To find a controller that provides the maximal stability margin to an LTI system under rank-one perturbations is a quasiconvex problem. In the paper, the dual quasiconvex problem is obtained, using the convex duality arguments in the Hardy space H∞. It is shown that the dual problem can be viewed as minimization of a "length" of uncertainties that destabilize the system. Several examples establish
This study examined human listeners’ ability to classify domestic cat vocalisations (meows) recorded in two different contexts; during feeding time (food related meows) and while waiting to visit a veterinarian (vet related meows). A pitch analysis showed a tendency for food related meows to have rising F0 contours, while vet related meows tended to have more falling F0 contours. 30 listeners judg
Vault particles are conserved organelles implicated in multidrug resistance and intracellular transport. They contain three different proteins and non-coding vault RNAs (vRNAs). Here we show that human vRNAs produce several small RNAs (svRNAs) by mechanisms different from those in the canonical microRNA (miRNA) pathway. At least one of these svRNAs, svRNAb, associates with Argonaute proteins to gu
The research group from Humanities laboratory at Lund University, Sweden, presents three strands of research on language and cognition where eye-tracking methodology has been used as a window on the mind. The paper includes: (1) eye tracking studies on picture viewing and picture description showing the dynamics of how speakers perceive, conceptualize and spontaneously describe complex visual scen
Proton acceleration from the interaction of ultra-short laser pulses with thin foil targets at intensities greater than 10(18) W cm(-2) is discussed. An overview of the physical processes giving rise to the generation of protons with multi-MeV energies, in well defined beams with excellent spatial quality, is presented. Specifically, the discussion centres on the influence of laser pulse contrast
I Östkinesiska havet finns en avlägset belägen ögrupp bestående av fem öar och tre karga klippor. Ögruppen utgörs av en nödtorftig vegetation och det förefaller inte finnas något sötvatten. På grund av ögruppens ogästvänliga egenskaper har öarna genom historien ansetts vara av mycket litet ekonomiskt värde och de har sedan urminnes tider, bortsett från en kortare period i början av 1900-talet, varSituated in the East China Sea lays a remotely located island group consisting of five small islands and three barren rocks. The islands sustain scarce vegetation and there’s most likely no fresh water on the islands. Due to their inhospitable character, the islands have historically been considered to be of little economic value and they have since ancient times, apart from a short period during
Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att genom en enkätundersökning tillföra ett explicit kunskapsbidrag huruvida konsumenter bygger lojalitet till ett varumärke eller till en influencer och undersöka om det finns några skillnader i graden av lojalitet mellan generation X och generation Y. Författarna av denna kandidatuppsats har utifrån en objektivistisk ståndpunkt genomfört en kvantitativ studie The purpose of this candidate thesis is to provide an explicit knowledge of whether a consumer builds loyalty to a brand or an influencer and investigates whether there are any differences in the degree of loyalty between generation X and generation Y. The authors of this bachelor thesis have conducted a quantitative study with a deductive research based on an objectivist approach. The analysis an

The Nuremberg Charter introduced corporate criminal liability into international law and the great American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a promise that any legal person who commits crimes prescribed by international law shall be prosecuted and punished according to international criminal law. However, during this period of time, a corporation was never prosecuted per se as the sitt
The interest of religion in the academia of history and the history of ideas has held an unobtrusive and modest position during modernity. Often, religion and its influences, was regarded as something waning, something that was about to disappear. Instead science would become the foremost guiding light upon which most historians would focus their gaze. This essay aims to examine how article-author
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop an understanding of the way in which a brand is developed in a dyadic relationship with an external stakeholder. Theoretical: This thesis bases its theoretical framework on two main theoretical fields: Actor-Network Theory and dialectics. Methodology: The thesis is an explorative qualitative study espousing an interpretivist view of the social wo
Genom en djupgående studie av de rättsmedel som gjorts tillgängliga för sökande av internationellt skydd inom ramen för Dublinsystemet och det nya migrationshanteringssystemet, utforskas i denna studie omfattningen av rättsmedlet i en situation där en medlemsstat vägrar ta ansvar för prövningen av en ansökan om internationellt skydd. Det är uppenbart att en sökande kan överklaga ett beslut om att Through an in-depth study of the remedies available to applicants for international protection under the Dublin System and the new Proposed Migration Management System, this thesis explores the scope of the remedy in the situation where a Member State refuses to take responsibility for the examination of an application for international protection. It is evident that an applicant may challenge a d

However successful implementation remains challenging, and it lacks consensus on a common framework. Hence, firstly the study synthesises existing principles and frameworks into a comprehensive framework of principles for industrial policy for the 21st century. Secondly, it examines the align

As global supply chains become increasingly vulnerable due to geopolitical instability, rising protectionism, and sustainability pressures, the trend of reshoring has emerged as a strategic response among multinational enterprises (MNEs). This thesis explores the drivers behind the reshoring decisions of seven Swedish MNEs and examines the entry modes (EMs) through which these firms implement thei
Retrieving episodic memories often involves reconstructing both their semantic content and the emotional context in which they occurred. However, the neural mechanisms that differentiate these forms of reinstatement remain poorly understood. This event-related potential (ERP) study examines how semantic category and emotional valence are reinstated during memory retrieval.Seventy participants enco
