This thesis describes a method for concluding attributes of a star (including ages, temperatures, chemical element abundances) from its spectra. The method was developed by the 4MOST (4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) consortium. How the model outputs stellar attributes by receiving spectra is too complicated to be included in one thesis, so only introductions of numerical methods whic
Studiens avsikt är att undersöka den information man kan få fram med hjälp av undersökningsinstrumenten, Adult Attachment Interview och Inventory of Interpersonal Problems och syftar till att belysa dessas användbarhet i en klinisk kontext. Studien bygger på både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod, vilket innebär, semistrukturerade intervjuformulär, fallbeskrivning samt självskattningsformulär. Stud
The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. Hexyl hexanoate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog hexyl isobutyrate (CAS # 2349-07-7) show that hexyl hexanoate is not
Purpose: The pin fin is applied into a Lamilloy cooling structure which is broadly used in the leading edge region of the modern gas turbine vane. The purpose of this paper is to investigate effects of the layout, diameter and shape of pin fins on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in a newly improved Lamilloy structure at the leading edge region of a turbine vane. Design/methodo
We demonstrate that the detected emission intensity from YOYO-labeled DNA molecules confined in 180 nm deep Si/SiO2 nanofunnels changes significantly and not monotonically with the width of the funnel, an emission enhancement that is only detected for emitted light polarized parallel to the channel. We explain the enhancement effect as being due to optical phenomena in the channels. The enhancemen
Agriculture is vulnerable to the interannual climate variability and to its unpredictability, in such a way that most agricultural decisions taken within the time horizon of several months are made in a conservative manner, supposing a near-pessimist scenario. The improvement of climate prediction may help the strategic view, mitigating unwanted impacts and taking advantage of favorable conditions
This thesis examines to what extent the comprehensive municipal risk and vulnerability analysis work as a basis for decision-making concerning risk and vulnerability reducing measures in eight Swedish municipalities. An additional objective is to identify mechanisms influencing the decision-making process regarding such measures. In order to meet these objectives an interview study was conducted i
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda hur en organisation kan främja och tillvarata sin kreativa potential. För att finna svar på frågeställningen tog vi till en början till oss litteratur inom kreativitets-, organisations- och förändringsområdena och identifierade därigenom åtta viktiga, återkommande faktorer för att främja och tillvarata kreativitet. Dessa är vision, kontinuitet, delaktighet, mångf
We identify the socioeconomic determinants of three levels of antenatal care (ANC) visits (no, intermediate [1–3], and recommended [≥4]) in Bangladesh using a behavior model framework for health care utilization. Using multinomial logistic regression, we found that different levels of visits had different determinants; for example, media exposure increased the likelihood of intermediate compared w
Enligt vår empiri kan lärande uppstå även i nätverk som inte är skapade med grundtanke att lära. Nätverksplattformen är en viktig grund för att lärandet ska kunna utvecklas, vi ser dock lite annorlunda på tid och resurser då teorin säger att den är tidskrävande, medan vi menar motsatsen. Vi anser även att Nätverksplattformen behöver kompletteras. Här utgör bland annat struktur och rutiner en vikti
I skönlitterär prosa förekommer det strängt taget enbart tre olika temporala texttyper: narration (berättande text, relation), citat (alltså dialog) och berättarens nutid (dvs. passager där en berättare talar i egen sak), och det finns bara två finita tempus att välja emellan: presens och preteritum. Det kan tyckas som om de skönlitterära författarna har ett snävt spelrum att operera inom. Men det
With regard to efficient food processing and cost effective production lines, Radio Frequency (RF) heating is a prime example. Thermal processing of food has gained an ever growing importance as food manufactures strive after increasing the number and quality of value added products on the market. Solid food, such as meat and vegetables, is more difficult to heat efficiently since it cannot be pum
As the need to limit the effect of climate change gets stronger, the transition to sustainable energy solutions becomes very important. Solar thermal energy and green hydrogen production represent two quite promising sustainable fields towards decarbonizing industrial processes and energy sectors. This thesis presents an extensive simulation and performance analysis of a solar thermal energy syste
