Delays and cost overruns are frequent problems in the construction industries of both developed and developing countries. Studies aimed at identifying the causes are often undertaken with just a broad appreciation of the construction process and frequently do not deal with multicultural issues when considering the reasons for overruns. The paper critically reviews existing attempts to uncover the

Auger spectra of solids arise from radiationless decay of innershell vacancies created by x-ray or electron bombardment. In a corevalence-valence (CVV) Auger process, for instance, one valence electron is filling the core hole while another valence electron is ejected and carries away the excess energy. The core hole is essentially dispersionless, and thus the spectrum of emitted electrons would,

Detta är en logisk uppsamling av arbeten som jag genomfört genom åren och som egentligen började med uppsatsen om gemenskapskonsumtionens framväxt under 1970-talet. Utvecklingen har kommit i vågor: först tanken på konsumtion på EG-nivå, sedan frågan om det gemensamma ursprungets betydelse, därefter frågan om ompackning och ommärkning och nu senast den internationella dimensionen. Hela tiden har de

This thesis, which is based on four original papers, deals with human dendritic cells (DCs) in immunity and allergy. DCs play a key role in the regulation of immune responses by acting as the sentinels of the immune system, specialized in the uptake of a diverse range of antigens. These cells migrate to local lymph nodes and become highly efficient in inducing T cell proliferation, thus inducing a

De multilaterala handelsförhandlingarna har bidragit till att sänka EU:s tullar till historiskt låga nivåer. Flera kvantitativa handelshinder har tagits bort och den hämmande effekten av andra icke-tariffära hinder, såsom tekniska standarder, har också minskat, delvis som en följd av införandet av den europeiska inre marknaden. Det återstår dock betydande handelshinder av en mer administrativ kara

The investigation is confined to the last period of Endre Nemes' work, when after an abstract phase, he returned to creating deeply complex figurative works. During this period he consistently prepared his public works of art (as he also did with his paintings) by using collage on a small scale. The study examines how meaning and significance are generated in both material, plastic and iconic stra

Bound animal bodies. Ornamentation and skaldic poetry in the process of Christianization.

This paper analyzes rigidities in the behavior of the mark-up on regular, midgrade and premium varieties of petrol in the New York area using a set of weekly frequency data and a methodology that analyzes the pricing process using deterministic and stochastic techniques. The results are consistent across methodologies and indicate that the speeds of adjustment to the long run equilibrium mark-up d
