Under andra hälften av 1900-talet applicerades kunskapen av halvledare i form av bland annat transistorer, komponenter i radioapparater, och LED-lampor. Sedan dess har halvledare blivit desto mindre och desto kraftfullare. Persondatorn Apple II, som introducerades 1977 av Steve Wozniak och Steve Jobs, innehöll en processor med cirka 3000 transistorer. Idag rymmer de flesta speldatorer grafikkort sIII-V semiconductor compounds containing Bi, such as InBi, have recently attracted much attention due to predictions of band inversion and topological insulators. The predictions showed that films of InBi could be applicable in quantum computers and at room temperature. The common approach of realizing such a structure, by growing InAsBi films, has not been successful, as the Bi content has been f

Samhällsplanerare måste ta hänsyn till ett flertal aspekter och många mål- och styrdokument i sitt arbete med att utveckla och planera kommunen. En viktig aspekt är jämställdhetsaspekten som åter blivit aktuell. Det är dock inte helt klart hur planerare ska tänka för att främja jämställdhet i samhällsplaneringen. I form av en fallstudie där fyra samtalsintervjuer gjordes syftar denna uppsats till

China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world.

Frågeställning: Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka om interventioner baserade på ACT respektive buddhistisk meditation har en inverkan på psykologisk inflexibilitet, empati, medkänsla till andra, självmedkänsla samt modern rasism. Till detta hörde en explorativ frågeställning gällande eventuella skillnader i de båda metodernas inverkan på utfallsmåtten. Arbetet avsåg även undersöka hur utfa

The purpose of this project was to investigate the use of microfluidics for X-ray spectroscopy at MAX IV Laboratory. A Silicon and Glass chip was produced, and its suitability for carrying samples in solution was tested. Once the chip was prepared, and successfully integrated onto Balder beamline, X-ray analysis was carried out on a sample of FeCl3 (aq) flowing through the chip. This was contraste

Framtiden för verktyg på bibliotek Ett sätt att minska vår belastning på miljön är att dela saker med varandra. Att kunna låna verktyg och andra prylar på biblioteken - är det ett bra sätt att få fler att dela? Många säger sig vilja dela saker med andra men det är inte lika många som faktiskt gör det. Många av de initiativ för delande som finns idag bygger på delande mellan främlingar, men de flThe sharing of goods and services has a lot of potential in tackling the environmental consequences of consumption. Studies indicate that public lending has advantages over private individuals lending each other necessities. It is therefore important to investigate how public lending can be organised most efficiently. Some Swedish libraries provide tools and other things that are not typically ass

This thesis surveyed existing technologies and research on pedestrian detection systems using video as input. The purpose of the study was to investigate what such a software would need to produce to be relevant for the fire safety engineer in outdoor circulation- or egress applications. The thesis tested a newly developed detection software called Flowity. The software, developed by ÅF Digital So

Humant papillomvirus kanske du någon gång hört talas om. HPV, förkortningen som man vanligtvis benämner viruset med, är mest känt för sin olyckliga förmåga att orsaka hud- och könsvårtor på den mänskliga kroppen. För ungefär ett decennium sedan bevisades det att viruset även är en orsak till utvecklingen av en viss typ av cancer. Denna cancer, som utvecklas i vissa delar av huvudet och halsen, harHead and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) are a heterogenous group of cancers formed in squamous epithelial cells. In a few HNSCC, the cancer is developed because of long-term viral infection. Carcinomas of the Oropharynx (OPSCC) have a high rate of infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), where tonsils (TSCC) have the highest. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate differential expression b

Medborgardialog i samhällsplaneringen förekommer allt oftare i Sverige och har både lovordats och kritiserats. Trots den utbredda användningen verkar det råda otydlighet kring vad som egentligen är syftet med medborgardialogen. Föreliggande uppsats syftar därför till att öka förståelsen för medborgardialogens tilltänkta syfte i samhällsplaneringen. Genom kvalitativ idéanalys med hjälp deltagande-

Bör Sverige förbjuda rasistiska föreningar? Det är en fråga som många ställer sig i dagsläget. De senaste åren har problem med ökad rasism uppmärksammats i Sverige.

The concept of being a “madman” while in office is not a new one, even Machiavelli said that: ”…at times it is a very wise thing to simulate madness.” This is all part of tactics and of different theoretical approaches to leadership. The American political structure allows for its leader to m

Every year politicians resign because of political scandals.
