The near-edge fine structure of the F 1s absorption spectra of 3d metal fluorides was studied for the first time with high energy resolution. The spectra of these, the most ionic compounds of the 3d atoms, are analyzed comparing with the F 1s absorption spectrum of the molecular TiF62− anion in solid K2TiF6. The latter spectrum was afore interpreted considering the fluorine spectra of the molecula

The emphasis on the equal and eternal responsibility of subjects of different gender and social positions in M.F. Roos's dialogue books promoted a special combination of radical equality in anthropology and a conservative understanding of society. A Pietist teaching on salvation permeates the Orthodox principles on vocation in such a way, that the vocation to community life as a Christian farmer,

With the ultimate goal to study milk folate bioavailability, a reverse-phase HPLC technique was developed and compared with a radioprotein binding assay. All methods showed similar ranges for folates in cow’s milk, with the variation attributed to seasonal variations and the use of different starter cultures. Most cheese varieties contained slightly higher values for whey cream cheese. Studies usi

This paper describes national cooperation in Sweden launched by its universities and authorities, aimed at improving geodata education. These initiatives have been focused upon providing common access to geodata, the production of teaching materials in Swedish and organizing annual meetings for teachers. We argue that this type of cooperation is vital to providing high quality education for a poor

Increased use of the Internet has created new business opportunities and market channels. The pharmacy retail sector is using e-commerce to sell pharmaceuticals. In the USA over 400 different pharmacies were selling products to their customers and offering home delivery in the year 2000. The Swedish pharmaceutical industry has seen e-commerce as a new market channel and is introducing contact cent

Många människor i dagens samhälle har kunskap om en rad miljöproblem. De vet också hur miljöproblem hänger samman med mänskliga beteenden och handlingsmönster. Många känner oro för framtiden och en hel del uttrycker detta offentligt genom demonstrationer, protester i massmedia eller i samtal man och man emellan. Ändå går de allra flesta förändringar i konsumtionsmönster, handlingsmönster och livss

This licentiate thesis consists of three separate papers that investigate the effects of negotiation and renegotiation in Bertrand games. The first paper investigates collusion in an infinitely repeated Bertrand duopoly where firms have different discount factors. In order to study how a collusive agreement is reached we model the equilibrium selection as an alternating-offer bargaining game. The

A order 3-bit continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADC is presented in this paper. The design equations starting from a discrete-time reference modulator to the circuit implementation are given. The non-return to zero (NRZ) DAC pulses have a half clock cycle loopdelay which is corrected by the feedforward (also known as PI) loop delay compensation, and nonlinearities in the DACs are suppressed by data-weighted

Two unrelated individuals with autistic behavior had numerous swollen axon terminals (spheroids) located in specific brain regions relevant to their behavioral symptoms. Spheroids are characteristic of neuroaxonal dystrophy, but the clinical profile and anatomic distribution of the lesions in these two patients differed from those of previously described patients with neuroaxonal dystrophy. Sphero

A key problem in studies of bilingual linguistic cognition is how to probe the details of underlying representations in order to gauge whether bilinguals' conceptualizations differ from those of monolinguals, and if so how. This chapter provides an overview of a line of studies that rely on speech-associated gestures to explore these issues. The gestures of adult monolingual native speakers differ

Java has proven to he a powerful language for software development. In this paper we show that it is also suitable for hardware compilation, making it an attractive language for embedded system development. Our compilation technique, which is presented here, is based on separating different aspects of the program and use dedicated and specialised optimisations and code generators for each aspect.
