The importance of design in order to accentuate a market position becomes increasingly important in the commercial vehicle sector. As a result, the company leading the pack in terms of design and styling is facing immense imitation from western competitors as well as commercial vehicle manufacturers from emerging markets. In response, the company has adopted a strategy of using design protection o
Denna studie har för avsikt att visualisera och förklara variationer och mönster i välmående i distriktet Hambantota i södra Sri Lanka. Detta görs genom att använda en stor intervjudatabas från distriktet med frågor och svar om subjektivt välmående och andra utvecklingsfaktorer och sammankoppla denna med en tillgänglighetsmodell. Denna modell är utvecklad i ett Geografiskt Informationssystem (GIS)This study tries to visualise and explain variations and patterns in well-being throughout the Hambantota District in southern Sri Lanka. This is accomplished by using a large interview database with questions and answers on developing factors and subjective well-being and linking this to a model of accessibility. The accessibility model was developed in a Geographical Information System (GIS) as
Video on Demand (VoD) is a service that delivers video seamlessly to the consumer on demand. This thesis examines the consumers’ opinion on the different VoD services that exists on the Swedish market. To conduct our research we collected quantitative data by using a survey and then conducted a qualitative analysis. As a theoretical framework we used our own modified version of The DeLone and
Tissue patterning during development is thought to be driven largely by gene regulatory responses to spatial gradients of molecular signals, known as morphogens. In this thesis, early patterning of the human neural tube is studied using two different gene regulatory network models. The models portray patterning in the rostral-caudal direction as a response to gradients of WNT and FGF signalling. T
This paper investigates linear precoding over nonsingular linear channels with additive white Gaussian noise, with lattice-type inputs. The aim is to maximize the minimum distance of the received lattice points, where the precoder is subject to an energy constraint. It is shown that the optimal precoder only produces a finite number of different lattices, namely perfect lattices, at the receiver.
Galiellalactone (GL) is a fungal metabolite that presents antitumor activities on prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo. In this study we show that GL induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, caspase-dependent apoptosis and also affected the microtubule organization and migration ability in DU145 cells. GL did not induce double strand DNA break but activated the ATR and ATM-mediated DNA damage resp
Projektet har demonstrerat hur man kan tillverka mätutrustning för att mäta fönster- och dörröppningar och ett antal förslag presenteras för att göra mätningarna säkrare. Dessutom har projektet mätt öppningsvinklar i 15 bostäder under ett år varje minut, med kvantitativa resultat. Mätningar har gjorts för att koppla luftflöden till öppningar med små vinklar. Det har gjorts systematiska, förenklade
Species evolutionary relationships have traditionally been defined by sequence similarities of phylogenetic marker molecules, recently followed by whole-genome phylogenies based on gene order, average ortholog similarity or gene content. Here, we introduce genome conservation—a novel metric of evolutionary distances between species that simultaneously takes into account, both gene content and sequ
Cupric and cuprous complexes of bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2-methylthiophene) amine (L-1), bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)benzylamine (L-2), bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2,4-dimethylphenylthioethyl)-amine (L-3), bis(1-methyl-2-methylbenzimidazolyl)benzylamine (Me2L2), and bis(1-methyl-2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2,4-dimethylphenylthioethyl)amine (Me2L3) have been spectroscopically, structurally, and elect
Avian malaria is a common and widespread disease of birds caused by a diverse group of pathogens of the genera Plasmodium. We investigated the transcriptomal profiles of one of the most common species, Plasmodium relictum, lineage SGS1, at multiple timepoints during the blood stages of the infection under experimental settings. The parasite showed well separated overall transcriptome profiles betw
Atmospheric aerosols contain organic molecules that serve as cloud condensation nucleation sites and affect the climate. Several experimental and simulation studies have been dedicated to investigate their surface propensity, but the mechanisms that drive them to the water surface are still not fully understood. In this molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study, primary alcohols are considered as a
An efficient synthetic route to the mono-endo-6- and bis-endo,endo-6,12-N,N-diethylcarbamoyl derivatives of Tröger’s base (TB), endo-7 and endo-8, is reported. Studies of reaction time, proton source, and additive allowed establishment of optimized conditions for the conversion of exo-7 into the corresponding isomer endo-7. With a longer reaction time, the exo,exo-6,12 bis-carbamoyl derivative exo
Hamming code-based LDPC (H-LDPC) block codes are obtained by replacing single parity-check codes in Gallager's LDPC codes with Hamming constituent codes. This paper investigates the asymptotic error-correcting capabilities of ensembles of random H-LDPC codes, used over the binary symmetric channel and decoded with a low-complexity hard-decision iterative decoding algorithm. The number of required
INTRODUCTION: A standardised method for quantifying β-amyloid PET tracers would allow comparison across different tracers and different sites. The development of the Centiloid scale has aimed to achieve this, applying a common scale to better aid the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to monitor anti-amyloid therapeutic interventions. Here, we apply the Centiloid method to [18
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is widely used to probe properties such as molecular stoichiometry, microscopic distributions relative to the surface by so-called depth-profiling, and molecular orientation. Such studies usually rely on the core-level photoionization cross sections being independent of molecular composition. The validity of this assumption has recently been questioned, as a
Air pockets in pressurized pipelines may reduce hydraulic capacity, increase head losses, and affect system operation. In downward sloping pipe sections, a key question is whether the water flow can transport a trapped air pocket downstream or whether the air is likely to remain stationary, which would require an air valve to evacuate the air. This thesis compares selected criteria and guidance so
This thesis defines the finite projective plane and the affine projective plane. A method of construction is defined for the field planes by extension of the affine plane constructed from the vector space over a finite field. The thesis explores for which orders planes can and cannot be constructed, in particular, for the prime powers there exist planes. For n=6 a computer search is conducted usin
This thesis identifies and evaluates business model alternatives for Oceanbird’s Wing 560 rigid sail, a wind-assisted ship propulsion technology approaching broader commercialisation. The shipping industry’s complex ownership structures create split-incentive problems that complicate investment in fuel-saving technologies, making the choice of business model a strategic decision. Furthermore, the
Shopping malls are becoming more prevalent throughout the world. They have been identified as having high energy use, which is less explored than other building types. There are 357 shopping centers in Sweden, which has doubled in the last five years. Regardless of national differences in shopping mall tenants' demands, shopping malls always tend to have high lighting loads, high population de
