The silicon MOSFET is one of the most important components used in modern electronics. The pursuit to continue fulfilling Moore’s law by scaling transistors to even smaller sizes have driven the development forward for CMOS technologies and new approaches have been necessary. These include changing the geometry of the devices for even higher performance, like creating 3D structures (finFETs or tri
Socioeconomic status (SES) and its effect on health outcomes for an individual is generally well researched, but the different mechanisms of different socioeconomic factors are yet still not fully understood. Using cross-sectional survey data for 50+ people in Estonia this thesis aims to analyse the multidimensional nature of different SES variables to see if the SES variables have an independent
Cassava, Manihot esculenta, is the third most important staple crop in tropical re- gions. Cassava is a fibrous root that is tolerant to drought and has a flexible harvest period making it a reliable crop under poorer farming conditions (FAO, 2008). The content of provitamin A, also known as β-carotene, is unfortunately low in cassava even though there are varieties bred for a higher content. Sinc
Baker´s yeast S. cerevisiae has been engineered in order to enable xylose uptake and utilization from lignocellulosic biomass as this yeast cannot naturally metabolize this pentose sugar. However, xylose is not recognized as a fermentable sugar by S. cerevisiae and recent studies on the effect of xylose on the three main sugar signaling pathways (Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1pt and cAMP/PKA) have indicat
Large particle accelerators are difficult to setup. One of the first problems that can be encountered, before production configuration is found, is the beam not passing through the accelerator. The process of guiding the beam through the accelerator is called beam threading. Depending on the accelerator complexity it can take days before the beam passes for the first time. Currently the beam thre
This master thesis is the result of cooperation between Lund University and Tetra Pak, performed by a student at Engineering Nanoscience, LTH. The aim is to explain how different molecular weights and molecular weight distribution of isotactic homo-polypropylene affect resulting properties. Examined properties are mechanical properties by tensile testing and tensile impact, shear viscosity by capi
This paper examines long-run and short-term dynamics of real house prices in Sweden from the first quarter in 1986 to the last quarter in 2017. To understand this, multivariate co-integration and error correction modelling approach are used. More specifically, this paper examines whether fundamental factors of demand and supply can explain the real house price development in Sweden. Evidence shows
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur olika typer av omskrivningar; metaforer och liknelser används av elever och lärare i ämnet Gehörs- och musiklära. Mer specifikt undersöks hur elever väljer att beskriva tre typer av färgade ackord, hur de upplever användandet av dessa beskrivningar som hjälp för att identifiera ackorden samt hur en lärare i ämnet Gehörs- och musiklära använder sig av metaThis study aims to investigate how different types of rewriting; metaphors and similarities are used by students and teachers in music theory and ear training. More specifically, how students choose to describe three types of colored chords, how they perceive the use of these descriptions to help identify the chords and how a music theory teacher uses metaphors, descriptive words and associations
Research question-/s: How does the time perceived by employees influence their individual innovative behaviour? Methodology: The research strategy of the study is quantitative with the use of a deductive method with influences of induction. Overall the design is a cross-sectional study design with the primary source of data collection through an online survey administered to a selected sample. T
How are non-heterosexual spaces for men constructed and how can we understand them? What purpose do they fill? Where does non-heterosexual men go looking to find other nonheterosexual men? This Bachelor thesis in Gender Studies explore the answers to these questions. Inspired by ’’Såna på Amerikabåtarna’’ a sociological study by Arne Nilsson the research of this thesis is drawing on four qualitati
Design can steer individuals in different ways to guide them to perform an intended behavior and make certain decisions. Persuasive design and digital nudging refer to two design strategies, which both emphasize the concept of designing with intention. By guiding users through design within the process of decision-making. Digital nudging originates from the concept of nudging which is rarely menti
BI system utilisation influence organisational knowledge, data sensemaking and meaning construction practices. The research explore how the use of BI technologies change meaning power distribution in an organisation. The study used two theories of meaning power – deterministic and continuous framing. From those their concepts the framework for interview guide was compiled. Interpretative strategy
Blockchain-teknologin har haft en explosiv karaktär i samband med kryptovalutan bitcoins. Den moderna teknologin karaktäriseras som en öppen, decentraliserad och distribuerad databas för lagring av transaktionsinformation. Genom att eliminera centraliserade tredjeparter tillåter tekniken två parter att förhandla med varandra. Detta öppnar upp möjligheten att uppnå betydligt mer transparenta transa
This thesis contributes to the existing literature by examining the effect of oil prices on floating exchange rates of oil dependent countries. I conduct empirical tests on monthly data of 32 currencies over a timeframe of 15 years from 2003 to 2017 and 13 currencies over a timeframe of 25 years from 1993 to 2017. The analysis, therefore, includes a large sample that has the drawback of a shorter
Innovations and economic growth are tightly connected. They are responsible for the humanity’s progress into a modern and industrialized society; they improved welfare, life quality and solved problems in diverse fields. Implicitly, it is expected that innovations will continue to do so. However, some statistics reveal that this view might be overly optimistic, as investments in innovative activit
The purpose of this research is to investigate the Performance Management within the ACAs. The findings of this research concluded that the two Anti-Corruption Authorities have different performance management systems. The researchers believe that this difference stems from internal and external factors.
