A three stacked power amplifier implemented in 28nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator complementary metal oxide semi-conductor technology (FDSOI CMOS) is presented. It has a differential architecture with on-chip input and output transformer baluns. The PA achieves a saturated output power level of 17.9dBm with a peak power added efficiency of 7% and an output referred gain compression point of
Swedish emergency services still have relatively limited resources and time for proactive fire prevention. Because of this, there is an extensive need for strategic working methods and knowledge to take advantage of spatial analyses. In addition, decision-making based on visualizations and analyses of their own collected data has the potential to increase the validity of strategic decisions. The o
In recent years, a subgroup of B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL) without an established abnormality (“B‐other”) has been shown to be characterized by rearrangements of ABL1 , ABL2 , CSF1R , or PDGFRB (a.k.a. ABL‐class genes). Using FISH with probes for these genes, we screened 55 pediatric and 50 adult B‐other cases. Three (6%) of the adult but none of the childhood B‐other c
The potential effects of income inequality have received much attention from researcher and policy-makers in recent years. Income inequality is found by many researchers to have negative effect on health outcomes, crime rates and long-term economic growth. Previous studies have focused mainly on developed countries due to data availability. This study aims at further investigate the hypothesis of
Background: Being able to discriminate between HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-1/2 dual infection is imperative for the appropriate selection of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in regions with high HIV-2 endemicity. Objectives: To evaluate Bio-Rad Geenius HIV-1/2 Confirmatory Assay against INNO-LIA HIV 1/2 Score and ImmunoComb HIV 1/2 BiSpot with an emphasis towards ability to discriminate between HIV-1, HIV-2
Emulsion formation by homogenization is commonly used in food production and research to increase product stability and to design colloidal structures. High-energy methods such as high-pressure homogenizers and rotor–stator mixers are the two most common techniques. However, to what extent does the research community understand the emulsion formation taking place in these devices?

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key molecular regulator of cellular metabolism, and its activity is induced by both metformin and thiazolidinedione antidiabetic medications. It has therefore been proposed both as a putative agent in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and as a valid target for therapeutic intervention. Thus, the genes that encode the various AMPK subunits are intriguin
The book has two interrelated objectives. One objective is meta-theoretical and concerns the exploration of theoretical debates connected to issues of studying society and environmental problems; another objective is empirical/analytical, referring to the analysis of "green" public participation in the electricity and waste sectors in Sweden, and partly in the Netherlands as well as the UK. The me
The objective of this study was to investigate whether the appearance of virtual human models influences observers when judging a working posture. A task in which a manikin is manually assembling a car battery was used in the experiment. In total, 16 different Pictures were presented to the subjects. All pictures had the same background, but included a unique posture and manikin appearance combina
When adopting the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly recognised the importance of good governance in reaching them. This study examines the hypothesis that good governance has an impact on the achievement of the MDGs. It does so by conducting regression analysis on the impact of good governance on the MDG indicators for water and sanitation. The
The thesis sets out to explore how fans understand and respond to celebrity mobilization on social media. In March 2017, a famous Chinese singer Xue ZhiQian reposted a controversial weibo on Chinese social platform Sina Weibo. His involvement in news circulation and his mobilization on civilized behavior set off a huge wave on the Internet and highly triggered public concern about celebrity behavi
Som en del av innovationsarbetet och tillväxten inom Axis, har rörelsedetektering med hjälp av ny teknik utforskats. Genom sin utveckling har, bilindustrin sänkt kostnaderna på RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) sensorer, vilket gör dem till en attraktiv hårdvara att inkludera i övervakningskameror och dess system. Men, hur kan den nya hårdvaran förbättra övervakning och ge slutanvändaren en bättAs a part of the innovation and growth within the Axis, object detection with new technology is explored. The car industry is lowering the costs on RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) chipsets, making them a viable hardware to incorporate within a surveillance camera device. How can the new hardware improve surveillance and provide the end user with an enhanced experience? One challenge is to grap
Problem What growth potential and possibilities for development exists for Third Party Logistics companies on the European market? What are the Key Success Factors? What threats exists? How have the leading Third Party Logistics providers in Europe attained their market position and what internal and external resources can they exploit for further development? Purpose Investigate and explore promi
This paper investigates if the importance of sunk costs differs between markets with different exchange rate risk. First, it examines the importance of sunk costs on the export participation decision by estimating the effect the previous export status has on the current export decision. Second, it analyses the effects of product-market characteristics on the export participation decision. Third, i
