This chapter aims at discussing the main challenges of designing and implementing science, technology and innovation (STI) policies in developing countries. In particular, it addresses the problems of: a) aligning STI policies with the national economic development agenda, as well as coordinating STI policies among different ministries and other public organizations, and among diverse government l

Evaluation of anti-proliferative effect of BSA-1 and 32/26/2B in Y79 retinoblastoma cancer cells.

This thesis investigates the dissension and dividing force present with regard to dealing with the communist experience in Sweden andDenmark. It studies the manifestations and causes of this dissension and compares the ways it has been dealt with in historical culture. 38in-depth interviews with history teachers and historical scholars, belonging to two generations, have been conducted. They have

In this presentation we will discuss our recent progress on the integration of InAs/Si p-tunnel FETs (TFETs) and InAs/GaSb n-TFETs on SOI wafers. Local III-V growth is enabled by the development of Template-Assisted Selective Epitaxy (TASE) [1-4]. Both polarity devices have scaled geometries with cross-sections on the order of 30nm. The p-channel InAs/Si TFETs are developed based on our previously

Most of the last 20 years in Sweden have been mild and wet compared to the 1961-1990 climate reference period. After a few relatively cold years in the mid-1980s, practically all years have been warmer than the preceding 30 years average. During the indicated period, an increase of moisture-related problems (mould growth) was observed in ventilated attics, a moisture sensitive building part.This w

The invention relates to a method of 13C-MR detection using an imaging medium comprising hyperpolarised 13C-fumarate and imaging media comprising hyperpolarised 13C-fumarate for use in said method.

Creativity is a principal force of cognitive and communicational genesis that causes alteration of established rules and concepts (Heine/Kuteva 2007) and transgression of cultural borders (Lotman 1990). Artistic activity is normally taken for granted as creative, despite the fact that much artistic intention, is not necessarily aspiring to make any radical change of the circumstances in which it i

Despite being the main thriving force behind economic growth and industrial development, technological innovation remains highly concentrated on a handful of countries. It is therefore of a great interest to know how countries accumulate and develop their innovative capabilities, what kind of obstacles they need to overcome, and whether it is possible to identify opportunities to develop new areas

Under changing climate conditions, acceptable functionality of buildings and their adaptation to climate are required. More rain and extreme conditions in future make buildings and the built environment more vulnerable. There are currently several scenarios regarding possible future climatic conditions. Results from the impact analysis of climate change can be significantly affected by the selecte
