The Implementation of the Frequency-Time Encoded Decoy-State Protocol with the Slow-Light Effect for Quantum Memories

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure encryption key generation process to be used by two users in the presence of an eavesdropper. The no-cloning theorem allows the sender "Alice" to securely send qubits with single photons to the receiver "Bob". However, due to real-life imperfections, it is not always possible to have a single-photon source with its properties matching Since the dawn of the first civilizations, the security of information has proven vital to the success of any given community. History records the first attempts at using cryptography techniques in a 1900 BC to 600 BC time frame. In ancient times, the working mechanism of this technique involved the use of letters in the alphabet. To secure the information, these techniques shifted the letters’ nu

Initial evaluation of the combined effects of nanoplastics and 17α-ethinylestradiol on D. magna

Nanoplastens påverkan sänks av preventivmedel Alla har vi hört om tvåkönade fiskar som har knaprat de preventivmedel vi spolat ut i haven, och mer och mer information kommer om hur de enorma mängder plast vi använder tar sig ut i naturen och hur de sedan bryts ned till partiklar som är mindre än våra egna mänskliga celler. Information finns till viss mån om den individuella påverkan av dessa föroExposure of combined pollutants is as of today not a very well-researched field of environmental science due to the complex interactions that may occur. Nanoplastic particles (NP) in particular are lacking studies due to the relatively new interest in the subject. In this study, a small experiment in a lab environment was performed that observed the combined effects of polysterene NP and 17α-ethin

Beteenden kring returer på internet

Allt fler konsumenter vänder sig idag till e-handeln när de ska handla, vilket har visat på ett ändrat konsumentbeteende. I och med att allt fler branscher och företag anammar e-handeln och att konsumenter känner sig mer bekväma med att handla online, så ökar också returerna. Den här studien syftar till att förklara och få en ökad förståelse för varför konsumenter returnerar kläder och skor på int

Assessment of People's Perception of Fire Growth: A Virtual Reality Study

One important aspect that is considered when designing safer buildings is human behavior. A comprehensive assessment of how people react during a fire, provides engineers valuable information, which will allow them to develop effective solutions to help people reach a safe place under tenable conditions. When evacuating a building, a key factor is pre-evacuation time, this is the lapse of time tha

Från hyresrätt till annan upplåtelseform - bostadsrätt eller äganderätt

De upplåtelseformer som finns idag är hyresrätt, bostadsrätt, kooperativ hyresrätt och äganderätt. Hyresrätt är den vanligaste upplåtelseformen men det har blivit vanligare med ombildningar där hyresrätt övergår till bostadsrätt. Idag är det inte möjligt att omvandla hyresrätter till ägarlägenheter men då det finns ett lagförslag kan detta komma att bli aktuellt fram över. Udda förvaltningsfastiTenancy, tenant ownership, cooperative tenancy and freehold are the forms of tenure that are available today. Tenancy is the most common form of tenure but it has become more common to transform tenancy into tenant ownership. Today it is not possible to transfer tenancy right to condominium but there is a proposal to change the law which would make it possible in the future. The purpose of this pa

Pre-fetching and Caching in Catch-Up TV Network

Nowadays, huge amounts of data are transferred over the Internet. Video content is a vast majority of the data traffic. A part of this data is wasted due to many reasons. Transmitting large amounts of data across a network leads to network congestion and start-up delay of the video playback, which is one of the reasons of data loss. Another reason is the negative effect of impatient users or so-ca

VisCon - Visualisering av tvådimensionell konsolidering i undervisningssammanhang

Datorer används allt oftare i undervisningssammanhang. En stor styrka ligger i möjligheten att på ett enkelt sätt kunna genomföra avancerade beräkningar och visualisera komplexa fenomen. VisCon är ett program som har utvecklats för att underlätta förståelsen av vad som händer i en jord när man belastar den med en byggnad eller en anläggning. Det här är en viktig kunskap för att undvika skador på bWhen a ground surface is subjected to a load an increased level of stress will occur in the soil underneath. As soil material has a limited permeability, an increased stress will initially result in an excess pore water pressure. However, as time passes the water will flow and the pore water pressure will even out. The relation between the total stress, the excess pore water pressure and the effec

Branching Histories: Political Mythopoetics in Four Brexit Narratives

This thesis aims to provide a case study for a critical theory of mythopoetics, via analysis of four ‘Brexit narratives’: The Bad Boys of Brexit by Arron Banks, Unleashing Demons by Craig Oliver, All Out War by Tim Shipman and The Brexit Club by Owen Bennett. My objective is to demonstrate the prevalence of mythopoetics in political and historical discourse, via analysis of four competing politica

Construction of a Novel miRNA Library Preparation kit for Next Generation Sequencing

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) är små, enkelsträngade RNA molekyler som består av cirka 22 molekylära byggstenar, nukleotider. Nukleotiderna består antingen av adenin (A), guanin (G), cytosin (C) eller uracil (U). Dessa små RNA molekyler är involverade i flertalet sjukdomar och genom att hitta sekvensen av dessa A, G, C, T i ett biologiskt prov, kan miRNAt agera som markör för att hitta nya behandlingsmetoderMicroRNAs are small single stranded RNA molecules containing approximately 22 nucleotides and these play an important regulatory role in gene expression. MicroRNAs are found to be involved in several diseases and knowledge about their sequences can be an important tool in the foundation of novel treatment methods against diseases. Today, these small RNA molecules are mainly analyzed with qPCR and

Folding carton and internal printing: a technical approach to consumer differentiation and food safety

Packaging can be used to offer to consumers a complete brand experience. The emotional level enhanced during opening moment make consumers engage with the product and therefore, with the brand.
