We study through electromagnetic modeling the absorption of light of a given wavelength in an array of horizontal InP nanowires of diameter less than 100 nm. Such absorption is performed most efficiently by using polarized light and by exciting a coupled optical resonance in a sparse array. In that case, we excite a resonance in the individual nanowires and couple the resonances in neighboring nan

Med viss kritisk distans skildras ortodoxins bibelargumentation, då det gäller dopet som medel till pånyttfödelse. Tanken att alla spädbarn som döps undfår tro och pånyttfödelse i dopet sätts i samband med ortodoxins syn på viljefrihet och predestination. Det betonas också att dopet för de ortodoxa ej var något absolut villkor för att en person skulle räknas som medlem i kyrkan.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of current systems for product identification utilized within the Swedish sector of construction and facility management. The study also discusses the concept of object and class identification in information systems development. The purpose of the study is to identify and define concepts in a common information structure that provides a framework fo

Popular Abstract in English Proteins are a class of biological macromolecules that perform countless fundamental and diverse functions in living organisms. Chemically speaking, they are polymers built out of monomeric units called amino acids. All biological proteins are constructed out of 20 different amino-acid types. To form protein molecules, amino acids are linked together in a linear chain lThe minimum free energy state of a protein (the native state) is encoded by its amino-acid sequence. Due to the many torsional degrees of freedom (DOF) available to a polypeptide chain, a vast number of conformations is possible. Therefore, to predict the native state of a protein directly from sequence, a computer algorithm must evaluate a large number of possible conformations using accurate sco

Widespread presence of toxic and persistent pollutants in the environment, even at low concentrations, causes risks of adverse effects to human health and the ecosystem. Biological methods for treatment of water streams and removal of persistent pollutants are of great interest due to their simplicity, low cost, and mild operational conditions without harmful by-products. The purpose of this resea

The purpose of this paper is to examine current practices of load factor utilisation of road transport. An interview study of five shippers and two transport providers were conducted. The research shows that transport providers seem to work efficiently with operational practices to improve the load factor, but the load factor seems not to be highly prioritised when it comes to strategic decisions.

Molecular imprinting technology is derived from the concept of creating designed recognition sites in macromolecular matrices by means of template polymerisation. Molecularly imprinted polymers are able to mimic recognition in natural binding events, such as antibody-antigen and receptor-ligand interactions. This thesis addresses some aspects of the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers an

I artikeln belyses den samlade svenska diskrimineringslagen (2009) från ett perspektiv av intersektionalitet. Genom en analys av ett antal mål från den svenska arbetsdomstolen där minst två diskrimineringsgrunder har varit aktuella, visar författare att det det både brister hos arbetsdomstolen när det gäller att förstå individers utsatthet när det gäller multipel diskriminering och lagen som sådan
