Experiments relying on tomographic reconstruction of soot emission and absorption offer relatively simple and inexpensive ways to image both soot concentration and temperature in axisymmetric flames. Because the tomography problem is mathematically ill-posed, however, special measures have to be taken to ensure an accurate solution. This paper describes the application of one such measure, Tikhono
In this paper, we present a new topology to implement a passive 180° phase shifter using on-chip auto-transformer in an SOS process. The measured results indicate a phase variation of less than 2° over the frequency range of 1.8-2.4GHz. An insertion loss of 2.3dB was measured at 2.1GHz. The phase shifter has a small footprint of 0.3 × 0.7mm2, which is almost three times less than a traditional hig
Abstract There is a crisis discussed in the discipline of Information Systems. Those who perceive such a crisis to exist are by no means agreed, as to its nature and origins. Our inquiry shows that there are a three distinct “crises” being debated. The first of these relates to the Substance and boundaries of the discipline itself and if it is even a discipline at all. Another “crisis” relates to
The aerosols from 13 common electric arc welding processes have been characterized regarding total emission, particle size distribution, elemental composition and, when applicable, the oxidation state of chromium. The characterizations have been performed systematically for different combinations of welding current and welding voltage.
Let us have an NLFSR with the feedback function g(x) and an LFSR with the generating polynomial f(x). The function g(x) is a Boolean function on the state of the NLFSR and the LFSR, at any time instance t. Whenever the LFSR has good statistical properties, it is used for controlling the randomness of the NLFSR's state machine. In this paper we define and study the general class of "Grain" family o
This thesis is about how and in opposition to what punk is defined and lived out by punks in Sweden and Indonesia. Arguing against the previous research’s presumption that subcultural meaning constitutes a single set of meaning, this study points to two patterned sets of meanings, each constructed out of several different definitions of the mainstream as well as the subcultural authentic. Conseque
Abstract in Undetermined In media, policymaking and research, increasing attention is drawn to the phenomenon of ‘green political consumerism’, referring to consumerrelated practices that are based on concerns beyond the traditional criteria of product quality and price. Political consumerism is about expressing non-economic values, that is, values beyond the direct, economic self-interest of cons
Popular Abstract in Swedish En central fråga av både teoretisk och praktisk betydelse är varför vissa företag är mer framgångsrika - vilket ofta uttrycks som att de har större konkurrensfördelar - än andra. Speciellt uppkommer frågan då vissa fabriker inom samma företag år efter år uppvisar ett bättre ekonomiskt resultat än andra. Fokus i denna avhandling är att förstå varför så sker inom ett utvaThe most central question in the strategic management literature is why some firms are more successful than others, often expressed as an aim to understand sources of competitive advantage. In this thesis, an empirical observation is made that a number of manufacturing plants belonging to the same firm show sustainable differences in financial success, and the question is why. The main theoretical
The paper discusses the key enabling mechanisms introduced by Web 2.0 technologies that can support Product Service Systems (PSSs) development teams in increasing the quality of early design decisions. The paper collects success stories and lessons learned from two empirical case studies in the aeronautical supply chain, and from a set of questionnaires forwarded to major automotive manufacturers,
Piety and modernity is presented in Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany, and the Low Countries between 1780 and 1920. Emphasis is put on piety and politics, pious nationalism, pious enlightenment, piety and romanticism, Moravian and Evangelical inspiration, on communciations and mentalities, on gender aspects on pious language, assocatiational activities, minorities, as well as on the instrumen
This paper presents an energy relaxation-based approach for the modeling of single crystalline magnetic shape memor)) alloy response under general two-dimensional magnetomechanical loading. It relies on concepts of energy relaxation in the context of non-convex free energy landscapes whose wells define preferred states of straining and magnetization. The constrained theory of magnetoelasticity dev
We investigate whether the recently observed population of high-velocity white dwarfs can be derived from a population of binaries residing initially within the thin disc of the Galaxy. In particular, we consider binaries where the primary is sufficiently massive to explode as a Type II supernova. A large fraction of such binaries are broken up when the primary then explodes as a supernova, owing
A strategy for control of the glucose feed rate in cultivationsof E.coli is discussed. By making probing pulses in the feed rate it is possible to detect and avoid a characteristic saturation linked to undesirable by-product formation. A simplification of a previous algorithm is presented and analyzed.
This paper explores two different approaches to information processing and learning in societal safety efforts; stressing the specifics and aiming at the general. How the two approaches relate to higher-level efforts at societal safety is discussed, as well as the relationship between the two approaches and their consequences. As a background, the paper briefly explores the concept of generic capa
Dry stacked light weight concrete block masonry is increasingly used due to its superior productivity compared to standard block masonry. Low bending capacity parallel to the bed joints is however a major drawback. This paper presents the results of an experimental study which has been carried out to improve the bending capacity of dry stacked lightweight concrete block masonry. The effects of fol
Results of molecular phylogenetic analysis after nuclear (18S LSU, ITS1/ITS2), mitochondrial (12S and 23S SSU) and chloroplast DNA of lichen-forming fungi, symbiotic and terrestrial algae as well as microscopic filamentous fungi obtained for the first time in Ukraine are compared with recent data on morphology, anatomy and biochemical characters. Taxonomical treatment of several groups of lichen-f
