Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to provide timing sensitive services. One such is virtual networking services, so called services chains, which consist of several interconnected virtual network functi

A well-functioning ventilation system is significant in achieving a healthy indoor environment. The air supply rate is one of the important factors in reducing the pollutant levels indoors. A study of the indoor environment has been made in new built apartments with modern energy-efficient mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation systems. Several parameters have been measured including the air su

The stability of the Nyström method for the Sherman–Lauricella equation on piecewise smooth closed simple contour $\Gamma$ is studied. It is shown that in the space $L_2$ the method is stable if and only if certain operators associated with the corner points of $\Gamma$ are invertible. If $\Gamma$ does not have corner points, the method is always stable. Numerical experiments show the transformati

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a green alternative method of extraction for neutral lipids in seeds compared to conventional methods utilizing organic solvents. In this work, a novel method where SFE is hyphenated with an evaporative light scattering detector is presented. The method was subsequently applied to determine lipid content in crushed linseed. The new method enables rapid quant

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to study the oxidation of syringic acid by laccases from two different sources: Galerina sp. HC1 and Trametes versicolor. Total molar heat of reaction with both enzymes was similar (230kJ/mol for Galerina laccase and 233kJ/mol for Trametes laccase), and was independent of syringic acid concentration. The kinetic parameters of the reaction were calcul

Understanding how human activities influence wildlife behavior and habitat use is crucial for the conservation of large carnivores, such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos), in human-dominated landscapes. This thesis investigates the effects of dog-assisted wild boar hunts on the strictly protected Pyrenean brown bear population in Catalonia (hereafter named as “non-targeted hunting”). I examined the

BackgroundSome patients scheduled for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) only undergo explorative laparotomy (open/close procedure) due to extensive tumor spread or challenges in achieving complete cytoreduction (CC0). This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and overall survival in patients with peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) who only

• Peritonitis carcinomatosa occurs in 10% of patients with colorectal carcinoma. • Compared with patients with lung and liver metastases, survival in patients with peritonitis carcinomatosa is worse if treated with systemic chemotherapy. However, treatment with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) offers longer survival than systemic chemotherapy. • A Dutch r

EU har länge arbetat för att skapa ett starkt konsumentskydd på grund av den ojämlikheten som förmodas föreligga mellan konsument och näringsidkare. Denna ojämlikhet är framstående i rättsprocesser, där EU identifierat att kon-sumenten möter flera särskilda hinder. EU har som utgångspunkt inte någon befogenhet att lagstifta om processuella regler. Medlemsländerna har nationell processuell autonomiThe EU has long worked to establish robust consumer protection to address the perceived imbalance between consumers and businesses. This inequality is particularly apparent in legal proceedings, where the EU has identified signifi-cant obstacles faced by consumers. However, the EU lacks the authority to legislate procedural rules, leaving procedural autonomy to its member states. The procedural sy

Denna uppsats undersöker syftena till att svenska kommuner arbetar med medborgardialog. Uppsatsen gör aktuella iakttagelser som visar att kommuner av en mängd olika skäl försöker få medborgare att delta i lokalpolitiska frågor genom att inkorperera medborgardialog i sin verksamhet. Vidare knyter uppsatsen an till tidigare forskning vilken visar att det går att identifiera flera normativa idealtype

Denna studie har undersökt eventuella samband mellan isocialiseringstaktiker under introduktionsprocessen för nyanställda och deras upplevda self-efficacy och organisatoriska engagemang. Det är en uppföljning av tidigare forskning gjord av Gareth Jones som använder en modifierad version av den enkät han utvecklade. Urvalet består av enskilda butiker från ett marknadsledande företag inom dagligvaruThis study examines correlations between socialization tactics for onboarding new employees and their experienced self-efficacy and organizational commitment. The study was proposed and inspired by Gareth Jones who studied socialization tactics and developed a survey for the theorized definition of the different tactics, which is used in a modified version. The sample is drawn from separate stores

Denna kandidatuppsats kommer att redogöra för den varumärkesrättsliga förväxlingsbedömningen. Konflikter gällande förväxling kan uppstå både vid intrångsmål och vid registreringsförfarande. Bedömningen är snårig och komplicerad och många olika faktorer ska tas i beaktande. Det handlar om en helhetsbedömning där det sammantagna resultatet avgör om det finns en risk för att ett yngre varumärke kan fThis thesis statement deals with the likelihood of confusion test used within the area of trade mark law. Conflicts regarding the confusion between trade marks are handled by court in infringement cases and looked upon by the competent offices during registration. The test is complex and many different factors must be taken into account. The test involves an overall evaluation to investigate if a

På höghastighetslinjerna som planeras byggas i Sverige är det satt som mål att köra i 320 km/h. Att köra så pass mycket snabbare än det görs i dagsläget kräver ett kontaktledningssystem vars kontakttråd klarar av att vara stabilt och rakt uppspänt så att strömavtagaren kan gå jämt och inte orsaka att kontakttråden börjar svaja. Det resulterar i krav på att kontakttråden spänns upp med ett högre mo

Vi bor i galaxen Vintergatan. En plats som vi kan kalla hemma i ett allt växande universum. Men hur mycket vet vi egentligen om våran galax? Det finns mycket som återstår att upptäcka om våran galax. Ett exempel på någonting som vi inte vet hittas när vi observerar den galaktiska disken. Detta är regionen som expanderar horisontellt från det galaktiska centrumet. Disken är uppdelad i en tunn ochThis paper discusses the effects of different types of contamination on 4MOST stellar spectra. Three main types of contamination were tested. These were, a smooth function over the continuum, changing the H-alpha line, and adding telluric contamination. By knowing how much these experiments affected the generated values, it was possible to understand the importance of avoiding overfitting or under

Purpose: The study aims to develop Amit & Zott (2014) framework that links the two perspectives the business model and dynamic capability approach. Scientific Method: A quantitative case study based on pattern matching. The study was made built through a cross-sectional design and has a deductive approach. Primary data was collected through semi-structures interviews. Secondary data was colle
