The phase center is defined as the point on an antenna from which the far field radiation seems to originate. Phase center calculations are often uncertain and vague, and very little concrete information is available on the subject. Recently, a replacement parameter called the radiation center was introduced in [5]. The radiation center is more rigorously defined than the phase center and possesses a

This project aims to design a wearable phototherapy for neonatal jaundice medical care. Beginning with ergonomics research, the design also focus on mechanical structure and material to enhance medical efficiency, to achieve affordable cost, and to provide users with easy operation and safe characteristics. It will enable parents to give jaundice babies phototherapy at home and release tense hos

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kartering av makrofyter, framtagandet av en klassificeringsmetod för att kunna beräkna ekologisk status för Ålands skärgård och skapandet av miljöövervakningsprogram Europeiska unionen har i sitt miljöarbete bestämt att varje medlemsland ska upprätta övervakningsprogram och klassificeringsmetoder för att övervaka miljöns ekologiska status. Varje medlemsland anAbstract This mater project was conducted in Åland by assignment by the Government of Åland Islands. The project consisted of two parts, one survey of macrophytes and classification of the ecological status and a proposal on a marine monitoring program. The survey of macrophytes was conducted in the late summer of 2012, by SCUBA divers along 50 meters long transect at twelve sites in the Åland ar

This study aims to show how young women feel about their abilities to reach their work-related goals and how their social behavior, specifically self-presentation, affects the outcome. By using a qualitative method, analyzes of the interviews can be made to get a deeper knowledge about the subject. The result of this study showed that all of the women had set high work-related goals for themselves

In our everyday life we live distant from the origin of life itself - nature. Dramatic landscape and fascinating views touch us in a way that few other things manage to do. It is something that make us recognize our powerlessness and the feeling of awe towards the nature. Experiencing striking nature is a way to create a deeper understanding of our own world and at the same time enrich our lives w

There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search

This Master's thesis in Library and Information Science aims to explore if personal patterns can be detected in web-searching. It is based on a study where the search sessions of nine test persons were video-recorded, transcribed into logs and analysed. A major objective was to find out whether there is a correlation between individual searchers' personal attributes and their web search b

The current curriculum requires a well functioning school library and an active use of it. In junior school grades 1-3 the children primarily learn basic skills. Knowledge about libraries and how to use them and different media is part of these skills. Therefore my intention was to investigate how school libraries in junior schools look, how they are used in the training and how they could be used

Problem: Scania Commercial Vehicles (Scania CV) initiated the project, as a result of a vision regarding future preventive maintenance (PM) programmes. This vision and its core concepts will impose great changes to the way PM for heavy trucks are viewed upon at Scania CV. Within this vision many questions have risen, one of which is: How does one measure the performance of a preventive maintenance

Projects in the space domain are extremely complex and often characterized as being “one-off”, which makes it very difficult to make good predictions on future developments. Furthermore, space projects are also associated with state-of-the-art technology, high costs and long development time. Risks are therefore a threat to project success because they may have negative effects on the project cost

The purpose of the thesis was to design an object storage solution that fitted the modern needs of an urban bicyclist. The project was focused on analyzing today’s needs and whether or not these needs were being met by the current object storage solutions. A presumption was made that present day object storage solutions had stagnated in a small number of solutions that were not necessarily fitted

The Chernobyl catastrophe is still referred to as the biggest radioactivity fallout problem in the history of the world. The cloud that was released from the broken reactor travelled across larger parts of the European continent and the after-effects of the radiation are said to be felt and faced throughout the impacted regions up to this day – and that this process is far from over. This thesis

This thesis examines the extent to which lobbyists bring democratic value to the policy-formulation and decision-making stages of the EU policy process. It is examined through a single case study of the amendment of Directive 2001/83/EC. By adopting an actor-centered institutionalism perspective and through theoretical discussion on Robert Keohane, Fritz Scharpf and Pieter Bouwen, this thesis bui

The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit. The value of the pebble isolation mass is crucial in determining the final planet mass. If the isolation mass is very low, gas accretion is protracted and the

More than 2,5 million people have been displaced from their homes and over 200.000 people have been killed since the conflict in Darfur, a western providence of Sudan, escalated in 2003. The international community has again failed to prevent a humanitarian crisis and protect the civilians even though strong evidence of ethnic cleansing and genocide performed by the government in Sudan and its Ara

Ladyfest Sweden is a cultural festival which aims to create a cultural space of expression for women, thus the artists and the organizers are women. It is organized by three different groups in three different cities: Malmö, Stockholm and Göteborg. This thesis is focused on Ladyfest Malmö, all the field work being realized with this group. We tried to include this phenomenon in a global and a part

The main aim of the thesis is, first, to present a theoretical and methodological perspective for the study of postmodern theory in historiography; second, to discuss and evaluate earlier research on the subject; and third, to show that historians must be more self-reflexive about their explicit as well as implicit theoretical and philosphical premises. My theoretical and methodological inspiratio

The International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda symbolise the commitment of the international community to put an end to impunity and to reintroduce justice and due process where it has long been denied. With the addition of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International Criminal Court international criminal justice has developed into a permanent feature of
