This chapter examines how international environmental law pertains during and in the transition phase from armed conflict to peace. I argue that environmental treaties have the ability to fill an institutional and a legal gap, particularly in a post-conflict context, which is often characterized of institutional collapse and break down of rule of law. Environmental treaties could therefore be of r
2D perovskites have recently been shown to exhibit significantly improved environmental stability. Derived from their 3D analogues, 2D perovskites are formed by inserting bulky alkylammonium cations in-between the anionic layers. However, these insulating organic spacer cations also hinder charge transport. Herein, such a 2D perovskite, (iso-BA)2(MA)3Pb4I13, that contains short branched-chain spac
Ratios of top-quark pair to Z-boson cross sections measured from proton-proton collisions at the LHC centre-of-mass energies of s=13 TeV, 8 TeV, and 7 TeV are presented by the ATLAS Collaboration. Single ratios, at a given s for the two processes and at different s for each process, as well as double ratios of the two processes at different s, are evaluated. The ratios are constructed using previo
Reflections on whether non-state actor can apply the right to self-defence under the existing international legal framework.
HRM is considered of vital strategic importance in professional service firms, but professionals generally resist these managerial initiatives. In this article, I report on an in-depth case study of a tax consultancy department in a major accounting firm by exploring the way professionals reconcile the logics of professionalism and HRM. Results indicate that the logics are reconciled in several wa
It is, with the thermal models used in today's building simulation progr¿rms,possible to calculate the major part of the heat transfer in a room with an ambientouter wall. However, there are some parameters these models calculatewith less or unknown accuracy: heat flows in poorly insulated walls or windows,heat flows in a room exposed to strong solar radiation, temperatures onthe inside of ambientAn ambient wall with a window were studied with both theoretical analyses and measurements performedunder conditions with natural climate. The method used wes to estimate the heat flow through wall and windowfrom measured temperatures and solar radiation. The longwave radiation was calculated from surface temperatures. The convective heat transfer was caculated as the difference between the heat f
Geometrically designed III-V nanowire arrays are promising candidates for optoelectronics due to their possibility to excite nanophotonic resonances in absorption spectra. Strong absorption resonances can be obtained by proper tailoring of nanowire diameter, length and pitch. Such enhancement of the light absorption is, however, accompanied by undesired resonance dips at specific wavelengths. In t
Efficient methods for the synthesis of C2-symmetric dimers of salinomycin joined at either the C1 or C20 positions are reported. Similarly to the native structure, the C20-O-terephthalate dimer displayed activity in the low μM range against a series of cancer cell lines, while dimers joined at the C1 position were essentially inactive.
We revisit the classical problem of when a given function, which is analytic in the upper half plane ℂ+, can be written as the Fourier transform of a function or distribution with support on a half axis (-∞, b], b∈ℝ.We derive slight improvements of the classical Paley-Wiener-Schwartz Theorem, as well as softer conditions for verifying membership in classical function spaces such as Hp(ℂ+).
Off-line programmering, nya användningsområden och ökade krav på utbytbarhet har resulterat till ett ökat intresse för en förbättring av industrirobotarnas absoluta noggrannhet. En förutsättning för att detta kan ske är att industriellt anpassade mät- och kalibreringsmetoder finns tillgängliga. Målet med projektet har varit att utveckla, prova och jämföra industrianpassade robotkalibreringsmetoder
This papers describe the Open Source Officer role and the experiences from introducing this role in several companies. We outline the role description, main responsibilities, and interfaces to other roles and organizations. We investigated the role in several organization and bring interesting discrepancies and overlaps of how companies operate with OSS.
The evolutionary relationship between signals and animal senses has broad significance, with potential consequences for speciation, and for the efficacy and honesty of biological communication. Here we outline current understanding of the diversity of colour vision in two contrasting groups: the phylogenetically conservative birds, and the more variable butterflies. Evidence for coevolution of col
