We present the results of dynamic in-situ 3D X-ray imaging of methane hydrates microstructure during methane hydrate formation and dissociation in sand samples. Short scanning times and high resolution provided by synchrotron X-rays allowed for better understanding of water movement and different types of gas-hydrate formation. Complementing previous observations, we conclude that the process of g

XUV multiphoton ionization of molecules is commonly used in free-electron laser experiments to study charge transfer dynamics. However, molecular dissociation and electron dynamics, such as multiple photon absorption, Auger decay, and charge transfer, often happen on competing time scales, and the contributions of individual processes can be difficult to unravel. We experimentally investigate the

This work presents dynamic state writing by combining ferroelectric (FE) polarization together with charge injection (CI) on Si-based ferroelectric MOSFETs as a novel approach for non-volatile memory design. FE capacitors are non-destructively integrated in the Back-End-of-Line (BEOL) with Si MOSFETs to create FE-Metal-FETs (FeMFETs). We explore the FE/MOS area ratio (AR) as a critical design para

A novel flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) model is introduced, encompassing ignition and flame propagation in ammonia/n-heptane dual-fuel combustion under reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine conditions. To generate the FGM mapping function (FGM tabulation) accounting for multiple combustion modes in RCCI combustion, a novel one-dimensional RCCI configuration (1D-RC) is propose

The chiral bile salt sodium cholate has been covalently linked to tetra-aryl-porphyrins, conferring them an extrinsic chirality and obtaining new molecules with high tendency to aggregate in solution. The chirality transfer from the molecular to the nano- and meso-scale has been investigated by promoting the self-assembly of the conjugates balancing the ratio of aqueous/organic solvent mixtures an

Although the two active redox centers in Li-rich cathodes, including the anionic and cationic contributions, can enable Li-ion batteries to achieve outstanding specific energy, their behaviors at different current densities have not been clarified. Here, we provide a comparative study of transition metals (TMs) and oxygen redox activities by directly accessing their oxidation states in Li-rich mat

This chapter examines the human search, understanding, and interpretation of biosignatures. It deals with four epistemological issues in the search for signs of life in outer space: (1) conceptualization, how we form concepts of life in astrobiology, how we define and categorize things, and the relation between our concepts and our knowledge of the world; (2) analogy, how we see similarities betwe

The computerization of government transactions results in dramatic increase in growth of data across government agencies. This data is presented, generated, maintained and used independently in each government department and agencies which leads to poor decisions and isolated planning. This environment hinders effective access to data, reuse and aggregation, so that decision makers can get useful

The purpose of this paper is to try to clarify what responsibility parents have for their children and what the duty of supervision to prevent the child from causing damages for third party means. I will further try to find explanations why the duty of supervision has not achieved the intended preventive effect. Internationally the denomination parental responsibility is used often. Schiratzki has

Using derivative securities can help investors increase their expected returns as well as minimize their exposure to risk. For a risk-averse investor, options can oer both insurance and leverage and for a more risk-loving investor they can be used as speculation. Basket option is a kind of option whose payo depends on an arbitrary portfolio of assets. The basket is made out of a weighted sum of as

Mainstreampornography is a widespread phenomena through the accessibility of internet and is a polarized debate regarding what it produces and how it effects people. The aim of this thesis is to make women’s experience visibile in the maintreampornography debates and how it has shaped and effected women in their daily heterosexual practices with men. A qualitative method has been used, where six

Denna studie ämnar att behandla förhållandet mellan Bilia Jägersros ledning och medarbetare under perioden 2012 till 2017, då företaget genomförde en organisationsförändring. Det som intresserade oss var hur ledningens och medarbetarnas kommunikation och interaktion påverkade denna förändring. Vårt fokus ligger med andra ord i att integrera de båda perspektiven vid en organisationsförändring. För This study aims to describe the relationship between Bilia Jägersro's management and employees during the period of 2012 to 2017, when the company conducted an organizational change. We were interested in studying how the management and employees' communication and interaction affected this change. In other words, our focus is to integrate the two perspectives within an organizational chan

Disposable hygiene products, such as gloves and aprons, are commonly and frequently used in healthcare environments and are essential to maintain the hygiene standard. They are placed in different types of carriers, primarily in examination rooms and are mounted on the walls. This creates some difficulties for product development and fast access because not all hygiene products fit all carriers an

The idea of orienting the design process towards the well-being of the patient is not something new in the world of architecture. That the form follows the function is usually but what must be taken into account is the dynamics of the process of understanding human needs. With each day that passes, complex changes of different kinds affect the human being and society as a whole in an unalterable t

This bachelor’s thesis explores assimilation of low-code technologies post-adoption within organisations. Through a qualitative approach involving nine semi-structured interviews, which were analysed thematically and discussed with resource-based theory, two distinct uses of low-code technologies are identified: as a technical facilitator for fast and cost-effective software development, and as a

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Swedish female foodies practice their food hobby while living in rural areas. A qualitative study was conducted with an inductive approach, using food diaries and semi-structured in depth interviews. This study is part of a larger Foodie research study conducted by Sofia Ulver. Our theoretical perspective has its starting point in Consumer Culture

This paper is arguing that China’s political and economic opening in 1978, also referred to as China’s open door policy, was initiated by a change within China’s institutions affecting the political as well as the economic system. Since the opening in 1978 up until today (2012), constant economic reforms and developments as well as political progress can be observed. Domestic examples of China’s p

During the past year my academic career has been rather different than the years before. In my undergraduate studies of economics & business economics, a mixture of different disciplines like microeconomics, marketing, organizational theory and finance, all I needed to worry about was to make sure I would pass the courses. I found that a rather unsatisfying way of studying; grades didn’t motiv

Since the introduction of the co-decision procedure in the European Union (EU), the Council of the EU and the European Parliament have become more interdependent in order to reach an agreement on a legislative file. The interdependence has led to a significant increase in the number of trilogues, which is problematic as these informal meetings are secluded and have no references to the treaties. D
