An approach involving use of a decision rule based on the principle of maximizing expected utility, together with a complementary evaluation of the decision alternatives
Considerable progress has been achieved during the last few years in the accuracy of Multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations. Recent results for light atoms include isotope shifts, hyperfine structures, and probabilities for allowed, intercombination, forbidden, and hyperfine-induced transitions. All have been computed using systematic methods which allow for an estimate of the
In this case study we analyzed the traces of spontaneous reactions of Youtube users when confronted with the short clip ’You wouldn’t Steal a Car’, that was used by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to influence people not to download copyrighted material from the Internet.

In concrete most cracks start from an uncracked surface and grow through a large portion of the depth of the specimen. Both formation and growth are influenced by stresses from imposed deformations, shrinkage, temperature etc. Thus fracture mechanics, when applied to concrete, should be able to analyse the following: 1. The formation of a crack in a specimen which is not notched or precracked. 2.
Examines the Swedish and German national anthems in the context of cultural constructions of community. The transnational interdependencies of the concepts singing, people, and nation are traced from the end of the 18th c. to the 1950s. The production, reception, and discourse of national and traditional music are discussed. The study also contains music-specific analyses of the speeches of King O
The persistence of a low productive peasant sector in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the enigmas of development research. This study approaches the question from a historical perspective by analysing the paths of agrarian change in two contrasting cases in Malawi from the mid-1930s to the late 1970s. The cases - Thyolo and Mzimba districts - with their overt differences in terms of population densit
