The through-silicon via (TSV) is a type of vertical electrical connection that can pass through a silicon wafer or die. By using TSVs, compared to using wire bonding as interconnections in a capacitive fingerprint sensor, the capacitive strength between the sensor die and the finger can be increased. However, since TSV structures are both more complex as structures and have a more complex manufact

Tropical cyclones influence processes within the carbon cycle on different time-scales. Forested ecosystems suffer windfall and long-term impacts from tropical cyclones, leading to the release of CO2 to the atmosphere. The coarse woody debris created by extreme wind speeds and landslides brought on by tropical cyclones can leave a forested ecosystem via riverine channels and end up in the ocean, w

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St

Mikroplastens intåg i den limnologiska miljön - Allmän dammussla (Anodonta anatina) innehåller mikroplast Utan betydande åtgärder kan det år 2050 finnas mer plast än fisk i världens hav, beräknat på vikt. Mikroplast och dess miljöpåverkan är just nu ett mycket aktuellt forskningsämne, mikroplast medför miljöproblem för framförallt marina organismer. För att undersöka hur närvarande mikroplast är Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

Background: Within research, it has been stated that transportation cost is a large part of logistics cost which is a large contributor to supply chain costs. To reduce transportation cost, choosing the appropriate transportation mode is an important decision both on a strategic and tactical level. There are several models and approaches when choosing transportation mode, including several factors

Sous vide går ut på att råvarorna vakuumförpackas i påse för att sedan tillagas i den förslutna påsen vid en temperatur lägre än vad som traditionellt används. Livsmedel som tillagas med sous vide har vanligtvis en bättre smakmässig kvalitet samt en längre hållbarhet än livsmedel som tillagats med traditionella metoder. Många hemmakockar saknar vakuummaskin och tar istället till andra metoder somSous vide is a cooking technique where ingredients are vacuum packed in a bag and then cooked in a waterbath, the temperature of which sous vide is used is often lower than the temperature used for traditionally cooked food. Foods cooked with sous vide usually have a higher quality when it comes to taste, as well as a longer shelf life than food cooked with traditional methods. Since many home co

E-handeln växer sig bara starkare och starkare. För att företagen ska kunna ge en så bra upplevelse som möjligt krävs det att man förstår sig på hur kunderna beter sig. Vi har skapat en matematisk modell som i 80 % av fallen kan förutspå hur en kund kommer agera i framtiden. Länge har butiksförsäljning varit den dominanta inkomstkällan för affärskedjorna, men senaste åren har E-handeln bara vuxit sE-commerceisgrowingwithinalotsofareas.

Världen vi lever i är starkt medialiserad och vi är ständigt på jakt efter uppmärksamhet. Det gäller att få flest likes och för bloggar gäller det att få läsare som genererar klick. De måste ständigt sticka ut i ett uppmärksamhetshav för att fånga och behålla sina läsare. Vi har med den här uppsatsen valt att undersöka Sandra Beijers blogg Niotillfem och hur hon jobbar med sina texter för att få l

With the development of extremely precise spectral filters based on spectral hole burning and slow light effects, the idea of their implementation in an Ultrasound Optical Tomography (UOT) medical imaging technique arose. Simulations have shown that the resulting Contrast-to-Noise (CNR) ratio is fairly good at depths up to 5 cm but decreases dramatically when probing deeper in tissue. One of the p

Fildelningsteknologin revolutionerade internet i början av 1990-talet. I rask takt har fildelningsnätverken utvecklats och utbudet av olovligen tillgängliggjorda filer är större än någonsin. För vanliga internetanvändare innebär nyss nämnda gratis tillgång till film och musik vid efterfrågan. Det kan emellertid medföra stora ekonomiska förluster för rättighetshavarna till verken. Digitaliseringen File sharing technology revolutionized the Internet in the early 1990s. Different networks evolve at a rapid pace and the supply of illegally spread files are greater than ever. For common Internet users this means free, on-demand access to movies and music. However, it may cause major financial losses to the right-holders of copyrighted works, since the digitalization often times means losing con

This examination addresses the problem of proxy warfare in civil wars by examining Iran’s and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the Syrian Civil War. Based on previous theoretical frameworks a new theoretical framework of proxy warfare has been developed which is used to analyze whether Iran’s and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Syria is a case of proxy warfare or not, and if their involvement in the co

The purpose of this essay was to examine the structural composition of the global hegemony, and how it was expressed in peace building in Iraq. In order to examine this, the neoliberal hegemony was outlined with the help of Rovert Cox’s notions of structures and other critical scholars’ notions of neoliberalism. The neoliberal hegemony was expressed in Iraq through an extensive marketization forci

Researchers say that the world is experiencing a “youth bulge” that is creating great socioeconomic and employment-related challenges. The youth bulge also means more young people are falling victims for failed peace processes, political unrest and violence. To address the issues related to youth, peace and security the UN Security Council adopted in December 2015, resolution 2250 (UNSCR2250).¨ T

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Northern Ireland are similar in many ways. Both cases have experienced wars that left the people fragmented and traumatized. But one aspect that separates them is their peace processes. In Bosnia, a peace deal was brokered after three months of intense negotiations. In Northern Ireland, it took two years for an agreement to be reached. Furthermore, both post-war Bosnia and N
