Recently there has been a resurgence of intense experimental and theoretical interest on the Kondo physics of nanoscopic and mesoscopic systems due to the possibility of making experiments in extremely small samples. We have carried out exact diagonalization calculations to study the effect of the energy spacing Delta of the conduction band on the ground-state properties of a dense Anderson model

This book presents a computational approach to the analysis of nonlinear and uncertain systems. The main focus is systems with piecewise linear dynamics. The class of piecewise linear systems examined has nonlinear, possibly discontinuous dynamics, and allows switching rules that incorporate memory and logic. These systems may exhibit astonishingly complex behaviors. Some aspects of the successful

Sustainability has been on the agenda for decades. Yet it is not evident that the development we are witnessing can qualify as sustainable. Departing from an understanding of the adoption of sustainability as an on-going, unfinished process the thesis explores conditions for sustainability in Swedish transport infrastructure policy and planning. The study covers decision processes of three mega-pr

The problem addressed in this thesis is how to account for environmental aspects when purchasing freight transports. This problem is addressed from a transport purchasing perspective. The result of the research is a model for how transport purchasers can incorporate environmental aspects when purchasing freight transports. This mode! is built on two tools and a work process. The first too! is a st

Ett antologikapitel som behandlar hur man definiererar, identifierar och kvalificerar kunskapsutveckling i historia utifrån frågorna varför det är bra att läsa historia och vad en historiker kan som inte andra kan.

The severe fouling common in food processing puts high demands on equipment cleaning. Adsorption of the protein betalactoglobulin to solid surfaces and its subsequent removal were followed using in situ ellipsometry. Most experiments were done in a stirred cuvette. Additionally, a flow cell was designed, which was employed in some work. The characteristics of the surface were shown to influence p

Modern strokebehandling kräver att ett flertal olika specialiteter samverkar vilket gör kunskaper utöver det egna ämnesområdet nödvändiga. Det har hittills saknats en bok som gör att specialisten inom såväl den öppna som slutna vården dels kan hålla sig à jour med det egna området, dels fördjupa sig i angränsande kunskapsområden med dess snabba förändringar. Den första svenska boken om stroke oc

This paper argues for the idea that pedagogical courses for university teachers should be designed with a socio cultural perspective on learning in mind. It also presents an example of such a design. Teaching and learning regimes are ways to understand crucial aspects of teaching within e.g. departments. They are constructed within communities of practice where colleagues use whatever resources t
