Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a gas-phase thin film deposition technique based on repeated, self-terminating gas-solid reactions, has become the method of choice in semiconductor manufacturing and many other technological areas for depositing thin conformal inorganic material layers for various applications. ALD has been discovered and developed independently, at least twice, under different name

Hur kan juridiken användas för att motverka strukturell diskriminering. Det är en av de många frågor som ställs i "Att förstå lagstiftning om diskrimineirng och mänskliga rättigheter". Syftet med boken är att ge kunskap och verktyg för rörelse ock aktivitet. I sju kapitel tas frågor upp genom exempel som handlar om bland annat anställning, rätten till bostad, löner och åldersdiskrimineirng. Gränse

Den svenska arbetsdomstolen har visat en stor motvilja mot att använda diskrimineringslagen och dess föregångare mot arbetsgivare som följer den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. Detta belyses med rättsfallen AD 2005 nr 69 och 2013 nr 64. I båda dessa rättsfall hade fackföreningen valt att gå domstolsvägen utan att först ha använt alla verktyg som deras kollektivavtal gav. Något som ska vara tillåte

Changes in oxytocin and cortisol levels were tested in healthy volunteers during hypnotic interactions in standardized laboratory sessions. Preto posthypnosis changes of oxytocin and cortisol were related to the hypnotic susceptibility of subjects and the relational experiences reposted by subjects and hypnotists on several paper-and-pencil tests. Results show that the changes in oxytocin are not

System-thinking and related systemic methods enhance traditional risk and hazard assessments and accident analysis, as well as system design. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) is a recently developed method for systemic analysis. FRAM facilitates descriptions of the functional relations among system elements. In case of large systems (e.g. several agents, multiple procedures, many te

We consider channel shortening (CS) algorithms for communication systems where multiple single antenna nodes are transmitting single carrier signals to a single antenna receiver over known intersymbol interference channels. We discuss seven methods to shorten the intersymbol interference (ISI) channels, and the parameters are optimized from a generalized mutual information (GMI) perspective. The m

We have experimented with different neural network based architectures for bio-inspired self-organizing texture and hardness perception systems. To this end we have developed a microphone based texture sensor and a hardnesssensor that measures the compression of the material at a constant pressure.We have implemented and successfully tested both monomodal systems for texture and hardness perceptio

Aim: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. This study focuses on Heat Shock Protein 27 (HSP27), Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and HbA1c and their possible roles in effects of diabetes on the autonomic nervous system.Methods: Patients with Aim Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system.

Background: A complexity of factors determines outcome of foot ulcer infections in diabetic subjects. Variations in patient characteristics, treatment strategies and differences in health care systems may influence outcome. Objective: To evaluate the homogeneity in patients with diabetic foot ulcer infections of sufficient severity to warrant antibiotic treatment in three different European foot c
