The C 1s photoemission spectrum of methoxy (CH3O) chemisorbed on Cu(100) is demonstrated to contain a resolvable fine structure due to excitation of the molecular C-H normal vibrational mode. The origin of the fine structure is ascertained by substituting hydrogen with deuterium in the methoxy overlayers and by comparison to gas-phase C 1s spectra for methanol (CH3OH). The vibrational fine structu

We report on the build-up of the new undulator beam line 1411 at the third-generation synchrotron radiation facility MAX II in Lund, Sweden. This beam line is based on an upgraded version of the modified SX700-monochromator and the end station which were installed previously at beam line 51 at MAX I. The end station is equipped with a rotatable Scienta hemispherical electron-analyser making angle-

A scanning photoelectron microscope, utilizing a focused beam of monochromatized photons in the energy range from 15 to 150 eV, has been used to study the thermal desorption of oxide layers on Si(100). The instrument can provide high-resolution photoelectron spectra from selected parts of the surface as well as images showing the lateral distribution (on a micrometer scale) of elements in differen

We report on the performance of a grazing incidence spherical grating monochromator installed at MAX I and designed to cover the photon energy range from about 15-200 eV with high resolving power. It is intended mainly for angle-resolved photoemission work. Therefore, both refocusing optics, to obtain a small spot size at the sample, and a higher order light suppressor, to reduce the content of hi

Bacterial surface-associated plasmin formation is believed to contribute to invasion, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. To define the components necessary for plasmin generation on group A streptococci we used strain AP53 which exposes an M-like protein ("PAM") that contains a plasminogen-binding sequence with two 13-amino acid residues long tandem repeats (a1 and

During the establishmen of an NGO Maritime Rescue Service (MRS)in the Lake Albert region in Uganda, the intelligence information management (IM) needs of the operation cere compared with earlier IM experiences of a combined peace keeping mission. This paper describes the MRS oparation IM needs. Furthermore, the Joint Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM) is introducea as th

Denna uppsats markerar ett nytt och kompletterande spår i Certecs verksamhet: att i datormodellens form simulera mänskligt lärande. Förhoppningen är att det därigenom skall komma fram nya idéer både om lärande och om pedagogiska möjligheter kring hur man kan stötta lärandet. Certec kommer att medverka till att den nya kunskapen i första hand skall komma människor med inlärningssvårigheter till god

This study explored individual differences in eye movements during visual imagery. Eye movements were recorded for participants who recalled a picture from memory while looking at a blank screen. All participants were tested for working memory capacity and the OSIVQ (Blazhenkova & Kozhevnikov, 2009) was used as an assessment for individual differences in object imagery, spatial imagery and ver
