We present extensive density-functional theory (DFT) based calculations of the clean Rh(111) surface and of CO/Rh(111) overlayer systems. We study both ground-state structural properties and core-level shifts from differences in total energies at different coverages and adsorption sites. Most results are obtained using using norm-conserving or ultrasoft pseudopotentials. The overall reliability of
he paper discusses how courses in mechanics can be taught to architectural students in such a way that concepts are presented to them in a manner making mechanics an inspiration for the designing process rather than simply imposing limitations on it. In courses of this sort that have been held, emphasis has been placed on the use of software to facilitate an intuitive understanding of physical rel
A number of minimal problems of structure from motion for cameras with radial distortion have recently been studied and solved in some cases. These problems are known to be numerically very challenging and in several cases there exist no known practical algorithm yielding solutions in floating point arithmetic. We make some crucial observations concerning the floating point implementation of Gröbn
Scholars on Europeanization generally agree that local level governments are somewhat Europeanized since they are affected by EU legislation. The debate between scholars rather revolves around how local level governments are Europeanized. This study finds itself at the centre of the debate and studies what aspects of Europeanization that are present in the local level governments in Sweden. T
This study explores the dual structure of China's publishing industry, focusing on the China Standard Book Number (中国标准书号) system. This system grants book number rights exclusively to state-owned entities linked to the Communist Party, who then sell these numbers to private publishers. The research examines how this licensing system influences party control and market dynamics within the indus
The fishing industry is vital for global food security, providing nutrient-rich food, supporting livelihoods, and contributing to economic growth. As the global population continues to grow, it is essential to approach fishing in a sustainable way and preserve marine ecosystems. The United Nations has recognized overfishing as a significant issue. For 2017, it was estimated that about 34% of fish
In this thesis we performed a pooled cohort study to investigate the role of radiomics in head and neck cancer prognosis. The aim was to investigate prognostic value for overall survival and cancer recurrence of radiomics combined with previously studied demographic and clinical risk factors. Radiomics features were extracted from the gross tumor volume on a computed tomography captured prior to r
The 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) introduced human rights due diligence (HRDD) as a societal expectation to businesses to implement a new kind of due diligence risk management process to ‘know and show’ they respect human rights. Ten years later, mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation imposing a legal duty to carry out HRDD has become mainstream
The rapid evolution of modern chipsets and sensors has led to most modern smartphones are capable of providing an Augmented Reality (AR ) experience. Recent advancements in web development have made it possible to leverage the mobile device’s AR capabilities and deliver immersive content directly in the browser. The web-based immersive content may constitute a future platform for instructions and
This study aims to identify obstacles and barriers to achieving quality distance learning and the use of electronic exams, comparing them to pursue success in the distance education system during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). It also aimed to determine the similarity and differences between the two main components of distance education. This is based on a sample of evaluations from professo
The majority of Common Cranes (Grus grus) breeding in northern Europe are short- to medium-distance migrants that overwinter in southern Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. However, some individuals migrate longer distances to as far as Ethiopia. Using data from 18 satellite-tracked juvenile Common Cranes, we assessed (1) the length and landscape composition of the migratory routes used
Ohövliga beteenden har visats vara ett vanligt förekommande fenomen, med negativa effekter för individer, organisationer och samhället. Under de senaste två decennierna har omfattande forskningsfokus lagts på att öka kunskapen kring ohövlighet i arbetslivet, bland annat genom att undersöka utsatta, och utövare av ohövlighet. Trots detta så har färre studier undersökt hur ohövliga beteenden påverkaWorkplace incivility has been found to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, with adverse effects for individuals, organizations and society. Over the past two decades, substantial research efforts have been made to increase knowledge about workplace incivility, including investigations of its targets and perpetrators. However, less research has been conducted on how workplace incivility impacts bystanders.
A combination of theoretical predictions and isotopic equilibration experiments using the three-isotope method have been performed to assess Si isotope fractionation among minerals, and aqueous species in the presence of dissolved catechol. Aqueous Si in abiotic ambient temperature aqueous solutions is dominated by the IV-coordinated H4SiO04species, but the presence of aqueous catechol provokes th
Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is suggested as risk marker for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, pathologic tau deposition in the brain has been shown closely related to clinical manifestations, such as cognitive deficits. Yet, associations between tau pathology and MBI have rarely been investigated. It is further debated if MBI precedes cognitive deficits i
Oxygen and nitrate availabilities impact the marine nitrogen cycle at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here, we demonstrate the impact of denitrifying foraminifera on the nitrogen cycle at two oxygen and nitrate contrasting stations in a fjord environment (Gullmar Fjord, Sweden). Denitrification by benthic foraminifera was determined through the combination of specific density counting per
Lignin, the world's most abundant biopolymer with high aromaticity, has huge potential as a renewable feedstock replacing petroleum for the production of chemicals, fuels and functional materials. The enhanced utilization of lignin would improve the economic viability of existing pulp and paper mills, as well as lignocellulosic biorefineries, where lignin is highly available, but mostly incinerate
