Hello Mrs. Emilia Palonen,
I was wondering if your PhD dissertation is available, and if not yet, then when I might be able to find it. I would very much like to read it as it seemingly relates to my own current research. Is it digitally archived somewhere, as I suspect that even after publication it will be difficult to find outside of Europe (i.e., in Canada).
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Trevor
