The Nordic countries have often been seen as “fore-runners” of energy efficiency in buildings – in both the implementation of policy instruments and the evaluation of effects. Since the 1970s, the Nordic countries have introduced a range of policy instruments for energy conservation in buildings. The choice of instruments and experiences, however differs between countries. The aim of this study is

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper treats the hardware architecture andimplementation of mixed radix FFTs with cores of radix 3 andradix 5 in addition to the standard radix 2 core. The implementationflow graphs of the higher radix cores are presentedtogether with a description of how these cores afTect a pipelinedFFT implementation. It is shown that the mixed radix FFT ismore expensive than the ra

A reconfigurable digital root raised cosine (RRC) filter for a UMTS terrestrial radio access (UTRA) mobile terminal receiver is described and analysed. The filter monitors in-band and out-of-band received signal powers and calculates the appropriate filter length that meets the bit-energy to interference ratio (Eb/No). This design is advantageous, as only minimum battery power is used resulting in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mekanisk ventilation kan medföra "ventilationsinducerad lungskada" (VILI), som kan öka sjuklighet och dödlighet i samband med akut lungskada (ALI). Flera ventilationssätt har föreslagits för att undvika VILI, men inte slutgiltigt utvärderats. En princip är att öka alveolär ventilation och CO2-elimination genom att minska ventilationen av de skadliga rummet, dead space. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) may contribute to morbidity and mortality of acute lung injury (ALI). Lung protective ventilation (LPV), that reduces VILI, may involve low tidal volume (Vt). Particularly low Vt is possible if dead space ventilation is reduced e.g. by aspiration of dead space gas (ASPIDS). ASPIDS implies that gas rich in CO2 during expiration is aspirated through a separate c

Environmental aspects have during the last years made electric vehicles an interesting competitor to the present internal combustion engine driven vehicles. For a broad introduction of pure electric vehicles, a battery charging infrastructure is deemed necessary. However, to build and maintain such an infrastructure is costly. Active power line conditioning capabilities could be included in the ba

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kostfiber kallas de kolhydrater från växtriket som inte bryts ner under matsmältningen och därför når tjocktarmen i stort sett opåverkade. Kostfiber finns till exempel i våra fyra sädesslag, havre, råg, korn och vete, vilka alla är cerealier. Framför allt är det de yttre delarna av cerealiekärnorna, klidelen, som innehåller mycket kostfiber. I cerealier är de vanligasteIt is well known that dietary fibre is good for the health. Cereals, and in particular the outer parts of the cereal kernels, are rich in dietary fibre. Rye bran, wheat bran, oat bran and barley fibre have been investigated regarding their suitability as additives in low-fat meat products. Two types of meat products, frankfurter-type sausages and meatballs have been evaluated in this thesis. In th
