Det ha r examensarbetet a r en uppdatering utav SCA logistics befintliga mobil applikation. Arbetet a r gjort hos IT- fo retaget Easit ab som fo rvaltar SCA' logistics system. Applikationen anva nds fo r att spa ra fo retagets ba tar pa en karta och inneha ller kontaktuppgifter till ansta llda. Arbetet fo r det ha r projektet kommer att beskrivas fra n grunden om hur det a r att med fria ha nder kunna va lja det ramverk som passar ba st. Med dom krav som fo retaget har sta llt pa att applikationen ska inneha lla sa kommer flera ramverk att underso kas. Fo r att komma fram till vilket ramverk som ska anva ndas sa har tva prototyper gjorts som anva ndare provko rt och da refter svarat pa en underso kning. Utvecklingen av applikationen kommer att go ras med det ba st la mpade ramverket. Designen kommer att vara genuin sa att anva ndarna ma rker skillnad mellan dom olika plattformarna. Applikationen kommer kunna byggas pa med mer funktioner och uppdateras utan att man beho ver ladda upp till app store och google play.

O princípio da técnica reside na sensibilidade que esta ressonância apresenta com relação ao ângulo entre os feixes de luz incidentes, no limite de baixas intensidades. Este efeito resulta do deslocamento Doppler residual que surge em uma transição de dois fótons devido ao ângulo introduzido entre os feixes. O método foi demonstrado utilizando um sistema de dois níveis degenerados de átomos de Césio resfriados e aprisionados numa armadilha magneto-óptica. A partir da medida desta dependência angular, foi possível estimar a temperatura da amostra, cujo resultado está em bom acordo com medidas feitas no mesmo sistema utilizando outros métodos

The excitement which followed the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986 was short-lived, as it became clear that their current carrying capacity (the critical current density Jc) was limited by grain boundaries (GBs). In order to reduce their detrimental effects coated conductors have been developed, in which a superconducting thin film is deposited on a polycrystalline, textured substrate. Within certain temperature and magnetic field ranges, however, GBs still limit the overall Jc. This fact motivated the present thesis, for which the electrical properties of different types of coated conductors, and in particular their GBs, were investigated. Several GBs and a single grain were isolated in a tape produced by metal-organic deposition (MOD), using a novel approach based on electron backscatter diffraction and a focused ion beam microscope. Measurements of their critical current densities for fields swept in the film plane showed the expected decrease with increasing misorientation angle at low fields. At higher fields an angle dependent crossover was found, from a GB to grain limited Jc. In order to confirm this result and put it into broader perspective, the dependence of Jc on the width of polycrystalline tracks was studied, and then explained in terms of the behaviour of the single GBs. Investigations using low-temperature scanning laser microscopy rounded out the picture, which also showed GB dissipation at certain angles and grain limitation at others. In measurements on samples produced by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) characteristic differences compared to the MOD film were found. While both conductors exhibited high values of Jc, the variation with in-plane angle was significantly stronger for the MOCVD conductor, which can be explained by its sharper texture. In a track patterned perpendicular to the tape direction the phenomenon of vicinal channelling was observed, which previously was known only from films on single crystal substrates. Finally, an isolated boundary showed very high values of Jc, consistent with its low misorientation. In order to better understand how the substrate influences the superconducting properties, measurements were carried out on otherwise identical samples grown on different substrates. A tape with grains elongated along its rolling direction showed particularly good properties at all examined field orientations. This extends the previously reported result that high aspect ratios are beneficial at fields applied perpendicular to the tape plane.

Phenotypic plasticity allows some animals to change their behavioural, morphological, performance, and life history traits in response to changes in environmental conditions such as the presence of predators. These changes can enhance survival, but come at a cost. Some of these phenotypic changes are predator and diet specific. I examined the effects of predator diet on the performance, life-history, and morphology of developing Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens) tadpoles. Tadpoles were either exposed to cues from fish free water, cues from Brown Bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) fed a diet of trout pellets, or cues from A. nebulosus fed a L. pipiens tadpoles diet. Tadpoles exposed to predatory fish cues had smaller bodies, deeper tail fins, slower growth and development rates, and better rotational performance than tadpoles that were not exposed to predatory fish cues. Moreover, tadpoles appeared to differentiate between predatory fish diet and produced diet-specific responses in tail morphology and activity, although the latter effect was only marginally significant. Hatching, metamorphosis rates, and linear performance were not affected by the treatments. These results suggest that A. nebulosus can induce phenotypic changes in L. pipiens tadpoles, with some of these changes being diet specific.
