We report on the use of a liquid crystalline host medium to align single-walled carbon nanotubes in an electric field using an in-plane electrode configuration. Electron microscopy reveals that the nanotubes orient in the field with a resulting increase in the DC conductivity in the field direction. Current versus voltage measurements on the composite show a nonlinear behavior, which was modelled

Humanity’s ever-growing energy demands require the implementation of more sustainable ways to harvest and store energy. At the same time, the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and thus global warming remains of paramount importance. To this end, solar energy harvesting presents an attractive route towards satisfying these requirements—be that by conversion to thermal energy, electricity or to c

Konflikter mellan olika samhällsgrupper och människors fördomar har länge intresserat samhällsvetenskapliga forskare. Många har också sökt svar på frågan om vad som kan göras för att överbrygga och minska dessa klyftor, splittringar och fördomar. Denna avhandling relaterar till denna diskussion och forskningsprocessen har ägt rum i flera steg. Först har en experimentell praxis utvecklats för att m

The Forum Romanum constituted the religious, political, economic and administrative centre of Rome for more than a millennium. During this time it went through several changes. It transformed from a liminal zone in the periphery of the Iron Age settlements into a communal space and sacred ground; later into an arena for political struggle and civic ambition; and finally into a showcase for Imperia

Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (or, earlier, Syndrome) covers a great variety of symptoms which develop in a variety of contexts – accidents, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, wars and other events where people come face to face with violence and death. PTSD was included in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-III, during the early 1980s.
