The decision depth for finite and infinite partial response signaling (PRS) schemes is investigated. New measures are proposed that take into account error event multiplicity. We conclude that small to moderate decoder decision depths achieve performance near MLSE even for near catastrophic codes. Under some constraints, the decision depth should be an increasing function of the signal to noise ra

By using an integrated dynamic model we are able to reconstruct the supply and gold price of the past (1920-2010) and this is used to predict the future supply of gold to the market and to make a forecast of the goldprice 2010-2100. The model was validated against field data for the period 1920-2010 and it performs well. The model GOLD is implemented in the STELLA® software and the model described

Description of development aid projects as an archipelago, called 'Aidland', with a specific set of practices, groups and ideologies

Investigates whether the TV films based on Henning Mankell's books about Kurt Wallander can be considered to promote the important regional activity that is the food industry.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Men älskar du honom? Så frågar en ung flicka på 1820-talet sin syster Henrietta som just skall gifta sig. Nej det gör Henrietta inte men hon böjer sig för den krassa verkligheten, behovet att bli försörjd. Den stillsamma frågan anger något som kan tolkas som en tyst revolution: övergången från en äldre syn på äktenskapet som ett ekonomiskt kontrakt till en uppfattning aThe main theme of this dissertation is the question of how young women in the early middle class handled the new demands for marriage based on love instead of on judgements of moral, economy and status. Another theme is the education of these middle class girls around 1800 and the question how this new education interacted with the new demands for love marriage. The German social historian Ulrike

The chapter describes my career as a student and sociologist, my Indian studies, my perspectives on Swedisk sociology over the past 40 years, and how I think the discipline can move forward today.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kardiovaskulära sjukdomar står för en stor del av västvärldens sjuklighet och dödlighet. Dessa sjukdomar kännetecknas av förändringar i det kardiovaskulära systemets funktion, vilket kan leda till ökat blodtryck och förträngning av blodkärlen. Flera olika peptiderga signalsubstanser är involverade i reglering av kärltonus och tillväxt. Av dessa spelar endothelinerna en Cardiovascular diseases are characterized by changes in morphology and function of the blood vessels. Different signalling molecules are involved in these changes. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is one of the most potent signalling molecules found in man. Its actions are mediated by two receptors, the ETA and the ETB receptors. The ETA receptor is located on the smooth muscle cells and mediates potent contra

As new therapeutic areas in which genetic material is employed, i.e. gene therapy and DNA vaccination, are expanding, a substantial increase in the demand for gene vectors, e.g. plasmid DNA, is foreseen. Chromatography, being a high-resolution method, is considered essential for the purification of gene vectors when high purity is required. Plasmids are large molecules, which cannot penetrate the

Beskrivning ges av analysteknik (protoninducerad röntgenstrålning), provtagningsteknik (kaskadimpaktor av Battelle-typ) och provberedningsteknik. Utfört arbete i form av provbehandlingsförbättringar, konstruktion och förbättring av provtagare, bestämning av lämpliga analysparametrar samt uppbyggnad av ett dataprogramsystem presenteras. Sammanställning av resultat i form av beräknade medelvärden i

Konventionella guider för utformning och förvaltning av trafikleder och stadsgator har vanligtvis inriktats antingen mot huvudtrafikleder eller mot lokala stadsgator. Det är för närvarande brist på ett tydligt och konsekvent angreppssätt för arbetet med utformning av huvudgator där signifikant genomfartstrafik och lokala funktioner kombineras. Målet är att denna rapport ska avhjälpa den bristen ge

Abstract in Undetermined“It is simply too much” is a common complaint of the modern age. This book looks at how people and institutions deal with overflow - of information, consumption or choices. The essays explore the ways in which notions of overflow – framed in terms of excess and abundance or their implicit opposites, scarcity and dearth – crop up in a number of contexts such as sociological

Response time is a measure of quality of service in com- puter systems. Estimation techniques, suitable for support systems for mobile phone systems, are explored. These sys- tems are complex queueing systems with large databases. The trac generated by users and system adminstrators changes rapidly, some loads can be measured other cannot. Attempts to capture all details give models that are not s

In Skåne there are 167 casles and castle sites. 40 of these sites are described in the book. The intoduction charpter gives a broad view of the danish castle developement from Viking age to renaissance.

Presents an iterative approach to optimal control when modeling errors are present. The problem considered is movement of open containers containing liquid in an industrial packaging machine. The goal is to move as fast as possible without too much slosh. There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine, therefore open loop control via the acceleration reference is the only possibilit

Stochastic analysis of edge detectors can be made either by theoretical modeling of the image formation process and the edge detectors or by empirical stochastic analysis of the edge locations. In this paper we study and model the image formation process in detail. In particular the much neglected discretisation process is modelled and taken into account. This makes it possible to define and analy
