This is a novel, the third in a series, about a fictional character, Ulvbjörn Vamodsson, and his adventures in seventh-century Europe. The main event in the novel is the murder of Ulvbjörn's father-in-law during a visit to Lejre, a central place in Iron Age Denmark, which takes place in the prologue. Ulvbjörn's task is to find the murderer. From a literary point of view, the novel is an experiment

Blind channel equalization has gained great importance in the world of communications. Among a large number of available blind equalization algorithms, the CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) enjoys widespread popularity because of its LMS-like complexity and robustness. Two important improvements on the CMA performance are the Dithered Signed-Error CMA (DSE-CMA) and the Pre-Whitened CMA (PW-CMA). Th

In today s society, the foreground of deliberation-in politics, legislation, judicial decisions, even war is increasingly experienced by citizens as a mask for the working out of norms and institutions the precise nature of which eludes us. We are accustomed to looking behind every news item, often feeling that the real decisions are made by other people than those who seem to be in power, or that

We describe a new method for visualization of gas flows based on infrared absorption and gas-correlation techniques. This result is a gray-scale or false color-coded image showing the distribution of a specific gas in the area studied. A sequence of images showing the workplace test setup with a turbulent flowing gas is presented.

This paper presents the complexity analysis of a transmitter architecture for a faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) system. Complexity issues in terms of computations and memory requirements to achieve an FTN system are dealt with. An OFDM based multi-carrier system is considered as it is one of the most widely used in upcoming wireless standards. Retaining the modules within the OFDM transmitter helps in e

Family politics has been important in the development of the Swedish ‘women-friendly’ and weak breadwinner welfare state. This article analyses the development of Swedish family politics during the last century by taking as its point of departure the amalgamation of political ambitions, social reforms, and ideas put forward by experts in government commissions. Results suggest that the social scie

Boken handlar om Robin Hood - både den verkliga personen och den mytiska legendfiguren. Här skildras alla viktiga Robin Hood-ballader, -filmer och -historier, liksom den historiska bakgrunden till den sociala situation som avspeglas i historierna. Boken konfronterar alla väsentliga personer i historierna och diskuterar deras historicitet (sheriffen, Broder Tuck, Lille John, Jungfru Marian, med fle

I boken beskrivs ett jämställdhetsprojekt på en forskarutbildning vid universitetet i Lund. Tolv gästprofessorer – alla kvinnor – arbetade med doktorander i sociologi, socialantropologi, rättssociologi och medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. De diskuterade med doktoranderna om deras avhandlingsprojekt och om deras framtid. Här ges en bakgrund till varför projektet sattes igång. I boken beskriver ä
