Many important scientific phenomena require ultra-fast imaging to understand and investigate the characteristics of the event. Current methods of ultra-fast imaging that can obtain femtosecond time resolution rely on repeatable events or limiting the techniques versatility by completely remove the use of a dimension e.g. colour. FRAME is a novel technique which allows for ultra-fast imaging in the

The Yaw Power Backup System (YPBS) is a safety system that needs to be incorporated in the Wind Power Plant (WPP) in order to provide emergency power during a power outage. The YPBS enables the Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) to perform a yawing operation in extreme weather conditions. The yawing operation ensures the rotor is aligned with incoming wind, minimizing the acting forces on the blades and

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vad en kreativ lärmiljö innebär för elever på det estetiska programmet i musik. Vidare avser studien att ta reda på vilka faktorer som påverkar den kreativa lärmiljön för att förstå hur en sådan miljö kan skapas i skolan. Bakgrunden till studien är författarens eget intresse för hur den fysiska miljön kan uppmuntra eller hämma kreativitet samt en ökad efterfrThis study aims to investigate what a creative learning environment means for music students in upper secondary school.

The background to the study is the author's own interest in how the physical environment can

The European Commission stresses the importance of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) for the European economy. SMEs are held to be the "backbone" of the European industry and their prosperity will enable the EU to reach the Lisbon strategy's goals about growth and competitiveness. Yet large enterprises are normally seen as the influential business interests in European policy

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study the public library identity from a brand perspective, how the public library brand identitity is communicated through blogs and what is communicated in them. The authors analyse the public library identity through selected concepts and a model within Aaker´s and Kapferer´s branding theories. These theories have been applied on literature and blogs a

In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch

The purpose of this study is to explore how relationship benefits and sacrifices matter in relation to members of referral networks and how these aspects affect overall member satisfaction. This study has an explanatory research approach since it aims to, by testing hypotheses; explain the impact relationship benefits and sacrifices have on satisfaction. It is based on both qualitative and quantit

Background In traditional retailing, where the challenge lies in providing goods in a store with limited space while minimizing tied up capital and obsolescence, good inventory management is often an important competitive advantage. However, the emergence of the online channel changes some of the challenges, and the associated requirements on inventory management. These dierences are studied in th

The importance of investing in low-tech industries has been underestimated for a long time because of its low R&D input to output ratio. But in reality, so-called high-tech industries only account for 3 per cent of value added in the OECD, while low-tech industries, such as the food industry, indeed do not lack the opportunities of benefiting from innovation. The driving forces of innovation h

While there is a housing shortage in Sweden the global warming continues across the globe, according to IPCC. In order to lessen the global warming sustainable development is needed. Sustainable buildings are a part of the goal to achieve sustainable development within the building industry. “God bebyggd miljö” is one of the environmental quality goals in Sweden. SGBC works actively toward this go

I utkanten av Malmö ligger en övergiven militär skjutbana i anslutning till friluftsområdet Husie mosse. Vid en första anblick ser området inte mycket ut för världen med sin sparsamma växtlighet, diverse sopor och inte sällan en eller ett par utbrända mopedkadaver. För den som beger sig till den solbelysta sydsluttningen finns det dock mycket att upptäcka: fjärilar, bivargar och inte minst sandödlIn the outskirts of Malmö, Sweden a small population of sand lizard Lacerta agilis resides in a disused shooting range close to the recreation area known as Husie mosse. This species is listed in the national swedish red list as vulnerable and is declining throughout most of northwestern Europe. It is therefore included in The Habitats Directive, a European Union directive which aims to protect th

Mesh networks are highly relevant and interesting today considering all the connected devices that exists. These devices often aim to have low power consumption to be able to be powered by smaller power sources such as solar cells or batteries. The hardware used by mesh networks often has the same purpose, to minimize power consumption. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an increased underst

The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-indigenous species to the Baltic Sea that has drawn the attention of many researchers in the last decade due to its rapid spreading and its impact on the local fauna. With recent concerns about the dispersal of the round goby towards the North Sea, the aim of this study was to determine if the native shore crab could compete with the invaders and pr

A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared indWhat makes beer foam stable? Beer is one of the most beloved beverages all over the world. When we think about a good beer, we end up with beer foam. This is because the foam prevents releasing of aroma and gives a good texture when drinking. Beer foam is a mixture of air and liquid containing beer components such as ethanol, proteins, hop acids and other nutrients. Beer proteins are from the bar
