Floating Points of Reference. Trust, Enchantment and The Shifting Visibilities of Digital Infrastructures

In 2012 Google started a campaign to make parts of its infrastructure visible. Up until that year the company’s data centers had been highly secret facilities hidden from the public eye. The visualization campaign was mainly based on stories and images distributed via the Internet. The images were often suggestive, invoking both enchantment and trust. The text starts by pointing out and discussin

Laser-Induced Fluorescence for Assessment of Cultural Heritage

Remote imaging measurements of laser-induced fluorescence have been performed, with application towards cultural heritage. Measurement campaigns have been performed at, e.g., the Coliseum in Rome. Differences in fluorescence spectra from different points were found and images corresponding to different features could be produced for thematic mapping.

Regularization of the limiting optimal controller in robust stabilization

In this paper, we consider the problem of robust optimization for a system with uncertainty of rank one. The main result is the regularization of the limiting optimal controller. We will give the method to obtain the low order suboptimal controller that provides the stability margin as close to the optimal one as we wish. The method is illustrated by some scalar examples.

The condition that lost its name but gained a treatment: : experiences of depression and antidepressant use in a neoliberal context

This paper analyses experiences of depression and antidepressant use within a neoliberal society. The paper is based on interviews with mainly women using antidepressants in Sweden and makes use of the post-political as conceptualized by Chantal Mouffe as a framework. I find that depression is reduced to a state, a diagnosis. In comparing with Nancy Friedan who gave the depression and despair Amer

Lifetime measurements of Metastable States in Fe+

The lifetime of two metastable levels in Fe+ has been measured by laser probing of a stored ion beam. In the dense spectrum of Fe+, the metastable levels a 6S5/2 and b 4D7/2 were selected and their lifetimes were determined to be 230+/-30 and 530+/-30 ms, respectively. The lifetimes are compared with previous theoretical results. Metastable lifetime measurements of Fe+ are of great importance for

On the Application of Elastic Scattering Analysis as a Complement to PIXE for the Determination of Light Elements in Thin Aerosol Samples

The potential of elemental analysis of light elements by measuring elastically scattered particles as a complement to PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission analysis), when using a 3 MV electrostatic tandem accelerator is discussed. The discussion is based on protons and He ions with energies suitable for PIXE. Some experimental results of scattering yields are included.

Transferring technology to developing countries

In 2003/2004 the Masters of European Affairs Programme looked at IPRs and the relationship between developed and developing countries as it pertained to technology transfer, and specifically the TRIPS Agreement. They addressed three crucial issues: Can the rules on international exhaustion of IPR provide the means to transfer essential medicines to developing countries? Having determined that exha

Urkund - Utbildande eller endast avskräckande?

Detta arbete genomför en empirisk studie för att mäta en eventuell lärande effekt hos studenterna från användandet av textigenkänningsverktyget Urkund. Datamaterialet utgör ett obundet slumpmässigt urval på 100st uppsatser från de totalt 390 magister uppsatser som skrivits vid nationalekonomiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet från 2005‐2010. Resultaten visar att plagieringsindexet, som skapas
