We present novel developments for the highly efficient evaluation of complex linear response functions of a multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) wave function as implemented in MultiPsi. Specifically, expressions for the direct evaluation of linear response properties at given frequencies using the complex polarization propagator (CPP) approach have been implemented, within both the
We report on measurements of a charge-dependent flow using a novel three-particle correlator with ALICE in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and discuss the implications for observation of local parity violation and the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) in heavy-ion collisions. Charge-dependent flow is reported for different collision centralities as a function of the event charge
Notch signalling occurs via direct cell-cell interactions and plays an important role in linking the fates of neighbouring cells. There are four different mammalian Notch receptors that can be activated by five cell surface ligands. The ability to inhibit specific Notch receptors would help identify the roles of individual family members and potentially provide a means to study and control cell di
It is unclear whether wave setup exists in river entrances and previous studies have shown that it is virtually non-existent in trained river entrances. However, conclusive studies have not been made on semi-trained and untrained river entrances. In this study, two field surveys were conducted in Australia; one at Wonboyn Lake Estuary, New South Wales, and one at Tallebudgera Creek Estuary, Queens
Ultrasound is used after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of gallbladder stones to assess fragmentation. In many patients with apparently successful fragmentation, the posttreatment studies show an intraluminal, echogenic focus within the gallbladder, with posterior acoustic shadowing characteristic of an intact stone. Cholesterol gallstones were fragmented in vitro by means of lithotripsy, a
This is the first part of a series of papers devoted to direct and inverse scattering of transient waves in lossy inhomogeneous media. The medium is assumed to be stratified, i.e., it varies only with depth. The wave propagation is modeled in an electromagnetic case with spatially varying permittivity and conductivity. The objective in this first paper is to analyze properties of the scattering op
The infrastructure for the third generation of mobile telephony, UMTS, is under construction in Sweden. Within three years four operators were to build competing systems to cover 99,98 % of the population. The case of the 3G infrastructure illustrates how the sustainability issues are handled in planning and environmental management, with conflicting goals between institutional levels and compet
Located in the Baltic Sea coast, the study area, Falsterbo peninsula is in the south-west corner of Sweden and a very low-lying area, which makes it very vulnerable to a future sea-level rise phenomenon and wave action. High water levels and large waves and run-up heights in connection with the global warming can cause serious damages within the area, which is a very prestigious place regarding it
We investigate unified models where all small quantities in the fermion mass matrices are given in terms of one small ratio of symmetry breaking scales. We describe for a U(1) generation symmetry how the size of masses and mixings is determined, including possible contributions from heavy mirror quarks and leptons. This can be used for computerized model scanning. We search for realistic mass patt
Globally, solar projects are being rapidly built or planned, particularly in high solar potential regions with high energy demand. However, their energy generation potential is highly related to the weather condition. Here we use state-of-the-art Earth system model simulations to investigate how large photovoltaic solar farms in the Sahara Desert could impact the global cloud cover and solar gener
A central element of assimilation theory is that increasing time and number of previous immigrant generations in a host country leaves immigrants and their children more integrated and capable of navigating the host society. However, the underperformance of some immigrant groups in Sweden calls into question this relationship. Additionally, many studies regard intermarriage as an outcome of immigr
Radio links in wireless mesh networks (WMN) can select one of several modulation and coding schemes (MCS). A MCS assignment influences links data rates and their mutual interference, and therefore should be optimized. We consider joint optimization of link rate assignment and transmission scheduling in order to maximize the minimal flow in a WMN. One of the main difficulties stems from the require
Popular Abstract in Swedish Radiella gliaceller kan inte bara skapa nervceller utan även inverka gynnsamt på deras mognad. En ny avhandling vid Lunds universitet visar att gliaceller bidrar mer aktivt till nervcellernas utveckling än man tidigare trott. Enbart en transportled för omogna nervceller. Det har länge varit de radiella gliacellernas lott. Men det är inte hela sanningen enligt CharlottaThe current thesis is aimed to increase our understanding of the generation and differentiation of telencephalic neurons, with emphasis on the role of glial cells in these processes. Using in vitro methods we have studied the role of glial cells in neurogenesis, inheritance of genetic regional specification, and influence on differentiation of neurons. We demonstrate that expanded cell cultures ex
Electrical machine production is a multi-disciplinary area, comprising traditional mechanical processes such as sheet metal cutting, chemical processes for insulation and electrical for the working principles. In manufacturing, high throughput automation of coilwinding and sheet-cutting is combined with complex assembly, such as slotting the coils, often performed manually, but with increasing int
Particle generation from humans is a severe problem when working in cleanrooms and other controlled environments. Data regarding the number of particles generated by humans are few and there are no detailed references as to how these studies have been performed. An experimental method to determine the particle release from a human being in a cleanroom was developed and used to describe the variati
Blue light was generated at room temperature by quasiphase-matched second harmonic generation in planar and channel lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) annealed proton exchange waveguides using the d33 nonlinear coefficient. Alternating ferroelectric domains for third order quasiphase matching were created by poling the substrates with a periodic electric field.
The out-migration of adolescents and its ensuing consequences, such as rising costs in infrastructure, are a central concern for most rural municipalities in Germany today. This thesis is inspired by and based on the youth participation process titled “Jetzt rede ich!” (in English: “I am talking now!”), which aimed to answer the question of how a municipality in northern Germany can keep youth and
