The frame story in Parsifal is situated in a dystopian Europe, devastated, war-weary and in a state of shock and decay. Main protagonists are a retired general, Piscator (cf. Fisher King) and a middle aged unemployed female journalist, Perle Vaus (cf.Perlesvaus/Perceval/Parsifal). With her questions Perle is trying to help the general to write his memoirs in a truthful way. The game with time a

I mitt föredrag kommer jag se närmare på hur lik älvdalskan är de nordiska atlantspråken, isländska och färöiska; det är ju något som ofta framhålls att älvdalskan skulle mer än andra skandinaviska dialekter ha likheter med öspråken. Jag kommer i stort sett att inskränka mig till morfologin(ordböjningen).

A high-spin rotational band has been observed in the N=90 nucleus 160Yb with very similar moment of inertia and decay characteristics to recently discovered sequences in 157,158Er which have been discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial structures. Well-deformed triaxial shapes are indeed expected in 160Yb at high spin and detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been performe

In this paper, physical limitations on antennas are presented based on the holomorphic properties of the forward scattering dyadic. As a direct consequence of causality and energy conservation, a forward dispersion relation for the extinction cross section is established, and isoperimetric inequalities for the partial realized gain and partial directivity are derived for antennas of arbitrary shap

A comprehensive risk analysis makes use of different datasets. Marine incidents data are essentially important datasets. The purpose of this study is to analyse marine incident databases in the BSR (Baltic Sea Region). The marine incident data in the region are inhabited by a wide rage of issues, such as limited data accessibility and availability, and the diversity in data quality, structure, amo

Malignant glioma is a tumor that spreads rapidly throughout brain and is almost impossible to remove completely by surgery. It is resistant to chemo- and radiotherapy and the prognosis is very poor. As a result, there is a desperate need for development of novel therapies against this devastating disease. Because of the heterogeneity in this cancer success has been limited, but a recent concept in

We consider the problem of designing optimal linear encoders and decoders for estimation and transmission of a signal over an analog communication channel with additive noise and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) constraint. The objective is to minimize the variance of the estimation error at the receiving end, subject to a real-time constraint. It has been previously shown that, for channels without
