This is the manual and user guide for the Rivet system for the validation and tuning of Monte Carlo event generators. As well as the core Rivet library, this manual describes the usage of the rivet program and the AGILe generator interface library. The depth and level of description is chosen for users of the system, starting with the basics of using validation code written by others, and then cov
In this paper the design and demonstration of a 7 nm(3) h(-1) integrated steam reforming based hydrogen production unit using a Fischer-Tropsch diesel is reported. The system design is discussed in detail, including the fuel processor itself as well as the hydrogen purification and results from stand-alone operation of the combined unit operations is reported. Further, the results of an integratio
Idag ökar medellivslängden tack vare olika tekniska och medicinska framsteg. Globaliseringen fortsätter och det gränsöverskridande utbytet av varor, tjänster, arbetstagare och kapital ökar. I takt med att människan lever längre blir frågan om pensionssparande allt viktigare. I en internationell kontext är det angeläget för den enskilde att förstå hur beskattning av pensionsförsäkringar fungerar. Today, life expectancy increases thanks to various technological and medical advances. Globalization continues, and the cross-border exchange of goods, services, workers and capital is increasing. As we live longer, the question of pension savings becomes increasingly important. For anyone engaged in a cross-border situation, it is important to understand how taxation of pension insurance works.
Både i Sverige och utomlands finns det ett behov av tvistlösning som alternativ till domstolsprövning. I Sverige har sedan 1917 Stockholms Handelskammares Skiljedomsinstitut fungerat som institut för alternativ tvistlösning genom skiljeförfarande och en gångbar lagstiftning på området har i Sverige funnits sedan 1929. Skiljeförfarandet som tvistlösningssätt präglas av fyra essentiella hörnstenar -In Sweden as well as in other countries, there is a need for alternative dispute resolution as supposed to dispute resolution through a court of law. The Stockholm Chamber of Commerce has functioned as an institute for alternative dispute resolution by arbitration since 1917, whereas passable regulations on arbitration have been in force since 1929. The arbitration as a method of dispute resolutio
Nowadays, many industries are investing a lot of resources in the development of new technologies that interpret hand gestures and use them as a communication interface between the user and the system. However, the surveillance industries have remained on the sidelines of this technological development. Instead, the joystick and the mouse are the most common devices found in control rooms. Using t
Smålands museum, the museum of Småland, is a museum for the county of Kronoberg, a mission given to the museum by the state and county council. The main fields of the museum are the cultural heritage and the history of culture of the region. The museum of Småland is also the Swedish museum of glass. This Master s thesis focuses on the information requirements of the employees at the museum of Smål
The purpose of this graduate thesis is to examine how the best interests of the child principle has evolved in the history of the Swedish institution of adoption, how the best interests of the child shall be provided for with reference to international adoption that takes place today and finally if the best interests of the child principle requires to be clarified in the Swedish legislation. A com
This bachelor´s thesis concerns the solar energy systems in new small houses. First various terms of low energy buildings are explained followed by technologies that reduce energy demands are explained and the ways it is possible to recover heat energy. Thereafter a discussion in how solar energy can be exploited is raised, which solar technologies are available and how it is possible to use solar
Finding work for people with severe physical disabilities is not easy. This master thesis aims to investigate the possibility of creating new job opportunities for these people, using speech recognition. One possibility is to construct an application where a person works in a callcentre by using his/her voice. To test the idea a co-operation with the callcentre at Trygg Hansa in Malmö was initiate
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the cutdowns and the savings can have an effect on the health and the wellbeing of the personnel on the basis of their own stories as well as the meaning of the different leading styles that are used on the daily basis and how that can matter on the creation of a more healthy workplace. The starting point of this study is the experiences of the pers
This study aims to determine the significance of different sources of financial flexibility that enables firms to respond to negative shocks or investment opportunities in form of unexpected periods of insufficient resources. The empirical study is based on a model that proxy for firms’ investment and dividend policies to further examine how possible cash shortfalls is resolved. The sample covers
Den ökade betydelsen av immateriella rättigheter, utvecklade möjligheter till lättare spridning av skyddat material och därigenom ett ökat skyddsbehov har föranlett rättighetsinnehavare att söka nya tillvägagångssätt för bekämpning av immaterialrättsintrång online. Under det senaste årtiondet har ett nytt vapen i form av förbudsförelägganden mot mellanhänder trätt fram. Utan något faktiskt ansvar The increased significance of intellectual property rights, rapid development of easier dissemination of protected works and the subsequent concern for protection has lead right holders to continuously seek new ways of countering online piracy. In the past decade, a new regime of targeting online intermediaries with blocking injunctions has emerged, supported by the legislative powers of the Europ
Quantum dots (QDs) can serve as near perfect energy filters and are therefore of significant interest for the study of thermoelectric energy conversion close to thermodynamic efficiency limits. Indeed, recent experiments in [Nat. Nano. 13, 920 (2018)1748-338710.1038/s41565-018-0200-5] realized a QD heat engine with performance near these limits and in excellent agreement with theoretical predictio
Despite its role in ensuring the ubiquity of fossil fuels in modern society, the petrochemical sector has long flown under the public radar in energy and climate debates. However, faced with increasing pressures from its involvement in driving multiple and intersecting ecological crises, firms in the petrochemical industry are seeking to make sustainability a core part of their public image. Altho
We present the first results of K2-OjOS, a collaborative project between professional and amateur astronomers primarily aimed to detect, characterize, and validate new extrasolar planets. For this work, 10 amateur astronomers looked for planetary signals by visually inspecting the 20 427 light curves of K2 campaign 18 (C18). They found 42 planet candidates, of which 18 are new detections and 24 ha
In this thesis, I address people’s experiences of being born with a body that does not meet the normative definitions of male or female. The situation when sex characteristics develop in ways that do not conform to binary models is referred to as intersex or disorders of sex development (DSD). This research has been done in the context of the 2006 medical consensus statement on intersex/DSD, and i
Pervaporation offers solutions for a wide range of applications ranging from the dehydration of organic compounds to the recovery of organic compounds from water and the separation of organic mixtures. While the combination of pervaporation and distillation in a hybrid process to break azeotropes is well established on an industrial scale, successful applications of hydrophobic pervaporation are r
Background: The use of welfare technology is gaining ground in municipal eldercare and is increasingly being integrated into everyday routines. However, the meanings that eldercare personnel attach to welfare technology in the care of older recipients, and thus the domestication of welfare technology, remain largely underexplored. This study explores how eldercare personnel understand and ascribe
