Construction projects affect the community in both positive and negative ways. Positive effects are, for instance, better communications, better housing, and a higher standard of living. However, construction projects inevitably bring with them deterioration and changes on the local plane, at the site of the construction project. Thus, in construction projects, many different and sometimes controv
This article offers a new perspective on the use of ritual and tradition in contemporary Sweden. Urbanization, immigration, cultural pluralism, the capitalist market system, changing conditions for women, the influence of mass media, and individualism are all characteristic of the social condition of modernity that have radically changed the context of ritual and transformed traditional patterns.
In this paper a systematic analysis that solves the wave propagation problem in a general bianisotropic, stratified media is presented. The method utilizes the concept of propagators, and the representation of these operators is simpli- fied by introducing the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. The propagators propagate the total tangential electric and magnetic fields in the slab and only outside the slab
With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill has become more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility provides the operator with auxiliary options to satisfy customer requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is fo
An antenna system is disclosed that includes two or more antennas and an impedance matching network. The antennas of the antenna system are closely separated, such as by a distance of no more than a wavelength of received signals divided by two. The impedance matching network is adapted to respond to and counteract performance degradation resulting from cross coupling between the antennas. Related
