The Swedish state-funded "own-home activity" lasted between 1904 and 1948. In this study the main focus is on the background and the early development og this activity on the Swedish countryside, i.e. on the creation of small-holdings. The dissertation gives the social and political background to the movement; shows the spread of state-funded small-holding in the Swedish countyside during the peri

In this article Gerd Theissen's approach to psychological interpreation of biblical texts is presented and analysed.

The published papers and introductory part of this thesis concentrate on the in-situ characterization of (001) surfaces of GaAs, InAs, InP and GaP. The experimental tools used in these studies were a chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) machine equipped with a reflection high energy electron (RHEED) system and a reflectance difference (RD) optical set-up. In some studies also a reflectance difference spect

A semantic editor, providing services like completion and code browsing, can help users to quickly develop high-quality source code. However, a lot of languages still lack semantic editor support due to the difficulty and costs of development. Tool generation and reuse can greatly alleviate this development task. Specifically, tool generation from a formal specification, such as reference attribut

Languages differ with respect to which element they select as the subject in passive of ditransitive verbs: either the active indirect object (the goal argument) or the active direct object (the theme argument). In standard American English, e.g., only the goal argument may be promoted, as shown by the difference between (1b) and (1c). (1) a. John gave Mary a red bike yesterday. b. Mary was give

A method for rapidly assessing a patient's arterial stiffness and hence risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) without resorting to laborious blood tests is presented. Simple measurement of a patient's volume pulse measured at the finger-tip (digital volume pulse) using an infrared light absorption detector placed on the index finger is sufficient to predict their CVD risk. Suitable featu

In a free-electron laser (FEL), the technique of wiggler tapering enables the sustained growth of radiation power beyond the initial saturation. With the goal to develop anX-ray FEL in the terawatt power regime, it is important to utilize this technique and optimize the taper profile,giving the wiggler parameter as a function of the distance along the wiggler line. This article examines two method
