A motion of an object is controlled from a geostationary transit orbit (GTO) of an earth to an orbit of a moon. A first trajectory of the motion of the object is determined from an intermediate orbit of an earth to a neighborhood of a stable manifold of a first Lagrange point (L1). A second trajectory of the motion of the object is determined from the GTO to the intermediate orbit. A third traject
Thanks to the fierce competition and the globalization of markets as well as compa¬nies, supply chain management has emerged as one of the most urgent manage¬rial issues in business today. This thesis is devoted to one aspect of this vast problem area - the coordinated management/control of supply chain inventories. The objective is: To develop methods and models for coordinated inventory contro
Aging exerts profound effects on the hematopoietic system, leading to a loss of homeostatic control and reduced regenerative capacity. Clinical consequences of these changes include anemia, compromised immune function and an increased prevalence of myeloid disorders among the elderlies. A growing body of evidence suggests that defects at the stem and progenitor cell levels contribute to many of th
European Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIs) on the ESFRI level are core facilities for providing data, research products and services from the four subdomains of Earth system science – Atmosphere, Marine, Solid Earth, and Biodiversity/Terrestrial Ecosystems. The ENVRI Cluster represents the core component of the European environmental research infrastructure landscape, with the ENVRI
Catalytic processes are present in a wide range of aspects, from fundamental biological processes to modern chemical synthesis. In practical terms, catalysis has thrived as a rapidly growing industry. However, a significant gap in our understanding of catalytic processes exists between the molecular and industrial scales, arising from the complexity at the nano- and micro-levels of catalytic nanop
In patients unsuitable for standard, infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) due to an inadequate or inappropriate infrarenal neck, various options have been proposed to achieve a suitable endovascular repair. The primary objective in this setting is to move the endograft sealing zone to a healthier, more cranial segment of the aorta. The need for a solution for problematic proximal neck an
The robust Capon beamformer has been shown to alleviate the problem of signal cancellation resulting from steering vector errors, caused, e.g., by calibration and/or angle- of-arrival errors, which would otherwise seriously deteriorate the performance of an adaptive beamformer. Here, we examine robust Capon beamforming of multi-dimensional arrays, where robustness to angle-of-arrival errors is nee
We examine consumer certainty of future preferences and overconfidence in predicting future preferences. We explore how preference certainty and overconfidence impact the option value to revise today's decisions in the future. We design a laboratory experiment that creates a controlled choice environment, in which a subject's choice set (over food snacks) is known and constant over time, and the t
Complex formation between [Pd(H2O)(4)](2+) and oxalate (ox = C2O42-) has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous solution at variable temperature, ionic strength and pH. Thermodynamic parameters at 298.2 K and 1.00 mol dm(-3) HCIO4 ionic medium for the complex formation [Pd(H2O)(4)](2+) + H(2)ox (sic) Pd(H2O)(2)(ox)] + 2H(3)O(+) with equilibrium constant K-1H (in mol dm(-3)) are logio K-1,K
Introduction: Mammography is one of the most common X-ray examinations although it is well-known that the anatomical background of the breast is the main obstacle when it comes to detection of breast lesions with this method. Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional radiographic technique which, to a large extent, can suppress the confounding effect of the anatomical background. Tomosynthesis is a str
This thesis describes the development of new laser-based techniques for nanometre lithography and microscopy. The potential of a non-intrusive scanned near-field optical microscope (SNOM) has been investigated. The probe consists of an optically trapped microscopic particle which is scanned in proximity to the object to be studied. Compared with conventional SNOM's, this probe would allow high-res
