Antidumping is a burning topic that has been lively debated lately. The usage of antidumping has enhanced during the past decade and affects the trade flow between countries. In this thesis antidumping procedures are investigated and effects on antidumping measures are analysed and discussed. All antidumping targeted footwear has been included in the investigation. The products originate from Chin
The biosynthesis of chlorophyll has been demonstrated to require an extensive set of enzymes, the initial stages of which are shared with the synthesis of heme. Of these enzymes, the most enigmatic is the Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester cyclase (EC 1.14.13.81). This enzyme requires components found associated with the plastid membrane and the plastid soluble fraction. One of the components,
Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på vilka betydelsefulla ”triggers” som leder till internationell expansion, samt vilka viktiga faktorer som påverkar företagets internationaliseringsprocess. Sex snabbväxande svenska företag intervjuas. Ingen slutsats har kunnat ges generellt för alla företag, men vi har haft tillräckligt med underlag för att få en bra förståelse för vilka som är de vanligaste t
Background – Advancing the development of highly efficacious and long-lasting malaria vaccines is hampered by incomplete knowledge of protective immune mechanisms and an absence of established correlates of immunity. Antibody avidity is frequently evaluated as an indicator of a high-quality or protective antibody response to vaccination. However, the importance of avidity in vaccine-induced immuni
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en signifikant skillnad i riskaversion råder mellan de två populationerna, där den ena arbetar för en fast lön och den andra för en provisionsbaserad lön. Även de oberoende variablerna som antas ligga till grund för en individs riskaversion kommer att undersökas. Metod: En tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes av två populationer med hjälp av en internetbasePurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether there is a significant difference in risk aversion between the two populations, where one is working for a fixed salary, and the other for a commission-based salary. Independent variables that may represent the individual's risk aversion will also be examined. Methodology: A cross-sectional study of two populations was carried out
Phytase (EC 3.1.3.-) hydrolyzes phytate (IP6) present in cereals and grains to release inorganic phosphate (Pi), thereby making it bioavailable. The most commonly used method to assay phytase, developed nearly a century ago, measures the Pi liberated from IP6. This traditional end point assay is time consuming and well known for its cumbersomeness in addition to requiring extra caution for handlin
Scrum is currently a widely used process in most areas of software development. Conversely, usability activities as prescribed in the area of HCI are not widely used in the software industry, especially not in agile software development projects. Through an analysis of interview and survey data from five studies we scrutinize the reasons for choosing Scrum, consequences of using Scrum, and study t
This paper presents a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) phase-locked loop (PLL), with an output frequency centered at 54.65 GHz. It demonstrates a mode-switching architecture that considerably improves the lock time, by seamlessly switching between a low-noise mode and a fast-locking mode that is only used during settling. The improvement is used to counteract the increased lock-time caused by cycle-slips
The purchasing strategies in the construction industry have been considered by many writers in construction management as short-term and arms-length. However, a different picture is portrayed in the manufacturing industry, where the purchasing strategies are mostly long-term to secure supply for production. Industrialized building is at the crossroad between construction and manufacturing, which r
In this work, a new copolymer synthesized in our laboratory is used as physically adsorbed coating for capillary electrophoresis (CE). The copolymer is composed of ethylpyrrolidine methacrylate (EPyM) and methylmethacrylate (MMA). The capillary coating is easily obtained by simply flushing into the tubing an EPyM/MMA solution. It is demonstrated that the composition of the EPyM/MMA copolymer toget
Bridge splitting in chloroform of the orthometalated chloro-bridged complex [Pt(mu-Cl)(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)](2) (1), with ethene, cyclooctene, allyl alcohol and phosphine according to 1 + 2L --> 2 [PtCl(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)(L)], where L = C2H4 (3a), C8H14, (3b), CH2CHCH2OH (3c), and PPh3 (4a and 4b) gives monomeric species with L coordinated trans or cis to aryl. With olefins the thermodynamically stable isom
