1. 1. Constructing Capabilities : Military Strategies of Small States in an Age of Transition: Examining the Influence of Strategic Culture

   University essay from Försvarshögskolan

   Author : Lara Kristjansdottir; [2024]
   Keywords : Strategic culture; neorealism; military strategy; defence planning; small state security; Sweden and Denmark.;

   Abstract : Scholars tend to approach small states’ military strategies in terms of restraints and opportunities in the external security environment, largely overlooking the influences of a state’s domestic particularities. This thesis aims to explore how the theory of strategic culture, regarded here as an inherent, domestic context in which strategy is formulated, can add nuance to such realist analyses of how small states build and adjust their defence capabilities.

3. 2. Application of Fourier Transforms to time-resolved ambient pressure spectroscopy operando studies of CO oxidation over Pt(111)

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik

   Author : Grigore-Leon Ratiu; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The study of heterogeneous catalysis has important implications in increasing the efficiency of industrial processes and in reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from sources such as automobiles. A reaction with high industrial relevance is the oxidation of CO on noble metal catalysts. READ MORE

6. 5. Quantum Optical Description of High-order Harmonic Generation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Isabel Moreno; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear process in which an atom interacts with a strong laser field. The laser field lowers the atomic potential barrier allowing bound electrons to escape into the continuum through tunnel ionization, propagate, and, with some probability, recombine with the parent ion.
