The historical role of European farming in southern and central Africa is a delicate matter that has received a great deal of attention among scholars over the years. Going through this vast literature a striking consensus emerges: success or failure of European farming in southern Africa was to a large extent depending on their access and control over labour. These propositions have so far never
An expression for the mean-square error (MSE) optimal Wigner cross-spectrum estimator is derived within a wide class of estimators. Using this expression and a simplemodel we are able to construct a new estimator which turns out to be superior compared to standard estimators such as Thomson multitapers and Welch method on simulated data.
Abstract : We present the first a priori derivation of a many-body theory for EXAFS with clearly defined approximations and with final expressions which are feasible for quantitative evaluations. We conclude that the conventional EXAFS expression should be complemented with a term that crudely is the main term, energy-shifted and scaled down by a factor of order 0.2-0.3. Further the f-factors depe
In this thesis, the electronic structure and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures are studied theoretically. Three types of nanostructures have been studied, silicon nanocrystals, free-standing III-V nanowires and free-standing GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire superlattices. The calculations have been carried out using an atomistic, empirical tight-binding approach. Silicon nanocrystals have at
This paper discusses the relation between logistics and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) of companies within the same industry and same industry level (i.e. horizontal M&A). The purpose is to study the effects of M&A on the logistics resources of companies and the possibility for companies to benefit from the re-organising of these resources in the form of synergies. The study hopes to a
