Technical Design Report for the Upgrade of the ALICE Inner Tracking System
2014
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is studying the physics of strongly interacting matter, and in particular the properties of the Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP), using proton–proton, proton–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions at the CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The ALICE Collaboration is preparing a major upgrade of the experimental apparatus, planned for installation in the second long LHC shutdown in the years 2018–2019. A key element of the ALICE upgrade is the construction of a new, ultra-light, high-resolution Inner Tracking System (ITS) based on monolithic CMOS pixel detectors. The primary focus of the ITS upgrade is on improving the performance for detection of heavy-flavour …
Non-linear optical, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of amphiphilic inner salt porphyrinic systems
2016
Three zwitterionic meso-substituted A3B- and AB2C-porphyrins containing one sulfonato alkylpyridinium substituent and three or two alkoxy-substituted phenyl groups were synthesized in good yield and fully characterized as to their physicochemical properties by a variety of techniques. This new series of inner salt donor-acceptor meso-substituted porphyrin derivatives were prepared for possible application as amphiphilic probes for membrane insertion in the area of combined second-harmonic and two-photon fluorescence cellular microscopy. To this end, the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the compounds were characterized, together with their electrochemical and spectroelectrochemica…
Shared Sequences from Network Therapy with Adolescents Only the therapist Finds Meaningful
2016
As part of a larger research project, this qualitative study explores sequences from six network therapy sessions. We focused on these sequences because only the therapists found them to be meaningful; the other participants did not think they were significant. The aim of this study was to explore the therapists’ inner dialogues, the degree to which these inner dialogues consist of professional and personal voices, and what this means for the dialogical process. We used a multi-perspective methodology that combines video recordings of network therapy sessions, participants’ interviews, and text analysis. We found that the outer dialogue and the therapists’ inner dialogues are strongly relat…
Chemical mapping of a fumarolic field: La Fossa Crater, Vulcano Island (Aeolian Islands, Italy)
2005
[1] The performance of a newly-developed portable gas analyzer, capable of real-time measurement of CO2, SO2 and H2S concentrations in volcanic gases, was tested at La Fossa Crater, Vulcano Island. The gas analyzer was used to acquire about 3000 determinations over the fumarolic field, allowing the definition of its chemical structure and heterogeneity. Our high-resolution analysis reveals that, in December 2004, the La Fossa fumarolic field was characterized by an oxidized inner core (SO2/H2S ratios of ∼3), and by more reducing conditions on its northern edge (SO2/H2S ratios of ∼1; range: 0.2–3.3). CO2/(SO2+H2S) molar ratios averaged 35 ± 21, with overlapping compositions for rim and inner…
«Fred byrjar i heimen» : ei etnografisk undersøking av ein kvinneorganisasjon som arbeider med fred i Bogota, Colombia
2019
Masteroppgave Global development and planning UT506 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 In the post-conflict situation that defines Colombia,SPK works to raise women’s awareness (or works to make women conscious) of their own potential tocontribute to local politics.This paper examinesthe meanings of peacework in all it’s shapes and forms, but also how this work is connected to a victim identity. Inspired by Dorothy Smith and institutional ethnography Iexamine what can control the work in the organization, with a particular eye on the role of financial supporters. Words as «empowerment» and «peace builder» are used both in SPK, but also in the general discourse around women and peace. The gender a…
Projections from the medial cortex in the brain of lizards: correlation of anterograde and retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase with Timm s…
1988
Efferent projections of the medial cortex of the lizards Podarcis hispanica and Gallotia stehlinii were studied by examining the transport of horseradish peroxidase; results were correlated with those from Timm-stained sections. Two efferent systems were found. The first reaches the distal part of the outer plexiform layer in the medial, dorsomedial, and dorsal cortices, i.e., zones that are negative to Timm staining, and possibly originates from horizontal fusiform neurons. The second reaches the Timm-positive zones in the cortex and septum and is topographically arranged: the vertical portion of the intermediate and caudal medial cortex and the entire rostral medial cortex project to the …

Glaucomatous Maculopathy: Thickness Differences on Inner and Outer Macular Layers between Ocular Hypertension and Early Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma U…
2020
The purpose of this study was to compare the thickness of all inner and outer macular layers between ocular hypertension (OHT) and early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 8 × 8 posterior pole algorithm (8 × 8 PPA). Fifty-seven eyes of 57 OHT individuals and fifty-seven eyes of 57 early POAG patients were included. The thickness of macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform and nuclear layer, photoreceptor layer (PRL) and retinal pigment epithelium were obtained in 64 cells for each macular layer and mean thickness of superior and inf…
Mental toughness in elite and sub-elite female soccer players
2017
Mental toughness (MT) is seen as an important psychological factor in the athletic success of elite athletes. Research on the subject has usually concerned male athletes. Our purpose was to investigate whether there are differences in mental toughness between female players who compete in an elite league and those who play at lower levels. In total, 298 female soccer players (M = 20.7 years, SD = 3.7 years) from three levels of Norwegian soccer responded to the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire. The MT Constancy subscale was removed from analysis due to an unacceptable Cronbach alpha (0.57). The results revealed that elite league players had significantly higher MT Global scores than th…
Kultūrvēsturisko pilsētbūvniecības ansambļu saglabāšana: Slokas centra piemērs
2018
Sloka pēdējās desmitgadēs ir piedzīvojusi nopietnas sociālas izmaiņas ar ietekmi uz tās pilsētvidi. Mūsdienu situācija, atrodoties Jūrmalas pilsētas nomalē, ne vienmēr ir labvēlīga, lai tajā arī turpmāk varētu būt nozīmīgi pakalpojumu centri un pastāvīgajiem iedzīvotājiem paredzēts dzīvojamais fonds, dzīvojamā apkaime. Vietizpētei izvēlētais Slokas centrs piesaista ar tajā vēl joprojām esošajām un saskatāmajām pilsētvides vērtībām: cilvēku vajadzībām un ģeogrāfiskajam novietojumam atbilstošu un plānotu vidi, publiski pieejamu Lielupes krastmalu. Darbā sniegta šī brīža situācijas dokumentācija un analīze, veidots salīdzinājums ar līdzīgiem apdzīvotu vietu piemēriem, lai parādītu, ka arī šāda…
