The turbo code used in the 3GPP Long Term Evolution(LTE) standard have been chosen specifically to simplify parallel turbo decoding and thus achieving higher throughputs. The higher data rates however leads to an increased computational complexity and thus a higher power and energy consumption of the decoder. This report presents a turbo decoder for the LTE standard with a stopping crite- ria aime
One of the most pressing present day health concern is the constantly growing increase of diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. In fact the WHO estimates that as much as 300 million individuals could suffer from diabetes by 2025. While genetic factors do contribute to these issues the more common cause is modern day environmental factors like diets rich in fat or highly processed food, low levels oCan meal order influence blood glucose and insulin levels? When carbohydrates like white bread, rice etc. are consumed, glucose levels in the blood start to rise.Depending on how fast this rise in blood glucose levels occurs carbohydrates can be divided into high GI and low GI foods. High GI foods like bread, potatoes etc. cause a rapid spike in blood glucose levels while low GI foods like pasta c

The purpose of the first part was to collect information about different energy storage systems in a general study, and examine their di
The relationship between macroeconomic variables and the stock market index has been studied by a large number of academics and practitioners over the last two decades. However,even though the stock market in China has been in rapid development, the similar studies concerning China remain relatively insufficient. This study examines the relationship between the China’s stock market and a set of ma

At the same time cities have been acknowledged as agents of change when it comes to addressing these challenges. The urgency to address these problems has triggered cities to find smarter and innovative ways to deal with these challenges. C
Världen, och framförallt Europa, står idag inför stora påfrestningar med en flyktingström vars storlek enbart kan liknas med den under andra världskriget. Denna uppsats syftar till att svara på frågor kring flyktinginvandringens påverkan på den ekonomiska tillväxten på lång sikt. För att besvara frågeställningen görs en teoretisk analys genom att utvidga en tidigare utvidgad modell där effekterna
Denna rapport syftar till att studera regnbäddar och dess funktion vid rening av dagvatten samt vilka olika filter som kan användas. EU:s vattendirektiv från 2000 studeras tillsammas med hur kommuner arbetar med detta idag. En regnbädd definieras som ”en vegetationsbeklädd markbädd med fördröjningszon för infil- trering och behandling av dagvatten” och är en del av en öppen dagvattenhantering, d.v
The pipelined ADC is a popular Nyquist-rate data converter due to its attractive feature of maintaining high accuracy at high conversion rate with low complexity and power consumption. The rapid growth of its application such as mobile system, digital video and high speed data acquisition is driving the pipelined ADC design towards higher speed, higher precision with lower supply voltage and power
This study has investigated the possibilities of coating additive manufactured titanium dental prosthesis structures. Different coating alternatives were evaluated with the regards of esthetics, function and implementation possibilities. The coatings were applied on test samples and the adhesion between the printed titanium structures and the coating as well as to resin veneering applied on top wa
The worlds’ human population is continuously growing, and meeting the increased demand for food requires an increase of agricultural production. Agricultural ecosystems are of great importance for humans in terms of delivering provisioning ecosystem services, such as the production of food. The term ecosystem service is a function provided by natural environments, that are beneficial for humans. A
You might have heard the expression that the eyes are the window to the soul, but what if the eyes are also the window to the brain? What if you could see what happens in a person’s brain only by looking into their eyes? There is indeed a physical link between the eyes and the brain. The retina, the part of the eyes that is responsible for collecting incoming light, develops from a part of the b
The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st
Bredäng, a housing area in southwest Stockholm, was built between 1963 and 1965 as part of The Million Program, a Swedish government program to fix the housing shortage in the country. Bredäng is characterized by its green and blue qualities, but also by its many parking lots, poor public spaces, monotone architecture and storm water issues. Today, the housing shortage is once again an issue, esp
Beställarens rätt att avbeställa arbeten när denne ingått ett entreprenadavtal med avtalsgrund i AB 04 utreds och analyseras i denna uppsats. Vidare undersöks förhållandet mellan avbeställning och hävning. Detta görs med hjälp av en traditionell rättsdogmatisk metod. Författare på området synes vara överens om att beställaren har en avbeställningsrätt. Men, om denna kan anses följa direkt av AB The buyer´s right to cancellation of works in a commercial construction contract due to AB 04, is analysed in this paper. The relationship between cancellation and termination is also examined. This paper is based on a legal dogmatic method. Authors in this field agrees that the buyer is entitled to cancellation of works. But they do not agree if this right follows directly from AB 04, by outgoi
Understanding the dissolution kinetics is important in the experimental determination of solubility, the efficiency of extractions, the rate of reactions and in general any heterogeneous process. Despite the extensive use of supercritical fluids, studies regarding the dissolution kinetics of compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) using analytical methods are limited in the literature.

Hur bör de senaste decenniernas utveckling inom IT och pedagogik påverka utformningen av nya lärandemiljöer? Kan skolarkitektur bidra till att främja god fysisk och psykisk hälsa? Arbetssätt och målsättningar har ändrats mycket inom den svenska skolan under de senaste decennierna. Informationsteknologi har i grunden ändrat tillgängligheten till information och påverkat hur vi både arbetar och koHow should the technological and pedagogical development during the last few decades affect the design of new schools? Can school architecture contribute to good physical and mental health in young teenagers? The way of working and targets for what the students should achieve have changed a lot in Sweden during the last few decades. Information technology has fundamentally changed the ease of ac
Streptomyces is the largest genus in the phylum Actinobacteria, known for their complex life cycle and secondary metabolite production. The model bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor grows _lamentously by tip extension and hyphal branching. The hyphal tip is highly organised, with various structural proteins forming a large assembly termed the polarisome. An essential protein, DivIVA, localises to th
To what degree do transgender people trust welfare? This bachelor thesis aims to survey the trust in welfare institutions. Trust in institutions seems to affect to which extent people turn to and trust in welfare and will hence have consequences on individuals everyday- lives. Transgender people have, according to recent years Public Health Surveys, an inferior psychosocial position compared to th
Denna uppsats undersöker styrdokumenten i svenska för grundskolans senare år, från 1962, 1980 och 2011. Uppsatsen skrivs i syfte att kritiskt kunna granska vad skolans och svenskämnets konstruktion är ett uttryck för, vad dess samhälleliga funktion har varit och är idag. För att synliggöra detta görs en studie där svenskämnet ställs i relation till de samtida och historiskt föregående ekonomiska o
Vårt examensarbete har handlat om att uppleva byggandet. Vi har helt själva, med enstaka hjälp av vänner och familj, och med begränsade ekonomiska medel, uppfört ett 20 kvm stort hus intill Arkitektskolan i Lund. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur är det att vara arkitekt och byggare samtidigt, och vad är speciellt med ett arkitektbyggt hus? Motiveringen till frågan är att utbildningen saknar Our master thesis project is about experiencing the act of building. We have all by ourselves, with occasional help from friends and family, and with limited economic resources, built a 20 m2 building besides Lund’s Architecture School. Our question formulation is: How is it to be the architect and the builder at the same time, and what is so special with a building built by an architect? We just
