Specifically the unoccupied electron states above the vacuum level can be scanned by firing electrons at the sample which can be absorbed if they have the same energy as those unoccupied states. By tilting the electron beam the in plane momentum of the incoming electrons can be varied, thus mapping both dimensions of the bandstructure. This report presents an expansion of the software used to create those ARRES bandstructure maps. The new tool uses those local measurements of the surface bandstructure to map numerical properties which can be derived from those bandstructures. To demonstrate the concept the number of layers, bandgap and effective electron mass are mapped of a sample consisting of a few atomic layers of MoS2.Show less

In this thesis I try to come up with an answer by comparing the representation of gender within two Young Adult books and their adaptations (The Hunger Games and Divergent). And analyse the way in which stereotypes are being represented and if these stereotypes are in any way appealing to the young boy or girl reader.Show less

The research examines how the architectural elements and the design of the cankama fits into its time. This is done by comparing the structure to another important building of the early Buddhist period, the bodhigrha.Show less
This thesis aimed to provide a critical review on gender bias within the structural analysis method of Vladimir Propp, through the analysis of the Korean fairy tale of Changhwa and Hongnyon

This analysis contributes to a greater understanding on hominin dispersals in Europe from around 0.5 Ma, and their preferences concerning the climate and environment. The research problem therefore concerns the ecological tolerance towards early hominins. In this analysis, two samples are studied from different trenches and of different sedimentary composition: HAP10-L8 and HAP10-L7sample8 section2 (the lowest situated sample of section2). The identified taxa are compared with former macrobotanical research on different samples from HAP10-L7section2. From the outcome of these macrobotanical analyses, it is clear that we are dealing with a small freshwater river channel within a complex river system with many different plant habitats.Show less
