In: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 66:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Level schemes of Cd-99(48)51 and In-101(49)52 nuclei have been extended to high spin. The breakup of the doubly magic Sn-100 core has been observed. Large-scale shell model calculations based on realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions are in good agreement with the experimental data. These results provide a reliable basis to predict nuclear structure properties in Sn-100 and its neighbors. For example, the size of the N=50 shell gap and the energy of the first excited state in Sn-101 have been deduced.

Motion Vision Processing in Fly Lobula Plate Tangential Cells
- 2014
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Flies are highly visually guided animals. In this thesis, I have used hoverflies as a model for studying motion vision. Flies process motion vision in three visual ganglia: the lamina, the medulla, and the lobula complex. In the posterior part of lobula complex, there are around 60 lobula plate tangential cells (LPTCs). Most of LPTCs have large receptive fields where the local direction sensitivity suggests that they function as matched filters to specific types of optic flow. LPTCs connect to descending or neck motor neurons that control wing and head movements, respectively. Therefore, in this thesis I have focused on the electrophysiological responses of LPTCs to gain understanding of visual behaviors in flies.The elementary motion detector (EMD) is a model that can explain the formation of local motion sensitivity. However, responses to higher order motion, where the direction of luminance change is uncorrelated with the direction of movement, cannot be predicted by classic EMDs. Nevertheless, behavior shows that flies can see and track bars with higher order motion cues. I showed (Paper I) that several LPTCs also respond to higher order motion.Many insects, including flies, release octopamine during flight. Therefore, adding octopamine receptor agonists can mimic physical activity. Our study (Paper II) investigated the effect of octopamine on three adaptation components. We found that the contrast gain reduction showed a frequency dependent increase after octopamine stimulation. Since the contrast gain is non-directional, it is likely presynaptic to the LPTC. We therefore believe that octopamine acts on the delay filter in the EMD.In the third paper we describe a novel LPTC. The centrifugal stationary inhibited flicker excited (cSIFE) is excited by flicker and inhibited by stationary patterns. Neither of these responses can be predicted by EMD models. Therefore, we provide a new type of motion detector that can explain cSIFE’s responses (Paper III).During bar tracking, self-generated optic flow may counteract the steering effect by inducing a contradictory optomotor response. Behavior shows that during bar fixation, flies ignore background optic flow. Our study (Paper IV) focus on the different receptive fields of two LPTCs, and relate these to the bar fixation behavior. In the neuron with a small and fronto-dorsal receptive field, we find a higher correlation with bar motion than with background motion. In contrast, the neuron with a larger receptive field shows a higher correlation with background motion.

Broadband ferromagnetic resonance system and methods for ultrathin magnetic films
- 2014
-
In: Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. - : Elsevier BV. - 0304-8853 .- 1873-4766. ; 356, s. 12-20

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Spintronics requires the development, of magnetic thin film structures having a wide range of magnetic properties. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is a well understood experimental technique that has proven to be an invaluable tool to probe the static and dynamic magnetic properties of ultrathin films, multilayer nanostructures, and super lattices. In order to achieve a full characterization of thin film materials, one Reeds to carry out FMR measurements at a wide range of microwave frequencies. In this paper, we show that one does not have to use a broadband vector network analyzer; similar performance can be achieved by using a broadband microwave signal generator, a coplanar waveguide, and a broadband microwave detector. To obtain a good signal to noise ratio, one needs to employ a modulation technique in order to use lock-in detection; in this paper, we use low frequency external field modulation (105 Hz) and microwave power amplitude pulse modulation (10 kHz). The sensitivity and he performance of this broadband microwave system is demonstrated on two types of samples: molecular beam epitaxy grown single crystal GaAs(001)/Fe/Au and sputter deposit:cc! textured Si(111)/Ta/Ru/Co/Ru superlattice structures. The samples were mounted on a coplanar waveguide, allowing one a broadband measurement, similar to 0.1-50 GHz, of DC field swept FMR signals. The results are compared to traditional field swept, field modulated measurements in microwave cavity resonators. Despite the fact that the FMR signal can be very different from that obtained by standard microwave cavities, we show that the analysis of the FMR signal is fairly simple using an admixture of the in-phase and out-of-phase components of rf susceptibility and that the resulting fitted magnetic parameters are in excellent agreement. Additionally, we demonstrate that microwave power amplitude pulse modulation can be used to greatly speed up data collection times, especially for very weak and broad FMR signals.

Electronic and optical properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4
- 2010
-
In: Journal of Applied Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-8979 .- 1089-7550. ; 107:5
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic structure as well as the optical response of kesterite and stannite structures of Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 are analyzed by a relativistic full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The energy dispersion of the conduction-band edge reveals larger effective electron mass of the two Cu2ZnSnS4 compounds (m(c1)approximate to 0.18m(0)) compared with Cu2ZnSnSe4 (m(c1)approximate to 0.07m(0)). Whereas the effective electron mass tensor is fairly isotropic, the effective hole masses show strong anisotropy. The fundamental band-gap energy is estimated to be E-g approximate to 1.5 eV for Cu2ZnSnS4 and E-g approximate to 1.0 eV for Cu2ZnSnSe4. The larger band gap results in a smaller high-frequency dielectric constant: epsilon(infinity)approximate to 6.7 for Cu2ZnSnS4 whereas epsilon(infinity)approximate to 8.6 for Cu2ZnSnSe4. The characteristic anisotropy of the dielectric function epsilon(omega) in the stannite compounds allows for a complementary identification of the crystalline structure type. Overall, however, all four compounds show similar atomic-resolved density-of-states, dielectric function, and optical absorption coefficient alpha(omega).

