Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown using catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy were used as scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes. The probes were prepared by placing a GaN nanowire on a tungsten STM probe using a nanomanipulator in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and welding them together using an electron beam induced platinum deposition. STM imaging was performed on indiuA microscopy field known as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), uses various methods to get a picture of a sample surface down to such a small scale that individual atoms can be observed. One particular method to perform such microscopy uses the phenomena of quantum tunneling rather than using visible light. This method is called Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and the way it works is extremely d

The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states. This thesis aimed to explore how Sami national identity is constructed, shaped and promoted

Området Ramlösa station och Helsingborgs godsbangård innefattar bland annat resecentrum, rangerbangård, tågdepåer och kombiterminal för att nämna några. Utöver det är området en del i stadsförnyelseprojekt H+ som ska omvandla en miljon kvadratmeter till en mer blandad stad, för att möta framtidens behov. Inom området har aktörer tillkommit, försvunnit och behovet har förändrats över tid. Det har o

From the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a tendency to hybridize Buddhism with modern technology, which embodies rich ambiguities. At the conference AI World 2016, a robotic monk Xian’er with artificial intelligence(AI) premiered in China and was claimed as the icon of the harmony of techno-Buddhism. This paper will explore the ambiguity of Xian’er – why and how the harmony comes int

Målet med detta arbete var att rena fram proteinet Chlamydia trachomatis ribonucleotide reductase R1 Δ248. För att göra detta effektivt, med en så liten förlust av proteinet som möjligt under processen, så krävs kunskap om proteinets egenskaper. Med vetskapen att denna mutant, som saknar de första 248 aminosyrorna jämfört med den icke-muterade varianten, enbart har en ATP-kon medan den icke-muteraThe enzyme Ribonucleotide Reductase (RNR) reduces ribonucleotides (NTPs) to deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), which are then used as building blocks in the synthesis of DNA. In this thesis are reported the expression and purification of a mutant version of Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 , called Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 Δ248. The R1 subunit o

STI (Soil Topografic Index) är ett hydrologiskt index som beskriver markfuktigheten i ett landskap. Då indexet är baserat på de relativt konstanta faktorerna topografi, jordens textur och jorddjup beskriver det ett generellt markfuktighetsmönster. Indexet applicerades på jordbruksmark i Helsingborgs kommun för att få kunskap om vilka områden markfuktigheten tenderar att vara låg eller hög. Vid extThe index STI describes water flow path in a landscape. Whit the help of STI it´s possible to detect areas where the soil moisture is expected to be very high or low. When comparing the result of the STI for the chosen study-area with interviews for farmers in the same area, where was a similarity between which areas the STI identified as risk for high soil moisture and which areas the farmers ide

Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A

The drastic changes in infrastructure and arrival of luxury tourism to South Sinai has brought the global world at the doorstep of the region’s nomadic bedouins. The ever-expanding global influence has given birth to a generation of young bedouin women who absorb the surrounding new ideals, behaviors and understandings, blending them with their tribal culture. This has created identity hybridities

Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. Furthermore, precipitation drives Surface Mass Balance (SMB), which is the sum of accumulation and the

Hösten 2017 startade uppropet #tystnadtagning för att uppmärksamma skådespelerskors upplevelser av sexuella trakasserier i arbetet. Genom flertalet berättelser delade skådespelerskorna i uppropet med sig av personligt upplevda sexuella kränkningar i syftet att förändra sin arbetssituation. Denna uppsats syfte är att generera större branschspecifik kunskap om sexuella trakasserier i arbetet ur kvin

Purpose: The ambition of this study is to update the underlying assumptions about the role of a brand manager in the new digital era by illuminating how the role is executed and perceived by brand managers themselves. This study aims to update the language concerning a brand manager’s role with the help of metaphors and also, problematize the traditional assumptions regarding brand management. Me

Based on an ethnographic case study, this paper offers a typology of how, and under what circumstances, employees at a fast food-restaurant are cynical. By conducting participant- and non-participant observations and 10 semi-structured interviews, combined with a document analysis, we sought to understand the social realities of employees at Berger. Thus, we have had an interpretive approach to re

In July 2017, the Egyptian police and military forces implemented a government decision that intended to force the residents of al-Warraq island out of their homes. The eviction decision involved 720 homes, but the security forces were only able to demolish five homes before clashes broke out and the security forces withdrew from the island. The disputes between the police forces and island inhabi

This study aims to deduce what Japanese native speakers think of the Japanese writing systems, and in particular what native speakers’ opinions are concerning Kanji, the logographic writing system which consists of Chinese characters. The Japanese written language has something that most languages do not; namely​ a total of three writing systems. First, there is the Kana writing system, which cons

Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning: Att veta hur olika saker i världen kom till hjälper en att släcka den törstiga sömn-förstörande nyfikenheten. Många har ställt sig frågan: hur skapades universum? Någorlunda hela svar har lagts fram (som till exempel teorin om Big Bang), men det finns mer att upptäcka. På en relativt mindre skala kan man fråga sig hur skapades Vintergatan? Ännu en fråga delvis svaradThe properties of the early Milky Way are quite mysterious and some are completely unknown even today. This study is the first one ever to analyze the mass distribution of Population III bulge stars. Using the fitting code STARFIT, we perform an analysis of 65 bulge metal-poor stars obtained by the EMBLA survey to estimate the IMF (initial mass function) of the very first stars that defined our ga

Artificiella neuronnät är en enkel matematisk maskininlärningsmodell som på vissa sätt påminner om de neuronnät som återfinns hos djur. Syftet med maskininlärning är att inte behöva programmera exakt hur en maskin ska lösa en uppgift eftersom detta i vissa fall kan vara väldigt svårt eller näst intill omöjligt. Istället låter man maskinen lära sig utifrån erfarenhet av att utföra en uppgift. DennaThe recently introduced capsule networks have already shown much success on image classification tasks. In this thesis, capsule networks are described and applied to a binary classification task, namely that of classifying hotspots from bone scintigraphy scans. The performance of capsule networks on this task is compared to that of convolutional neural networks. The results indicate that there is
