We propose and implement a beyond Gross-Pitaevskii approach based on Many-Body Perturbation theory (MBPT) for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BECs) ground states. Two partitions of the system Hamiltonian are considered. Firstly, a bosonic analogue to Møller-Plesset simply dubbed RSPT, and secondly an approach based on the Epstein-Nesbet partitioning scheme labeled ENPT. We consider one-dime
In direct comparison with other industries, technological innovations are slow to diffuse within the healthcare sector. Scholars estimate that the failure rate of implementing innovation within healthcare organizations range between 30% to 90%. This poses a question as to why the healthcare sector is lagging in the adoption of new technologies. This thesis examines the micro-, industry-level-, tec

Due to problems associated with the use of fossil fuels, new, sustainable methods are needed to synthesize biofuels and chemicals from readily available biomass. In this project, we report a method to quantitatively convert biomass derived chemicals into value-added chemicals and biofuels using hydrosilylation. Cost effective silanes, such as PMHS and TMDS, which are biproducts in silicone industr
The need for land security continues to be urgent for economic development in Africa. Central governments are implementing large-scale land reforms, yet the effects of land title formalisation are still not thoroughly understood.

More than 600 million people are living in coastal areas in the world. According to the trend of population migration, the global coastal area population may increase to more than 1 billion by 2050. In a long term, a series of activities such as sea-level rise due to global warming and unpredictable natural disasters increase the extent of coastal erosion. As coastal erosion continues to intensify
Bakgrund: Träbyggnationer har ökat de senaste åren tack vare ny lagstiftning och krav som ställs. Fuktskador är ett allvarligt problem i trä-byggnader då de kan leda till mögel, röta, missfärgningar och hälsoproblem. Fuktsäkerhetsarbetet är därför en viktig del i bygg-processen och åtgärderna i byggskedet kan minska fuktpåverkan och hindra fuktskador. Frågeställningarna som kommer att besvaras är:Background: Timber construction has increased in recent years thanks to new legislation and requirements. Moisture damage is a serious problem in timber buildings. It can lead to mold, rot, discoloration and health problems. Moisture safety work is therefore an important part of the construction process and the measures in the construction phase can reduce the impact of moisture as well as prevent
Hur gör man för att digitalisera sjukvården? Att införa digitala system i sjukvården är något som visat sig vara väldigt svårt, men vad krävs egentligen för att lyckas?
