Planned Extremely Large Telescopes will rely oil availability of large Deformable Mirror in the 2-3m class. Design and construction of such mirrors are challenging and call for powerful simulation tools. We present an evaluation model which is used to study performance of a large deformable mirror for three: actuator topologies. Back sensors topologies are discussed from the point of view of senso

Background: Assessing and evaluating health care is important, and an abundance of instruments are developed in different languages. Translating existing, validated instruments is demanding and calls for adherence to protocol. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the FAMCARE-2 scale for use in Sweden. Methods: Traditional back-translation and the decentering sta

In this essay, I discuss two major theoretical discourses of modernity, namely, of classical modernity and postmodernity. Moreover, I aim at a proposition of a possible historical relation between those two discourses of crucial importance to modernity’s intellectual history. This historical connection is founded on what I call the principle of insufficient reason. The principle of insufficient

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 purpose of this study was to investigate illness experiences of patients after a first myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on life situation and the recovery process over time. Thirty patients were interviewed within the first 3 days of hospitalisation, and again 17 weeks after discharge. The interviews were tape-recorded verbatim and the transcriptions were analysed and categorised using qua

In this case-control study, interview data on smoking habits were available for 179 de novo cases (116 with cytogenetic data) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Smoking habits were compared with a pooled set of population controls and hospital controls (diagnosed with malignant melanoma). Each pack-year of smoking increased the risk of MDS with 1.3% (95% CI 0.1-2.6

A comparison of the Latin and Middle English versions of Alfonso of Jaen's Epistola solitarii.

En dialog med ekonomen Hal Varian om det digitala skiftet i ekonomin, regleringen av digitala marknader och framtiden

The Ålandic autonomy has evolved into a relatively well-functioning system over the last century. A scrutiny of the first three decades following the decisions by the Council of the League of Nations shows that this was not always the case. This article engages with the main political issues that Åland faced during this time, focusing on the problems that directly or indirectly involved the League

Eftersom snabb teknisk utveckling och globalisering har förändrat sättet på vilket vi anförtror oss personuppgifter till webbplatser för sociala medier samt sökmotorer, har den Europeiska kommissionen föreslagit en ny dataskyddsförordning som kommer att förbättra skyddet för den personliga integriteteten på internet för medborgarna i EU. Då den med stor sannolikhet träder i kraft år 2016 kommer etRapid technological developments and globalisation have profoundly changed the way people entrust their personal data to social media websites and search engines. As a result, the European Commission has proposed a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to enhance online privacy rights for the citizens of the European Union. As the GDPR will most likely enter into force in 2016, one of the maj

One step in the pursuit of a harmonization of the rules regulating international sale of goods is the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which entered into force on January 1, 1988. As of today, 89 states have ratified the CISG and it is optional law for the majority of all contracts on the international sale of goods. A question highly debated at th

Vad kan stoppa oss från att hitta mörk materia med LDMX? När astronomer tittar på de största objekten i vårt universum ser de att stora strukturer, så som som galaxer och galaxkluster, inte rör sig som de förväntar sig. Det visar sig att det finnas en stor mängd extra materia som vi inte kan se. Denna osynliga materia kallar vi ’mörk materia’. Många teorier för vad mörk materia består av har lagtAccording to astronomical observations of galaxies and other large scale dynamics, the universe contains more mass than what is visible. This missing mass is called "dark matter" and have been a subject of study for physicists for decades. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed experiment with the purpose to search for dark matter in a low mass range that not many experime

Ny teknik på företaget Maersk Oil har möjliggjort en effektivare avbildning av den ytnära berggrunden som tidigare förblivit dolda. Denna nya metod leder förhoppningsvis till en mer säker kartläggning av geologiska risker. Ett viktigt framsteg där både liv och miljö kan sparas. Tänk dig en exploderande oljerigg, orsakat av att någon ovetandes borrat rakt in i en gasficka i den ytnära berggrunden.The main objective of this master's thesis is to evaluate a new processing method for extracting seismic conventional 3D streamer deep target data for shallow subsurface imaging. Deep target acquisitions have greater potential than it's conventional use. The aim of these acquisitions is to discover natural resources, in particular oil and gas, at several kilometres of depth.
