This thesis examines the creative appropriation of Shakespeare in theory and practice. It is based on close readings of King Lear alongside three appropriations of the play in works of fiction by three North American women writers: Jane Smiley, Anne Tyler, and Margaret Atwood. The aim is to demonstrate how a ‘palimpsestic’ reading, i.e. a reading in which the reader oscillates between ‘pre-text’ a

We study the associated production of a charged Higgs and a W boson in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC. This is an interesting process for charged Higgs discovery, or exclusion, since the production cross section could depend strongly on the model, offering potential discriminating power between supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with minimal or extended Higgs sectors. We compute

A general expression containing all the divergences in Chiral Perturbation Theory at one loop for anomalous processes has been calculated. The nonrenormalization of some amplitudes (Adler-Bardeen theorem) is observed. The different types of corrections are identified. The contributions from vector meson exchange are determined for all anomalous processes. Explicit cancellation of divergences is sh

ConspectusThe photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes (TMCs) has long been a hot field of interdisciplinary research. Rich metal-based redox processes, together with a high variety in electronic configurations and excited-state dynamics, have rendered TMCs excellent candidates for interconversion between light, chemical, and electrical energies in intramolecular, supramolecul

The notion that academic research creates societal benefits is widely recognised. However, there are varying perceptions of what such benefits may include, and diverse ideas regarding the ways in which they are created. Some research policy actors expect academic research to generate tangible and direct outputs related to commercialisation, such as spin‐off companies, patents and licences. Others

Amyloid protein aggregation results in major disturbances of cellular processes in humans. The most common amyloid-related disorders are Alzheimer´s disease and Parkinson´s disease. Parkinson´s disease is charaterized by the formation of protein-rich aggregates that are deposited in neurons, termed Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. The main component identified in these protein-rich deposits is the pAmyloid protein aggregation results in major disturbances of cellular processes in humans.

This paper employs an inductive case study to explore the relevance of the family functions in the opportunity creation process by immigrant entrepreneurs. We employ the perspective of the opportunity creation process and the family functions for theory building purposes. We conducted four cases of immigrant entrepreneurs who established businesses in Sweden and that have their origins in Lebanon

Attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range are today routinely generated via high-order harmonic generation (HHG), when intense ultrashort laser pulses are focused into a gaseous generation medium. The effect is most easily understood in a semi-classical picture [1]. An electron can tunnel ionize from the distorted atomic potential, pick up kinetic energy in the laser field,

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has during the recent years become a frequently used technique in radiotherapy. Lately IMRT has also been combined with rotational beam delivery, with a simultaneously moving couch, a technique called tomotherapy. The great benefit with this treatment method is the ability to give highly conformal treatments, with high dose to the tumour, while sparing

Syftet med studien var att analysera den kringliggande problematiken för energiproducenters beslutsfattningsprocess när de utvärderar investeringar i energieffektiviseringsåtgärder för uppvärmningssystem i vattenkraftsbaserade produktionsenheter i Sverige. Studien har utgått ifrån de dokumenterade barriärerna för investeringar i energieffektiviseringsåtgärder och applicerar konceptet om EnvironmenThe purpose of this study was to analyze the problems surrounding the decision making process for a energy producer when dealing with (potential) energy efficiency measures. This work creates the basis of a investment prioritizing structure directed at heating systems within Swedish hydro power based production facilities managed by Vattenfall. The research was called for by Vattenfall, as the org

Foundations of buildings and structures are laid with various methods, both deep and shallow foundations. Piling is the most common method of deep foundations while spread footings are often used in shallow foundations, especially in buildings with column frame. An alternative is to use a composite pile foundation where piles and spread footings or piles and a base slab are used to carry the loads

This thesis deals primarily with the production of written texts by adults with reading and writing difficulties. Their writing is analysed from three different aspects: error analysis, non-error-oriented text analysis and analysis of the production process. These studies are based on data from on-line recordings of writing. The main question is how the written language production of adults with r
