This thesis studies the phenomenon of jamming in granular media, such as when a salt shaker gets clogged. We use modern instrumentation, like X-ray synchrotron tomography, to look inside real jamming experiments. High performance computers allow simulating ...
Recent attention has focused on the in situ immobilization of uranium by stimulation of dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria (DMRB). The objective of this work was to investigate the effectiveness of this approach in heterogeneous and structured porous me ...
A finite volume method for solving the monodomain and bidomain models for the electrical activity of myocardial tissue is presented. These models consist of a parabolic PDE and a system of a parabolic and an elliptic PDE, respectively, for certain electric ...
This proposal focuses on the firms’ political capabilities as the major determinant to effectiveness of their nonmarket strategy. The term “nonmarket strategy” is relatively young and was primarily coined by Baron (1995) referring to the fact that a firm h ...
The rapid development of the Internet has created new opportunities for teaching in general and it is our aim to show how the current evolution can best be exploited for crystallography education in particular. Currently, we can find a very large selection ...
The success of 3DTV, as one of the emerging multimedia formats, will largely depend on the quality of experience it provides to the viewer in relation to traditional media. Therefore reliable methods for quality assessment are crucial in order to optimize ...
Supernatants from cell cultures (also called conditioned media, CMs) are commonly analyzed to study the pool of secreted proteins (secretome). To reduce the exogenous protein background, serum-free media are often used to obtain CMs. Serum deprivation, how ...
Nanoecotoxicology strives to understand the processes and mechanisms by which engineered nanoparticles (ENP) may exert toxic effects on aquatic organisms. Detailed knowledge of the chemical reactions of nanoparticles in the media and of their interactions ...
Recent years have seen an increasing scholarly debate on the role of the Internet as a sphere for public political expression and participation. Especially social digital media (SDM) are a phenomenon of interest to many scholars. The capability of SDM to f ...
Social media have transformed the Web into an interactive sharing platform where users upload data and media, comment on, and share this content within their social circles. Each content item is associated with an abundance of metadata and related informat ...
