Sakuma dam on Tenryu River in Japan is one of the largest dams in Japan and it is
Control loops that are closed over a communication network get more and more common. A problem with such systems is that the transfer delays will be varying with different characteristics depending on the network hardware and software. The network delays are typically varying due to varying network load, scheduling policies in the network and the nodes, and due to network failures. Two network mod

Hur mycket som än skrivs om de svenska häxprocesserna verkar vi aldrig tröttna på att höra om dem, försöka förstå dem eller förfasas över dem. Denna uppsats behandlar en av de få, relativt outforskade, delarna i de svenska häxprocessernas historia: de processer som utspelade sig på Åland mellan åren 1666–1668. Processerna har till viss del fallit mellan forskningens stolar, då Åland inte längre tiNo matter how much is written about the Swedish witch trials we never seem to get tired of hearing of them, trying to understand them and be horrified by them.
