Self-organizing Maps for Digital Pre-distortion

Power amplifiers are very important components in the area of wireless communications. However, they are non-linear devices and they seem to achieve high efficiency when they are operating in the non-linear regions, at the cost of being more power-consuming. In order to linearize their behavior, designers have been considering many methods. Among those, the digital pre-distortion tends to be the m

Planning Processes in Speaking, Texting, and Writing – The effect of reader’s and listener’s temporal and spatial presence on planning in language production

This thesis investigates planning processes in language production, more specifically in texting as compared to speaking and writing, through pauses analyses (Goldman Eisler, 1969; Matsuhashi, 1981). Texting is used to examine the role of the spatial and temporal presence of a listener/reader in language production. Texting offers an interesting context in this respect since it has spatial absence

Effects of thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide on Candida

Ett nytt alternativ till att behandla Candida I dagens samhälle finns det väldigt få mediciner tillgängliga för att bota svampinfektioner. Av de alternativ som finns, är många ineffektiva eller kopplade till bieffekter. Den vanligaste svampsorten som är ansvarig för svampinfektioner är Candida.
