We study two-sided ("marriage") and general pairing ("roommate") problems. We introduce "sequences," lists of matchings that are repeated in order. Stable sequences are natural extensions of stable matchings; case in point, we show that a sequence of stable matchings is stable. In addition, stable sequences can provide solutions to problems for which stable matchings do not exist. In a sense, they

The category of interjections is claimed to be universally encountered across languages of the world; this status, however, does not exempt it of a most troubled linguistic history. Interjections have been classifieds both as word-like and sentence- (or utterance-) –like; they have been denied linguistic status or exiled at the periphery of language as a bizarre, primitive form of communication, a

I boken analyseras nutida självbiografier, bekännelser och bloggar med utgångspunkt i sex fallstudier. Syftet är att visa hur medialiseringen inverkar på enskilda författares, bloggares och skribenters självframställningar. I inledningen ges en introduktion till studiens centrala begrepp: medialisering, remediering, publik sfär, person och persona. I det första kapitlet analyseras det offentliga s

The observed high-spin states in 142Gd are interpreted as based on a triaxial nucleus rotating around the classically unfavored longest principal axis. For the first time such an interpretation is supported by experimental data including lifetimes which have been measured using DSAM with EUROBALL in the 114}Sn(32S,2p2n)142Gd reaction at 160~MeV.

Recent research on early Eastern monasticism has shown that earlier images of a fairly uniform movement can no longer stand. The chapter reviews earlier scholarship and discusses various froms of monasticism in the East, both generally and in each region. Five distinct types are presented, the ascetic household, the itinerant preaching monks, the recluses or hermits, the groups of anchorites and t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Teorin för den starka kraften, kvantkromodynamik eller QCD, behandlas här med både perturbativa och icke-perturbativa metoder. Speciellt produktions- och hadroniseringsdynamiken hos tunga partiklar studeras. Dessa partiklar innefattar tunga kvarkar (charm, botten och top), gaugebosoner, leptokvarkar och supersymmetriska partiklar. När tunga långlivade kvarkar (d.v.s. cIn this thesis the phenomenology of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) is studied in a variety of circumstances from both perturbative and non-perturbative perspectives. The main emphasis is on the production and hadronization of heavy particles, specifically heavy quarks, gauge bosons, leptoquarks and supersymmetric particles. In the hadroproduction of long-lived heavy quarks (i.e. charm and bottom)

Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna studie utgår från tanken att ett samhälle kan ses som en grupp individer förenade i ett nätverk av sociala relationer. Nyckeln till förståelsen av samhället ligger därför i studiet av dessa sociala nätverk som den praktik (mikronivå) vari de sociala strukturerna (makronivån) reproduceras och förändras.Syftet med studien är att utifrån de sociala nätverken studera hThe aim of the study is to examine, using the social networks as a starting-point, the way a local community is constructed in a specific historical context, namely the industrial community of Limhamn in southern Sweden at the time of the Industrial Revolution 1870-1914. In 1870 the Skånska Cement Company initiated a large-scale extraction of limestone in the area and soon had cement works built i
