Popular Abstract in Swedish De möjliga energinivåerna en elektron kan befinna sig i är olika för olika atomer och joner, en atom där en eller flera elektroner kastats ut. Detta kommer att medföra att det utsända ljuset, spektret, från en atom/jon kommer att vara unik för varje atom/jon, på samma sätt som vi människor har var sitt unikt fingeravtryck. Om man tittar upp på stjärnhimlen en klar vintNew measurements of the elements Ba, Fe, Ga, In and Ru are reported. The analysis of barium contains new wavelengths, improved energy level values and new values of the ionization limit in both Ba I and Ba II. Oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes in Fe II, as a part of the FERRUM project, are reported. The gallium analysis includes new wavelengths, ab initio calculated oscillator st

In this study, we will analyse the acquisition of subject pronouns in French and the distribution of Null subjects in early stages of language acquisition. We will contrast bilingual first language acquisition (2L1) and adult second language acquisition (L2). In both cases, Swedish is present as one of the two languages of the bilingual children, and as source language for the L2 learners. We wil

In this paper we propose a practical and efficient method for finding the globally optimal solution to the problem of pose estimation of a known object. We present a framework that allows us to use both point-to-point, point-to-line and point-to-plane correspondences in the optimization algorithm. Traditional methods such as the iterative closest point algorithm may get trapped in local minima due

In this paper we provide some early evidence of a link between the iTraxx credit default swap (CDS) index market and the stock market. To our knowledge this is the first paper studying this relationship. Knowledge about the link between stock prices, stock return volatilities and CDS spreads is important not only for risk managers using credit default swaps for hedging purposes, but also to anyone

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer är uppbyggda av celler. Antalet celler varierar, från encelliga organismer, t ex jäst, till flercelliga organismer, som t ex djur och växter. För att en cell ska fungera och utvecklas måste cellen hålla den inre miljön relativt konstant trots kanske stora variationer i miljön utanför. För att kunna göra detta har celler utvecklat system för att tIn plants, 14-3-3 proteins are key regulators of primary metabolism and membrane transport. It was previously thought that the 14-3-3 isoforms were not very specific with regard to target proteins, but more recent data suggest that the specificity may be high. Therefore, identification, localization, and characterization of all 14-3-3 isoforms in the model plant Arabidopsis are important. We ident

To predict the effects of environmental change and nature management on the distribution of plant species, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of plant niche differentiation and habitat specialization. The importance to habitat specialization of particular plant traits and requirement of the regenerative phase of the plants life has received scanty interest. Our experiments on seed germinat

During the last years, costs for power interruptions to customers have increased and from 2011 a new legislation will not allow power interruptions longer than 24 hours. Electric power utilities are facing important costs to decrease the likelihood of power interruption in the future. Island operation of distribution systems is not commonly employed in Sweden, also for safety reasons. The penetrat

This thesis describes the physical chemistry of softwood kraft lignin in aqueous alkaline solutions. Both fundamental and applicational aspects are discussed. Kraft lignin originates either from pulp fibres or from black liquor produced by kraft cooking. In wood, the lignin is an anionic macromolecular colloid of relatively high molecular mass that is gradually depolymerised under the kraft cook.

The intention of this study is to question the supposed self-evident connection between sickness and sin in the individual complaint psalms. On the basis of a careful analysis of the psalms which contain the three motifs divine absence, divine wrath, and man’s guilt, the author problematizes this aspect of the exegetical literature’s widespread interpretation of the theological dimension of illnes

We analyze the effects of the increase in China’s import competition on Mexican domestic and international migration. We exploit the variation in exposure to competition from China, following its accession to the WTO in 2001, across Mexican municipalities and estimate the effect of international competition on the individual decision to migrate. Controlling for individual and municipality features

This article treats the organization and ideology of the Salamullah-movement in Indonesia, a New Religious Movement established in the post-Suharto era. A characteristic feature of the movement is its extensive usage of new technology in the dissemination of its religious ideas.
