Iron is an important material in the study of societies of the Iron Age and later periods. Not only does it give its name to the period it was also an integrated part in every humans’ life from the Iron Age and forward.

In the Machine Learning field, more and more of the data collection is commercialised, even with monetary rewards to people and organisations for providing input data for models. Even if data collection is not associated with direct costs for the researcher, there are many cases where there are indirect, or circumstancial, costs associated with it. An established concept in game theory is "S
Food insecurity in Zimbabwe is severe and increasing. The staple food is made from maize, which is highly sensitive to drought. The traditional small grains; finger millet, pearl millet and sorghum are drought resistant, nutritious and require little inputs compared to maize. Despite this, few farmers grow small grains even though they have been praised as a panacea. This thesis aims to narrow the

The technique mainly used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry industries is single-column batch chromatography (BC). The major drawback of BC is the trade-off between product purity and process performance. A high purity of the product co

Where the assured fails to fulfil the warranty, the insurer will b
Vid strålbehandling används olika typer av strålning beroende på vad man ska behandla. Mätningarna i min undersökning gjordes på joniserande strålning med låg energi jämfört med den typ man vanligtvis förknippar med strålbehandling. Den sortens strålning som jag mätte på används främst vid behandling av åkommor som är relativt ytliga, till exempel hudcancer eller psoriasis. Läkarna ordinerar hur sAbsorbed dose was determined under reference conditions at four x-ray qualities; 30, 80, 120 and 200 kV using five different dosimetry protocols and codes of practice; IAEA TRS-398, AAPM, IPEMB, NCS and DIN. The dose determined by the IAEA protocol was chosen as reference. The dosimetry protocols use different formalisms for determining the absolute dose in a reference point. The IAEA and DIN prot
