Supplemental Instruction (SI) är som framgår av namnet ett komplement till den ordinarie undervisningen i en kurs. Tanken med SI är att inlärningen av ett ämne förstärks genom utbyte av tankar och idéer mellan studenterna. Vid LTH är SI-verksamheten knuten till en initiell ”svår” kurs för nybörjarstudenter. SI sker i möten om ca 5-15 studenter där diskussionen leds av en äldre student. Den äldre s

The aim of this thesis is to describe how the luminosity can be measured in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Luminosity is a fundamental quantity that is used in most physics studies at the LHC. For example in order to measure cross sections. Firstly, the detector description of LUCID which has been implemented in the global ATLAS software framework is described and validated. Se

The focus of this chapter is on musical agency in professional contexts and in Higher Music Education (HME). What is musical agency? How can musical agency be investigated, promoted, and developed? Cultural-historical activity theory approaches hold a potential for exploring and answering such questions with a dialectical perspective on creativity. Three examples of interventionist studies from a

When a resting cell is awakened to enter the cell cycle by mitogenic stimulation, a complex molecular machinery involving positive and negative regulation of cell-cycle progression is initiated. Part of the machinery is quite well-known. It involves receptors of various kinds, protein interactions, phosphorylation reactions, and molecular cascades carrying the signal to enter the cell cycle from t

A dual band antenna for two ISM bands at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz has been evaluated. The antenna structure derives its advantage by deploying several radiators as fingers spreading from a single feeding point. Each radiator functions as both a half-wave and a quarter-wave radiator. Arranging them in parallel matches the half-wave resonance to 50 W. By carefully selecting the angle to ground plane and us

We introduce and analyze new constructions of LDPC convolutional codes and their tail-biting versions which are obtained from braided convolutional codes. The basic ideas behind the encoding and decoding architectures for these codes are presented. Additionally, asymptotic results concerning the iterative thresholds are shown for different ensembles. Finally, we evaluate the bit error rate perform

Popular Abstract in Swedish Extrakt från växten Artemisia annua har dokumenterats för sina anti-malaria egenskaper. Substansen är en mycket effektiv medicin mot malaria och hjälper även mot de former där multi-resistens utvecklats.1979 presenterades strukturen på den aktiva substansen. Den benämns artemisinin och är uppbygd av femton kol innehållandes en peroxid-brygga (två syre kopplade till varaPlants produce a multitude of different compounds that may have biotic effects. Artemisia annua, produces a compound used as a drug against multi-drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite causing malaria. The compound, artemisinin, is a sesquiterpene and is an essential component for the production of artemisinin drugs against malaria. In a first critical step of the biosynthes

A major component of aircraft noise is the jet noise created by the high velocity hot stream exhausting from a jet engine, interacting with itself and with the surrounding cold air. In the present paper the flow and acoustic fields that are generated by two coaxial jets are considered. Numerically, the problem is divided into a flow related part (Navier-Stokes system of equation) and an acoustic p

This article surveys the history of interpretation of Joseph / Yusuf in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions, focusing on the gender perspective in Jewish sources, typology in the Christian tradition, and the theocentric perspective in Muslim texts.

The aim of this part of the RightTimePlaceCare study (WP2) was to describe and analyse the European health, social care and welfare systems, advocacy and informal caregiver support systems for patients with dementia. The description and analyses covers the continuum of care from diagnosis, informal care, contributions from civic society, public home care and the intermediate forms of care, to the
