Initiating the gain process in a free-electron laser (FEL) from an external highly coherent source of radiation is a promising way to improve the pulse properties such as temporal coherence and synchronization performance in time-resolved pump-probe experiments at FEL facilities, but this so-called "seeding" suffers from the lack of adequate sources at short wavelengths. We report on the first suc

Based on a review of recent developments in Sweden and Finland, this chapter analyzes the roles of public organizations in the governance of a transition to Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS).

Syntetiska myskföreningar är för oss främmande ämnen som kan ackumuleras i fettvävnad och den största exponeringen för föreningarna hos människor är troligtvis via bröstmjölk, huden och användningen av krämer och parfymer. Flera av ftalaterna är i varierande grad hormonstörande ämnen vilka har hittats i människor när man har undersökt blod, bröstmjölk och urin. Foster kan exponeras för ftalater omFragrances have been used in cosmetics for more than fifty years and most substances in scents can just be grouped under the term "parfume" on product labels.
