Transport through a resonator-coupled double quantum dot

Nanoscale systems coupled to superconducting circuits offer a platform to study a variety of research questions ranging from more fundamental investigations on the quantum nature of light interacting with matter to more application-oriented ones such as quantum computing and communication. These hybrid systems have thus gained a great deal of attention in the community in the recent years and have

Career and family : Does outsourcing household work matter?

Despite the traditionally generous family policies in Scandinavian welfare states, few new initiatives have been introduced to alleviate the pressures of paid and unpaid work over the past decades. This 'double burden' of paid and unpaid work, particularly impacting women, can impact economic, demographic, and social outcomes. It becomes heavier as societies are faced by an ageing population.

High-Density Standard Cell Library for Sequential 3D Integrated Circuits

Research efforts to push the integration density of circuits with technologies that transcend Moore's law have gained significant attention in recent years. This study investigates the silicon area gains of Sequential 3D technology, utilizing the third dimension of integrated circuits by accommodating nMOS and pMOS transistors in two stacked tiers with high-density and low-pitch 3D vias. The effic

Architectural terracottas from San Giovenale : Addenda and conclusions

The publication of most excavation areas at San Giovenale has made it possible to offer a much more detailed and more accurate account of the use of architectural terracottas at the site. This article presents the finds according to categories and types as well as according to their distribution in different excavation areas. It also discusses technical matters and chronological issues. A survey o

Toward an intersectional equity approach in social-ecological transformations

Non-technical summaryEnsuring more equitable transformations requires addressing how different contextual dimensions of identity, such as gender and class, hinder equity. However, previous analyses on equity have addressed these dimensions separately. We suggest advancing beyond these methods by integrating intersectional analysis into the distributive, procedural, and recognition aspects of equit

Sick sinus syndrome and high-degree atrioventricular block in dementia with Lewy bodies and other dementia subtypes : A study of ≈ 73,000 patients with dementia

INTRODUCTION: Lewy body pathology is commonly found in cardiac nervous tissue, including the cardiac conduction system. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and high-degree atrioventricular block in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) compared to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementia subtypes.METHODS: We included 73,619 individuals diagnosed with dementia f

Contemporary Tree Lore and the Ancient Worship of Trees : The Contributions of James Frazer to the Contemporary Study of Religion and Ecology

This chapter argues that Frazer's writings on the worship of trees contribute to the discussion on religion and ecology within the environmental humanities. Frazer's idea that animism and seeing trees as living and worthy of respect supports an ethical relation to trees has been furthered in a contemporary context where sentient trees support an ecological ethos. Frazer's idea is related to Lynn W

Ion Current-Based Knock Detection using Convolutional Neural Networks

Engine knock, an abnormal combustion phenomenon, can lead to significant engine damage and reduced performance in spark-ignited internal combustion engines. Traditional knock detection methods using acoustic sensors are prone to errors and limited by their sensitivity to sensor placement and engine noise. This study employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify knocking events using ion

Lagging fires, their implications for the process industry, test methods, and mitigative actions

Lagging fires, also known as insulation fires, pose significant risks in the process industry, arising from the self-heating of leaked combustible liquids within insulation materials. These fires typically initiate through oxidation, leading to smouldering that can escalate into larger fires or serve as ignition sources for other flammable materials. Statistics from the Swedish Contingency Agency

Reshoring before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in an advanced economy

Purpose: The purpose is to investigate how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed relocation behavior in an advanced economy. We compare manufacturing relocations before and during the pandemic to identify differences and similarities over time and between offshoring and backshoring. Design/methodology/approach: We use an exploratory longitudinal trend survey approach with data f

Short-Range Propagation Characteristics in an Ice-Covered Lake

This paper examines the short-range propagation characteristics of sound wave propagation in an ice covered lake experiment. The studied measurements were made in February 2024 in the shallow Song-Hua lake in northern China. The experiment illustrates how the wave propagation notably varies as a function of depth and due to changes in the water temperature, but also how the ice cover influences th

Experimental and Computational Analysis of Mode I Fracture in Wood : Likelihood-based inference and finite element model updating

This thesis covers the estimation of the fracture behaviour of the European wood species Norway spruce and birch. The fracture behavior of wood can be quantified through three material parameters: the stiffness, the strength, and the specific fracture energy. In the present work, these parameters are characterized through two methods.The first method is purely experimental and only estimates one pThis thesis covers the estimation of the fracture behaviour of the European woodspecies Norway spruce and birch.

Incomplete markets as correlated distortions

We argue that capital misallocation arises endogenously due to incompleteconsumption insurance. We model risk-averse entrepreneurs withheterogeneous productivity who face idiosyncratic output shocks and choosehow much capital to rent before uncertainty unfolds. We show that incompletemarkets operate as correlated distortions, leading to a reallocation ofcapital from more to less productive firms r

Students’ Reasons for Absence in First-cycle Engineering Education – an Interview Study

Varför kommer inte studenterna på undervisningen?Många lärare på LTH har frågat sig detta eftersom vi ser en tydlig negativ trend: antalet studenter som närvarar på campusförlagda föreläsningar och övningar i grundutbildningen minskar för varje år som går. Eftersom studentnärvaro länge har setts som en nyckelfaktor för studieframgång, kommer det inte som en överraskning att många inom högre utbildThe importance of attendance in higher education has for decades been stressed forstudent performance. However, student absenteeism has in recent years been a growingconcern globally – including in engineering education. Meanwhile, the educationalenvironment has been influenced by the rise of digital learning resources, acceleratedby distance education during COVID-19 pandemic. The changed behavio
