in the proton-induced X-ray analysis of insulators is eliminated by inserting a heated carbon filament or by raising the pressure in the sample chamber.

The Cone Calorimeter is the most complete reaction-to fire test apparatus available presently. It measures heat release rates and mass loss rate, ignitability properties and smoke and toxic gas production rate. One of the main advantages remains in its wide spread and use. There are, however, some drawbacks in the cone calorimeter that should be noticed and maybe corrected for. The sample size is

Sedan den borgerliga alliansregeringen från januari 2007 förändrade arbetslöshetsförsäkringens finansiering har flera omständigheter medverkat till att avgifterna till a-kassorna blivit alltmer differentierade. Medan samtliga a-kassor från januari 2007 fick en kraftigt höjd medlemsavgift har den tydliga koppling mellan avgift och arbetslöshetsnivå som regeringen införde från juli 2008 tillsammans

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien behandlar den sydsvenske bonadsmålaren Johannes Nilssons måleri. Denne produktive målare levde och verkade i Breareds socken i södra Halland 1757­1827. En analys av hans bonader visar att han i många stycken frångick sina föregångares traditionella, imiterande framställning och begränsade motivkrets. Den övergripande frågan i avhandlingen är: varför målade JohanThe aim of this dissertation is to find relationships between folk art, an artist's personal life and influential factors originating in the context. Christmas wall hangings by the peasant painter Johannes Nilsson (1757­1827) are the focus of the study. The fact that he had a special approach to the painting tradition raises two questions: Why did he paint the way he did? How can his hangings be i

The total transmission bandwidth and component carrier aggregation proposed by LTE-Advanced, sets a new challenge to the design of terminals. This article presents a way to assure terminals cope with the large bandwidth in an efficient manner. Various filtering methods are explored showing that an SDR architecture, such as ADRES (Architecture for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems), is su
