A search for flavour-changing neutral interactions involving the top quark, the Higgs boson and an up-type quark q (q = c, u) is presented. The proton-proton collision data set used, with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, was collected at (Formula presented.) TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Both the decay process t → qH in tt¯ production and the production process pp

This thesis focuses on investigating how the three British newspapers, The Guardian, The Telegraph and the BBC News, frame the motivations of the Kurdish female fighters joining armed forces in the war against Islamic State. It also explores, what are the reasons behind these portrayals and in what ways Kurdish female fighters challenge the existing discourse of Middle Eastern women. In order to

This thesis experiments with the data structure of a sparse voxel octree (SVO)to see if it may improve the performance of empty space ray marching in volumes. While ray marching is a somewhat new technique it is used more often in traversal of volumes. It can be used for realistic volumetric effects in computer games or it can be used in the medical field when examining and visualizing MRI scans.

Under förbränningsprocesser bildas mycket små partiklar av storleksordningen 1-100 nanometer och kallas därför nanopartiklar. Nanopartiklar utgör beståndsdelarna i det vi känner som sot. En nanometer är en etthundramiljontedels meter. Detta är svårt att föreställa sig. Istället kan man jämföra längden av ett par centimeter med längden av en resa runt ekvatorn. Nanopartiklar är så otroligt små atA simple investigation about the noise of the acquisition cards NI PXI-4495, provided by National Instruments, was performed. Standard deviations were calculated for data acquired from a signal generator, a constant voltage source and when the input channels were grounded, to estimate the noise. The obtained noise is in the order of a few millivolts when acquiring signals from the devices while th

Abstract Recent financial crises have demonstrated the importance of accurately measuring financial risks in order to be able to employ mitigating risk policies. This essay investigates the question whether a GARCH model augmented by an autoregressive conditional jump intensity component can improve value-at-risk forecasts in comparison to common GARCH models. Therefore, the VaR forecasting perfor

In circular accelerators, and in storage rings in particular, charged particles are kept in a closed orbit for a very long time by means of a magnet lattice. When the particle beam is bent by the magnetic field it emits light, which decreases the particle beam energy by an amount equal to the radiated energy. Over many bends in the magnets and many turns in the machine, these relatively small ener

Scholars discuss about the importance of processes of communication in which all stakeholders actively participate influencing the constitution and development of change and organizations. However, communication professionals struggle to em-brace these assumptions and modify their roles and practices in these complex set-tings. This study aims to understand how practitioners adapt their roles in t

There is no given answer to the question how participatory democracy activities affects the representative democracy. However, in an attempt to answer the question, this thesis use theories about democracy, influence of participatory activities and the roles of politicians in order to examine how citizen dialogues affects the decision making of politicians in Region Skåne (Sweden). The theoretica

Civilrättsliga processregler aktualiseras i samtliga tvistemål i allmän domstol och utgör därför en central del av den svenska rättsordningen. Ofta utvecklas reglerna i doktrin och genom praxis. Den successiva relevansens princip har fått en tydlig innebörd i och med NJA 2019 s. 802 och påverkar även andra processrättsliga regler som åberopsbördan. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda innebörden av desProcedural rules in civil law are relevant in all civil law cases in public court and are therefore a central part of the Swedish legal system. Often these rules are developed in legal science and by court practice. The principle of succes-sive relevance has gotten a clear meaning through NJA 2019 s. 802 and fur-ther affects other procedural rules such as the burden of call. The purpose of the es

The central objective of the study was to confirm the size and viscosity measurements of plant-based fats from another study using the same materials and equipment under the same processing and analytical parameters. The plant fats emulsified on milk system and homogenized at 250, 200 and 100 bar after preheating and pre-emulsification. The numerical results obtained by Laser Diffraction measureme

Idag är kommunikation, marknadsföring och transaktion av produkter nyckelfunktioner för produktförpackningar. Kvaliteten på det grafiska förpackningstrycket är därför av stor betydelse och måste vara konsekvent för stora produktionskvantiteter. En av de vanligaste tryckteknikerna för tryck på papper eller kartong är flexografiskt tryck. Med denna teknik appliceras färger en efter en och genom deraToday communication, promotion and transaction of products are key functions of product packaging. The quality of the package print is therefore of great importance and needs to be consistent for large production quantities. One of the most common technologies for printing on paper or cardboard is flexographic printing. With this technology colors are applied one by one and through their combinati

This article aims to expand our understanding of projectification in Swedish municipalities. Above all the article explores to what extent processes of projectification can be identified and if so how they unfold. The article draws its inspiration from critical management studies and uses the notion of sensemaking to identify the practices of projectification processes. Three processes of projecti

The objective of this work was to examine the atazanavir-bilirubin relationship using a population-based approach and to assess the possible application of bilirubin as a readily available marker of atazanavir exposure. A model of atazanavir exposure and its concentration-dependent effect on bilirubin levels was developed based on 200 atazanavir and 361 bilirubin samples from 82 patients receiving

Isomeric states in the semimagic Sn128-130 isotopes were populated in the fragmentation of a Xe-136 beam on a Be-9 target at an energy of 750 A.MeV. The decay of an isomeric state in Sn-128 at an excitation energy of 4098 keV has been observed. Its half live has been determined to be T-1/2 = 220(30) ns from the time distributions of the delayed gamma rays emitted in its decay. gamma gamma coincide

Neural interfaces hold great promise to become invaluable clinical and diagnostic tools in the near future. However, the biocompatibility and the long-term stability of the implanted interfaces are far from optimized. There are several factors that need to be addressed and standardized when improving the long-term success of an implanted electrode. We have chosen to focus on three key factors when

This study quantified major fluxes of carbon (C), heat and water, including uncertainty estimates, in a boreal forest in northern Sweden, using a process-based model (Coup-Model) and Bayesian calibration methodology. Coupled C, water and heat fluxes were described together with estimated uncertainties for all major components of the simulated C budget. Simulated mean gross primary production was 6
