Allt fler organisationer med en house of brands arkitektur, vilket kännetecknas av att företagsvarumärket döljs bakom flertalet olika fristående, välkända produktvarumärken, har på senare tid lagt ner stora resurser på att kommunicera det övergripande företagsvarumärket.

In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference.
