The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential of complex or exotic materials in radome and antenna design. The existing analysis methods need to be extended to cope with these materials in generic radome and antenna geometries. This paper focuses on electromagnetic properties of the material, the means of realizations, and the methods of computations. The main objectives of this paper

A new Key Environmental Performance Indicators (KEPIs) approach has been developed considering the perspective of a designer who may like to improve the environmental performance of the products but has limited resources and understanding of complex environmental issues. This approach empowers the designer with indicators like the area of PWB, the amount of precious metals etc which account for th

The partly hot-water driven CO2 capture plant offers a significant potential for improvement in performance when implemented in a combined-cycle power plant (CCPP). It is possible to achieve the same performance with a dual-pressure steam cycle as in a triple-pressure unit. Even a single-pressure plant can attain an efficiency competitive with that achievable with a triple-pressure plant without t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling problematiserar rörelsebegreppets politiska dimensioner med utgångspunkt i bondeupproret i Skåne 1811 samt skandinavismen vid 1800-talets mitt. Avhandlingen skall läsas som en kommentar till nutida utomparlamentariska röelser.A political movement is often discussed in terms of ideology and shared values. It is the ideas that are considered interesting, and it is the ideas that are thought to determine the action. While the intellectual content is subjected to profound analysis, the concept of movement is ignored and not problematized. In this dissertation, the ideological dimensions of the concept movement have been re

At Lund University Faculty of Technology a growing number of teachers develop active student learning methods. These methods can have some advantages in obtaining certain objectives with higher education. To take responsibility for the own learning process and also to learn how to independently handle information and use it in an adequate way are important skills to achieve during an university ed

Som en del av forskningsprojektet ”Runstenar i Tiohärad” genomfördes en arkeologisk forskningsundersökning i anslutning till runstenen Sm 42, RAÄ 38:1 i Ryssby socken, Ljungby kommun, Kronobergs län, under fyra dagar i juni månad 2013. Undersökningen visade att runstenen står på ursprunglig plats samt att det under vikingatid inte förefaller har funnits någon bebyggelse i runstenens absoluta närhe

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how theories of social and intellectual development of scientific fields can be used to analyze LIS, and especially its relationship to other research areas and the library and information field of practice. Scientific fields can be seen as reputational work organizations, where degrees of task uncertainty and mutual dependency control the coordination and d

Den dömande verksamheten är en av samhällets mest ingripande former av maktutövning. För att allmänheten ska ha förtroende för denna verksamhet krävs att den framstår som objektiv och därmed legitim. Med utgångspunkt i olika typer av kritik, som förts fram inom såväl den massmediala debatten som den mer rättsinterna aktualiseras frågor om objektivitet och rättstillämpningens legitimitet. FörfattarThe adjudication process is one of society’s most intrusive forms of power. To maintain the general public’s confidence in the judiciary, it is crucial that the judicial activities are perceived as being conducted objectively and hence legitimately. Criminal trials have been subjected to scrutiny and criticism of various kinds in the media as well as in internal debates within the legal discipline

The demand for improved models for simulation of mechanical problem is today very great, especially since today's computer capacity makes it possible to simulate large and complicated problems. In some applications, temperature effects and the heat generated from inelastic deformation can not be neglected in order to achieve a good accuracy of the simulation. In this thesis, a model for simulatio
