Several ligands based upon 2-substituted bicyclic[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diols (BODOLs) were synthesized and evaluated in two catalytic reactions: I) the Ti(IV)-mediated catecholborane asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones and II) as catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. The ligands were prepared by baker's yeast mono-reduction of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione,

The 2008–2009 global financial crisis triggered ‘Green Energy Economy’ (GEE) policy packages to stimulate green growth in many countries. China soon became a leader and, supported by its 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–2010), devoted approximately one-third of its US$ 647 billion stimulus package to green energy technologies. Since then, numerous policy instruments have been implemented to encourage ‘Gr

Advances in scheduling theory have given designers of control systems greater flexibility over their choice of timing requirements. This could lead to systems becoming more responsive and more maintainable. However, experience has shown that engineers find it difficult to exploit these advantages due to the difficulty in determining the “real” timing requirements of systems and therefore the techn

When adapting environments for the physically disabled, it is important to encourage and activate not only the person concerned, but also other people involved or affected. A computer aided planning tool has been developed to support the participation of all persons involved, as well as supporting the planner’s (e.g. an occupational therapist) design of the environment. The prototype development a

In this paper we prove threshold saturation for spatially coupled turbo codes (SC-TCs) and braided convolutional codes (BCCs) over the binary erasure channel. We introduce a compact graph representation for the ensembles of SC-TC and BCC codes which simplifies their description and the analysis of the message passing decoding. We demonstrate that by few assumptions in the ensembles of these codes,

Sammanfattning I projektet ”Modellering av spårbarhet och riskanalys för säker och hållbar livsmedelsproduktion” har arbetet varit inriktat på hur producenten kan arbeta på ett proaktivt sätt med sin tillverkningsprocess utifrån ett risk- och spårbarhetsperspektiv utifrån försörjningskedjeperspektiv. För att kunna fatta medvetenbeslut kring risk och möjlighetsnivåer för en given produktionslinje h

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under det senaste decenniet har utvecklingen i Sverige inneburit en ökad press på den kommunala sektorn vars roll och uppgifter i samhället har ifrågasatts. Ett återkommande ämne för debatt är betydelsen av politiskt inflytande i förhållande till behovet av effektiv produktion av offentlig service. I denna avhandling studeras vilka möjligheter en enskild kommunal försörThe aim of the study is to improve the understanding of strategy in politically governed organisations. From the perspective of a specific responsible authority the main purpose of the study is to describe and analyse how strategies emerge and develop. Competitive tendering and inter-municipal co-operation, has been studied as a two principally different strategic approaches to reduce costs and st

We consider a link serving multiple service classes. We evaluate the properties of the link admission control policies that are obtained from an efficient scheme proposed by Krishnan and Hubner (1997). The Krishnan and Hubner approach suggests efficient calculations of state-dependent routing criteria for multi-rate networks through state-space aggregation. Through simple examples we show that it

In recent years, the number of products that can be tailored to consumers' needs and desires has increased dramatically; there are many opportunities to individualize the colors, materials or options of products. However, current trends indicate that the future consumer will not be satisfied with mere material and color choices, but will desire control over form as well. While it is technically fe
