This work is an analysis of the implementation of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and more particularly the negotiation of the association agreements, which aim to improve the conditions for carrying out trade by exploring new areas of cooperation in investment, trade facilitation and the approximation of legislation. This study focuses on the association agreement contracted between the Europe
Communications where the location and environment limits the options is an issue for Samon AB. Some of their gasdetectors work in a marine environment where they are surrounded by steel walls. These steel walls act like a Faraday cage and make radio communication ineffective. Other gasdetectors are retrofitted in hotels when the demand for air-conditioning increases. With retrofitting comes the is
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur personer som tidigare erhållit socialbidrag beskriver orsakerna till att de inte längre behöver socialbidrag samt hur de upplevde kontakten med socialtjänsten. Målgruppen har varit hushåll som idag klarar sin försörjning utan det behovsprövade socialbidraget. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av 158 hushåll i Jönköpings kommun som under 1997 avslutat sin kontakt
Lactic acid exists as two optical isomers, D- and L-lactic acid. For the production of biodegradable poly-lactic acid an optically pure product is desirable, but a racemate of known and constant ratio can also be used. Lactic acid can be produced either synthetically or fermentatively. Fermentative production has some advantages: by choosing a lactic acid bacterium producing only one of the isomer
This thesis consists of four papers A, B, C and D. Paper A and B treats the simulation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The research presented therein was triggered by the fact that there were not any efficient implementations of the higher order methods for simulating SDEs. So in practice the higher order methods required at least the same amount of work as the Euler method to obtain
Disposable electrodes were fabricated by coating chromium (5 nm) and gold (200 nm) on glass strips (5.0 mm x 25.4 mm) and used in a label-free immunosensor. Human Serum albumin (HSA) and its antigen (anti-HSA) were used as a model system. Electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine was used for the immobilization of anti-HSA by covalent binding. A linear relationship was obtained in the range from
G.fast is a new standard from the International Telecommunication Union, which targets 1 Gb/s over short copper loops using frequencies up to 212 MHz. This new technology requires accurate parametric cable models for simulation, design, and performance evaluation tests. Some existing copper cable models were designed for the very high speed digital subscriber line spectra, i.e., frequencies up to
I denna studie analyseras muntliga etnicitetsgestaltningar hos olika aktörer i ungdomsvården. Undersökningen uppmärksammar etniciteten när den uttrycks verbalt och icke-verbalt, hur den uttrycks samt i vilka situationer kategoriseringar synliggörs implicit eller explicit. Studiens syfte är: att analysera när och hur etnicitet aktualiseras genom kategoriseringar i ungdomsvården, att uppmärksamma hThe aim of this study is to analyze when and how ethnicity is actualised through categorisations in Swedish youth-care, to attract attention to how these categorisations are indicated and point out how the narrators own ethnic identity is shaped and upheld through different markings. The report is based on 109 interviews conducted with different actors in the youth-care and my field-notes made in
An all digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) has been implemented in a 90-nm CMOS process. It uses a phase-frequency detector (PFD) connected to two time-to-digital converters (TDC). To save power the TDCs use delay line cells with uneven delay time. During frequency acquisition an automatic tuning bank controller selects active bank of the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), which features three s
Meteorological data and soil data have been collected at a site in the central Sudan from 2002 to 2012. The site is a sparse savanna in the semiarid region of Sudan. In addition to basic meteorological variables, soil properties (temperature, water content, and heat flux) and radiation (global radiation, net radiation, and photosynthetic active radiation) were measured. The dataset has a temporal
Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna avhandling presenterar ett grafiskt programmeringsspråk och dess användning vid styrning av satsvisa processer.Arbetet i avhandlingen kan delas upp i två delar:- utveckling av ett grafiskt programmeringspråk ämnat för implementering av styrsystem för sekventiella processer. Detta språk har fått namnet Grafchart.- uppvisa hur recept-baserad styrning av satsvisa procIn this thesis a graphical language for sequential control is presented and its application to batch control is examined and discussed. The name of the language is Grafchart. Its main feature is that it makes it possible to express complicated control problems in a compact and intuitive manner.Grafchart exists in two versions; a basic version and a high-level version. The basic version was availab
There is an increasing use of distributed computer systems to provide services in both traditional telephony as well as in the Internet. Two main technologies are Distributed Object Computing (DOC) and Web based services. One common DOC architecture investigated in this thesis is the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), specified by the Object Management Group. CORBA applications con
This study investigates the mechanisms of (de)coding modality, focusing on the interpretation of utterances containing the modals must, may, måste, and kan. The main research question posed in this study is what enables the interlocutors to interpret modal expressions so that communicative goals are achieved. To answer this general question, Coates's (1983) study on modal contexts is initially rep
A new, two-layer canopy module with thermal inertia as part of the detailed snow model SNOWPACK (version 3.2.1) is presented and evaluated. As a by-product of these new developments, an exhaustive description of the canopy module of the SNOWPACK model is provided, thereby filling a gap in the existing literature. In its current form, the two-layer canopy module is suited for evergreen needleleaf f
Rankings of countries on mean levels of self-reported Conscientiousness continue to puzzle researchers. Based on the hypothesis that cross-cultural differences in the tendency to prefer extreme response categories of ordinal rating scales over moderate categories can influence the comparability of self-reports, this study investigated possible effects of response style on the mean levels of self-r
The ER chaperone calreticulin plays vital roles in numerous cellular processes, including Ca2+-homeostasis, apoptosis, and cell adhesion, in animal cells. Although calreticulin has been systematically characterized in animal cells, the focus has been on one of the isoforms. However, recent advances in the plant calreticulin field have revealed functional divergence of calreticulin isoforms. While
