Molecular dynamic simulation of nanosized single-crystal copper beams loaded in tension at different strain rates until necking has been performed for two different crystallographic orientations, the [100]- and the [110]-orientations. The molecular dynamics freeware code LAMMPS was employed for the simulations. It was found that, at low enough strain rates, single necking was obtained for both cry

The United Kingdom’s recently updated approach to sustainable drainage enhanced biodiversity and amenity objectives by incorporating the ecosystem approach and the ecosystem services concept. However, cost-effective and reliable methods to appraise the biodiversity and amenity values of potential sustainable drainage system (SuDS) sites and their surrounding areas are still lacking, as is a method

Filamentous fungi play a key role as decomposers in Earth’s nutrient cycles. In soils, substrates are heterogeneously distributed in microenvironments. Hence, individual hyphae of a mycelium may experience very different environmental conditions simultaneously. In the current work, we investigated how fungi cope with local environmental variations at single-cell level. We developed a method based

The capacity to assemble, store, and make available information in databases is ever growing. This development has accelerated in recent decades, driven by the advent and increased use of digital networks. Already at an early stage, it led to demands for legal protection of databases. In most countries databases have been protected in national legislation based on copyright principles. However, th

In this study, I investigate what a figurative sense is in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB). The description of figurative senses in the dictionary is analyzed in terms of word classes and the use of specific labels in the definitions, such as bildl. (figurative), is mapped out. From a cognitive semantic perspective, I investigate what the figurative uses of the present cases consi

Avhandlingen har titeln ”Konsten att upprätthålla löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män” och är en rättssociologisk studie av vad som stått i vägen för likalöneprincipen, när internationella konventioner och EU-rätten medfört krav på förändringar av kollektivavtal och lagstiftning. Avhandlingens syfte har varit att undersöka och förstå hur löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män skapas och återskapaThis dissertation, entitled “The Art of Preserving the Gender Pay Gap,” is a study in the sociology of law. It examines the obstructions to the principle of equal pay that persist in the face of international conventions and EU legislation that have mandated changes to legislation and collective bargaining agreements. The dissertation seeks to investigate and explain how the pay gap between women

A resampling method for quantitative MRS is presented that retains absolute concentrations. Averaging the spectra from a subset improved the concentrationestimates via increased SNR. Using short-TE STEAM spectra from human thalamus, the influence of subset size was systematically studied and verifiedagainst conventional bootstrap re-sampling. Even small subsets provided considerably better signal-

Background: The fractalkine/CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) pathway has been identified to play an essential role in the chemotaxis of microglia, leukocyte trafficking and microglia/macrophage recruitment. It has also been shown to be important in the regulation of the inflammatory response in the early phase after experimental stroke. The present study was performed to investigate if CX3CR1 de

In relation to traditional modes of research within academic context, there is a recent interest in research methods where artistic practices set a larger part of the managerial guidelines, i. e. where the artist or artwork is not the subject of investigation, but rather the operative agent for the carrying through of a project and for the dissemination of results. These methods are by necessity
