A brief review is given of some fundamental aspects of high-resolution core-level photoemission and of its application to studies of pure and adsorbate covered metal surfaces. We first give a short description of the basic theory and then turn to a number of examples. The first group of examples is aimed at demonstrating the use of core-level binding energy shifts for deriving the surface and inte
This paper discusses the prospect of a sociology of science informed by the critical realist philosophy of science. The discussion departs from the need for a theoretical framework to account for theoretical struggle and reproduction in the field of econom-ics. The recent talk about an ontological turn in science studies and the wider back-ground for such a turn is then related to the earlier turn
The European solar energy business faces the challenge of developing more cost-effective solar energy systems and one solution could be using concentrating hybrid PVT systems. Two such hybrids, the Swedish systems MaReCo and Solar8, are evaluated in this study. MaReCo is a fixed concentrating system with a high angle of acceptance. Solar8 is a new system, which is under development. It is inspired
A fundamental problem in vision is how to identify the occluding contours of objects and surfaces, given the ambiguity inherent in low-level visual input. A computational model is proposed for how occluding contours could be identified by making use of simple heuristics that reduce the ambiguity of individual features. In the striate cortex, a large majority of cells are selective for both contras
This paper represents the first sketches of what will hopefully grow into a larger postdoctoral project, the subject of which will be the relationship between the world of the Hebrew Bible and that of the Indo-European cultures that was its early neighbours, particularly the Anatolian cultures of the Hittites, Luwians, etc. My goal is to examine how ideas, concepts and words from Indo-European sou
