In the RUNES project a disaster relief tunnel scenario is being developed in which mobile robots are used to restore the radio network connectivity in a stationary sensor network. A component-based software development approach has been adopted. Two components are described in this paper. A localization component that uses ultrasound and dead reckoning to decide the robot positions and a collision
Fluorescence spectroscopy in two different biomedical applications have been studied. One field has been to explore whether fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to determine the depth of a fluorescent object inside a tissue-like medium. Recorded fluorescence spectra depend on the localisation of the fluorescent inclusion and may provide additional information for optical tomography. The second ma
Coordination is an important success factor for a development project. Communication gaps, e.g. between product owners shaping the requirements and testers verifying the developed software can result in wasted effort and unsuccessful products. We propose improving the communication between project members with recommendations of whom to interact with and what to discuss based on link prediction in
The high Q-factor (low bandwidth) and low efficiency make the design of small antennas challenging. Here, convex optimization is used to determine current distributions that give upper bounds on the antenna performance. Optimization formulations for maximal gain Q-factor quotient, minimal Q-factor for superdirectivity, and minimum Q for given far-field are presented. The effects of antennas embedd
This paper presents a new Hardware (HW) im- plementation proposal for Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) based channel estimators. The presented algorithm uses the high time correlation property of the channel estimates to reduce the complexity and the power consumption by utilizing a lower number of bits for the FFT in the channel estimator, compared to a traditional approach. The idea is that the
Socialization is an undertheorized concept representing a challenge to constructivist approaches to European integration. Although references to the capacity of international institutions to shape actor preferences are common, the processes through which actors are thought to be socialized are not yet specified within the field. Once resolved, this challenge will turn out to strengthen the constru
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avfall har alltid uppkommit i alla samhällen i alla tider. Det vanligaste sättet att hand om det har varit att samla avfallet i soptippar (deponier) på mark som ansetts obrukbar, t.ex. i sankmarker utanför bebyggelsen. I takt med ökad konsumtion och produktion har också mängderna avfall ökat. Anledningen till att avfall och avfallshantering kommit alltmer i fokus i miljA methodology based on an analytical protocol for evaluation of hazards from landfill leachate and solid waste is described. A dynamic analytical protocol, the LAQUA protocol, including measurements of inorganic and water-quality parameters, polar and non-polar organic marker compounds, and toxicity, was constructed. An acute toxicity test, using the brackish water crustacean Artemia salina as tes
In this paper a synchronized dual input-channel multi-mode Software Defined Radio receiver platform that we built originally is presented. The receiver platform compatible with the GSM, WCDMA, and Wi-Fi standards can detect and identify the surrounding base stations and access points. It features wide frequency range, high adaptive sampling rate and especially dual phase coherent receiving channel
