The de Branges spaces of entire functions generalize the classical Paley-Wiener space of square summable bandlimited functions. Specifically, the square norm is computed on the real line with respect to weights given by the values of certain entire functions. For the Paley-Wiener space, this can be chosen to be an exponential function where the phase increases linearly. As our main result, we esta
GALAH is a large-scale magnitude-limited southern stellar spectroscopic survey. Its second data release (GALAH DR2) provides values of stellar parameters and abundances of 23 elements for 342 682 stars (Buder et al.). Here we add a description of the public release of radial velocities with a typical accuracy of 0.1 km s -1
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pi-konjugerade polymerer är ett viktigt slag av material. För det första så har det många eftertraktade fysikaliska egenskaper som förmågan att leda elektrisk ström, omvandla elektriska laddningar till ljus, eller omvänt, omvandla ljus till elektricitet. Dessa material tillämpas redan i stor utsträckning i dag som i exempelvis plattskärms-TV (OLED) och i mobiltelefoner.Π-conjugated polymers are an important class of materials which can be used in e.g. photoelectric (solar cells) or electroluminescent (displays) devices. These materials are implemented in a number of applications these days since a lot is already known about them. There is, however, still a lot to learn in order to increase the efficiency and reduce the power consumption of devices. There are man
This master thesis is about Kärnan, which is a medieval tower that is situated in Helsingborg. Kärnan was built during the beginning of the 14th century and was part of Helsingborg’s castle that belonged to the Danish king. This thesis investigates how the tower was used and which people were living and running the castle and how the castle affected the surrounding landscape. Fief holder were runn
Objective: To evaluate hand and arm function and its association with motor symptoms as well as activities of daily living (ADL) in de novo Parkinson’s disease (PD).Background: Motor symptoms and disability in upper limb are common in PD and usually assessed using Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS). Activities, like reaching, grasping, manipulating objects, writing, dressing, and eating, may be more
Many fish depend primarily on their tail beat for propulsion. Such a tail is commonly modeled as a two-dimensional flapping foil. Here we demonstrate a novel experimental setup of such a foil that heaves and pitches in a soap film. The vortical flow field generated by the foil correlates with thickness variations in the soap film, which appear as interference fringes when the film is illuminated w
A concept based on photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PFLIF) is for the first time demonstrated for simultaneous detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water (H2O) vapor in various mixtures containing the two constituents in a bath of argon gas. A photolysis laser pulse at 248 nm dissociates H2O2 into OH fragments, whereupon a probe pulse, delayed 100 ns and tuned to an absorption l
Two-dimensional visualization of soot has been realized in flames with the use of laser-induced fluorescence in C2 from laser-vaporized soot [LIF(C2)LVS]. Soot particles are heated to vaporization temperatures by the absorption of laser radiation. C2 radicals produced by this process are excited at wavelengths around 563 nm through the transition ν′ = 0 d3∏g←ν″ = 1 a3∏u, and the subsequent fluores
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling och tillämpning av laserfragmentationsteknik för visualisering av väteperoxider Laserinducerad fluorescens är en etablerad optisk mätmetod för kemiskt specifik detektion och avbildning med tillämpning inom fysik, kemi och biologi. Tekniken bygger på att molekyler ska absorbera laserljus och sedan spontant sända ut ljus som kan detekteras. Det finns dock mångaThe work presented in this thesis is mainly motivated by the need for an optical diagnostic technique which can be used to visualize hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in its gas phase. Due to the lack of bound electronic states, H2O2 cannot be detected using laser-induced fluorescence based on electronic excitation. Absorption in the ultraviolet leads to photodissociation. Thus a technique called photofrag
Detailed characterization of the unsteady combustion behaviors of individual aluminum (Al) droplets is scarce, due to the experimental challenges in resolving the transient phenomena at the micrometer scale. In this work, we spatiotemporally elucidate the complex interplay, including droplet coalescence, eruption, and fragmentation, of individually burning Al droplets and alumina (Al2O3) products,
We explore the fundamental relations governing the radial and vertical velocity dispersions of stars in the Milky Way, from combined studies of complementary surveys including GALAH, LAMOST, APOGEE, the NASA Kepler and K2 missions, and Gaia DR2. We find that different stellar samples, even though they target different tracer populations and employ a variety of age estimation techniques, follow the
We demonstrated the use of a neutron grating interferometer setup (nGI) with a significantly improved contrast-to-noise ratio of the operando dark-field (DF) contrast visualization of water in gas diffusion media (GDM). The nGI parameters were optimized in such a way that we could perform DF imaging of a fully operational fuel cell including two GDM layers (anode and cathode side). The DF contrast
