An insight into the proteome status of today is presented, covering aspects of market values, new scientific literature sources, new technology initiatives and future developments. The authors give a personal view of the importance and the expected progress of microtechnology in proteome research. The background to some of the fundamental analytical technologies where for example, chromatography h
The most unfavourable orientation of a straight crack of given length is investigated, assuming mode I growth. It is shown that this orientation is not always the one perpendicular to the largest principal stress. If the smallest in-plane principal stress is compressive and its magnitude more than about one third of the largest (tensile) in-plane stress, then some other orientations are more unfav
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) packages its micrometers-long double-stranded DNA genome into a nanometer-scale protein shell, termed the capsid. Upon confinement within the capsid, neighboring DNA strands experience repulsive electrostatic and hydration forces as well as bending stress associated with the tight curvature required of packaged DNA. By osmotically suppressing DNA release from HS
A set of single pass full penetration friction stir bead-on-plate and butt welds in HSLA-65 steel were produced using a range of traverse speeds (50 to 500 mm/min) and two tool materials (W-Re and PCBN). Part I described the influence of process and tool parameters on the microstructure in the weld region. This article focuses on the influence of these parameters on residual stress, but the presen
This thesis examines the emerging issue of Webcam Child Prostitution (WCP) that has so far only been observed in the Philippines. Utilising a qualitative approach, the authors conducted a series of interviews with law enforcement and civil society, as well as survivors of the crime and two focus groups in a low-income neighbourhood in Manila. The data collected is analysed through a critical theor
There are plenty of books and articles on research methods, but few discuss the nature and purpose of method sections in academic journals. Based on interviews with critical and interpretivist researchers, this short paper examines the nature and purpose of method sections in management and organization studies. We show how researchers make sense of, and struggle with, positivist expectations abou
Risk and risk aversion are crucial concepts in finance. Models in finance typically assume a known probability distribution of returns, which does often not hold in reality. This papers aims to measure the uncertainty surrounding the probability distribution in equity markets and to evaluate if such uncertainty is priced. Our study defines uncertainty as the volatility of the option implied volati
With a background in quality systems and retail, Khan chose the Master’s in Service Management, specialising in Supply Chain Management, to explore the subject in depth. Studies in Helsingborg opened doors to roles at IKEA and projects focused on sustainability, data, and innovation.With a background in quality systems and retail, Khan chose the Master’s in Service Management, specialising in Supply Chain Management, to explore the subject in depth.

This case explores the interplay between commerce and colonial expansion through the lens of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the 17th century. Tasked with securing profit while navigating geopolitical rivalries, the VOC’s decision-makers faced dilemmas that blurred the lines between trade and conquest. This case places students in the role of the Heeren XVII, the governing board of the VOC,
We document a substantial glass ceiling in the Swedish labor market: women constitute less than 20% within the top 1% of the earnings distribution. Using a structural micro-founded model of a dual earner household with learning-on-the-job, we link this to the child penalty. While on parental leave, women accumulate less human capital on the job, get promoted to a lesser extent, and hence are less
