Everything we see in nature shows how the environment influences them from both inside and outside, for example, appearance and inner structure. As Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, specific behavioural and physical adaptations that are the outcome of natural selection. [1] The outer appearance is a visible reflection of how environment changed while the inner structure is the organism
The thesis focuses on designing and simulating an 8-bit high-speed fully differential pipelined Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in the 65nm Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology by using the software Cadence Virtuoso. The aim is to increase the operation speed of the ADC for communication systems without reducing the performance, in the meantime, the low power consumption and
3D city models are valuable tools for visualization and analytical purposes in the urban environment. A popular format for city models is CityGML, an open data model that can be used for storage and exchange of 3D city models. However, using city models based on CityGML has appeared to be a challenge as there is a limited number of software applications that are able to read them. Complexity in Ci
Användningen av smarta telefoner och områden i vilka smarta telefonlösningar erbjuds, har ökat drastiskt det senaste decenniet. Det område som däremot inte har varit lika benäget att anta detta tillvägagångssätt är restaurangbranschen. Målet med denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur villiga användare är att anpassa sig till detta tillvägagångssätt och beskriver de krav och önskemål av en sådaThe use of smart phones and the areas in which smart phone solutions are provided have increased immensely over the past decade. However, one area which has not been as keen of adopting the smart phone approach is the restaurant area. This study aims to investigate the amenability of users to adapt to this approach and outlines the requirements and desires of such a product. It also presents a sol
We present here a tribute to Per Halldal (February 2, 1922-March 26, 1986), a leader, an instrumentalist, an expert on phototaxis in algae, and one whom we remember, even after 20 years of his death, as a person who spread joy, enthusiasm and knowledge wherever he went.
Aims: To describe environmental and personal tick-preventive measures and their predictors, taken by a population living in a highly tick-endemic area. Methods: Owing to the recent confirmation of human tick-borne encephalitis cases, vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis was offered to the population living in the endemic area through the use of leaflets and media campaigns. At the time of t
A Swedish family with two generations suffering from presenile dementia with an unusually severe Alzheimer encephalopathy was first reported in 1946. The hypothesis that the disease was inherited through a dominant gene is strongly supported by the follow-up 50years later of three additional generations and molecular genetic findings of a novel presenilin-1 gene mutation in the family. The pedigre
A compact six-figure approximation formula for the inductance of a cylindrical current sheet is presented. The formula displays the correct asymptotic behavior in the respective cases of very long and very short coils. The efficiency of the approximation formula is due to a thorough analysis of the exact formula.

Throughout the years Dynapac has with organic growth and acquisitions developed and expanded the business and are currently operating factories in India, China, Brazil, Germany and Sweden. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB in Sweden has
The long process of syncretization between Shinto and Buddhism has defined much of Japan's philosophical and theological history. This process was only interrupted with the Meiji Restoration, following which the Meiji government enforced an ideology of the two religions being completely separate as part of its State Shinto system. Countless temples and Buddhist treasures were lost in the proce
The drive of using more renewable material has increased the interest in timber bridges. This makes it more interesting in looking in to new ways of constructing timber bridges. Most timber bridges for road traffic are using an arch with a hanging deck suspended from the arch using vertical hangers. This master thesis has looked at the possibility of using a system (developed for steel arch bridge
The paper presents the theories of Peter Singer and Tom Regan concerning the moral status of animals and why both deem animals to have a moral standing similar to humans. The two theories differ in their approaches to justifying the moral standing of animals and humans but have very similar conclusions. The paper then goes on to show how both theories have potential problems in justifying that the
Alten AB has a technology demonstator in the form of a motorized and camera equipped large scale labyrinth game. The ball position is controlled by a ABB industrial PLC connected with Android tablets for user interface and a camera as a sensor for the ball position. This thesis demonstrates the ability to place a wide angle camera inside the cabinet, correcting the lens distortion caused by the wi
The purpose of this study was to critically interrogate gender in Swedish management education, with the objective of making it more gender equal. Following a multi-paradigmatic approach, shifting between interpretative and critical feminist knowledge interests, we developed a qualitative study simultaneously working with theory and empirical material. We got to our findings by analyzing business
Background: The literature reviewed in the context of this master’ programme frequently refers to the enormous and increasing flows of people in the global era (Dicken, 2007; Lechner, 2004; Yeates, 2008); consequently, these flows have different directions and motives and represent diverse types of migration and migrants. As a result, the pivotal point here is the specificity of scientific migrati
Combined linear-Viterbi equalizer (CLVE) is a term often used for a class of digital receivers reducing the complexity of the Viterbi detector by assuming an approximate channel model together with linear pre-equalization of the received data. The authors reconsider a weighted least squares design technique for CLVEs by introducing a minimax criterion for suppressing the strongest component of the
