Windmill structures must withstand very high horizontal loading giving an extremely large overturning moment on the foundation. These structures have very low stability loads in comparison to the overturning loads. The traditional way to solve the construction problem uses a shallow foundation with a massive concrete volume or a piled foundation to resist the extreme overturning moment. This work
This thesis focuses mainly on the co-integration of vertical nanowiren-type InAs and p-type GaSb MOSFETs on Si (Paper I & II), whereMOVPE grown vertical InAs-GaSb heterostructure nanowires areused for realizing monolithically integrated and co-processed all-III-V CMOS.Utilizing a bottom-up approach based on MOVPE grown nanowires enablesdesign flexibilities, such as in-situ doping and heterostr
Boreal forests and peatlands are globally significant carbon stores but they are threatened by rising air temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes and the frequency of natural disturbances. Predicting how the boreal biome will respond to climate change depends on being able to accurately model and upscale the greenhouse gas fluxes between these ecosystems and the atmosphere. This thesis f
Aim/hypothesis: Human enteroviral infections are suggested to be associated with type 1 diabetes. However, the mechanism by which enteroviruses can trigger disease remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate the impact of enterovirus on autophagy, a cellular process that regulates beta cell homeostasis, using the clonal beta cell line INS(832/13) and human islet cells as in vitro models
Inom ett par år kommer det nya materialforskningscentret ESS, The European Spallation Source, att stå färdigbyggt. Det kommer då vara det mest avancerade forskningsinstitutet i sitt slag och leverera upp till 30 gånger fler neutroner än någon annan neutronkälla i världen. En av de viktigaste komponenterna på ESS är det s.k. strålmålet som består av nästan 7000 bitar av det metalliska grundämnet voThe European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently under construction in Lund, will use pure tungsten as the spallation neutron target. The tungsten will be irradiated by a 2 GeV proton beam, pulsed at a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Each pulse will deposit 357 kJ in the tungsten causing an instantaneous temperature rise of approximately 100 °C, during the 2.86 ms pulse duration. The target is w
Brazil had a significant quantitative housing deficit of 7.7 million residences in 2015, especially in low-income housing. Traditionally, these projects have low levels of thermal insulation which can result in discomfort caused by warmth or cold. The residential sector is responsible for a significant part of the energy use in Brazil. A green roof, a rooftop system with the addition of vegetation
Background: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large haemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood in the newborn flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from oxygen free radicals. It has been suggested that phenobarbital stab
I samband med att företag drabbas av arbetsbrist aktualiseras arbetsgivarens skyldighet att utreda möjligheterna att erbjuda den eller de berörda arbetstagarna omplaceringar till andra befattningar i enlighet med 7 § 2 st. LAS. Denna omplaceringsskyldighet är tvingande oavsett företagets storlek och syftar till att så långt det går undvika friställningar av arbetstagare. Av lagtexten framgår att eWhen companies are suffering from labor shortages, the employer’s obligation to investigate the possibility of offering the affected employee or employees other positions in accordance with section 7 second paragraph is raised. This relocation obligation is mandatory regardless of the size of the company and aims to avoid employee layoffs as far as possible. It is clear from the legal text that a
Problem IKEA uses a standard store concept when building IKEA stores. Developing a standard store concept simplifies the procedure to build many similar stores in a more efficient way. However, a difficulty in the process of establishing and using a standardised concept is how to continuously update the concept itself. Today there are big differences in retail construction costs between different
ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea
Idag lever vi en globaliserad värld där varor, tjänster och personer rör sig över större avstånd på ett allt enklare och snabbare sätt. Detta har resulterat i att fler företag har valt att etablerat sig internationellt och i allt större utsträckning strävar efter att etablera sig och verka globalt. När företag verkar i flera länder är en av konsekvenserna att företagen måste efterfölja lagar och rToday we live in a globalized world where goods, services and people can move easily over wide distances smoother and faster for each day. This has resulted in an increasing number of companies striving to establish and operate globally. One of the consequences when companies establishes worldwide is that they must comply with laws and regulations in the countries where they choose to establish. T
ABSTRACT Scopo e quadro generale: Nella presente tesi viene investigata la situazione sociolinguistica del dialetto veneziano, tramite un questionario rivolto a giovani veneziani tra i 14 ed i 25 anni. Venezia è una città internazionale che ospita milioni di turisti ogni anno, mentre la città perde sempre più residenti. Il dialetto veneziano era la lingua della Repubblica di Venezia e possiede d
Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig. Den nuvarande barnbidragslagsti

Problem Discussion: Nissan Diesel became a part of the Volvo Group in the end of March, 2007. A year has passed and the integration process is making progress but it is perceived to lack some momentum. Our sponsor would like to understand if there are any potential barriers to the integration process. (Haspeslagh, et al., 1991) and (Pablo, 1994) presents two different sets of determinants that can
Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b
Möjligheten att använda tidiga förhör som bevismaterial trädde i kraft år 2022 och innebär att förhörsutsagor givna under en förundersökning som spelats in med ljud och bild inför en brottsutredande myndighet får i vissa fall användas som bevismaterial under huvudförhandlingen. Förhörsutsagor är ett viktigt bevismaterial och det är således av stor vikt att deras innehåll är fullständigt och korrekThe ability to use preliminary investigation interviews as evidence was implemented in 2022, allowing statements given during a preliminary investigation, recorded with audio and video, to be used as evidence in the main trial under certain circumstances. Oral statements are an important piece of evidence, and it is therefore of vital importance that they are complete and accurate to ensure their
Products made from pulp are a part of everyday life. With end products like coffee filters, food packaging and tissue paper. These products are the result of wood being processed in pulp mills to produce the pulp from which the forementioned paper products are produced. The modern pulp and paper industry is energy intense and on a global perspective a large emitter of greenhouse gasses, accounting
