A humanoid dummy inside a well controlled radon exposure chamber (volume=20m3) was used to investigate the properties of an aerosol close to, and far away from the human face, respectively. Rn222 and a NaCl aerosol (geometric mean diameter=86 nm, concentration ( 5000 cm-3 was added to the room. The size distribution of the passive aerosol and the unattached fraction of the radon progeny were measu
The study of spin transport has emerged at the forefront of condensed matter physics during the last decade. Much of the interest has undoubtedly been sparked by the advent of the spintronics paradigm and the idea of creating novel electronic devices based on the spin degree of freedom of the carriers. However, a great deal of interest is due to the rich physics that emerges from the study of spin
Geophysics measurement techniques can be considered as non-destructive, remote methods to analyse the physical properties of geologic materials hidden at depth in the earth, within geotechnical structures or within laboratory test specimens. The objective of this paper is to highlight at least some of the potential to use geophysics methods to aid geomechanical investigations, both at the laborato

This thesis concerns estimation in partially observed continuous and discrete time Markov models and focus on both inference about the conditional distribution of the unobserved process as well as parameter inference for the dynamics of the unobserved process. Paper A concerns calibration of advanced stock price models, in particular the Bates and NIG-CIR models, using options data observed thro

Popular Abstract in English Imagine you are sunbathing on a sandy beach, while reading the latest Dan Brown book. Once the book is finished, you look at the waves and notice that in one place, they decelerate and become large. Excited by your reading, you imagine that beneath those larger waves there is a ship containing a treasure in it (most likely sunk by the Illuminati during World War II). BuThis thesis describes how photoemission stimulated by an attosecond pulse train (APT) can be used to extract information on electron correlation in simple quantum systems such as atoms. The emission of the electron by an APT induces a reorganization of the electrons remaining in the ion core. This reorganization causes a change in the trajectory of the emitted electron. An infrared (IR) field is u
