Inom hjärnforskning önskar man ta reda på värdet för olika kemiska parametrar. Här beskrivs en metod som med ren matematik kan beräkna de optimala parametervärdena. Den bakomliggande kemin gav upphov till speciella matematiska egenskaper. Med hjälp av en egenutvecklad sats kunde det då visas att metoden alltid hittar den lösning som är bäst enligt den så kallade maxnormen.In this thesis, functions describing relations between chemical concentrations at equilibrium are studied. The functions have some parameters that are desired to be determined. Based on the properties of the functions, an optimization method will be proposed. Because of these special properties, it is appropriate to consider the residuals in the max norm, since then it is possible to show that the

Nowadays, the use of digital signal processing is essential in various measurements of different machines. There has been many projects done at Sandvik AB on how to collect and measure data signals on the cone rock crusher. None of those measurements could present the correct data. The reason could possibly be due to the lack of theory behind the use of digital signal processing which this thesis

In this thesis, different aspects of the quantum Szilard engine are studied using the configuration interaction method. The engine is modelled as a one-dimensional infinite well. The effects of a contact-interaction are examined and it is found that attractive contact-interactions can improve the work output at certain temperatures of an engine that has bosons as a working medium. The role of im

The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and maintaining a Norwegian presence in the Arctic areas is considered to be a national priority. A major r

Today it is common that cities develop their old ports to new vibrant neighborhoods.The combination of a good location and a close contact to the ocean makes the harbor area to an important resource for creating attractive cities around the world. Varberg is a town on the west coast and it has a unique location to the sea. 2013 the Government’s decided that the railroad should go in a tunnel unde

Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration

Syftet är att studera både vad kunskap är och hur vi förväntas veta. Som utgångspunkt undersöker uppsatsen programmet Vem

Få molekyler arbetar så i det tysta som cellulosa. Denna jättemolekyl, även kallad polymer, består av fastkedjade glukosmolekyler och är hela naturens byggsten. Till synes är cellulosa den perfekta molekylen - utvinningsbar i enorma massor från exempelvis skogsindustri och med allehanda användningsområden inom exempelvis läkemedels-, textil- och även på senare tid inom biobränsleindustri. För atThe underlying mechanism of gel formation in solutions containing microcrystalline cellulose dissolved in cold alkali with and without addition of urea was investigated using rheological methods, spectrophotometry, scattering techniques and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. From the obtained results it is found that gelation occurs due to a microscopic precipitation of cellulose II, which i

Our paper studies the foreign direct investment (FDI)-pollution nexus based on China’s province level panel data from 2005 to 2014. The analysis focuses not only on a national panel (including all provinces), but also on three regional panels (provinces are divided by economic region. We applied dynamic panel data model with lagged variables based on general moment method (GMM) to capture causalit

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka i vilken grad depression och omvårdnadsrepresentationer samvarierar hos pappor efter barns födelse. Särskild vikt gavs åt sambandet mellan pappornas grad av depression och deras upplevelse av maternal gatekeeping. När en pappa har en upplevelse av maternal gatekeeping känner han sig utestängd från delar av famljelivet och omvårdnaden av barnet. Målgruppen The aim of this study was to examine to what extent father’s postpartumdepression and caregiving representations correlated. Of special interest was the relationship between fathers severity of depression and their experience of maternal gatekeeping. When a father experiences maternal gatekeeping he feels excluded from parts of family life and caregiving of the child. The target group of the study
