Leaders’ debates have become a feature of contemporary election campaigning. While an historical feature of the US landscape, in the United Kingdom, they are a more recent phenomenon. The second UK 2015 general election leadership debate comprised seven candidates, of which three were women. Using qualitative thematic analysis and adopting the notion that gender is ‘performed’, we explore three fe
The emission bands of the 4.2, 3.2 and 2.6 nm sized ZnS:Eu2+ nanoparticles are peaking at 670, 580 and 520 nm, respectively. The emission of the 4.2 nm sized nanoparticles originates from the recombination of the Eu2+-bound exciton, while the emission of the 3.2 and 2.6 nm sized nanoparticles is from the Eu2+ intra-ion transition of 4f(6)5d(1)(t(2g))-4f(7). Possible mechanisms for the size depende
The structure of GP-zones in an industrial, 7xxx-series Al–Zn–Mg alloy has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy methods: selected area diffraction, conventional and high-resolution imaging. Two types of GP-zones, GP(I) and (II) are characterized by their electron diffraction patterns. GP(I)-zones are formed over a wide temperature range, from room temperature to 140–150°C, indepen
Sr-vacancy compensated Nb-doped SrTiO3 with the nominal composition Sr0.94Ti09Nb0.1O3 has been evaluated as part of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode material in terms of redox stability, electrical conductivity, as well as electrochemical properties. Sr0.94Ti0.9Nb0.1O3 has been synthesized with a recently developed modified glycine-nitrate process. The synthesized powders have been calcined an
Nanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes. A relatively new concept is that of charge carrier diffusion-induced light-emitting diodes, for which nanowires offer an interesting architecture by use of particle-assisted core-branch growth. The branches should be hoNanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

This work is concerned with the production of social space through cultural and performance practices; it proposes the collective production of space as a mode of resistance and examines performance manifestations, occupations and constructions within the contemporary neoliberal landscape. The thesis seeks to develop a mode of critical engagement with the spatial – its constraints and potentialiti
The need for secure and integrity-preserved data sharing has become increasingly important in the emerging era of changed demands on healthcare and increased awareness of the potential of data. In this research plan, we describe our path to explore the optimal use of integrity preservation in health-related data contexts. Data sharing in these settings is poised to increase health, improve healthc
Adequate privacy protection is crucial for implementing modern AI algorithms in medicine. With Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a party without access to the secret key can perform calculations and advanced analytics on encrypted data without taking part of either the input data or the results. FHE can therefore work as an enabler for situations where computations are carried out by parties tha
PURPOSE: Radiation to the bone and exposure to alkylating agents increases the risk of bone cancer among survivors of childhood cancer, but there is uncertainty regarding the risks of bone tissue radiation doses below 10 Gy and the dose-response relationship for specific types of chemotherapy.METHODS: Twelve European countries contributed 228 cases and 228 matched controls to a nested case-control
