This Letter reports a measurement of the high-mass Drell-Yan differential cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. Based on an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb(-1), the differential cross-section in the Z/gamma* -> e(+)e(-) channel is measured with the ATLAS detector as a function of the invariant mass, m(ee), in the range 116 < m(ee) < 1500 GeV, for

The diagnostic beam line at the MAX III synchrotron light source utilizes the synchrotron radiation (SR) in the visible to ultraviolet range to form images of the transverse electron beam profile. The emission and subsequent propagation and focusing of the SR is modeled, taking into account effects such as diffraction and the longitudinally distributed SR generation. A detailed description of the

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper describes a method for assessing the effectiveness in the steps of the learning cycle: the 1st loop with reporting - analysis - decision - implementation - follow-up, and the 2nd loop on an aggregated basis. For each step, the dimensions considered the most relevant for the learning process (scope, quality, timing and information distribution) and for each dimens

The human hand has so many degrees of freedom that it may seem impossible to control. A potential solution to this problem is "synergy control" which combines dimensionality reduction with great flexibility. With applicability to a wide range of tasks, this has become a very popular concept. In this review, we describe the evolution of the modern concept using studies of kinematic and force synerg

Purpose: To assess whether grating-based X-ray dark-field imaging can increase the sensitivity of X-ray projection images in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema and allow for a more accurate assessment of emphysema distribution. Materials and Methods: Lungs from three mice with pulmonary emphysema and three healthy mice were imaged ex vivo using a laser-driven compact synchrotron X-ray source. Me

Lightweight floors are often troubled by poor impact-sound insulation. In order to develop and explain structures with acceptable insulation, a deterministic prediction model was developed. The paper considers transmission through the system and the response of the model. Excitation (as caused by the ISO-tapping machine) is considered in a separate paper [1]. The system description employs a spati

Cancerrehabilitering har under de senaste åren experimenterat med virtuella upplevelser. Hur mottas dessa och hur ska en utvecklare gå tillväga för att arbeta i en sådan här kontextModern cancer healthcare prevents deaths but living with the disease creates a need for mental healthcare. Virtual reality (VR) and its abilities to create and maintain convincing illusions has been used for several other purposes within therapy and healthcare. Would it be possible to engineer a virtual environment for therapy within a cancer context? This thesis follows the design process behind

The world’s fisheries and marine ecosystems are in danger of collapse. Fish is a highly traded commodity worldwide and the WTO regulates most global trade. Yet, overfishing is an environmental problem and the WTO is not an environmental organisation. Due to its power and reach, increased observance of sustainability could be very influential. It is argued that a tool like ecolabelling can improve

An implementation to convert one of Adobes Flash file-format (xfl) to HTML5 has been created. The problems that need to be solved for completion of this converter are. What programming language should be used that is suitable for the application and locating some form of documentation of the file-format xfl. Javascript was chosen for implementation, but a usable documentation of xfl was not to be

The purpose of this study was to analyze selected passages of the short story The South Wind by the Iraqi writer Abd el-Malik Nuri, which was done in order to find out how the description of characters, setting, and events, are related to class. The main research questions dealt with how the use of word choice and imagery are used in connection to the setting and characterization, but also how the

Through its new road safety program the Aleksinac municipality wants to achieve a higher degree of safety in the city than today. These include a safer environment for vulnerable road users. For many years the municipality has neglected pedestrians, consciously or unconsciously, by not investing enough resources and money to improve their situation in traffic. The municipality now wants to correct

This essay is a qualitative study concerned with questions about disability. I set out from a definition of disability which highlights non-disabled peoples´ participation in making a disabled person ?the Other?. My aim is to contribute to an understanding of the experiences of disabled people as well as problemize the way that normality and disability is socially constructed. The empirical materi

The cotton industry is facing new competition due to changing comparative advantages on the world market. Egypt is one of the countries in which we have seen a reform in order to make the cotton sector more efficient and competitive. To be able to reach that goal, it is of great importance that the liberalization involves a good balance between competition and coordination. The purpose of this the

The HCCI engine has shown great qualities such as high efficiency combined with low emissions. However, many issues have not totally been solved yet. One way to control the combustion timing, one of the commented issues, is dual fuel utilizing the difference in ignition temperature between different fuels. So, from this point on it is not difficult to think about developing a big mapping of one H

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contribution to the current waged debate concerning the validity of Carl von Clausewitz’s theories regarding actors engaged in the acts of war. These thoughts have been suggested to be obsolete in the post-cold war era whereas the new wars theories have emerged and modified and challenged the classical knowledge of the very nature of war. The theoretical

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Landskrona Theatre, a 100-year old theatre in Sweden. Times to critical conditions have been calculated with ARGOS in three cases and with FDS4 in one case. Evacuation time has been calculated with Simulex. The fire safety for people in the building has been evaluated based upon the results of the calculations and suggestions to improve the fire safety of
