Implementation of the sectional aerosol module SALSA2.0 into the PALM model system 6.0 : Model development and first evaluation

Urban pedestrian-level air quality is a result of an interplay between turbulent dispersion conditions, background concentrations, and heterogeneous local emissions of air pollutants and their transformation processes. Still, the complexity of these interactions cannot be resolved by the commonly used air quality models. By embedding the sectional aerosol module SALSA2.0 into the large-eddy simula

PCR inhibition mechanisms in forensic DNA analysis

In forensic DNA analysis, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables DNAanalysis of minute biological crime scene traces. PCR is an enzymatic reaction for amplification of specific DNA fragments involving both biochemical andbiophysical processes. The main analytical challenge is posed by the nature of the samples of interest. Crime scene samples are heterogeneous and often contain background mat

Simultaneous Growth of Pure Wurtzite and Zinc Blende Nanowires

The opportunity to engineer III-V nanowires in wurtzite and zinc blende crystal structure allows for exploring properties not conventionally available in the bulk form as well as opening the opportunity for use of additional degrees of freedom in device fabrication. However, the fundamental understanding of the nature of polytypism in III-V nanowire growth is still lacking key ingredients to be ab

Measurements of Strain and Bandgap of Coherently Epitaxially Grown Wurtzite InAsP-InP Core-Shell Nanowires

We report on experimental determination of the strain and bandgap of InAsP in epitaxially grown InAsP-InP core-shell nanowires. The core-shell nanowires are grown via metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The as-grown nanowires are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-photoluminescence (μPL) spectroscopy, and micro-Raman (μ-Raman) spectroscopy measurements. We o

Beyond Miracle and Malaise. Social Capability in Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal during the Development Era 1930–1980

This paper investigates the outcome of the efforts to economically catch up during theso-called development era in French-speaking West Africa. An attempt is made tomeasure and discuss key elements of social capability over the period 1930–1980 inCôte d’Ivoire and Senegal following Moses Abramovitz’interpretation of socialcapability. The paper distinguishes between four elements of social capabili

Optimal Performance of Advanced Radiating Structures

Requirements on radiating structures are constantly increasing, demand for faster speed, smaller size, and higher reliability drives today's technical development. However, for electrically small structures, less than half-a-wavelength in size, performance is fundamentally limited by physical size. This thesis explores how to construct and calculate physical bounds for advanced antennas and comple

Redeeming the Canon: Transdisciplinary Collocations

The canon has been remolded under the influence of later developments in technology and media. Posthumanism and Communication and Performance Studies push forward the demythization – initiated by the Cultural Studies – of the aesthetic isolationism of the New Criticism. The new developments do not dispute the primacy of the aesthetic/truthful criteria used for informing the canon, but they disclos

Temperature Dependence of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Simulations : What are We Missing?

The temperature dependence of the conformational properties in simulations of the intrinsically disordered model protein histatin 5 has been investigated using different combinations of force fields, water models, and atomistic and coarse-grained methods. The results have been compared to experimental data obtained from NMR, SAXS, and CD experiments to assess the accuracy and validity of the simul

Manuring practices in the first millennium AD in southern Sweden inferred from isotopic analysis of crop remains

This study uses crop stable nitrogen isotope analysis of charred grain to explore manuring practices in arable production at the affluent regional center Uppåkra and a set of smaller surrounding sites, dating to the first millennium AD in southern Sweden. The isotopic analysis focuses on hulled barley, the principle crop in the Scandinavian Iron Age, and the minor crops: bread wheat, emmer wheat,
