In the search for the fully aligned 27(-) state in Nd-140 predicted by cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, new close-to-spherical high-spin states have been discovered. Both the close-to-spherical and the triaxial calculated states are in good agreement with the experimental results, supporting the existence of shape coexistence up to very high spins. Shell-model calculations using a newly de
The BCJR algorithm is an important channel decoding method. We extend it to trellis rate-distortion data compression. Beginning from source coding principles, the derivation of the algorithm avoids channel coding or soft output ideas. The encoder does not use entropy coding; equiprobable reproducer letters are emphasized since these maximize entropy. The BCJR method is demonstrated by tests of a
This paper is concerned with question of how to assess results of networking which is an important element in movement towards sustainable development. Although based upon a large body of research, including empirical studies, the question of assessment of the networking results remains un-addressed, to a large extent. Based on an in-depth analysis of two Swedish tourism networks for sustainabilit
The isolated amyloid substance in hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is mainly composed of a cystatin C variant devoid of the 10 amino terminal amino acid residues of extracellular cystatin C from healthy individuals. We have developed a procedure for protein sequencing directly from agarose gel electropherograms and used this in conjunction with isoelectric focusing to investigate t
We present a blow-up criterion for the periodic Camassa-Holm equation. The condition obtained for blow-up uses two of the conservation laws associated with the equation and improves upon some recent results.
The classic Sherman-Lauricella integral equation and an integral equation due to Muskhelishvili for the interior stress problem are modified. The modified formulations differ from the classic ones in several respects: Both modifications are based on uniqueness conditions with clear physical interpretations and, more importantly, they do not require the arbitrary placement of a point inside the com
A flat plate and a tubular packed-bed photobioreactor with an algal-bacterial biofilm attached onto Poraver((R)) beads carriers, a flat plate and a tubular photobioreactor with the biofilm attached onto the reactor walls, and an algal-turf reactor were compared in terms of BOD removal efficiencies, elimination capacities, and stability. A control column photobioreactor with suspended algal-bacteri
A simulation model for embedding the bias of a transistor is presented. The model exploits the simulator equilibrium point calculation to set the bias point of the transistor. The model uses negative feedback to set the bias point according to what the designer desires. When the simulator goes into its main analyses, the negative feedback is broken and embedded bias sources are added. This way it
Popular Abstract in Swedish Exponeringsskattning för att hindra uppkomst av belastningsskador Skador på muskler som uppkommer av olämpliga arbetsrörelser och arbetsställningar (belastningsskador) utgör ett stort problem i alla industrialiserade länder. Definitionen av vad som innefattas i begreppet arbetsskada varierar mellan olika länder, varför det är svårt att göra jämförelser. Kostnader för arWork-related musculoskeletal disorders of shoulder/neck are a major and increasing problem. Beside the pain, they involve high cost for the employer and society. The total expenditure for the musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper limb have been estimated to 0.5-2.0% of the Gross National Product (GNP) in the Nordic countries. Due to the lack of precise knowledge of exposure/response rela
This thesis discusses the feasibility of a low emittance lattice proposed for the MAX-IV storage rings. The MAX-IV facility will have two storage rings that are identical but operated at two different energies, 1.5 GeV for soft X-ray and 3 GeV for hard X-ray production. The lattice is built to take advantage of the small gap insertion devices that imply small apertures in the magnet elements whic
Product design, packaging and logistics have a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chains. The packaging design is usually limited by the product characteristics hence influencing possible logistical solutions. A need has been recognized to consider packaging and logistical issues early in the product development process. Case studies involving companies from the Swedi
Reducing poverty and social exclusion is one of the main challenges for ensuring social cohesion in Europe. The research project COPE – Combating Poverty in Europe: Re-organising Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel Governance’ – analyses trends of poverty and social exclusion in Europe, and examines the dynamics of minimum income protection policies that poten
