We present fully self-consistent results for the self-energy of the electron gas within the GW approximation. This means that the self-consistent Green’s function G, as obtained from Dyson’s equation, is used not only for obtaining the self-energy but also for constructing the screened interaction W within the random-phase approximation. Such a theory is particle and energy conserving in the sense

The paper describes a novel method for self tuning cylinder pressure based heat release computation that is suitable for online usage in e.g. combustion phasing control applications. The method estimates the polytropic exponents and cylinder pressure offsets immediately preceding and succeeding the combustion event respectively using a fast nonlinear least squares method. The polytropic exponent a

In twentieth-century music scholarship, those of Franz Schubert’s songs from the 1810s that form sectional musical structures have normally been presented as being unfortunately dependent on aesthetically disparaged eighteenth-century models. Authors have often treated these songs succinctly, preferring instead to invest their energy in the “masterworks” of Schubert’s later years. The present thes

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.

When reading this book you are embarking on an ethnographic journey, granting you access into the field of ethnography, its methods, knowledge claims and aims. The journey takes you to the indigenous people of Japan, a warrior Nation in Canada and Wall Street financial actors. The book reaches beyond fragmentary knowledge of the studied people and opens up for illustrating not only ethnography in

This chapter provides a brief introduction into the basic nonlinear-optical phenomena and discusses some of the most significant recent advances and breakthroughs in nonlinear optics, as well as novel applications of nonlinear-optical processes and devices. Nonlinear optics is the area of optics that studies the interaction of light with matter in the regime where the response of the material syst

Despite the increasing research activity on structural use of glass in the past years, there is still a lack of comprehensive design codes and standards linked to real-life applications on a structural level. However, more and more ambitious buildings and structures are built every year. Thus the knowledge is out there. The aim of the presented project is to collect data on the existing design phi

The study of spatial frequency is being used increasingly often to investigate processes underlying visual word recognition. However, research in this area has adopted techniques that require the physical deformation of word targets used in experiments (e.g., filtered images of words, words embedded in visual noise), and this approach may limit the inferences that can be made about the role of spa

Raman scattering is a possible technique for analysing gas mixtures. In the work here described Raman scattering was used for detection of gases extracted from different model fires, where wood, polymethylmetachrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene were used as test materials. Raman spectra of gas samples from differently ventilated model fires are presented as well as the variation of O2, CO2 and CO conc