Data Center Energy and Cost Saving Evaluation
- 2015
-
In: Energy Procedia. - : Elsevier BV. - 1876-6102. ; 22:7, s. 1255-1260
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In data centers, about 40% of the total energy is consumed for cooling the IT equipment. Cooling costs are thus one of the major contributors to the total electricity bill of large data centers. This paper studies two factors affecting data center cooling energy consumption, namely air flow management and data center location selection. A unique rack layout with a vertically cooling air flow is proposed. Two cooling systems, computer room air conditioning (CRAC) cooling system and airside economizer (ASE), have been studied. Based on these two cooling systems, four cities have been selected from the worldwide data center locations. A number of energy efficiency metrics are explored for data center cooling, such as power usage effectiveness (PUE), coefficient of performance (COP) and chiller hours. By analyzing the effects of chiller hours and economizer hours, comparative economic results of cooling power consumption are provided in both systems. The results show that the cooling efficiency and operating costs vary significantly with different climate conditions, energy prices and cooling technologies. As climate condition is the major factor which affects the airside economizer, employing the airside economizer in the cold climate yields much lower energy consumption and operation costs.

From Core Rigidities to Core Paradoxes : A Meta-Configuration Perspective on Technology Incumbents Renewal
- 2018
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An incumbent’s renewal failure has long been attributed to technological change and the inability to develop capabilities and challenges arising from past adaptation success. Central to these challenges is the learning paradox which arises from rigidities in established values and other social characteristics. Working through this condition is taxing for organizational members and managers because of pace and uncertain effects in renewal trajectories. Building on these characteristics of technological trajectories, we develop a model that explains the phenomenon strategic renewal, how social contexts influence capability reconfiguration mechanisms in the incumbents’ responses to technological change and illuminate why and how configuration lock-ins can be overcome. Our model purports a meta-configurational trajectory of core paradoxes.

Thermodynamic description of the Fe-C-Cr-Mn-Ni-O system
- 2009
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Fe-C-Cr-Mn-Ni-O system is of fundamental importance when describing the influence of oxygen on high alloyed steels. Both solid and liquid phases are of great interest: The solid phases regarding oxidation processes like the formation of oxide layers, inner oxidation, sintering processes and high temperature corrosion. The liquid phase is of interest concerning the interaction between steel and its slag in a metallurgical context. In this thesis the thermodynamic properties of this system is described using the Calphad technique. The main idea of the Calphad technique is to describe the Gibbs energy of all phases in the system as a function of temperature, pressure and composition using appropriate thermodynamic models. When thermodynamic descriptions of all phases taking part in the system are modelled and described in a database, the equilibrium state could be calculated with a software that minimizes the total Gibbs energy. Models within the compound energy formalism are used for all solution phases, among them the ionic two-sublattice liquid model, to describe both the metallic and oxide melts. All simple spinels (Cr3O4, FeCr2O4, Fe3O4, FeMn2O4, Mn3O4, MnCr2O4, NiCr2O4, NiFe2O4, NiMn2O4) within this system are described using a four-sublattice model. In this thesis several binary and ternary systems have been assessed or partly reassessed. The Fe-C-Cr-Mn-Ni-O database achieved can be used with an appropriate thermodynamic software to calculate thermodynamic properties, equilibrium states and phase diagrams. In general, the agreement between calculated and experimental values is good.

A prospective study of the immune system activation biomarker neopterin and colorectal cancer risk
- 2015
-
In: Journal of the National Cancer Institute. - : Oxford University Press. - 0027-8874 .- 1460-2105. ; 107:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Neopterin may be relevant for colorectal cancer (CRC) development, as a biomarker of cellular immune activity exerting pleiotropic effects on cellular ageing, oxidative stress, and inflammation. So far, the association between prediagnostic neopterin and colon and rectal cancer risk has not been evaluated in human populations. Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort using data on plasma concentrations of total neopterin (T-N, sum of neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin) in 830 incident CRC case patients (561 colon and 269 rectal) matched within risk sets to 830 control participants. A subsequent replication study used data from the Hordaland Health Study, where 173 CRC case patients have been diagnosed among 6594 healthy participants over 12 years of follow-up. Results: After multivariable adjustment for a priori chosen CRC risk factors, a "U-shaped" association of T-N with CRC was revealed. Compared with the second quintile of the T-N distribution, the relative risks for the first, third, fourth, and fifth quintiles were 2.37 (95% CI = 1.66 to 3.39), 1.24 (95% CI = 0.87 to 1.77), 1.55 (95% CI = 1.08 to 2.22), and 2.31 (95% CI = 1.63 to 3.27), respectively. Replication of these associations within the Hordaland Health Study yielded similar results. No differences have been observed when the associations were explored by colon and rectal cancer site (two-sided P-difference = .87) and after excluding case patients diagnosed within the first four follow-up years. Conclusions: These novel findings provide evidence of the role of both suppressed and activated cell-mediated immunity as reflected by prediagnostic T-N concentrations in the development of CRC.
