Universum består utav mycket små byggstenar vilka kallas elementarpartiklar. Varje sådan partikel har speciella egenskaper. Ett exempel är ljus, vilket egentligen är ljuspartiklar som kallas \textit{fotoner}, vilka färdas med ljushastigheten. Ett annat är elektricitet vilket är \textit{elektroner} i rörelse. En av elektronernas egenskaper är att de har en negativ elektrisk laddning. En fråga somOne approach to understanding the observed hierarchy in quark masses is by using the Froggatt-Nielssen mechanism. In this model new exotic (and presumable yet undetected) particles are introduced. By forcing the particles of the Standard Model to interact with the postulated particles it is possible to create a mass suppression mechanism which can explain the observed quark mass relations. The me

The Internet of Things is coming. With it comes security challenges not present on common, more capable, devices such as desktop computers or servers. We argue that traditional channel security needs to be complemented with object security to cope with the constrained nature of small devices and Low Power Lossy Networks. The main reason for a partial transition to object security being heavy use o
