Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluation model comparing a one-way with a returnable packaging system from a supply chain perspective. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical evaluation model for comparing cost efficiency and environmental impact of one-way and returnable packaging systems in supply chains is developed from literature. The deducted model is su

Innovation issues are increasingly highlighted in public policy, including competition policy. Not only is innovation a major factor behind economic growth in society, it is also increasingly shaping market conditions and affecting market participants’ behaviour. It therefore in various ways influences the legal analysis of markets and market practices. This dissertation examines the legal standa

This is a biography, based on the doctoral dissertation from 1980. It is the author’s conviction that the biography of a mystic should be available to the general public. A biography has a lasting value, while psychological interpretations may change. In Sweden, more popular presentations of scholarly research are regarded as a "third task", along with teaching and research.

Usually the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients are estimated either from a periodogram or from a windowed periodogram. We state a general estimator which also includes multitaper estimators. We propose approximations of the variance and bias of the estimate of each coefficient. By using Monte Carlo computations, we demonstrate that the approximations are accurate. Using the proposed formulas, the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakterier av arten Streptococcus pyogenes kallas på svenska för grupp A streptokocker (GAS). Bakterien kan finnas hos människan utan att orsaka sjukdom (bärarskap) men också orsaka sjukdomar som t.ex. halsfluss och svinkoppor som även kallas impetigo. Detta är relativt milda infektioner men bör behandlas med antibiotika eftersom det kan uppstå följdsjukdomar en tid efteGroup A streptococcus (GAS) is one of the most common of bacterial pathogens infecting humans, frequently causing throat and skin infection. Some GAS strains have surface-expressed virulence factors called M proteins that bind human plasminogen with high affinity. Plasminogen is a central component of the human fibrinolytic system, and is bound by an M protein termed PAM through defined binding mo

The thesis is a summary of five papers on crossing and extremal properties of normal processes

Models of the engineering design process and of the development process nowadays present similar forms in the engineering design literature and interact in a similar way. These models are often presented as generic, in order to be used in a wide area of applications. This interaction is however not unproblematic, and in this publication we present some important issues and challenge the generic as
