A closely-packed ultrawideband (UWB) multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO)/diversity antenna (of two elements) with a size of 25 mm by 40 mm is proposed for USB dongle applications. Wideband isolation can be achieved through the different patterns and polarizations of the two antenna elements. Moreover, the slot that is formed between the monopole and the ground plane of the half slot antenna is

Due to the lack of a commonly required education amongst street-level bureaucrats in supported housing, the focus of this study was to analyse how the street-level bureaucrats in supported housing experienced their work and education. We were also interested in how they felt their knowledge and skills were utilized in their organizations. In the last decade, the number of supported housing efforts

Ericsson India is looking into the possibility to enter a new business in the country. The business is a “telecom site leasing” service which would be included in Ericsson’s service portfolio. Services are an increasingly important part of the company’s total revenues. Demand for so called turn-key services, meaning full implementation and control over a customer’s network, is an example of a serv

A three second window has long been suggested by Pöppel (2009) and others, to guide the human perception. More recently,a three second constant has been suggested in overt human behaviour (Schleidt, 1988) as well as in mammalian species in general (Gerstner & Goldberg, 1994). It is however unclear whether this temporal window exists in other vertebrate species. This study examines the existenc

This thesis uses a discourse analytical approach based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to critically analyze long term migration policies. Hegemony and antagonism are used to show the development of the “Root cause discourse”. The discourse is based on the assumption that mainly illegal migration from underdeveloped sender states to more developed receiving states will in time diminish due to

Statliga utredningar tillskriver lärare fullt ansvar för elevutfall och de låga resultaten och satsar därför på att höja lärarkompetens. Eftersom läroplanen är ett statligt styrdokument är det befogat att anta att grundskolans läroplan Lgr11 är det dokument som bestämmer vilken lärarkompetens som behövs för att undervisa i grundskolan med de uppsatta målen och riktlinjerna. Syftet med det här arb

Aim: Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to analyse whether postoperative complications following radical resection for colorectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence rate and impaired survival. Method: Patients operated for colon cancer between 2007 and 2009 with curative intent were identified thr

INTRODUCTION: Current pharmacological treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have limited efficacy. Although the diagnosis is based on psychopathological criteria, it is frequently accompanied by somatic comorbidities and perhaps "accelerated biological aging," suggesting widespread physical concomitants. Such physiological comorbidities may affect core PTSD symptoms but are rarely th

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available for all lifeforms. Previous computational studies have given widely diverging results regarding the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. For example, some recent studies have suggested that one of the μ2-bridging sulfide ligands (S2B) may dissociate from one of the Fe ions when protonated in the doubly

PURPOSE: To develop a psychometrically robust electronic patient reported outcome measure (ePROM) for refractive surgery. SETTING: Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Questionnaire development study. METHODS: Items were derived in 6 domains (spectacle dependence, visual quality, eye comfort, functional freedom, emotional wellbeing, and satisfaction with treatment) from existin

Due to their potential environmental risk, the abatement of organic micropollutants from wastewater has gained increasing attention in recent years. This thesis evaluates the use of ozone in Swedish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the incentives for full-scale implementation of organic micropollutant removal.This work is divided into two sections: the first segment comprises quantitative r
