We have calculated band-edge energies for most combinations of zinc blende AlN, GaN, InN, GaP, GaAs, InP, InAs, GaSb, and InSb in which one material is strained to the other. Calculations were done for three different geometries (quantum wells, wires, and dots) and mean effective masses were computed in order to estimate confinement energies. For quantum wells, we have also calculated band-edges f

Abstract in French Opérant à 25 °C, on a étudié le comportement de la phase ternaire isotherme et de la structure des systèmes copolymère–eau–xylène amphiphiles de deux copolymères à trois blocs de poly(oxyde d'éthylène)–poly(oxyde de propylène) (PEO–PPO), (EO)4(PO)59(EO)4 et (EO)17(PO)59(EO)17. On a identifié les barrières des phases par RMN du 2H et par inspection sous de la lumière polarisée. OThe isothermal ternary phase behaviour and structure of amphiphilic copolymer-water-xylene systems was investigated for two poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PEO-PPO) triblo k copolymers, (EO)(4)(PO)(59)(EO)(4) and (EO)(17)(PO)(59)(EO)(17), at 25degreesC. The phase boundaries were identified using H-2 NMR and inspection under polarized light. The microstructure and structural length scal
The process of selecting requirements for a release of a software product is challenging as the decision-making is based on uncertain predictions of customer value and development cost. This paper presents a method aimed at supporting software product development organisations in the identification of process improvement proposals to increase requirements selection quality. The method is based on
CMKLR1 (chemoattractant-like receptor 1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor implicated in cartilage and bone development and is expressed in organs like the parathyroid gland, brain, and lung. The receptor is also expressed in dendritic cells and in macrophages where it acts as a co-receptor for entry of HIV/SIV isolates into human CD4(+) cells. Recently, a protein named "chemerin" (also known as TIG
Blue light was generated at room temperature by quasiphase-matched second harmonic generation in planar and channel lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) annealed proton exchange waveguides using the d33 nonlinear coefficient. Alternating ferroelectric domains for third order quasiphase matching were created by poling the substrates with a periodic electric field.
This paper studies the innovative performance of 130 Swedish corporations during 1993-1994. The number of patents per corporation is explained as a function of the accessibility to internal and external knowledge sources of each corporation. A coherent way of handling accessibility measures, within and between corporations located across regions, is introduced. We examine the relative importance o

Chronic itch is a common and distressing symptom that arises from a variety of skin conditions and systemic diseases. Despite this, there is no clinically based classification of pruritic diseases to assist in the diagnosis and cost-effective medical care of patients with pruritus. The proposed classification focuses on clinical signs and distinguishes between diseases with and without primary or
The effect of gamma irradiation (60Co) with doses of 5–30 kGy on the amylose–lipid complex transition and retrogradation occurring in gels containing ca. 50% and ca. 20% wheat starch was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) during heating–cooling–heating cycles (up to three cycles). Transition of the amylose–lipid complex occurs in all the irradiated samples at a lower temperature as
In a seasonally fluctuating environment migratory birds face decisions relating to how to schedule their main life-history activities, i.e. breeding, moult and migration. The time required to complete any one of these depends on overall size. In this paper I derive scaling functions about how time required for breeding, moult and migration depends on body mass. The sum of these increases with incr
A sheet of paper is modelled as a two-dimensional network of cellulose fibres. The fibres are assumed to be either cylindrical or band-shaped. Both well-ordered fibrous structures and fibrous structures in which a random arrangement of fibres is assumed are studied. The equations for creeping flow through such structures are solved, and the calculated permeabilities are compared with measured valu
The present study evaluated the combination of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine A (CsA) in patients with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. Twenty patients (17 with refractory anemia and 3 with refractory anemia with excess blasts) received treatment with rabbit-ATG plus CsA. The overall response rate was 30% (6/20); three of the six responders had a complete response. The responses
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens titel är ju "Redovisning av goodwill". Därför kan det vara lämpligt att fråga sig vad de orden betyder i detta sammanhang. Goodwill har här inte den vanliga betydelsen av det goda anseende som exempelvis ett företag åtnjuter. Det är istället en benämning på skillnaden mellan värdet på hela företaget och summan av värdena på de enskilda tillgångarnaEvery conceivable manner of accounting, in the same country, at the same time! This is how-with no great exaggeration-the accounting of goodwill in Sweden in the late 1980s might well be described. Many companies still followed the Accounting Act, amortizing their goodwill over no more than ten years. Some, however, referred to the rules in the United States, extending the amortization peri
In 1977 there was a radical reform of Swedish universities. According to the reform the six independent schools of social work were incorporated in universities or university colleges. At the same time a new discipline “social work” was established. The independent schools of social work had curricula decided by the government. With the reform this was decentralised. There was a clear risk of gett
