We present a solution for optimal triangulation in three views. The solution is guaranteed to find the optimal solution because it computes all the stationary points of the (maximum likelihood) objective function. Internally, the solution is found by computing roots of multivariate polynomial equations, directly solving the conditions for stationarity. The solver makes use of standard methods from

Energy simulation programs are commonly used to calculate the climate and energy requirements in glazed spaces and adjacent buildings. However, these programs have usually been developed to study buildings with ordinary window sizes. Comparisons of four simulation programs were carried out for a sunspace with an adjacent room. The distribution of solar radiation between the glazed space and the ad

Det resfria mötet – vårt sätt att arbeta och träffas utan att vara på samma plats fysiskt – blir allt vanligare. Men vad blir effekterna och hur mäter vi dessa? Med hjälp av verktyg som telefonkonferenser, videokonferenser och datorstödda mötesverktyg sköter vi en allt större del av vår dagliga verksamhet. Organisationer inför och använder resfria mötesverktyg med en förhoppning att de ska medföra

MIMO is a wireless communication technology that is growing in popularity due to its ability to deliver significant improvements over conventional systems. However, some applications require antennas to be closely spaced, which results in strong coupling among the antennas and performance degradation. Here we show that in a random field, load impedance can play an important role in the power, corr

Bird brooches at Uppåkra have a changing biography, as grave gifts, pendants, and scrap metal. The association between bird brooches and birds of prey, and a male face to female jewellery opens questions of identy of the wearer and the male person in question. Following the bird brooches and the connotations of falconry decode both a social identiy and a lifestyle, expressed in the aestetics of th

The complex interplay by tunneling and scattering in quantum cascade lasers is analyzed with nonequilibrium Green's functions. Data for a recently proposed simple structure based on only two wells per period is presented. This simple structure allows to visualize the relevance of the tunneling resonance very clearly. It is argued that a QCL design needs at least three levels per period, thus furth

In an era of lifelong learning, empowerment of the learner becomes fundamental. Therefore ex-ploitation of the full potential of learning objects depends upon creation of an appropriate infra-structure to promote symmetrical control of inquiry. The learner needs to be empowered because learning is a discovery process and thus must be under his or her own control. In early stages of education it
