Purpose The aim of this paper is to provide insights into, and perspectives on, the transformation of mindsets for logisticians. We argue that by exploring paradoxes inherent in the efficiency-focused paradigm of today, a strategic mindset can emerge in which central logistics management issues can be addressed, understood, and dealt with in order to enhance supply chain effectiveness and innovati

BMP receptors determine the intensity of BMP signals via Smad1 C-terminal phosphorylations. Here we show that a finely controlled cell biological pathway terminates this activity. The duration of the activated pSmad1Cter signal was regulated by sequential Smad1 linker region phosphorylations at conserved MAPK and GSK3 sites required for its polyubiquitinylation and transport to the centrosome. Pro

Tema för denna uppsats är ordningen mellan negation och det finita verbet i bisatser i de tre fastlandsskandinaviska språken, danska, norska (bokmål och nynorsk) och svenska. Uppsatsen är baserad på omfattande undersökningar i tal- och skriftspråkskorpusar. Jag utgår ifrån att den för samtliga språken gällande bisatsordföljden är den raka ordföljden med negationen efter subjektet men framför finit

This paper describes a procedure for the automatic detection of sluggish control loops obtained from conservatively tuned controllers. A measure, the Idle index, of the sluggishness of the control loop is defined. The Idle index describes the relation between times of positive and negative correlation between the control and measurement signal increments. It can be determined with a very small amo

The direct problem of time dependent electromagnetic scattering in the dispersive sphere is solved by a wave splitting technique. The electric field is expanded in a series involving vector spherical harmonics, leading to a system of wave equations for each term. These systems are reduced to scalar wave equations for each term, which are solved via reflection operators. Some preliminary numerical

This study investigates the accuracy with which a simple propagation model based on geometrical optics (GO) and uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) can be used to predict the fading characteristics near a base station. The model uses both standard first order three dimensional GO and UTD to simulate near field propagation at the base station. Simulation results are compared with data from a measur

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are crucial to life. Daily and throughout the life span of an individual they are responsible for replacing approximately 10(12) mature blood cells. Mature cells are, for example, required for transportation of oxygen, defense against infections and to stop bleeding. Thus, our aim with this study was to characterize these rare murine (Lin-Sca1+c-kit+) and human (CD34

Sum rules are useful in many branches of physics and engineering as they relate all spectrum parameter values with their asymptotic expansions. Properties of the dynamic response can hence be inferred by the, in many cases much simpler, static response. This has e.g., been used for lossless matching networks, radar absorbers, extinction cross section, partial realized gain of antennas, high-impeda
