This work considers various techniques to extract information from the vast amount of data collected at a modern wastewater treatment plant. If the information extracted is to be considered reliable is highly dependent on the data screening. Data screening includes validation and quality improvement of data. Adequate methods for validation, noise reduction and other forms of quality improvements o

Fumigation was studied in a 12 L six-cylinder heavy-duty engine. Port-injected ethanol was ignited with a small amount of diesel injected into the cylinder. The setup left much freedom for influencing the combustion process, and the aim of this study was to find operation modes that result in a combustion resembling that of a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine with high efficien

Review essay about David Lodge's Consciousness and the Novel (Secker & Warburg)

Olle Adolphson (1934-2004) was a well-known Swedish songwriter, poet and singer who was also a composer and an artist. Many of Olle Adolphson´s songs are considered as classics in their genre. He made his debut 1956 with a collection of poetry and songs and the same year he also started his career as singer and song-writer. My aim in this study is to uncover and analyse the artistic complexity of

Many medical schools and faculties are actively promoting scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning to improve education. The Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, Sweden, has developed a Teaching Academy with criteria for membership founded in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Furthermore, the Faculty arranges a conference in medical education and also organises courses to support

In a pilot study, young people were to choose an avatar for use in an educational application. The avatars came in two different visual styles – a “naturalistic” versus. a “stylized” version. The result is discussed in a pedagogical context with respect to similarity in appearance between student and avatar.

Recent work in hydrocarbon reservoir monitoring has focused on developing coupled geomechanical/fluid-flow simulations to allow production-related geomechanical effects, such as compaction and subsidence, to be included in reservoir models. To predict realistic time-lapse seismic signatures, generation of appropriate elastic models from geomechanical output is required. These elastic models should

We propose a modified layered structure for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where the layer detection order is fixed and the data rate for each layer is allocated based on the detection order and channel statistics. With Gaussian approximation of layer capacities, we derive the optimum data rate allocation and the amount of backoff from mean layer capacity is proportional to the sta
