The present study explores the value and role of the physical space of the public library from the perspective of the visitors in the context of digitalization. The qualitative research was based on semi-structured interviews with regular visitors of Idé A Drottninghög (Helsingborg, Sweden), Idé A library staff members, and collaborative organizations of Idé A that make use of the library’s physic

Private equity returns are ultimately realized through the exit of portfolio companies, making exit timing and exit routes central to the investment process. This thesis examines which factors are associated with exit timing and how macroeconomic conditions differ across exit routes for private equity investments in the Nordic region. Using a hand-collected dataset of 176 IPO and SBO exits between

The author analyzes the determinants of stock-based compensation in Chinese listed firms and subsequent performance within these firms. My study shows that non-tradable reforms changed the managerial objectives from accounting profit to market performance. The subsequent stock-based incentives in managers have induced measurable changes in behavior at the enterprise level. With regard to the subse

This paper presents a methodology with the purpose of modeling and simulating outdoor temperature and relative humidity (vapor concentration) related to moisture exposure on timber structures. The methodology is based on time-series analysis with recorded meteorological data used as input. In situations where recorded data is missing or consists of limited sequences, this methodology offers the po

We have investigated the geometry and electronic structure of two different types of self-aligned silicon nanoribbons (SiNRs), forming either isolated SiNRs or a self-assembled 5 x 2/5 x 4 grating on an Ag(110) substrate, by scanning tunnelling microscopy and high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. At room temperature we further adsorb on these SiNRs either atomic or molecular hydrogen.

Abstract in UndeterminedA one-dimensional model for the sedimentation-compression-dispersion process in the secondary settling tank can be expressed as a nonlinear strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), which has coefficients with spatial discontinuities. Reliable numerical methods for simulation produce approximate solutions that converge to the physically relevant sol

Guanine was electrochemically oxidised at polycrystalline gold electrodes. The potential for guanine oxidation at pH 7.4 was +690 mV versus AgAgCl when extrapolated to a scan rate of 3 mV s(-1). Kinetic analysis revealed the initial irreversible 2e(-) oxidation of guanine, achieved with fast scan cyclic voltammetry. At scan rates lower than 5 V s(-1), the 2e(-) oxidation changed to the extensive 4

A method for time-resolved recording of light scattering in thin, highly scattering media is described. Subpicosecond pulses from a high-power Ti:sapphire laser are used, and single-shot recordings of the scattered light are made with a fast streak camera. The method is applied to the study of light scattering in paper, and a 1-ps resolution is demonstrated. The dependence of the light scattering

A transmitter consisting of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and power amplifier (PA) for the 400 MHz Medical Implanted Communication System band (MICS) was built in a standard 0.35-μm CMOS process. A push pull architecture was used for both the VCO and the PA. Two off-chip inductors were needed. The design was optimized for 400 μW output power at 3 V supply, which resulted in an efficiency o

Isothermal calorimetry and diffuse reflectance infrared DR–FTIR spectroscopy are combined to correlate evolutions of spectroscopic signatures with rates of chemical reactions as reflected in the rate of heat emitted during the first 38 h of cement hydration. Portland limestone cement mortar is employed and the analysis is repeated for two different mixing procedures. Intensive blender mixing with

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fotosyntesen är den mest grundläggande förutsättningen för människans överlevnad. Genom att absorbera solenergi och omvandla den till kemiskt bunden energi i form av energirika organiska molekyler, står fotosyntesen för nästan all tillförsel av energi till vårt ekosystem. Energin utnyttjas som mat, till oss och till djuren vi beror av, och som bränsle, fossilt eller färIn this thesis, a new electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal from photosystem II is presented. The signal is shown to originate from the S0 oxidation state of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). It is a Mn-derived signal displaying clear hyperfine structure, centered at g=2, and is significantly broader than the well-known multiline signal from the S2 state, indicating the presence of MnII in

The goal of the paper is to present a distributed scheme to resolving a single path routing problem in multidomain networks. The global problem is formulated as a mixed-integer program (MIP) and approached by means of branch-and-price (B&P). Problems associated with a B&P tree nodes are decomposed using the Dantzig-Wolfe method to a set of domain subproblems coordinated by a single master

Production plants need to be set up and reconfigured faster to fulfill increasing market demands. Highly flexible automation systems are needed and a promising approach is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) which has recently received much attention in both academia and industry. OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA), the next generation of the de facto standard for interoperability in the automation

Coherent phenomena have been widely suggested to play a role in efficient photosynthetic light harvesting and charge separation processes. To substantiate these ideas, separation of intramolecular vibrational coherences from purely electronic or mixed vibronic coherences is essential. To this end, polarization-controlled two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy has been shown to provide an effectiv

Usually, background subtraction is approached as a pixel-based process, and the output is (a possibly thresholded) image where each pixel reflects, independent from its neighboring pixels, the likelihood of itself belonging to a foreground object. What is neglected for better output is the correlation between pixels. In this paper we introduce a model-based background subtraction approach which fa

The minimum weighted edge dominating set problem (MWEDS) generalizes both the weighted vertex cover problem and the problem of covering the edges of graph by a minimum cost set of both vertices and edges. In this paper, we propose a meta heuristic approach based on genetic algorithm and local search to solve the MWEDS problem. Therefore, the proposed method is considered as a memetic search algori

In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some c
