We examine the spread of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms to Japanese legal education. We collected course syllabi from all newly established law schools in Japan. By examining the teaching ADR before and after the introduction of law schools in 2004, we test our prediction of massive isomorphism. We found that many of these law schools immediately responded to ambiguous recommendat

New development in material and production technology influences the design of electrical machines. This paper presents a theoretical calculation and experimental verification of a single-phase semi claw-pole machine, which core is made of Soft Magnetic Mouldable Composite – SM2C. In comparison with a conventional claw-pole configuration the semi-claw pole machine has a higher torque capability. T

The objective of this research is in general to develop analytic tools for the performance study of computer networks, and is in particular motivated by a need to understand how restricted buffer sharing policies can be used for congestion control in the nodes of a packet switching computer communication network. Models of a single packet switching node with finite storage and restricted buffer s

The particle size distribution in 11 different dwellings was studied during 5-7 days, samples being taken every 15 min. Large variation in the aerosol concentration has been found. Also the size distribution of the aerosol varies depending on the level of activity in the home, e.g. smoking and cooking. The average area median diameter found in the dwellings was 0.2 ,am. A technique for the measure

The present paper will place recent Swedish cinema against the background of the evolving public film policy and support – transnational, national and regional – during the last five decades although with a focus on the last few decades.. The purpose is an attempt to map how certain kinds of films, filmmakers and even locations appear to have been somewhat systematically endorsed or made possible

The article describes and analyzes how random time delays effect control loops that are closed over a communication network. Analysis as well as LQG-design are presented. The optimal controller is using timestamps to determine the timedelay between the sensor and the controller.

This conference paper discusses performing arts, queer performance and cultural specificity.

Reducing eutrophication in our surface waters caused by nutrient overload is of importance in order to ensure an environment in ecological balance for future generations. Municipal wastewater treatment plants are the main point source of nutrients emissions. Effluent water can be treated by introducing a final advanced treatment step to existing wastewater treatment plants. The present thesis conc
