The world of environmental microscopy provides the possibility to study and analyze transformations and reactions during realistic conditions to understand the processes better. We report on the design and development of a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system integrated with an environmental transmission electron microscope intended for real-time investigations of crystal growth.
Milk with different κ-casein (CN) phenotypes has previously been found to influence its gastric digestion rate. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to disentangle contributions of genetic variation and its related sialylation on the in vitro digestion process of κ-CN. Accordingly, κ-CN was purified from milk representing homozygous cows with κ-CN phenotypes AA, BB, or EE and used as substra
Context: Outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are reported inconsistently, with variability in definitions and measurement. Hence, it is difficult to compare intervention effectiveness and synthesise outcomes for systematic reviews and to create clinical practice guidelines. This uncertainty in the evidence makes it difficult to guide patient-clinician decision-making. One solution is a core out
We show that for each d∈ (0 , 2] there exists a meromorphic function f such that the inverse function of f has three singularities and the Julia set of f has Hausdorff dimension d.
The specific viscoelastic mechanical properties of Achilles tendons are highly dependent on the structural characteristics of collagen at and between all hierarchical levels. Research has been conducted on the deformation mechanisms of positional tendons and single fibrils, but knowledge about the coupling between the whole tendon and nanoscale deformation mechanisms of more commonly injured energ
Older adults have been markedly impacted by the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, and many reports have cited concerns regarding potential psychiatric sequelae of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but the actual effects of psychotropics on the COVID-19 are unclear. In this study, multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between the prescription of psychotropics an
In this work, we simulate the capacitance of a simple charged fluid model consisting of equal-sized, spherical monovalent ions, immersed in an implicit solvent. Apart from Coulomb forces, the particles interact via a truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones potential. This is a possible crude model for hydrophobic ions (assuming an implicit aqueous solvent) and allows for a possible demixing transition
The thesis explores the interaction between finance and the state, how the conditions of that interaction has changed and how that may affect the international financial system. It combines an evolutionary approach to geopolitical theorizing and complexity theory to suggest a basic model for the system-level analysis of the interaction between states in the contemporary international financial sys
This paper studies the bitcoin lending market and the factors explaining loans defaults. No financial intermediation implies that investors are faced directly with the credit risk. This increases information asymmetry at the cost of the lenders, so bitcoin lending platforms try to reduce this negative effect by providing information about the borrowers and their loan requests. Credit grade and int
Avloppsvatten är rikt på organiskt material, det organiska materialet har med fördel använts för biogasproduktion. Den traditionella kvävereningsprocessen kräver organiskt material, därför har ett extern organiskt material använts. Flera studier har fokuserat på att finna en alternativ process för kväverening av avloppsvatten, där inget organiskt material behövs. En alternativ process som har stud
Purpose - To investigate if the forensic accounting education offered by universities provides the knowledge and skills that are required by the forensic accounting profession. Methodology - First, a qualitative content analysis of curriculums, with a mix between a deductive and inductive approach, is conducted. Second, an inductive quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is administe
Purpose: The aim of this dissertation is to explore mobility in a proximity tourism context. Mobilities are being widely discussed in connection to society, everyday life, and tourism as a whole. Thus, it focuses on the staycation phenomenon as a case of proximity tourism. In particular on its representations in the digital media and as a local travel practice in Sweden. Considering that tourism i
Singapore has remarkably transformed from a small and poor Southeast Asian island into an affluent global city-state today. However, in contemporary times, the distribution of the gains from the nation’s progress and prosperity has been increasingly unequal. An understanding of the extent of income inequality is imperative to reassess the current policies and resource allocation decisions. The aim
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
Water is not a popular solvent for SFC because it usually causes peak distortion. In a previous study in the lab it was shown that a water/organic solvent ratio of 9:1 in sample diluent actually produced sharper peak shape compared with the ratio of 1:9. The aim of the current study is thus to do a systematic study of the effect of water in the sample diluent on the retention behaviors of the anal
Wing walls on slab frame integral bridges has traditionally been designed for mainly earth pressure and its self-weight. It has also been designed separately from the rest of the bridge. Traditionally no 3D effects have been considered in the design of the wing walls. The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) have recently introduced regulations stating that 3D effects must be considered
This paper studies the relationship between financial development and economic growth. Specifically, the model tests if financial development has a positive effect on capital accumulation and total factor productivity. The study is based on data from 114 countries between 1960 and 2010. The data include a broad variety of countries, ranging from low-income to high-income countries. Following from
The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote
