  1. 1. A Perambulating Paradox: British Travel Literature and the Image of Sweden, c.1770-1865

    Författare :Mark Davies; Historia; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Tidig modern historia till ca. 1800 ; Modern history up to circa 1800 ; 1700s 1800s; British Travel Literature; Sweden; Contemporary history circa 1800 to 1914 ; Modern historia ca. 1800-1914 ;

    Sammanfattning : Sweden of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was visited and toured by a number of British author-travellers, whose subsequently published views of and on the country and its people are examined and presented in this thesis. Using as primary sources British-published monographs deriving, wholly or in part, from an experienced Sweden of c. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy Studies at the Air-Liquid Interface

    Författare :Eric Tyrode; Mark Rutland; Paul Davies; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sum Frequency Generation; SFG; VSFS; surfactant; adsorption; water; surface structure; hydration; surface tension; fluorosurfactants; liquid-air interface; poly ethylene oxide surfactants; surface molecular orientation; acetic acid.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the structure and hydration of small organic and amphipilic compounds adsorbed at the air-liquid interface, have been studied using the nonlinear optical technique Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS). The second order nature of the sum frequency process makes this technique particularly surface sensitive and very suitable for interfacial studies, as molecules at the surface can be distinguished even in the presence of a vast excess of the same molecules in the bulk.

  4. 3. Urban Snowmelt Processes: Modelling and Observation

    Författare :Annette Semadeni Davies; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeology; energy; runoff; snow properties; heterogeneity; hydrological modelling; Urbanisation; snowmelt; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

    Sammanfattning : In northern Scandinavia and other cold regions, urban drainage systems are often unable to cope with the high volumes of melt water which can be sustained for several weeks. High waste water treatment plant inflows, combined system overflows and low water quality are a few problems associated with snowmelt. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Glömda gudstecken : från fornkyrklig dopliturgi till allmogens bomärken

    Författare :Tuve Skånberg; Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; signature; Egyptian papyri; baptismal liturgy; Chi Rho monogram; Christogram; Omega; Alpha; Christian symbols; Homeyer; bomärken; Marques de Propriété; Hofmarken; Hausmarken; identification marks; ownership marks; personal marks; Merchant Marks; identity marks; History of the Christian church; Kristna kyrkans historia;

    Sammanfattning : The pioneering academic research on Merchant Marks (also known as identity marks, personal marks, ownership marks, identification marks, Hausmarken, Hofmarken, Marques de Propriété, bomärken) was done by professor Homeyer (1870). Since 1870 there has been an ongoing debate among scholars whether Merchant Marks are simply formed by chance and coincidence, as stated by Rehnberg (1938, 1951), Scheffer (1957) and Nahlén (1992) or whether they are variations of Christian symbols, especially the cross, as stated by Sisson (1929) and Stevenson (1954).
