Urbanism is much more than simply an agglomeration of houses : it is a particular way of living space. Our considerations starts out from some of the historically prominent figures of urbanity, such as the market-place, the boulevard and the coffee house. Semiotics of space may either involve a certain number of elementary building-blocks being combined in particular ways, much as language is ; or

The fact that the debate concerning copyright in a digital society has been both intense and filled with polemic conflicts ever since the late 1990s makes it clear that it is a most complicated issue to solve, or even grasp. Basically, both the legal and societal discussion and development are explicitly dependent on a greater understanding of the on-going processes surrounding copyright. This pre

The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int

Popular Abstract in Swedish Respiratorbehandling är nödvändig då en patient på grund av kronisk eller akut lungsjukdom inte själv kan upprätthålla ett adekvat gasutbyte. Bakomliggande orsaker kan vara kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom, lunginflammation, blodförgiftning eller trauma. Respiratorbehandling kan i sig orsaka ytterligare skador på redan sjuka eller skadade lungor. Bland de faktorer som harIncreasing attention is paid to mechanical ventilation as one cause behind aggravation of lung injury. Lung protective ventilation can be achieved e.g. by minimising tidal lung collapse and re-expansion and by the use of small tidal volume allowing some degree of permissive hypercapnia. The ventilator and the sick lung comprise a very complex system. Identification of a ventilator setting that wit

Klimatförhållandena har stor betydelse för om en art kan ha livskraftiga populationer på en viss plats, både genom direkta effekter på organismerna, och indirekta effekter på andra arter i ekosystemet, det vill säga arter som den är beroende av, predatorer och konkurrenter. Den biologiska mångfalden är viktig för ekosystemens förmåga att klara klimatförändringar. Vårt användande av landskapet ka

Det politiska intresset för gymnasial yrkesutbildning och framför allt för lärlingsutbildning fortsätter att vara högt. Sedan 1990-talet har yrkesutbildningen i Sverige genomgått flera omfattande reformer. År 2011 infördes reguljära lärlingsutbildningar. Hösten 2013 blev lärlingsutbildningen föremål för nya politiska initiativ. Ambitionen är att genomföra ett »systemskifte « och lägga upp lärling

Popular Abstract in English Typically, when we speak of ionic solutions we mean a salt (as solute) dissolved in some liquid (the solvent). In this thesis, we predominantly consider ionic solutions for which there is no solvent---room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). It follows that these liquids have a large concentration of charged particles, a property that causes them to be effective electrRoom-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are compounds composed entirely of ions, which are liquid at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Their high ionic strength and strong coupling make them useful for a number of applications, e.g. as electrolytes in supercapacitors. These properties also make them interesting subjects for theoretical research, as the canonical theories of the electrical dou
