Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom århundradena har ingenjörskonsten och naturvetenskapen genomsyrats av en önskan att förstå och kontrollera den materia som omger oss. All materia, till exempel träd, byggnader och mobiltelefoner, består av olika slags atomer som är arrangerade i en mängd olika strukturer. Från människans första försök att tillverka redskap genom att manipulera flintstenar och metaThis thesis investigates different methods for treating strongly correlated systems, and discusses their respective strengths and weaknesses. Many of the results presented in this thesis come from comparing the different methods and approximations to exact results. Paper I: We studied the real-time dynamics of a trapped fermion gas, as it expands after removal of a trapping potential. Paper II: We

We investigate whether acquiring more education when young has long-term effects on risk-taking behavior in financial markets and whether the effects spill over to spouses and children. There is substantial evidence that more educated people are more likely to invest in the stock market. However, little is known about whether this is a causal effect of education or whether it arises from the corre

In this paper, the results from a joint industry-academia project in industrial robotic force control are presented. The extension and implementation of an external sensor system for an industrial robot system, which can be used for high-bandwidth force control, are described. Results from two industrial applications using the system are presented, a stub grinding application using a new compliant

This is a German translation of "Förrädaren, skökan och självmördaren", an analysis of medieval narrative culture, expemplified by legends about Judas Iscariot, Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate and Joseph of Arimathea.

This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. In this thesis, I also analyze two different processes that may give rise to parent-offspring conflicts in angiosperms, viz. seed germination and se

Pressure on reducing prices and a market demand for customisation and shorter production runs give cause for investigating alternatives to conventional printing. Traditional technologies, such as flexography and offset, are all using static printing forms, while a digital printing unit prints information directly from the data file. Hence, the latter alternative makes it possible to produce short

Vid LTH ska lärare under kursers genomförande ha kvalitetsdialog med studenterna. I samband med kursslut ska studenterna ges möjligheten till kursvärdering med enkäten CEQ (Course Experience Questionnaire). Enkätdata från CEQ avses utgöra delar av underlaget för kvalitetsarbetet. Svarsfrekvenserna för kursvärderingsenkäterna vid LTH varierar stort, med ett snitt på drygt 50 %. När upplevelser, upp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling problematiserar rörelsebegreppets politiska dimensioner med utgångspunkt i bondeupproret i Skåne 1811 samt skandinavismen vid 1800-talets mitt. Avhandlingen skall läsas som en kommentar till nutida utomparlamentariska röelser.A political movement is often discussed in terms of ideology and shared values. It is the ideas that are considered interesting, and it is the ideas that are thought to determine the action. While the intellectual content is subjected to profound analysis, the concept of movement is ignored and not problematized. In this dissertation, the ideological dimensions of the concept movement have been re
