Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva och analysera framväxten av nya kommersiella etiska konsumtionsfenomen och dess påverkan på konsumentkulturen. Metod: Magisteruppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ litteraturstudie som kompletterats med en empirisk case-studie av fenomenet (PRODUCT) RED. Allt emiriskt material är inhämtat från Internet under olika tidpunkter från och med mars månad till mitten av maj 2008
The goal of Master`s thesis is to design a power amplifier as part of a transmitter operating at 71-86GHz using the 22nm technology. The primary objective is to design a narrowband power amplifier for E-band at 80GHz. The output power range is 14-20dBm power added efficiency around 14% - 18%. The additional aim is investigating what new circuit concepts need to be used at 80GHz compared to 40GH
Syftet är att klargöra den roll CRM kan spela för en materialisering av kundkapitalet samt att fastställa vilken form en eventuell redovisningen av kundkapitalet bör ta. Uppsatsen skrivs utifrån en deduktiv ansats och genomförs med en kvalitativ metod. Materialet till den kvalitativa undersökningen har samlats in genom elva expertintervjuer via mail samt en djupintervju. Gapet mellan marknadsvärde
Dion–Jacobson (DJ) type 2D perovskites with a single organic cation layer exhibit a narrower distance between two adjacent inorganic layers compared to the corresponding Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites, which facilitates interlayer charge transport. However, the internal crystal structures in 2D DJ perovskites remain elusive. Herein, in a p-xylylenediamine (PDMA)-based DJ perovskite bearing bifuncti
A common molecular design paradigm for optical power limiting (OPL) applications is to introduce heavy atoms that promote intersystem crossing and triplet excited states. In order to investigate this effect, three multi-branched fluorene molecules were prepared where the central moiety was either an organic benzene unit, para-dibromobenzene, or a platinum(II)-alkynyl unit. All three molecules show
Population ageing is making it increasingly diffcult for countries to sustain their current levels social welfare transfers from the economically active population to the dependent elderly. To meet this challenge, the Swedish government has implemented various reforms since the 1990s aimed at reducing incentives to take early retirement. However, a critical question has emerged in response to thes
The addition of polyelectrolytes (PEs) to suspensions of charged colloids, such as nanoplatelets (NPs), is of great interest due to their specific feature of being either a stabilizing or a destabilizing agent. Here, the complexation between a PE and oppositely charged NPs is studied utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations based on the continuum model. The complex formation is eval
A technique for scalable spray coating of colloidal CdSeTe quantum dots (QDs) for photovoltaics and photodetector applications is presented. A mixture solvent with water and ethanol was introduced to enhance the adhesive force between QDs and the substrate interface. The performance of the detector reached the highest values with 40 spray coating cycles of QD deposition. The photodetectors without
In this work, we explored the photoinduced charge carriers dynamics rationalizing the photocatalytic oxidation of NO over N-doped Bi2O2CO3/graphene quantum dots composites(N-BOC/GQDs) via time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). Under visible light illumination, only GQDs can be photoexcited and inject electrons to N-BOC within 0.5 ns. Under UV light irradiation, the interfacial Z-scheme heterojunc
The gain and loss of aromaticity plays a key role in organic chemistry and in the prediction of rate‐determining steps. Herein, we explore the concept of aromaticity in photoisomerization reactions. Benzannulated derivatives of the dihydroazulene‐vinylheptafulvene (DHA‐VHF) photoswitch were investigated using transient absorption spectroscopy and time‐dependent density functional theory to elucida
Phosphorylation is one of the most abundant types of post-translational modifications of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). This study examines the conformational changes in the 15-residue-long N-terminal fragment of the IDP statherin upon phosphorylation, using computer simulations with two different force fields: AMBER ff99SB-ILDN and CHARMM36m. The results from the simulations are compar
We present a scheme for transferring conformational degrees of freedom from all-atom (AA) simulations of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) to coarse-grained (CG) Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using conformational swap moves. AA simulations of a single histatin 5 peptide in water were used to obtain a structural ensemble, which is reweighted in a CGMC simulation in the presence of a negative
When a biomaterial is inserted into the body, proteins rapidly adsorb onto its surface, creating a conditioning protein film that functions as a link between the implant and adhering cells. Depending on the nano-roughness of the surface, proteins will adsorb in different amounts, with different conformations and orientations, possibly affecting the subsequent attachment of cells to the surface. Th
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) adopt heterogeneous conformational ensembles in solution. The properties of the conformational ensemble are dependent upon the solution conditions, including the presence of ions, temperature, and crowding, and often directly impact biological function. Many in vitro investigations focus on the properties of IDPs under dilute conditions, rather than the cro
Developing light-harvesting and photocatalytic molecules made with iron could provide a cost effective, scalable, and environmentally benign path for solar energy conversion. To date these developments have been limited by the sub-picosecond metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) electronic excited state lifetime of iron based complexes due to spin crossover-the extremely fast intersystem crossing
Purpose: Multimodal imaging has not been documented for CABP4-related retinopathy.
