The long absorption length of hard X-rays makes them ideal tools for investigating electronic and optoelectronic devices in realistic operational conditions. Modern X-ray optics reach the relevant length scales for single nanoelectronic devices. Here, methods to investigate single nanowire devices with nanofocused X-rays are discussed. The X-rays are used both as pump and probe of semiconductor na

Three new genera Coppinsidea, Vandenboomia and Wolseleyidea are described and the genera Ivanpisutia, Lecaniella and Myrionora are resurrected on the basis of a phylogenetic analysisof multi-locus sequence data of the Ramalinaceae including the nuclear protein-codingmarker rpb2, the internal transcribed spacer and a fragment of the small mitochondrialsubunit. The genus Hertelidea was positioned wi

Designing appropriate control systems for radiant heating and cooling terminals entails an understanding of their dynamic behaviour. This study experimentally investigates the dynamic response of a room with convective and radiant cooling systems. The experiments were performed in a 12.6 m2 large test room outfitted as a single-office room. The main cooling system was radiant ceiling panels which

The new for science genus Loekoeslaszloa S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, confirmed by three gene phylogeny of the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the Teloschistaceae based on nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU sequences, and ten new to science species from Eastern Asia, i.e. from South Korea: Bacidina loekoesiana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Fauriea jejuensis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J.-S. Hur, Gyalecta ulleungdoensi

While surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, it is not a comprehensive approach, and outcome is unsatisfactory, especially sensory function. The present aim was to translate recent findings about stem- and progenitor cells to improve regenerative outcome, where the cells have to be autologous, available within the same surgical procedure, and minimally manipulated. Gra

This Ph.D. project in artistic research is concerned with the function of gesture in traditional Vietnamese music. Building on gender analysis of musical performance in TV shows, and further on autoethnographic inquiry throughout the artistic projects, the artistic output articulates a critical understanding of these practices. The aims of the project are to investigate the social function and mea

The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT). The mainstream literature suggests that sophisticated CBT (SCBT) will best guide organizations in evaluating important strategic investments. Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) choose to go against that “wisdom” and choose non-sophisticated CBT (NSCBT).Instead of following The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT).
