The properties of K(pi) = 1+ states in deformed even-even rare-earth nuclei have been investigated within the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA). The B(M1) spectrum and the differential cross section for electron scattering have been calculated and are seen to be consistent with the interpretation that the experimental 1+ states first considered to be a scissors mode, actually corresp
This thesis consists of four studies that deal with how individual outcomes are shaped by social interactions. The scope of the thesis ranges from relationships between individuals in what is arguably the most fundamental building block in society today — the family — to more generalized relationships between different groups in society. The first study examines whether twins’ inferior health at
In this paper, we introduce computationally efficient imple- mentations of the data-dependent non-parametric damped Capon (dCapon) and APES (dAPES) spectral estimators. These estimators form two-dimensional frequency represen- tations over both frequency and damping, and have been shown to enable an efficient separation of closely spaced spectral lines with different line widths. The proposed impl
Stark effect investigations in the 6, 7 and 8 2 D 3/2,5/2 levels of 85 Rb and the 8, 9 and 10 2 D 3/2,5/2 levels of 133 Cs were performed with the level crossing technique. The levels were populated in a two-step excitation process, involving a CW tunable dye laser. The tensor polarizability of all states was measured and a good agreement with theoretical values, obtained with the Coulomb approxim
Human safety and health, environmental and property protection and security concerning hazardous materials supply chain are important issues for many countries, industries and organisations around the world. This paper presents some key results of a comprehensive risk study on hazardous materials supply chain incidents. Based on a risk analysis framework adapted for mari-time transport of packaged
The incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) has increased successively over the past decade. Mortality and morbidity is high. It is the most common cause of hospitalisation in the elderly and has been estimated to account for 1-3% of health care costs in many countries. There is a need therefore, to improve care for HF patients. However, due to limited economic resources, this must be done
