There will be multiple compensations employed for in- sertion devices in the MAX IV storage rings. Apart from well-known dipole corrections and previously detailed local and global linear optics matching, certain insertion devices in the MAX IV storage rings will also require nonlinear optics adjustments and/or skew quadrupole corrections. The goal of such corrections is ensuring sufficient dynami

We report the results of two newspaper reading experiments. We examine how readersÕ eye movements are affected by graphical elements such as photos and information graphics. Control variables in these experiments include size and content of photos, and spatial structure of information graphics. We hypothesized that large photo size and animate photo content would be associated with a local increas

I argue in this chapter that it is essential for the social sciences to provide explanations and possibly also critical reflections as to how, why and to what end rankings and assessments are imbued with social (and other) values in different contexts. For too long we have delib- erately avoided scrutinizing the very mechanisms that have been framing and often also constraining our ways of ‘doing

The rise of the FZL (feizhuliu) subculture was one of the most eye-catching cultural phenomena in the Chinese cyberspace between 2007 and 2008. It has been considered as vulgar, destructive and problematic by the masses. The purpose of this research was to offer a fresh perspective and insightful view into the FZL subculture. It also was aimed to contribute to the studies of the intersection of su

To the Maritime lawyer, international ship arrest provides both an interesting and challenging topic. This field of law is so dynamic because a particular vessel trades worldwide and spends much of its time in international waters. The importance of this area of law could be seen from the attention it has received from the international shipping community, this is also evident from the enormous ef

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Åldersbestämning av bergarter med hjälp av uran- och blyisotoper (U-Pb-geokronologi) är en av de mest pålitliga dateringstekniker som står till förfogande för dagens geokronologer. Detta gäller om materialet är äldre än 50 000 år och inte innehåller någon organisk beståndsdel eftersom C14-metoden inte fungerar under dessa omständigheter. Två olika mineral är av Baddeleyite (ZrO2) is an important mineral for U-Pb geochronology in silica undersaturated rocks. Under silica saturated conditions, baddeleyite reacts to form zircon. Yet, I document baddeleyite domains within zircon in several silica-saturated rock types. The primary aim of this project is to describe the phenomenon in detail. To reach this aim polarisation microscopy and SEM-EDS analyses have b

Testosterone is the main androgen affecting sexual differentiation in-utero. According to the twin testosterone transfer hypothesis, a female fetus sharing uterus with a male is exposed to higher testosterone levels. Likewise, a male fetus sharing uterus with another male is exposed to higher levels. In this short thesis, wages of twins in opposite-sexed pairs are compared to wages of twins in sam
