Experimental oscillator strenghts (f-values) for lines in Zr II and Cr II have been determined using branching fractions (BFs) and radiative lifetimes. Experimental log gf-values for 263 spectral lines in Zr II have been derived by combining previously measured lifetimes with new BFs measured on the Lund UV Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). The oscillator strengths have been used to determine

A condensed account of the history of the production and spread of books, in manuscript and in print, in the Nordic countries during the handpress period. Attention is paid to printing as a factor in the formation of national languages.

I denna undersökning studeras hur laborations- rapporter vid LTH motiveras som pedagogiskt moment, hur skrivinstruktionerna är relaterade till lärandemomentet, och om detta kan förbättras. Det visar sig att de flesta instruktioner endast mycket kortfattat motiverar varför laborationsrapporter skrivs även om kursansvariga har ambitiösa mål med momentet. I skrivinstruktionerna finns ofta fler dispos

Based on experiences and research presented during the WBLE 2nd 2001 (Web Based Learning Environment) conference on e-Learning at Lund University, Sweden, October 2001, one wish to obtain a glimpse into the status and future of e-Learning. During the conference a large number of worldwide research, experiences and dreams were presented. Thus, this conference gives us a good idea of the status toda

Methods and knowledge about traceability is developed in a joint research project between SCA packaging, Philips and Lund University. This paper is based on a case study at van Eerd Group, a retail chain in Holland. Discrete event simulation is used as a method to analyse different scenarios, based on the existing case system. It is clear that intelligent packages play an important role not only f

Frågan hur vi lever är lika gammal som aktuell – och viktig. I takt med att samhället förändras ter den sig bara än mer angelägen. Bokens ambition är att i olika avseenden aktualisera begreppet livsföring inom den sociologiska traditionen och teoribildningen liksom inom andra samhälls- och kulturvetenskaper. Innehåll: Inledning; 1. C-G. Heidegren: Livsstil och livsföring hos Simmel och Weber; 2. B

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan 1980 finns det inte längre några formella restriktioner vad gäller i vilken typ av befattningar, positioner eller förband som kvinnor kan jobba som yrkesofficerare i den svenska Försvarsmakten (FM). I denna avhandling studeras närmare hur långt integreringen av kvinnor i den svenska FM har kommit, hur kvinnliga officerares situation ser ut idag, och vad deras närvSince 1980, there are no formal restrictions for women to serve as officers wherever and in what positions they want to in the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). In this thesis, the author examines what has been achieved so far in terms of integration of women, what the situation of female officers is looking like today, and what impact their presence has had on the military organisation. The empirical

A pre-screening procedure with a number of candidate Human-Machine-Interaction solutions (visual, auditory and haptic) for the concept of Safe Speed and Safe Distance was carried out. Two groups of about 30 test persons participated in the two-phase test procedure. Eleven candidate visual displays for speed information and ten alternatives for distance warning as well as twelve auditory warning so

We show how one can back out implied forward volatility term structures from credit default swap spreads. Such forward stock volatility term structures are useful for instance in forward start option pricing. We find the term structure to be downward-sloping, and the credit market's volatility forecasts tend to vary more across time than across maturities. Long-term volatility expectations, in tur
