We report on an international collaboration, the FERRUM Project, whichaims at extending the database of experimental oscillator strengths foriron group elements and possibly evaluating theoretical andastrophysical data. The selection of individual projects is made withrespect to their relevance for abundance work and plasma diagnostics inastrophysics. In this paper we present recent measurements o

The idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the belief in the kinship of the arts were passed on from late romanticism to many of the modernist movements in the first decades of the twentieth century. Thus artists and film-makers wished to accomplish a fusion that transferred the achievements of non-figurative art to the new film medium, swayed by the constraints of realist story-telling. But abstract fil

There is compelling evidence to suggest that estrogen administration to women of climacteric age reduces subsequent myocardial infarction by some 50%. Accumulating data also suggests estrogens confer substantial protection from stroke. Given this rationale, it is prudent to suggest to regulatory bodies that estrogen treatment would have this indication. Estrogens have other well-defined, and less

Electron emission, in resonance with soft X-ray absorption, appears to provide a measure of the dispersion of the highest occupied and the lowest, core-hole distorted, unoccupied pi-bands in poly(p-phenylenevinylene).

1. The input characteristics and distribution of climbing fibre field potentials evoked by electrical stimulation of various parts of the skin were investigated in the cerebellum of barbiturate anaesthetized rats. 2. Climbing fibre responses were recorded in sagittally oriented microelectrode tracks across the mediolateral width of the anterior lobe. Climbing fibres with similar response latencies

A self-similar, continuous process with stationary increments is considered as an approximation to the surplus process in collective risk theory. This approximation can be seen as the weak limit of risk processes with linear premium income, where the claim sizes show a long-range dependence. It is then proved that the corresponding ruin times converge weakly to the ruin time of the approximation p

In this article I study the thought of French mathematician and philosopher Charles de Bovelles (1479-1553) on wisdom and man's place in creation.

The article analyses various uses of history in contemporary Europe, starting from a Swedish perspective

This paper examines tongue movements between the two vowels in sequences of vowel-labial consonant-vowel, addressing the question whether the movement is a straight line or a curved path. Native speakers of Japanese and Italian served as subjects. The linguistic material consisted of words where the bilabial consonant was either long or short. The inclusion of words with different consonant length

A DCIP survey with different timing settings, electrode arrays, cable spreads and waveforms (50\% and 100\% duty cycle waveform) were carried out over the Liikavaara deposit in northern Sweden. All the measured data were inverted using AarhusInv. Measured data with 100\% duty cycle waveform, which is much faster than the conventional 50\% duty cycle waveform, present significant improvements in th

International labour migration is claimed to be the dominant type of international movement of people in the modern world which is characterized by the process of globalization. Tajikistan is one of the countries for which external labour emigration is of crucial importance. Hence, this qualitative study focuses on identifying how labour migration from this country is shaped. It highlights the fac

The present study investigates whether the mean and the standard deviation of real GDP growth forecasts from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) can help to explain the cross-sectional variation of expected returns in the German stock market. The expected real GDP growth from the SPF can be interpreted as a proxy for expected business conditions, whereas the cross-sectional dispersion
