Data from p–Pb collisions reconstructed with the ALICE experiment at √s = 5.02 TeV is analyzed to study J/Ψ production (a possible Quark Gluon Plasma signal) in different pT ranges. Results obtained by studying the invariant mass distribution via the dielectron decay channel show a significant J/Ψ yield from approximately pT > 2 GeV/c with statistics up to about 10 GeV/c. The signal is observed via
Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live.

This study analyses the situation of information and communication technologies in Turkey with making a comparison by applying social capability and catch up theory between Turkey and EU-27 countries ICT production, export, diffusion, and usage among individuals and households, between 2007 and 2013. However, development of ICT industry has started after the industrialization; production and techn
The architectural and engineering trend leads towards greater use of glass in buildings. Growing safety awareness often requires laminated glass. Laminated glass is formed as a sandwich of two or more sheets of glass and a plastic interlayer. Laminated glass can for example be used in stairs, floors, roofs, facades and balcony railings. This thesis deals with the most common interlayer polyvinyl

Purpose: During the last years Real Options have been established in many areas of the day-to-day business. Recent literature also tries to address Supply Chain problems with option theory, since an efficient Supply Chain increasingly gains in importance as a significant competitive advantage. This thesis tries to answer the question, if Real Options can mitigate the costs induced by the Bullwhip
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the expectations of roles between supplier sales representatives and retailer store personnel in relation to in-store campaigns, this in order to enhance effectiveness of these functions creating an increase in consumer response. Methodology: The researchers believe that social phenomenon and their meanings are continually being a
This masters' thesis, "The New Economy of Vision : New Urban Spaces in post-1992 Shanghai", authored by Johan Vaide, draws on the economic reforms initiated in the late 1970s to show how Shanghai has experienced a rapid and well-calculated change of its cultural landscape. Due to the launch of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" in 1978 and the construction of an entir
