Robust stability of linear systems in presence of bounded uncertain time-varying time delays is studied. The time delay robustness problem is treated in the Integral Quadratic Constraint framework. The stability criterion is formulated as a frequency dependent linear matrix inequality, or equivalently as a Semi-Definite Program (SPD). Therefore, the criterion can be checked efficiently by using va
Category housing is an example of forms of housing that belong to the organized work of providing residences for persons who for diverse reasons cannot obtain them on the ordinary housing market. In the organizing of the practical social work that is carried out for this purpose, categorization serves as an important tool for connecting the available housing alternatives with the individuals who s
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jet impingement och infraröd strålning är metoder för snabb värmeöverföring som kan användas för att snabba upp värmeprocesser i livsmedelsindustrin. Värmningshastigheten påverkar viktiga egenskaper hos livsmedlet, t.ex. brunfärgning. Jet impingement består av riktade strålar av luft med hög hastighet som träffar ytan på livsmedlet och minskar gränsskiktet mellan luftenRapid heat transfer methods such as jet impingement and infrared radiation can be used to speed up thermal processing in the food industry. The heating rate affects important food characteristics, such as colour. Jet impingement consists of directed jets of air with a high velocity that impinge on the food surface, which reduces the velocity boundary layer between the air and surface and gives a f
This dissertation deals with reactive components in electric circuits, both as targets for a theoretical circuit analysis, and as devices implemented in silicon processes like CMOS. The frequency behavior of a general electric network is determined by the reactances (i.e., inductances and capacitances) present in the network, either as intentional parts of the design, or as process and implementa
The secondary clarifier or settler is crucial for the whole activated sludge operation. Consequently, it is important to obtain a reliable analytical model as well as a useful numerical method, which can be used in the automatic control of the settling process. Discontinuities (shocks) appear physically, and an analytical description as well as a stable numerical algorithm must be able to handle t
Background & Aims: Assess the prevalence of peri-transplant heart failure and its potential relation to post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 234 consecutive cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation in a single European center from 1999 to 2007 (mean age 52, 30% women, 36% with alcoholic liver disease, 24% with viral hepatitis, 18%
Uppsatsen redogör för vilka sakrättsliga regleringar som blir verksamma och kan skydda en förvärvare eller panthavare mot överlåtaren och pantsättarens borgenärer när aktier i kupongbolag överlåts eller pantsätts men för vilka aktiebrev inte utgivits. Transaktioner med aktier i onoterade aktiebolag, vilka i de flesta fall utgörs av kupongbolag, blir allt vanligare och desto mer säll-synt är förekoThe paper describes the rules of property law that become effective and can protect an acquirer and pledgee against the transferor or pledger's creditors when shares in coupon companies are transferred or pledged but for which share certificates have not been issued. Transactions in shares of Swedish unlisted limited liability companies, which in most cases are coupon compa-nies, are becoming
Under senmedeltiden och den tidigmoderna tiden ökade den internationella sjöhandeln kraftigt och successivt skedde en förändring i det merkantila handelsbruket: I takt med att resorna blev längre och mer tidskrävande upphörde lastägarna att tillsammans med sitt gods resa med på transportfartygen. Lastägarnas uteblivna närvaro ersattes med enkla transportdokument, ofta benämnda som ”konossement”. K
Arbetstagarskyddet vid verksamhetsöverlåtelser regleras inom Europeiska unionen (EU) av Rådets direktiv 2001/23/EG av den 12 mars 2001 om till-närmning av medlemsstaternas lagstiftning om skydd för arbetstagares rättig-heter vid överlåtelse av företag, verksamheter eller delar av företag eller verk-samheter (överlåtelsedirektivet). I svensk rätt har reglerna implementerats ge-nom ändringar i lag (The protection of employees in the case of business transfers is regulated within the European Union (EU) by Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of the transfer of under-takings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses (Transfer of Un-dertakings directive).

Denna uppsats undersöker hur formatet i en televiserad slutdebatt påverkar bilden av politik. Uppsatsen diskuterar moderatorns roll och på vilket sätt partiledarna har möjlighet att styra och sätta sin politik på dagordningen. Uppsatsen behandlar även hur partiledarna använder ethos, pathos och logos i sin argumentation får att stärka sin egen och partiets trovärdighet för att sätta sin politik på
PURPOSE: To evaluate the general contextual effect (GCE) of the hospital department on one-year mortality in Swedish and Danish patients with heart failure (HF) by applying a multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity.METHODS: Using the Swedish patient register, we obtained data on 36,943 patients who were 45-80 years old and admitted for HF to the hospital between 2007 and 2009. From the Dan
Proton-assisted recoupling (PAR) is examined by exploring optimal experimental conditions and magnetization transfer rates in a variety of biologically relevant nuclear spin-systems, including simple amino acids, model peptides, and two proteins-nanocrystalline protein G (GB1), and importantly amyloid beta 1-42 (M0Aβ1-42) fibrils. A selective PAR protocol, SUBPAR (setting up better proton assisted
OBJECTIVES: Acute aortic dissection type A is a life-threatening condition, warranting immediate surgery. Presentation with sudden chest pain confers a risk of misdiagnosis as acute coronary syndrome resulting in subsequent potent antiplatelet treatment. We investigated the impact of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on bleeding and mortality using the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Diss
In the current work, in order to model a free electron solvated in water, we have implemented a method to represent the molecular charge distribution as a set of Slater-type functions within the framework of a QM/MM method called QMSTAT. Also, it has been introduced in this method a new approach to calculate the intermolecular induction energy in the presence of very strong electric fields. Unlike
A multicentre study was performed at four oncology centres in Sweden, in 160 chemotherapy-naive women, primarily with ovarian or endometrial carcinomas. Abdominal surgery preceded chemotherapy in 146 (91%) women, and another 39 (24%) women had a history of radiotherapy. The chemotherapy regimens contained cisplatin (50-100 mg/m2), in combination with a variety of other agents. In Course 1, all pat
The aim of this report book in Sociology of Law, and Child Rights Institute, LundUniversity, is to sum up and report, in a summarizing overview in the Introduction our main experiences of Children´s Rights in Education during 18 years in the Global South as researchers and teachers.
A search for neutral Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and for a heavneutral Z′ boson is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb- 1 from proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The heavy resonance is assumed to decay to a τ+τ- pair with at least one τ lepton decaying to final states wit
BACKGROUND: The Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert-Ultra) assay provides timely results with good sensitivity and acceptable specificity with stool specimens in children for bacteriological confirmation of tuberculosis (TB). This study aims to optimize the Simple One-Step (SOS) stool processing method for testing stool specimens using the Xpert-Ultra in children and adults in selected health facilities in
