This paper concerns the unifying framework to strictly contractive extension problems, which is usually referred to as the band method. The solution to the so-called strictly contractive extension problem in this abstract framework, when applied to a certain concrete case, yields a complete characterization of solutions to the sub-optimal Nehari problem. The sub-optimal Hankel norm approximation p
We describe the implementation of a FrameNet-based semantic role labeling system for Swedish text. To train the system, we used a semantically annotated corpus that was produced by projection across parallel corpora. As part of the system, we developed two frame element bracketing algorithms that are suitable when no robust constituent parsers are available. Apart from being the first such system
The study of psychosocial is highly relevant for project-based sector like construction owing to the following justifications: mobility of workers, constant change of workplace, diversity of work performed, physically demanding, high health and safety risk, meeting deadlines, monetary constraints and male-dominated industry. All these factors contribute to the industry having unique and different
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 xi the value of a dependent variable is estimated ŷi. The ŷi is the fitted value from a dth degree polynomial in xi
This paper reviews the current literature regarding iron oxide formation in the wheel-rail contact in order to assess the possible role of iron oxides in the “Wet-Rail” phenomenon, which causes low adhesion between the wheel and the rail. The paper discusses the structure and formation of oxides from a chemical perspective before analysing the direct tribological effects and outlining the techniqu
This paper describes an 8-Bit, 100-MHz current steering CMOS low glitch interpolation digital to analog converter (DAC). It includes a 16-tap voltage controlled delay line and 8-Bit based linear interpolators, making the effective clock rate up to 1.6-GHz. With the linear interpolation, the requirement on the analog reconstruction filter is relaxed, and low glitch digital to analog conversion is a
A 2.4-GHz CMOS VCO is presented employing pMOS transistors as voltage-controlled capacitances and on-chip hollow spiral inductors. The design was implemented in a standard digital 0.8 μm CMOS process and exhibits a 15% tuning range at 2.5 V supply voltage and 9 mA supply current. Phase-noise measurements show a phase-noise of about -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz from the carrier
Introduction of exogenous genetic material into primary stem cells is essential for studying biological function and for clinical applications. Traditional delivery methods for nucleic acids, such as electroporation, have advanced the field, but have negative effects on stem cell function and viability. We introduce nanostraw-assisted transfection as an alternative method for RNA delivery to human
Insomnia and sleep apnea represent the most prevalent sleep disorders worldwide. Incidences are discouraging, with perhaps less attention in some parts, and the complexity in the pathophysiologies of the two diseases pose a major challenge to clinicians and researchers. Mainstream therapeutic regimens are afflicted by adverse side effects, laborious, demanding enormous amounts of money, and are in
I have briefly outlined different levels of scale in the discussion of centre–periphery, from a local to a more global perspective. I have tried to show that the concepts of centre and periphery cannot be applied without qualification. Different realities are concealed behind them. The common factor is nevertheless that they signal some kind of contacts, in the form of giving and taking, of power,
This thesis analyzes how Denmark and Sweden frame and respond to men’s violence against women in national action plans from 2020–2025. The study is significant because Denmark and Sweden are internationally recognized as highly gender-equal societies while simultaneously experiencing persistent levels of gender-based violence, a phenomenon known as the Nordic Paradox. Using Feminist Security Studi
