Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress. Transient tachypnea typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm newborns. Although transient tachypnea of the newborn is usually a self limited condition, it is associated with wheezing syndromes in late childhood. The rationale for the use of epinephrin
The existing literature on eco-labeling and green consumerism has been framed within a classical market context where price and quality are the drivers of consumer choice. However, it seems possible that consumers are also concerned about the choices made by other consumers. In fact, it is unclear that people's consumption decisions are made independently of social context. For instance, under the
The Seebeck coefficient, a key parameter describing a material's thermoelectric performance, is generally difficult to measure, and no intrinsic calibration standard exists. Quantum dots and single electron tunneling devices with sharp transmission resonances spaced by many kT have a material-independent Seebeck coefficient that depends only on the electronic charge and the average device temperat
Abstract in UndeterminedIn this article we describe Professor, a new program for tuning model parameters of Monte Carlo event generators to experimental data by parameterising the per-bin generator response to parameter variations and numerically optimising the parameterised behaviour. Simulated experimental analysis data is obtained using the Rivet analysis toolkit. This paper presents the Profes
The classical Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma gives conditions for solvability of a certain inequality in terms of a symmetric matrix. The lemma has numerous applications in systems theory and control. Recently, it has been shown that for positive systems, important versions of the lemma can equivalently be stated in terms of a diagonal matrix rather than a general symmetric one. This paper generali
We prove sharp estimates for the Bergman projection in weighted Bergman spaces in terms of the Bekolle constant. Our main tools are a dyadic model dominating the operator and an adaptation of a method of Cruz-Uribe, Martell and Perez. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Lignins are aromatic polymers found in fibrous plants, and a major side-product of paper pulping. They are under exploited due to a combination of economic and technical challenges. Valorisation efforts aim to resolve this, but these rely on informative and reliable analytical feedback. The diverse and complex structures of compounds found in lignins makes analysis difficult. This thesis outlines
Klimatavtryck från Sveriges och världens rikaste har ökat stadigt sedan 90-talet. Samtidigt har de med lägst inkomst minskat sina utsläpp. Nu undersöker forskare om begränsningar för superrika kan bidra till minskade utsläpp. Utopi eller frihetskränkande?
Large particle accelerators are difficult to setup. One of the first problems that can be encountered, before production configuration is found, is the beam not passing through the accelerator. The process of guiding the beam through the accelerator is called beam threading. Depending on the accelerator complexity it can take days before the beam passes for the first time. Currently the beam thre
China is getting old. During the past decades, strict population control has lead to an exceptional increase in the old-age dependency ratio - the number of elderly in relation to the number of working age individuals. In light of shifting demographics, as well as retirees' general tendency towards declining health, this thesis studies health-seeking behavior amongst retirees in China. The stu
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur historiebruk förekommer i amerikansk lokal och nationell massmedia kring Ken Burns och Lynn Novicks dokumentär The War. Frågorna är: vilka historiebruk förekommer i amerikansk massmedia i medieskrivningen kring dokumentären The War på det nationella planet och vilka funktioner fyller de? Vilka skillnader finns i förekomsten av historiebruk mellan olika
Being in their early 20s, Generation Z has left its childhood behind and has entered the job market. However, employers have yet to prepare for their arrival. As strategic communication practitioners lack knowledge about attracting this cohort as future employees to their brand, and theorists in employer branding have overlooked Generation Z largely, this thesis aims to explain factors that enhanc
Since the Rwandan (1994) and Balkan (1990s) atrocities, the humanitarian dimension and in particular the protection of civilians (POC) mandate has become increasingly important in UN peacekeeping operations. It is often used as a visible indicator of a mission’s success. Yet scores of civilian deaths continue to plague missions baring the failures of UN peacekeeping to fulfil its mandate. The aim
Many of the finalists selected for the NIST post-quantum cryptography project are lattice-based and rely on a Learning With Errors problem (LWE). To solve such a problem, it is possible to implement a primal attack or a dual attack. In this context, Guo and Johansson as well as the MATZOV center have both proposed an improved dual attack against several NIST lattice candidates. The goal of this t
Methodology: The study is conducted as a qualitative research, where empirical data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with Swedish new ventures. The study does further take an abductive approach in terms of the theoretical viewpoint and research perspective. Theoretical perspective: The study is based on previous research about the early phases of new ventures, the importance
