We report the simultaneous measurement of the structural and electronic components of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) of VO_{2} using electron and photoelectron spectroscopies and microscopies. We show that these evolve over different temperature scales, and are separated by an unusual monocliniclike metallic phase. Our results provide conclusive evidence that the new monocliniclike metallic
Investigations into molecular motor dynamics are increasingly focused on small-scale features of the motor's motion. We define performance measures of a common type of single-molecule motility assay, the bead assay, for its ability to detect such features. Using numerical models, we explore the dependence of assay performance on a number of experimentally controllable parameters, including bead si
Neutrophils are essential for host defense at the oral mucosa and neutropenia or functional neutrophil defects lead to disordered oral homeostasis. We found that neutrophils from the oral mucosa harvested from morning saliva had undergone NETosis in vivo. The NETosis was mediated through intracellular signals elicited by binding of sialyl lewis(X) present on salival mucins to L-selectin on neutrop
A method for the production of a tissue-mimicking phantom material for MR imaging is described. The material consists of a nickel-doped agarose gel. The T1 and T2 values of the gel can be varied independently by changing the relative amounts of nickel and agarose. Practically any T1 and T2 combination of clinical interest can be obtained. The long-term stability was studied and found to be good. T
The distribution of neurones expressing neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA in the brain of the goldfish was investigated using a non-radioactive in situ hybridization technique. Neurones expressing NPY mRNA were located in cell groups previously shown to exhibit NPY immunoreactivity in the ventral telencephalon, thalamus, optic tectum and a region adjacent to the locus coeruleus. In addition, neurones expr
The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of correlation between the Pelvic Organ Quantification system (POP-Q) measurements and symptom questionnaire scores before and after surgery. This was a part of a randomized controlled study comparing conventional colporrhaphy with mesh repair surgery.
We derive a microscopic expression for the mechanical pressure P in a system of spherical active Brownian particles at density ρ. Our exact result relates P, defined as the force per unit area on a bounding wall, to bulk correlation functions evaluated far away from the wall. It shows that (i) P(ρ) is a state function, independent of the particle-wall interaction; (ii) interactions contribute two
A laser-produced plasma was generated by focusing 100 fs laser pulses, with an energy of 150 mJ, onto metal targets. The laser intensity was expected to reach 10E17 W/cm2. Radiation was emitted from the created plasma, with photon energies extending up to the MeV regime. The laser-based X-ray source was optimised, with the purpose of making it a realistic source of hard X-rays (>10 keV). Dedicated
We present a low-delay vector predictive transform coder with quantization noise modeling. The coder uses overlapped transform coding and a Kalman filter with a backward estimated LPC model of the speech signal combined with an additive noise model of the quantization noise. The noise model is driven by the vector quantizer. Each quantizer cell has its own error correlation matrix, which is kept i

>>>SYFTE<<< Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera huruvida föreslagna förändringar, avseende hantering av goodwill, vid en tillämpning av IASB:'s Exposure Draft 3: Busines's Combination's kan bidra till en bättre redovisning i form av en mer tillförlitlig, begriplig, relevant och jämförbar värdering av de studerade företagen's goodwillposter. Vi ämnar även undersöka vilket av de båda
Titel: Skivförsäljningsbranschen - strategiska aspekter för Internetexpansion Seminariedag: 5 juni 2001 Författare: Mattias Berntsen Hugo Mansfeld Ola Nilsson Jesper Nordh Handledare: Lars Bengtsson Jan-Inge Lind Problem: Vilka förutsättningar har vårt fallföretag för en expandering på Internet? Vilka strategiska aspekter måste företag beakta vid en expandering på Internet? Vart leder utvecklingen
Kunskap är en kritisk resurs i dagens företag och komplexiteten ligger i att den är en osynlig tillgång bunden till individer samt att hanteringen av kunskap innebär ett mångfacetterat arbete. Det är mycket som påverkar kunskapshanteringen och det är ledningen som har det övergripande ansvaret för att uppnå en god sådan genom att avsätta resurser samt skapa förutsättningar för god kunskapshanterin
I denna uppsats har vi analyserat vilka utmaningar som finns för retailföretagets chefsförsörjning. Vi har inte kunnat identifiera tidigare forskning som berör just detta. För att besvara vårt syfte har vi därför använt teorier som behandlar retailföretagets arbetskraft, samt teorier som beskriver kompetensförsörjning och chefsförsörjning på ett generellt plan. Vidare har vi tagit hjälp av forskni
What we generally are lacking within the field of research regarding complaint management is a more niched knowledge about its usability and potential to foster competitive capability within a specific industry. The thesis main objective is the hotel industry and we have found a knowledge gap regarding how service recovery can foster a hotels competitive capability. Our purpose is to describe and
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och analysera hur ett hälsofrämjande ledarskap i serviceorganisationer använder hälsofrämjande verktyg i det dagliga arbetet. Genom en metodologisk fallstudie har vi konkretiserat ett hälsofrämjande vertyg, mindfulness, som ligger till grund för vår studie. Vi har sammanfattningsvis kommit fram till att mindfulness kan fungera som ett hälsofrämjande verktyg so
