Analysis, assessment, and design of advanced wire-line transmission schemes over multipair copper cables require accurate knowledge of the channel properties. This paper investigates modeling of multiconductor cables based on interpair impedance measurements. A unified approach to the application of the "Cioffi" model is introduced. The direct measurement approach of the underlying interpair imped

We present the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of BeO at the Be 1s photoabsorption edge. The RIXS spectra excited in the vicinity of the core exciton resonance show two principal features: the scattering on a valence exciton (which at higher excitation energies verges into the characteristic K alpha emission), and a remarkably strong energy loss side-band to the elastic scatteri

The main aim of the study is to explain how pupils´ consciousness of history in comprehensive school is formed and created by teaching. A second aim is to emphasize and to problematise the prerequisites for developing the consciousness of history through teaching. The empirical data consists of three parts: 1. Pupil's associations to the concepts of "time", "past" and "future". 2. Essays (national

Bird migration has been assumed, mostly implicitly, to represent a distinct class of animal behavior, with deep and strong homologies in the various phenotypic expressions of migratory behavior between different taxa. Here the evidence for the existence of what could be called a "migratory syndrome," a tightly integrated, old group of adaptive traits that enables birds to commit themselves to high

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med studien var att utvärdera förändringar avseende psykologiska och sociala variabler före och efter gruppterapi för vuxna kvinnor som utsatts för sexuella övergrepp i barndomen. Ytterligare syften var att beskriva och genom "consumer satisfaction" utvärdera den traumafokuserade gruppterapin, att beskriva kvinnornas hälsa före gruppterapistart och att utvärdera The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in psychological and social variables before and after group therapy for adult women who were sexually abused in childhood. Other aims were to describe and evaluate the traumafocused group therapy by consumer satisfaction, to describe the women's health before group therapy start and to evaluate the impact of single childhood sexual abuse variables on m

We study spin-resolved probability distributions for electrons in a multichannel waveguide in the presence of a spin-orbit interaction. For a spin-polarized electron injection, a zitterbewegung pattern is predicted in the probability distribution of electrons in the waveguide. For a spin-unpolarized injection, the spin-resolved electron probability in the waveguide shows spin accumulations. In add

The aim of this study was to demonstrate electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) as a powerful tool in determining diffusion coefficients and partition coefficients for proteins in gels. ESPI employs a CCD camera instead of a holographic plate as in conventional holographic interferometry. This gives the advantage of being able to choose the reference state freely. If a hologram at the,re

The bicyclic keto-alcohol (1S,4R,6S)-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-6-ol-2-one, (+)-3, self-assembles in the solid state through hydrogen bonds between the alcohol and the carbonyl groups creating supramolecular helices, without the aid of other forces such as pi-pi interactions to stabilise the superstructure. Furthermore, the bicyclic compound (4) although structurally quite different, in relation to (+)-3

A comprehensive set of 4He(,n) absolute cross-section measurements was performed at MAX-lab in Lund, Sweden. Tagged photons from 23

Abstract: Purpose – While the importance of measuring customer satisfaction levels is well established, less research exists on how organizations operationalize such knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to describe an action research (AR) case study resulting in a workshop model to operationalize the concept of value. The model facilitates organizational learning and mindset changes in order to

Popular Abstract in Swedish "Det var en gång en kung som aldrig gjorde något bra för sina undersåtar. Han gjorde faktiskt aldrig nånting. Det enda han ville var att äta och dricka, och berusa sig tillsammans med sitt hov. Under tiden svalt folket ihjäl." Anna frågar: varför kunde inte människorna äta hemma? "Tyst nu, och lyssna på fortsättningen…" (citat ur avhandlingen) Martina Camparts forskniAbstract The point of departure for this study is the author's experience as educator in a residential home for children (age 6-14) with social-emotional problems, in Italy, between 1980 and 1989. One important element of the pedagogical approach was the use of narratives (personal, of others, of fiction) to prompt children's interest/ motivation to reflect about issues of personal concern. A conv

In Escherichia coli the osmoprotective compound glycine betaine is produced from choline by two enzymes; choline dehydrogenase (CDH) oxidizes choline to betaine aldehyde and then further on to glycine betaine, while betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) facilitates the conversion of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine. To evaluate the importance of BADH, a BADH/CDH fusion enzyme was constructed an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Demens är ingen enhetlig sjukdom utan ett syndrom dvs en beteckning på en grupp symtom, som beskriver en långvarig försämring av hjärnans psykiska funktioner. Demens kan ha olika klinik profil och orsakas av olika skador och sjukdomar. Den vanligaste demenssjukdomen är Alzheimers sjukdom. Kring denna sjukdom finns mycket forskning gjord. Vaskulär demens är den näst vanlDuring the period (1976-1995) a total of 175 consecutive patients (m 88/f 87) with neuropathologically verified vascular dementia (VaD) were examined. 22 patients with pure Alzheimer's Disease (AD) were also studied. All patients were diagnosed and followed at the Department of Psychogeriatrics (Lund University Hospital). The neuropathological examination revealed VaD, sometimes with additional co

Background: There is a shortage of reports on what potential recipients of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators ( ICDs) need to be informed about and what role they can and want to play in the decision-making process when it comes to whether or not to implant an ICD. Aims: To explore how patients with heart failure and previous episodes of malignant arrhythmia experience and view their role in
