We consider the Hopfield model on graphs. Specifically we compare five different incomplete graphs on 4 or 5 vertices’s including a cycle, a path and a star. Provided is a proof of the Hamiltonian being monotonically decreasing under asynchronous network dynamics. This result is applied to the treated incomplete graphs to derive exact values for the incre- mental drop in energy on pattern sizes 2,

Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. Research has started to address how finance can support the low-carbon transition, but little is known about how the financial sector itself perceives this transition. This thesis seeks to 1) ident

Avväpna tumörvänliga makrofager för att bekämpa cancer Cancer är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att människor dör i värden idag.

Biooljor kontra fossila eldningsoljor i teoretisk modell av oljepanna Vad händer ur ett energiperspektiv om man teoretiskt använder biooljor istället för fossila eldningsoljor i en oljepanna designad för spetslast i fjärrvärmenätet? I dagens samhälle är intresset för att fasa ut den fossila oljan stort. Särskilt eftersom fossil eldningsolja i dagsläget ofta används för spets- och reservlastpannor This report presents how a theoretical model of an oil-fired boiler is built. This model is built in one dimension and includes heat transfer due to convection and gas radiation from gas to a surface, conduction through a metal and convection from a surface to a liquid. The model is used to analyse how different oil fuels, both fossil and bio-based oils, affects the plant. With the assumptions and

Arend Lijpharts Consociational Democracy är en av de mest etablerade demokratimodellerna vars syfte är att minska polarisering i etniskt diversifierade samhällen. Uppsatsen ämnar därför undersöka förenligheten mellan Lijpharts maktdelningsmodell och konstitutionen i ett valt fall - Bosnien och Hercegovina för att sedan utvärdera huruvida modellen inverkat på den etniska polariseringen i landet sed

Plastic is harming life below the water surface as well as land-living animals, including ourselves. It is now a part of our food chain and it’s in our drinking water.

Therefore, research on shadow IT and IT consumerization notes the transformative impact of SaaS on organizational

Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet skatteflykt och syftar till att försöka fastställa innebörden av begreppet med hjälp av den generellt utformade klausulen i skatteflyktslagen. EU-rätten studeras även då ett nytt s.k. skatteflyktsdirektiv sedan 1 januari i år gjorts gällande för EU:s medlemsländer. De frågor som uppsatsen svarar på är, förutom hur skatteflykt definieras i nationell respektive EU-rätt,The purpose of this paper is to define the term ”tax evasion” and determine the meaning of the General Anti Avoidance Rules, in both national law and European law.
