Group III-V semiconductor nanowires are a material platform with potential applications in electronics,photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices. One of the central challenges in the growth of III-V semiconductornanowires is to understand the dynamic processes that occur during crystallization. However, the growth of thesematerials is commonly performed in closed systems. There the details of the g

Biopharmaceuticals, of which monoclonal antibodies are a mainstay, have revolutionized healthcare by enabling treatments with high precision and efficacy. However, their established manufacturing processes, particularly the downstream process, are complex, resource-intensive, and expensive, limiting global access to these drugs. This thesis examines how a more efficient, sustainable, and thus less

This thesis investigates few-body quantum rings, particularly in the study of ultracold bosonic gases and nanowire quantum dots. These systems are investigated numerically using exact diagonalization methods. This dissertation contains five chapters which develop numerical and theoretical background for understanding the few-body calculations and analysis contained in the four included papers: Pap

In this dissertation I examine the main scaling challenges in autonomous driving development, discussing recent advances in the field while contributing specific solutions to key bottlenecks. The first challenge is the reliance on human labor, particularly for annotations. Here we make two key contributions: new techniques to extract additional value from existing annotations through future predic

The archaic witch Circe from Greek mythology has been an enduring figure in history in Western literature and English-speaking cultures. The character has undergone multiple adaptations and is seemingly restricted to the archetype of a villainous femme fatale, symbolising the threat of wilderness and female sexuality. In Miller's novel Circe (2018), the character undergoes another transformati

Among several methods used to obtain ultra-high vacuum (UHV) for particles accelerators chambers, it stands out the internal coating with metallic films capable of absorbing gases, called NEG (non-evaporable getter). Usually these materials are constituted by elements of great chemical reactivity and solubility (such as Ti, Zr, and V), at room temperature for oxygen and other gases typically found

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal disease are among the leading causes of disability in middle-aged and older people. Health and lifestyle factors in youth have known associations with cardiovascular or respiratory disease in adulthood, but largely unknown associations with musculoskeletal disease.METHODS AND FINDINGS: We included approximately 40,000 18-year-old Swedish

The installation of a second RF cavity in the UVX electron storage ring at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) at the end of 2003 brought about longitudinal instabilities driven by one of the HOMs of the new cavity. Even though the operational difficulties related to these unstable modes were successfully overcome by means of a combination of cavity tuning (using temperature and plun

We describe recent efforts made at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS) to improve beam orbit stability. The main driving force is the high positional stability required by some specific experiments and particularly by a high resolution undulator beamline which is being built at LNLS. Recent steps taken to improve orbit stability include the development of x-ray BPMs to measure the vertic

At the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN-LNS) the commissioning of the high intensity Proton Source for the European Spallation Source (PS-ESS) started some weeks ago. Beam stability at high current intensity is one of the most important parameter for the first steps of the ongoing commissioning. Commissioning plan and preliminary characterization are also

Contrary to the dominant perception of transnational adoption as an act of goodness, an increasing number of Korean adult adoptees in Denmark have raised critical voices about the political economy of transnational adoption since the mid-2000s. They have participated in the adoption debate not just as individuals, but through collective critiques and mobilisation. This article looks at the develop

This article contributes to research on the connection between China’s experimental model policymaking processes and the “Belt and Road” Initiative’s (BRI) external implementation by examining the discursive use of the “Shekou Model” in Hambantota International Port (HIP) in Sri Lanka. Through narrative analysis of statements from actors on the Chinese and Sri Lankan sides, this article outlines h
