Within the framework of a Swedish national experiment with different types of Intelligent Speed Adaptation, 300 vehicles are being equipped with an active gas pedal in the city of Lund. The active gas pedal provides drivers with counter-force whenever they try to exceed the pre-set speed limit. During the experiment the equipment will be continuously set on the actual speed limit. The vehicles wil

Untripped sport utility vehicle rollovers are dangerous and possibly lethal accidents. A new kinetic energy based measure, that indicates an imminent wheel lift-off, is introduced. This measure is used by a gain scheduled linear quadratic (LQ) controller to prevent wheel lift-off. The LQ controller outputs the desired changes of the forces acting on the chassis. These force changes are mapped to b

We report on recent progress in hydrodynamical modelling of the surfacelayers of late M- and L-type main- as well as pre-main-sequence objects.Despite the complex chemistry encountered in the cool atmospheres ofsuch objects a reasonably accurate representation of the radiativetransfer is possible - even within time-dependent multi-dimensionalmodels. The detailed treatment of the interplay between

Traditionally humanitarian organisations have based warehouse locations on individuals’ experience and knowledge, rather than decision support tools such as network optimisation models. This paper presents a study undertaken for UNHCR aiming to develop an applicable warehouse location support tool by considering the most relevant contextual factors.

Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (

We have fit synthetic visibilities from 3-D (CO5BOLD +PHOENIX) and 1-D (PHOENIX, ATLAS12) model stellar atmospheres forProcyon (F5 IV) to high-precision interferometric data from the VINCIinstrument at the VLT Interferometer (K-band) and from the Mark IIIinterferometer (500 nm, 800 nm). These data provide a test oftheoretical wavelength-dependent limb-darkening predictions, andtherefore Procyon's

This paper aspires to indicate how much broadband communication the Swedish copper access network can offer when developed to its full potential. We look at a number of different infrastructure deployment scenarios and calculate the Shannon capacity of the copper loops using different deployment-dependent loop-length distributions with different deployment-dependent and technology-dependent noise
