The interfacial reduction of aqueous [PdCl4]2- at the interface with an organic solution of ferrocene has been characterised by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. Use of a liquid-liquid interface as a model for homogeneous nucleation permits control of the thermodynamic driving force for nucleation, through variation of the [PdCl4]2- and ferrocene concentrations in the bulk of th

När konsumenter köper en produkt så har de förväntningar på vad produkten kommer att kunna leverera. Rationella argument försöker försäkra sig om att produktens tekniska egenskaper kommer att bli till belåtenhet. Men det är ändå ofta känslan som får sista ordet. Känns produkten rätt, tillräckligt attraktiv, eller är den ens värd att betala så mycket för? Det är väl känt att människans perception iWhen consumers buy a new product, they have expectations about what that product will deliver. The consumer’s rational reasoning may try to ascertain whether the technical performance of the product will be fulfilled. Nevertheless, the final word is often subjective. Does it feel right? Is the product attractive, is it worth paying that much for? It is well established that human perception is hig

The field of microbial ecology has been developing rapidly, largely owing to the introduction of new molecular methods for identifying individuals, species and populations of microorganisms in nature. In contrast to traditional methods, the new ones do not require the isolation and culture of organisms from the environment. With many of the new methods, genotypes and species of microorganisms can

Sustainable lifestyles and consumption refer to multiple spheres of human activities such as mobility, housing, food and leisure. Increasingly consumers are called upon to assume greater responsibility for changing their lifestyles, primarily through making environmentally sound purchasing choices and changing behavior. To motivate consumers, governments have often focused on improving the provisi

I denna rapport analyseras effekterna av sänkta parkeringsnormer för bostäder för invånarna i det centrumnära, och relativt nybyggda, bostadsområdet Porslinsfabriken i Göteborg. Porslinsfabriken är med en relativt låg parkeringsnorm på 0,57 platser per lägenhet ett bra exempel på en parkeringspolitik som förs i alltfler kommuner. Resultatet visar att 19 procent av hushållen har minskat bilinnehaveThis report analyses the effects of lowered parking requirements for residents in the centrally located, relatively newly built housing area, Porslinsfabriken in Gothenburg. Porslinsfabriken has a relatively low parking requirement of 0.57 places per apartment and is a good example of a parking policy being introduced in many Swedish municipalities. The results show that 19 percent of households h

Implementation of open source development practices within commercial settings can bring benefits such as improved source code quality, lower maintenance costs, and increased innovation. However, a widespread in-house implementation of the practices has not been observed. The goal of this research is to understand factors which hinder the implementation. For the purpose, development practices of a

This paper focuses on the interaction of reasons and argues that reasons for an action may transmit to the necessary means of that action. Analyzing exactly how this phenomenon may be captured by principles governing normative transmission has proved an intricate task in recent years. In this paper, I assess three formulations focusing on normative transmission and necessary means: Ought Necessity

We present progress in the development of artificial photosynthesis, as a means to harvesting and storage of solar energy. The plan is to compose molecular systems that combine known photochemistry with emerging functional model compounds. A photochemical device for solar energy conversion contains a photosensitizer, an electron acceptor system and a donor system that prevents charge recombination

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fett som tas in i kroppen bryts huvudsakligen ned i tunntarmen med hjälp av ett enzym, lipas och dess regler-protein colipas. Colipas binder sig till lipas och gör att lipas fastnar på fett dropparna som emulgerats av gallsalter. Både lipas och colipas utsöndras av bukspottkörteln. I de gröna växternas blad finns kloroplaster som fångar upp ljus och därvid bildar syre oObesity is a major health problem in the world that increases the occurrence of type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The reason for obesity is a dysfunction in the regulation of energy balance. It has been shown that dietary fat induces satiety as long as this nutrient stays in the intestine. One important gastrointestinal satiety signal is cholecystokinin (CCK), released from the intestine

Various studies have highlighted older persons' problems in potentially failing to keep pace with developments in information technology and the latest technologies that prevent physical and social loss. In contrast to such studies that treat users as static and technology as changing, it's important to understand the use of technology can change over time. For example, older persons have used tec

In this thesis a carbon dioxide assisted cooling technique for primarily injection moulds, a part of the so called ToolVac™ moulding technology, has been studied. The cooling technique is based on the injection of liquid carbon dioxide into microporous mould steel. The study is an introductory examination focused on experimental work, of the cooling technique and the possibilities it offers. A tes

The purpose of this thesis has been to analyse the mechanism of the market driving approach carried out by a global organisation with a corporate brand. Market driving is a new organisational approach to strategy that lacks a solid theoretical framework, but constitutes a reality of global firms such as IKEA, The Body Shop, Benetton, Dell, Hennes and Mauritz, Starbucks. In the literature, the mark

Diskussionen om skärpta straff för våldsbrott har ökat i Sverige under de senaste åren, och det har i den kriminalpolitiska debatten förekommit utspel om att den danska modellen bör tjäna som förebild för svensk kriminalpolitik. Försvårande omständigheter vid bedömning av brottets straffvärde ger domstolen möjlighet att öka straffvärdet i vissa fall. Uppsatsen syftar därför till att undersöka hur
