High-spin states have been populated in [Formula Presented] via the [Formula Presented] reaction at 150 MeV, using the EUROGAM II [Formula Presented]-ray spectrometer to record high-fold [Formula Presented]-ray coincidences. A quadruples [Formula Presented]-ray analysis [Formula Presented] has been used to extend the known level scheme. In addition to several aligned noncollective states, a new hi

Very high spin (50-60(Latin small letter h with stroke)) states in transitional 156Dy, 159Er and 160Er nuclei have been studied using the GAMMASPHERE and EUROGAM γ-ray spectrometers. The lowest energy positive-parity bands in 156Dy are found to evolve smoothly towards an oblate shape in contrast to the sudden change observed in the neighbouring 158Er nucleus. In 159Er, the decay path of the positi

Three rotational bands have been discovered in the nucleus Sb109 that extend in angular momentum to 81/2Latin small letter h with stroke. The rotational frequency at the highest spins reaches Latin small letter h with strokeω1.4 MeV, the highest frequency so far observed in a heavy nucleus. With increasing frequency the collective moments of inertia of all three bands smoothly diminish to unexpect

Hyperfine structure measurements have been performed in some neutron-deficient gold isotopes, using on-line atomic-beam magnetic resonance (ABMR) techniques at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. The following results have been obtained: 185Au, I = 5/2; 187Au, Δv = 44.35(60) GHz, μ = 0.72(7) n.m. and 188Au, Δv = ± 2992(30) MHz. A discussion of the influence of the hyperfine anomaly is included. With due re

The reactions 78Kr( alpha ,n) and 80Kr( alpha ,3n) were used to populate excited states in 81Sr. The de-excitation of these states was studied by in-beam gamma -ray spectroscopy. A number of new high-spin states forming band structures have been observed. Lifetime measurements have also been performed. Theoretical calculations using a particle-rotor approach based on the Nilsson model have been ma

High spin states in 127,129,131La have been investigated using the 100Mo(32S,p4n), E= 160 MeV, 100Mo(34S,p4n), E=155 MeV, and 100Mo(36S,p4n), E=160 MeV reactions, respectively. γ rays were detected using the EUROBALL IV (127,131La) and EUROGAM II (129La) arrays. The results have enabled the negative parity yrast band, built on the πh 11/2 orbital at low spin, and the lowest lying (π, α) = (+, ± 1/

High-spin states in 72Br were studied with the EUROBALL III spectrometer using the 40Ca(40Ca,α3p1n) reaction. The negative-parity band observed in this experiment displays a signature inversion around spin I = 16. The interpretation within the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach shows that this signature pattern is a signal of a substantial triaxial shape change with increasing spin where the nucl

The highest-spin discrete states (I ∼ 60ℏ and Ex ∼ 30MeV) in normal deformed nuclei have been observed in the rare-earth isotope 156Dy using the GAMMASPHERE spectrometer. The quadrupole moments for a variety of configurations, including the 9/2+[404] (g9/2) proton, 1/2+[660] (i13/2) and 1/2-[541] (f7/2, h9/2) neutron orbitals, were measured in a wide range of ∼ 130 nuclei.

The level scheme of 103Pd has been reconstructed using high-fold γ-ray coincidence data obtained with the EUROGAM-2 spectrometer in the 70Zn(36S,3n) reaction at E = 130 MeV. New spins and excitation energies are given for levels in the strongly coupled positive parity bands. Four high-spin bands are discussed in terms of terminating configurations using Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking calculations. On

Two γ-rays of 129.2 and 288.4 keV observed in the β-decay of 55 ms 100Rb are interpreted as representing the two lowest transitions in the 100Sr ground-state rotational band. The energy ratio of the two levels, 3.23, approaches the value for a rigid rotator. The half-life of the 2+ state is 5.15 ± 0.20 ns corresponding to a deformation parameter ε{lunate} of 0.29. The theoretical implications of t

The effect of an octupole component in the intrinsic mean field at high spin is demonstrated by a Woods-Saxon-Bogolyubov cranking calculation. The nature of nuclear rotation becomes nearly collective instead of collective plus single-particle, because octupole couplings with l up to 3 "dilute" the high-j shells. Theory is consistent with experimental data on Th222 and could be tested further by st

Accurate detection of traffic anomalies is crucial for effective urban traffic management and congestion mitigation. We use the Spatiotemporal Generative Adversarial Network (STGAN) framework combining Graph Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory networks to capture complex spatial and temporal dependencies in traffic data. We apply STGAN to real-time, minute-by-minute observations from 42 tra

High-spin states have been populated in 11954Xe via the 96Mo(27Al,p3n) reaction at 133 MeV, using the JUROSPHERE γ-ray spectrometer to record triple γ-ray coincidences. The known level scheme has been significantly extended and several band crossings identified. In particular, the νh11/2 yrast band has been extended to Iπ = (83/2-) and shows features which are consistent with those of smooth band

This thesis explores how public libraries in Lund, Sweden, and various regions of Nepal function as inclusive community spaces. Drawing on ethnographic methods including observation, interviews, digital ethnography, and surveys, it compares the everyday experiences of library users in two different national contexts. Grounded in theories of the public sphere by Habermas and Risse, and their critiq

In a time characterized by individualization and changing forms of collective life, this study explores contemporary cinema as both a personal and shared experiential space. Based on interviews and participant observations conducted at two cinemas in Malmö, Sweden, the study explores how cinematic experiences are shaped through atmosphere, spatial organization, and social interaction. The analysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate masculinity via the modern cooking method of barbequing. This will be done through the theoretical lens of preformance as presented by Erving Goffman. The methodology through which this has been done includes person interviews, interviews done online, netnography and archival studies. Thus the basis of my material ranges from voice recordings, online dis

This paper examines personal accounts of living with allergies. By interviewing adults with childhood experience of allergy summer camps and by writing an autoethnographic journal I analyze how these summer camps can exhibit a way to make everyday life of the allergic individuals easier. An allergy may affect a person's lifestyle in many ways and you encounter a lot of difficult experiences in

Precision oncology is being transformed by the integration of advanced machine learning (ML) methods and extensive biomedical data from genomics, imaging, proteomics, and clinical records. ML techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, have progressed from experimental tools to robust systems that identify clinically actionable biomarkers, refine prog

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M
