We present an estimate for the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann iteration for the discretized unsteady transmission problem. Specifically, we consider the coupling of two heat equations on two identical squared domains. The Laplacian is discretized by second order central finite differences and the implicit Euler method is used for the time discretization. For the semidiscrete case, Hensh
During the 1990s several kinds of reorganization has taken place in public services in Sweden. Reorganizations according to the idea of market economy have been most salient and debated. In many municipalities private companies have started to organize home care service for elderly, financed by tax. Public home care organizations have reorganized the working organization and managing structure, pa
To meet the desirable characteristic for sample preparation in contemporary, i. e. automation, high enrichment, clean-up, selectivity and essential solvent free techniques, the use of non-porous membrane extraction techniques is addressed. Principles, practices and province of the techniques are described as well as hyphenation with separation techniques. Furthermore, works in the thesis covers
The new contacts with the west reaffirmed the idea of interaction between the west and the Arab world. New literary works compared and contrasted the spirituality of the East with the materialism of the West - a theme that became a common one in modern Arabic literature.
Sikhism är i Sverige en liten religion med uppskattningsvis ett tusental anhängare. I det svenska samhället har sikherna främst uppmärksammats i samband med konflikter om deras symbolbruk av turban och dolk. Kapitlet behandlar några av de utmaningar som sikher möter i relationen med majoritetssamhället och reflekterar över hur de svenska sikherna har rekonstruerat och anpassat sitt religiösa liv t

A review of the literature is presented. Congenital renal and urinary tract anomalies are described, and the possible consequences of detecting them in utero are discussed. Prenatal detection of lethal anomalies affords the parents the option of terminating the pregnancy. If termination of pregnancy is not an acceptable option for the parents, the antenatal knowledge of lethal fetal anomaly helps
Southern Africa suffers from an acute lack in skilled capacities for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The region, with its unique disaster risk profile, is mostly bound by its inability to effect change and transformation for sustainable development and resilience building. Reasons for these limitations are largely due to the lack of capacities in disaster risk reduction with
