Novel nano-rectifiers based on ballistic electron transport have been fabricated from a high electron-mobility InGaAs/InP wafer. Because of the sufficiently small device size, operations at room temperature are achieved. Furthermore, the devices are shown to work not only up to at least 50 GHz but also with sensitivity to microwave reaching that of the commercial microwave diodes. Based on a simil

This chapter introduces the first main part of this volume, on the overarching 'architecture' of global climate governance beyond 2012. In particular, the central question that guides all chapters in this part is about the causes and consequences of fragmentation versus integration of governance architectures. We ask which type of governance architectures promises a higher degree of institutional

Skolan är en organisation som vi alla har erfarenheter av, men det är också en institution som vi förväntar oss mycket av. När den ständigt lika aktuella narkotikapolitiska ambitionen om ett narkotikafritt samhälle ska omsättas till handling, är skolan en given arena för det förebyggande arbetet. I denna bok problematiserar vi skolans möjligheter att bedriva ett drogförebyggande arbete. Vi visar

Abstract in Norwegian Artikkelen presenterer de skandinaviske helgenene Theodor væringen og sønnen Johannes, Russlands protomartyrer med utgangspunkt i russiske kilder, men utifra et skandinavisk perspektiv. Den presenterer likeens den hellige Anna (Ingegerd) av Novgorod med utgangspunkt i både russiske og norrøne kilder.

Popular Abstract in Swedish En kolkredit motsvarar i teorin en minskning av växthusgaser motsvarande ett ton koldioxid. Dessa krediters miljömässiga trovärdighet har varit en het diskussionsfråga i akademiska och politiska sammanhang i många år men blev mer allmänt uppmärksammat i tv och nyheter efter att FNs Kyotoprotokoll trädde i kraft 2005. Kyotoprotokollet är ett internationellt klimatavtal dCarbon credits are used as an instrument for climate change mitigation. Each credit represents a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) equivalent of 1 ton of carbon dioxide. Crediting mechanisms and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol in particular have been important for the international efforts to limit GHG emissions and the engagement of developing countries in m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är i dag den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i västvärlden. I Sverige insjuknar varje år drygt 6 600 kvinnor, och detta innebär att en av tio kvinnor kommer någon gång under sin livstid att utveckla bröstcancer. Antalet nydiagnostiserade fall av bröstcancer i Sverige har under de senare åren ökat, vilket bl.a. tros bero på den ökade medelåldern i befolknIn recent time breast cancer has become the most common form of female cancer in the western world. It has been estimated that the lifetime risk of women falling ill from the disease is 10%. The number of patients diagnosed each year has been increasing steadily since the 1970s. In 2002 the number of Swedish women diagnosed with breast cancer was 6,600, constituting every third female cancer diagn

In this paper we discuss the potential for commercial microfinance in China. Particular emphasis is put on securitization of microloans and on structured microfinance in a China context. Three particular factors that we believe could support a strong growth in Chinese structured microfinance are (i) the lack of currency risk, (ii) the scale advantages and (iii) the massive potential interest from

A single-ended two-stage 3.1-10.6GHz Low Noise Amplifier aimed for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication is presented. The LNA is fabricated in a 90nm CMOS process and measures just 0.31x0.41 mm2 including pads. The first stage topology is common-gate, to achieve a wideband input match. The second stage is a common source stage with resistive shunt feedback, to achieve high and flat gain over a wide

Although the field of polarity is well researched, this monograph offers a new take on polarity sensitivity that both challenges and incorporates previous theories. Based primarily on Swedish data, it presents new solutions to long-standing problems, such as the non-complementary distribution of NPIs and PPIs in yes/no-questions and conditionals, long distance licensing by superordinate elements a

Knowledge of the current distribution on a radome can be used to improve radome design, detect manufacturing errors, and to verify numerical simulations. In this paper, the transformation from near-field data to its equivalent current distribution on a surface, ie the radome, is analyzed. The transformation is based on the surface integral representation that relates the equivalent currents to the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling syftar till att närmare undersöka neuropsykologiska funktioner hos patienter med psykossjukdom och baseras på fyra studier avseende förstagångsinsjuknade patienter i psykos inom Fallskärmsprojektet. Projektet genomfördes vid 17 psykiatriska kliniker i Sverige och patienterna erbjöds en "behovsanpassad" psykiatrisk behandling, huvudsakligen i öppeThe present thesis is based on studies of neuropsychological functions in first episode psychosis patients (FEP) from the Swedish multicenter study, the Parachute Project. The thesis aims to clarify neuropsychological functions in psychotic illnesses. Patients from the project were examined neuropsychologically, using the WAIS-R NI test battery, in relation to measures of outcome in terms of clini
