Renewable energy sources (RES), especially wind turbines, have become more important during the last years. An increasing number of distributed generation (DG) units are connected to weak medium voltage distribution networks in rural areas where they have a large influence on the voltage and the line losses. Voltage rise is in this case often a limiting factor for the maximum amount of DG capacity

Many medical schools and faculties are actively promoting scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning to improve education. The Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, Sweden, has developed a Teaching Academy with criteria for membership founded in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Furthermore, the Faculty arranges a conference in medical education and also organises courses to support

In the conceptual design phase, solutions are reached through an iterative, high-paced and often chaotic manner. Conventional advanced structural analysis software is often too advanced and insufficiently agile to follow this high-paced work pattern. Premature use of advanced structural analysis tools can negatively affect conceptual understanding and the quality of the conceptual design. The mult

Students at higher technical educations e.g., bachelors and masters, are traditionally taught in software programming and factory automation. Students at higher economical and management schools are exposed to different strategies and their economical impacts. However, in many education programs, the larger perspective, of how to combine the technical and the economical aspects is not highlighted.

Cleveland (1979) is usually credited with the introduction of the locally weighted regression, Loess. The concept was further developed by Cleveland and Devlin (1988). The general idea is that for an arbitrary number of explanatory data points x_i the value of a dependent variable is estimated ŷ_i. The ŷ_i is the fitted value from a dth degree polynomial in x_i

Detta föredrag om en latinsk oration som hölls i Dorpat 1636 av en småländsk student är en uppdaterad och utvidgad version av en artikel som redovisats i årsbibliografin 1998. Artikeln vill rikta uppmärksamheten på orationerna som representativa exempel på vad som borde sägas. Genomgående är en harmonins mentalitet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med min avhandling har varit att visa på några viktiga drag som framträder vid en undersökning och en jämförelse av fyra etablerade poeter från 1970-talets diktargeneration i Grekland: Michalis Ganas, Maria Kirtzaki, Tzeni Mastoraki och Kostas Papageorgiou. Genom att deras litterära skapande satts i en tydlig relief mot relevanta politiska, historiska och samhällThe primary aim of the present study is to reveal the creative awakening of Michalis Ganas, Maria Kirtzaki, Tzeni Mastoraki and Kostas Papageorgiou, four poets of the Greek 1970s Generation. All four poets were born during the decade of the 1940s. The thesis approaches the poets entire authorship from their debut, end of 1960s beginning of 1970s, until the present day, to distinguish a number of c

The servo problem for a wide class of nonlinear system is considered.A quantitative bound on system trajectories is derived. For piecewise linearsystems the bound is shown to be computable in terms of linear matrixinequalities.
