In B tailbiting trellis encoder, the starting state of the encoder is set to the state at which the machine will be at the end of the encoded frame. By this means the probability of decoding error at the end of the frame can be kept low without the addition of termination bits and the consequent rate loss. We report on an extensive search for short and moderatelength convoluticinal encoders for ta
Carbon dioxide could replace nitrogen gas as stripping gas for the production of H2 by the extreme thermophile, Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus, provided that the pH is kept below 7.0. Above this pH, ≥77 mM sodium bicarbonate will be introduced as an extra salt burden to the culture. High concentrations of sugars and salts contribute each to the inhibition of growth and H2 production, which i
During the last decades, there has been continuous development of nationwide quality registries to assess healthcare and to do research in Sweden. An important background motive is the demographic transition resulting from an increasingly ageing population as one of the most important challenges of our time and a growing concern in many European countries and elsewhere. One condition for meeting t
Anisotropy in the lowermost few 100 km of mantle, or D" region, is indicative of deformation-induced alignment of crystals and/or inclusions of material, and as such offers insights into the dynamic nature of this region. Observations of shear-wave splitting in phases that transit this region provide constraints on such anisotropy. We investigate the effects of lower-mantle seismic anisotropy on S

Membrane emulsification is a gentle process that produces emulsions with a narrow drop size distribution, which increases the stability of the emulsion. The dispersed phase is forced through the pores in a membrane and drops are formed at the other side of the membrane where a continuous phase, flowing along the membrane surface, sweeps away the forming drops. The growth and detachment of drops is
Objective: To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of two retropulsion tests for identifying individuals with PD that will fall and/or experiencing near falls.Background: People with PD have an increased risk for falls and experiencing near falls. They are particularly unstable backwards, and different retropulsion tests exist. Item 30 of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)
The objective of the EMEEES project is to assist the European Commission in developing harmonised evaluation methods. It aims to design methods to evaluate the measures implemented to achieve the 9% energy savings target set out in the EU Directive (2006/32/EC) (ESD) on energy end-use efficiency and energy services. The assistance by the project and its partners is delivered through practical advi
Report on the deserted medieval chapel of Gussnava in Scania, Sweden. The report is part of a never fullfiled plan of publishing short building archaeological reports on all the medieval churches of the two counties Ljunits and Herrestad at Ystad in Scania as part. The investigation was conducted as a part of the research project "The Cultural Landscape during 6000 years in Southern Sweden", also
"Anonyma tentor är just nu en av de hetaste trenderna i högskole-Sverige" skrev Svenska Dagbladet i mars 2008 (http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/artikel_964731.svd ) Frågan har under några år drivits av studentkårerna, men verkar i de flesta fall ha införts av universitetens och högskolornas ledning utan diskussion och förankring i lärarkåren och utan analys av relationen mellan fördelar och nackd
