We find effective (homogenized) parameters for Maxwell's equations when the microscopic scale becomes small, but not infinitesimal, compared to the wavelength. The analysis is based on a singular value decomposition of the differential operator in Maxwell's equations

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gruppen ärftliga degenerativa näthinnesjukdomar är en viktig orsak till blindhet världen över. Man har uppskattat frekvensen till 1 på 3 - 4000 vilket motsvarar omkring 1½ miljoner människor i världen som helhet.

Embryonic day 15 rabbit retinas were transpl

A survey and analysis of the field of catalogues of imaginary libraries and of imaginary books, from ideal universal or selected collections (Gesner, Formey), over false catalogues of existing libraries (Rabelais) to sheer fantasies: lists of parodic and scurrilous titles or bibliophilic treasures (Fortsas).

Are they strictly reserved to the domain of Science Fiction, or can we also find them in more mundane contexts, like the business organization? These are som

Brenner hade tidigt blivit berömd för sin lärdom och sin diktning på fem språk, svenska, tyska, latin, franska och italienska. Redan samtiden (t. ex. Magnus Gabriel Block) lade märke till att hon alltmer favoriserade svenskan. I artikeln analyseras Brenners val av språk och hennes inställning och betydelse i tidens livliga språkpolitiska debatt.

The current work of developing a control simulation benchmark goes back to the work carried out within the COST Action 682 (“Integrated Wastewater Management”) and the IAWQ Task Group on Respirometry-Based control of the Activated Sludge Process in the late 90s. The work was continued in COST Action 624 until 2003 (Copp 2002). In 2005, the IWA Task Group on Benchmarking of Control Strategies for W
