This essay investigates the impact on trade flows of the formation of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and whether countries with differences in the degree of exchange rate volatility prior to the adoption of the euro have experienced such trade effects to different extents. The gravity model forms the basis for the study, which is performed using a fixed effects-method on panel data from 24 OECD
Syftet med studien var att utreda om en expertgrupp, bestående av 24 deltagare rekryterade från en larmcentral, hade en bättre förmåga att minnas röster än en kontrollgrupp bestående av 24 deltagare. Försöksdeltagarna testades i ett experiment bestående av en röstdel och en ansiktsdel, varje del bestod av en verbaliseringsdel, som var tänkt att testa fenomenet verbal överskuggning samt en icke-ver
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the price development over time, the price setting procedure and industry structure theoretically and empirically. From these studies, the aim is to analyze what models are most apt to value agricultural estates.
Finns det kvalitetsproblem i virkesleveransskedjan som påverkar slutkvaliteten på producerade byggnader med trä negativt? För att bringa klarhet i den frågan har platsbesök och intervjuer genomförts på sågverk(3st), hos grossister(3st) och vid mottagning av virke på arbetsplatser(3st). En enkät har också gått ut till 58 stycken produktionschefer i Skåne för att undersöka bland annat vilka kontrollAre there quality problems in the timber supply chain that affect the final quality of the produced buildings with wood negatively? In order to shed light on the issue there has been site visits and interviews conducted in the sawmill (3x), wholesalers (3x) and the acceptance of wood in the workplace (3x).

The results from dozens of standard OLS multiple regressions suggest that foreign-born males typically "americanize" within 15 years of arrival in Florida: in accord with Barry Chiswick's broader, years-since-migration var
The drug discovery process has changed dramatically during the last decade. The development of technologies such as combinatorial chemistry has introduced methods to synthesize massive numbers of new diverse compounds. This, combined with High-Throughput Screening techniques HTS, makes it possible in vast numbers to examine the potency in vitro of new compounds. This kind of approach is highly suc
To communicate reliably over noisy wireline or wireless channels, algorithms that add redundancy are used to help reconstruct the transmitted sequence at the receivers. Such error control coding algorithms are today used in all digital communication systems. Optimum decoding algorithms such as the Viterbi and BCJR have very good performances but often too high complexity. Therefore, less complex s
Abstract Development and security have historically fashioned distinct discourses. More recently, they have been inevitably linked both in discourse and policy, having as a consequence the so-called development–security nexus.
