3D-spektroskopi - Att blanda färg och sortera pussel Att blanda färg är något alla gjort i något läge av livet. Det bygger på att ögat har svårt att skilja på olika färger. Det har forskare löst genom att använda en spektrometer, som dock sätter andra begränsningar. I det här projektet visar vi att man kan undvika några av de begränsningarna med hjälp av en ny teknik, vilket skulle hjälpa forskniMulti-spectral imaging is a powerful approach in spectral analysis of objects with spatial details. However, such approaches are most often time consuming and experimentally complex since both spectral and spatial information in two dimensions are to be resolved. Presented here is an alternative approach to thee-dimensional spectroscopy, utilizing the Compressive Sensing methodology to treat a dig

Genom att ta bilder i specifika våglängder på växer, från det visuella till det osynliga, kan man ta reda diverse information om växter såsom biomassa och stress. Detta kan man då göra med multispektrala kameror som oftast har varit monterade på satelliter. Satelliter har dock problem såsom eventuella molntäcken som täcker vyn över växterna. Drönare med multispektrala kameror har därmed blivit allVegetation monitoring over time is important in a changing world due to climate change. Remote sensing, especially with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), can be utilized to monitor vegetation at flexible scales at an accurate degree. However, the relatively new remote sensing platforms that are UAVs imply the requirement of understanding how to best monitor vegetation in an accurate way w

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

PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) has proven to be a successful method for examining the electronic characteristics of nanostructures. The experiments relevant for the following report were conducted using a combination of PEEM and a femtosecond pulsed laser to determine the electrical characteristics of Indium Arsenide nanowire of crystal structure varying between wurtzite and zinc blend.

Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. I lagen ges enskilda, genom införandet av en dröjsmålstalan, för första gången i svensk förvaltningsrätt en generell rätt att föra talan mot förvaltningsmyndigheters passivitet. Om unionsrätten inte anger annat kommer den nya dröjsmålstalan, enligt principen om medlemsstaternas processuella autonomi, att tillämpas även vid förvalOn the first of July 2018, the new Swedish Administrative Procedure Act came into force. The Act introduces a new remedy against the inaction of administrative authorities (an action for failure to act, in Swedish “dröjsmålstalan”). Through the introduction of the new remedy, individuals are given a general right to appeal against the administrative authorities' inaction for the first time in

Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is

Background: In order to decouple from carbon dioxide, alternative, renewable energy sources need to replace traditional fossil fuels. The fastest growing renewable technology has for the past years been solar, more specifically in the form of photovoltaics (PV). With the support of policy schemes, solar systems are being installed on rooftops of private houses and corporations - and are incre

I Sveriges storstadsregioner råder idag en brist på bostäder. Vill man hyra en lägenhet ska man helst ha ställt sig i kö många år i förväg. Har man inte kötid, kontakter eller lust att betala ockerhyra för att bo i andra hand bör man ha en årsinkomst eller två i kontanter bara för att få låna ihop till en bostadsrätt. Till följd av detta byggs det nu mer än på länge, men det som byggs är oftast inIn Sweden, there’s currently a shortage of housing. If you want to rent an apartment, you will have to have been queuing for years. If you don’t have the queue time to compete, the necessary contacts or you just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a sub-let you might need to have a year’s salary in cash just to be able to get the loan you need for a condominium. In reaction to this we are seein

Talent Management is a vague concept that is covering everything from recruiting, developing and retaining talents within organisations. A constant challenge in this field is to develop new generations within the workforce to fit what the organisation needs in order to do business. Generations are said to be shaped after historical and political factors that are impacting their behaviors and requi

While industrial robots have traditionally been designed for tasks such as pick-and-place that require a high repeatability, an increasing demand for off-line control and high-precision applications have in recent decades put higher demands on the accuracy of robots. One application in that vain is the detection of X-rays that have been scattered from a sample during X-ray diffraction, which produ

The thesis examines how the Palestinian women’s initiative of the shadow councils contributes to female political participation opportunities in the Palestinian National Authority areas (PNAa). The shadow councils are women groups that lend support to elected local councilwomen and encourage women who are not yet politically active to run for local offices. Based on qualitative field research in t

Metoderna som används för att göra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen tryggare har bytt fokus från själva produktionen av jordbruksgrödor till att öka människors tillgänglighet till marknader. Analyser visar att det finns ett samband mellan inkomst, avlägsenhet, och hur stor andel av god jordbruksmark faktiskt används för jordbruk. För att beräkna tillgänglighet krävs fullständig, uppdaterad, ocContemporary approaches to improving food security amongst the world’s vulnerable populations have shifted from attempts to improve crop yield to improving accessibility to markets. Analyses show that there is a correlation between income, distance from cities, and the ratio of potential agricultural production to realised agricultural production.
