Inom fältet kvantinformation behandlar man information med hjälp av så kallade kvantmekaniska system, vilket tillför både möjligheter och svårigheter i reella tillämpningar. Ett fundamentalt begrepp är den så kallade kvantbiten, eller qubit som den brukar omnämnas i engelsk litteratur, vilken är den grundläggande komponenten i vilken kvantinformation hanteras, som en direkt analog till biten i en One of the important building blocks in the quantum information field, is the so called quantum memory. Processing is usually performed on quantum information in the form of qubits, which is an analogy to the classical bits in a normal computer. A big concern however is the fact that quantum information which is represented by some quantum state of one or several particles, is easily destroyed by

Comparative study of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby and the film adaptations from 1974 and 2013 with focus on historical and social development.

Traditional risk assessment frameworks have been focused primarily on the factors of likelihood and impact, utilizing either a numerical (e.g. 1 to 5) or qualitative (e.g.low,medium, high) rating scale, resulting in the traditional two dimensional framework. The challenge of this model is that the focus is too narrow to eectively assess constantly changing risk environments and fails to dierentiat

The advantages with infrared heating and the fact that the technology has become significantly more inexpensive opens up a bigger interest to develop products using infrared heaters further. What will the future kitchen look like? How can infrared technology develop and create more conventional and intellectual products processing our food? By pushing the limits of the technology today the main

Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor

Olika erfarenheter av musikskapande tillsammans med läroplanens kunskapskrav har bidragit till intresset för denna studie, som undersöker det digitala musikskapandets betydelse i musikundervisningen.

The project was divided into three major parts where each part was divided into even smaller parts. The first part concentrated on

Ambulanssjukvården är under utveckling och bedrivs på olika sätt i olika regioner. Gemensamt är prehospitala patientmöten. Mötena påverkas av lagar och föreskrifter, ekonomi, vårdarnas utbildningsnivå, avstånd till sjukhus och patientens behov. Studiens syfte var att jämföra den patientupplevda kvaliteten i ambulanssjukvården i två regioner. En kvantitativ empirisk studie utfördes med en omvårdna

Tidigare undersökningar har visat att inflödet av metaller till Lillsjön är högre än utflödet. Detta ledde till att följande studie fokuserades på metallinnehållet i Lillsjöns bottensediment för att utvärdera om den urbana omgivningen påverkar Lillsjön i negativ bemärkelse. Lillsjön är en populär badsjö belägen i ett rekreationsområde nära centrala Östersund. I avrinningsområdet finns mestadels skMetal contamination of lakes can bring negative effects to aquatic biota, and to the general health of the ecosystem. Urban discharge is a known source of common metals. In cold regions, snow disposal sites further enhances the risk of contaminating recipient lakes, due to accumulation of pollutants. The importance of this source is poorly known and is further investigated in this study. Metal con

This paper is about the role that alcohol consumption plays in the (re)definition of Turkishness at a time where the secular foundations of the country are being challenged by the religious-conservative Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP).
