Important factors affecting the risk of mold growth in well-insulated wood frame walls in Northern European climates

Due to increased awareness of climate change and energy costs, well-insulated buildings have become more common. Furthermore, greater interest has been shown in using wood in building to produce more carbon dioxide-efficient houses. However, thicker thermal insulation in walls increases the risk of high relative humidity levels and the risk of mold-related damage in wood frame houses. This paper

Promoting Professional Development Through Communities of Practice – an Example of Educational Development in Sweden

This chapter explores the idea of community of practice in relation to Swedish educational development. Two authentic cases illustrate how faculty developers work together as a CoP to promote change within universities. The two cases and their results are scrutinized in relation to key features of CoP, where one case arguably came out stronger as a CoP mainly in terms of identity building. The tex

Mean effective gain of user equipment antennas in double directional channels

The paper presents a revised definition of the mean effective gain (MEG) of terminal antennas. It now includes the gain pattern of both the transmitting (BS) and receiving (MS) antennas, the path gain matrix as well as the joint angular power distributions of the two orthogonal polarizations at both ends. A closed form equation is provided followed by the analysis of some special cases and their p

Public Reading and Aural Intensity : An Analysis of the Soundscape in John 1–4

What sets could not be

Sets are often taken to be collections, or at least akin to them. In contrast, this paper argues that. although we cannot be sure what sets are (and the question, perhaps, does not even make sense), what we can be entirely sure of is that they are not collections of any kind. The central argument will be that being an element of a set and being a member in a collection are governed by quite differ
