Los Angeles Islands är ett konstnärligt forskningsprojekt om arkitektonisk amerikanitet i en svensk region.Los Angeles läggs som ett raster över Malmö. Los Angeles och USA:s västkust har utvecklats till en superprojicering av övriga världens föreställningar om den amerikanska kontinenten.

In ubiquitous computing, end-user composition allows users to combine multiple single-purpose devices into new, interesting constellations. In PalCom – a ubiquitous middleware – this is achieved without the need to write program code. In this paper we present a solution that in the same way allows users to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for such systems without coding. The approach is to

Aerosol particles affect Earth’s climate system by scattering and absorbing light. The perturbation of the climate system caused by a change in aerosol configuration due to anthropogenic emissions has recently improved. However, the radiation balance and hydrological cycle of Earth are also highly influenced by clouds: a small change in cloud configuration can have a large effect on the climate. C

Reliable connectivity between vehicles is a requirement for efficient overtaking warning systems. We investigate the 6 GHz propagation channel between oncoming vehicles with five different types of large obstructing vehicles in a poor scattering environment. The presented channel gains emphasize the advantages of different antenna positions and the difference between a straight road and curved roa

This work presents an analysis of the physical properties of sub-micrometer aerosol particles measured at the high Arctic site Villum Research Station, Station Nord (VRS), northeast Greenland, between July 2010 and February 2013. The study focuses on particle number concentrations, particle number size distributions and the occurrence of new particle formation (NPF) events and their seasonality in

Although particulate organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC) are important constituents of the suspended atmospheric particulate matter (PM), measurements of OC and EC are much less common and more uncertain than measurements of e.g. the ionic components of PM. In the framework of atmospheric research infrastructures supported by the European Union, actions have been undertaken to determine and m

One of the basic aspects of Massive MIMO (MaMi) that is in the focus of current investigations is its potential of using low-cost and energy-efficient hardware. It is often claimed that MaMi will allow for using analog-to-digital converters(ADCs) with very low resolutions and that this will result in overall improvement of energy efficiency. In this contribution, we perform a parametric energy eff

On average, airborne aerosol particles cool the Earth's surface directly by absorbing and scattering sunlight and indirectly by influencing cloud reflectivity, life time, thickness or extent. Here we show that over the central Arctic Ocean, where there is frequently a lack of aerosol particles upon which clouds may form, a small increase in aerosol loading may enhance cloudiness thereby likely cau

Background: Individuals with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, are characterized by specific medical, cognitive, and behavioral phenotypes and often have high anxiety levels as well as phobia. Studies of the psychiatric phenotype in adults affected by Williams syndrome or literature on the management of their mental pathologies are lacking. Method: In this article, we report the neuropsy

The climate in the Arctic is changing faster than anywhere else on earth. Poorly understood feedback processes relating to Arctic clouds and aerosol-cloud interactions contribute to a poor understanding of the present changes in the Arctic climate system, and also to a large spread in projections of future climate in the Arctic. The problem is exacerbated by the paucity of research-quality observa

Shibanqiao Reservoir (0.24 km(2)) and Xiaohe Reservoir (0.28 km(2)) have catchments of 6.00 km(2) and 22.69 km(2), respectively. They essentially represent "strongly eroded" (Shibanqiao) and "mildly eroded" (Xiaohe) regions in Guizhou Plateau, southwestern China. Sediment cores were retrieved from the two reservoirs and soils were also sampled from their catchments. Mineral magnetic measurements w

Den rådande rättspolitiska debatten avseende omedelbarhetsprincipen och dess behov av reform har lett till ett flertal offentliga utredningar och propositioner. Dessa förslag har under uppsatsskrivandets gång resulterat i lagändringar medförande att tidiga förhör får åberopas som bevis i domstol. Syftet med denna framställning är att med avstamp i förarbetena till 1948 års rättegångsbalk göra en jThe current legal policy debate regarding the principle of immediacy and its needs for reform has led to several Swedish Government Official Reports and government bills. During the writing of this essay, these proposals have resulted in amendment of an act; early non-public hearings may now be plead as evidence in court. The purpose of this thesis is to make a comparison between corresponding arg

Cancerrehabilitering har under de senaste åren experimenterat med virtuella upplevelser. Hur mottas dessa och hur ska en utvecklare gå tillväga för att arbeta i en sådan här kontextModern cancer healthcare prevents deaths but living with the disease creates a need for mental healthcare. Virtual reality (VR) and its abilities to create and maintain convincing illusions has been used for several other purposes within therapy and healthcare. Would it be possible to engineer a virtual environment for therapy within a cancer context? This thesis follows the design process behind
