The south-west Andean region of Bolivia has vast landscapes comprising salt deserts and dry lands interspersed with a number of saline lakes. Much of this region lies above 4000 m above sea level that allows the survival of limited and unique flora and fauna. This thesis involves studies on novel, moderately halophilic microorganisms isolated from this region. Strains LC1T and LC2 were isolated fr
The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of international commercial arbitration and its development as a legal and cultural entity. The recent changes within the field of arbitration are intimately related to the intensification of global exchanges and the growth of “world society”. It follows that any sociological study of arbitration must be conducted in light of the on-going glo
The paper examines the impact of Rician fading on the orthogonality of dual-polarized MIMO channels in a measured urban macrocellular scenario. The measurements confirm the previous finding that the Rician
DNA Microarrays introduces all up-to-date microarray platforms and their various applications. It is written for scientists who are entering the field of DNA microarrays as well as those already familiar with the technology, but interested in new applications and methods.
The Antarctic Treaty was concluded by twelve states in Washington on 1 December 1959. Although the Antarctic Treaty has a limited number of parties, its impact has been considerable and lauded, but also questioned. A number of international agreements have developed subsequent to, and under the auspices of, the Antarctic Treaty; all of which have contributed to the establishment and strengthening
We apply the viable system model (VSM) in the management control system (MCS) area in order to address the multifariousrelationships between enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and budgeting through the introduction of five researchcriteria: ERP system, budgeting, informal control, organizational hierarchy and the relationships among them. The researchquestion discussed is: How can we devel
Vad är genus(vetenskap)? Handlar det bara om kvinnor och kanske om män? I denna bok vill författarna spegla och utmana den svenska genusvetenskapen genom att utforska hur genusrelationer samverkar med andra förtryckssystem, som klass och etniska relationer. Ett feministiskt perspektiv på genus(vetenskap) innebär för författarna “mer än bara kvinnor och män” i två bemärkelser. För det första att g
Popular Abstract in Swedish Geografisk fördelning av inomartsvariation i vittspridda Euroasiska skogsväxter Torbjörn Tyler Sammanfattning av författaren's doktorsavhandling Inledning Arter's utbredningar bestäm's inte bara av omvärldsfaktorer som klimat och jordmån utan även av de möjligheter det givit's dem att sprida sig. För att sprida sig över stora geografiska områden kräv's tid och i en väMany woodland plant species have huge distribution areas covering large parts of the Eurasian continent including areas that were glaciated during the last glacial period. In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-
The Swedish county council Region Skane is developing work processes for iterative risk and vulnerability analyses. This will be arranged in a distributed bottom-up manner, where analyses are performed and results reported through three hierarchical levels, ending at a central unit within the county council organisation. That unit is responsible for three tasks: 1) Establish a summary of the risks
I detta kapitel har vi undersökt hur sex industrigymnasier, knutna till multinationella företag, ser på utlandspraktik. Vi har frågat skolrepresentanter och elever om varför utlandspraktik ingår i utbildningen, vad som förväntas av eleverna och vad de själva förväntar sig, vilka erfarenheter och kunskaper som betraktas som viktiga samt om utlandspraktiken har någon betydelse för anställningsbarhet
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ämnet för den här avhandlingen är tillverkning och studier av elektroniska komponenter tillverkade av mycket små tråd- och punktformade byggmateriel. Diametern hos en sådan tråd kan vara så liten som 1 nanometer, vilket motsvarar en miljondels millimeter. När komponenter krymps till de här ytterst små dimensionerna uppstår nya fenomen, och parametrar som kan tyckas varaThis thesis describes novel methods for the fabrication of nanometer-scale electronic devices, such as single-electron transistors and resonant tunneling diodes, from wire- and dot-shaped building blocks. The first part of the thesis describes the manipulation of metal nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes using an atomic force microscope. Single-electron transistors were realized by moving nanotubes
