Outdoor positioning systems are commonly available and typically rely on satellite navigation. The same is not true for indoor positioning systems. Severe multipath, non line-of sight to satellites and moving objects are some of the aspects that make the task of indoor positioning tricky. In this paper, we analyse different tracking methods to estimate and track the delay evolution of a radio chan

Aim: To present the utilization of a highly interactive, internet-based, package for ophthalmological content. Summary of work: The clinical ophthalmology rotation in Malmö is a 6 weeks on-campus period integrated with ENT. Weekly interactive internet-based theory parts include, (1) a PBL scenario (pathophysiology and basic sciences), (2) a series of case presentations (management principles), (3)

A series of comparative studies is suggested, focused on perceptions of outrigger canoes, and aimed at an increased understanding of the relationship between social relations, biodiversity, and sustainable development in Oceanic societies on small islands and in coastal areas undergoing rapid cultural change. After a critique of the recent notion that canoe-building in Polynesia developed as a res

A strain-independent feeding strategy for fed-batch cultures of Escherichia coli is presented. The key idea is to exploit a characteristic change in the cell metabolism at the onset of acetate formation. By superimposing short pulses in the glucose feed rate, on-line detection of acetate formation can be made using a standard dissolved oxygen sensor. A simple feedback algorithm is then used to adj

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ju tidigare man kan upptäcka sjukdomskopplade förändringar i kroppen, desto större är chansen att bli frisk och överleva sjukdomen. Molekylär avbildning är ett nytt forskningsfält som vuxit fram de senaste årtiondena som svarar mot detta önskemål. Målet är att så tidigt som möjligt kunna avbilda de förändringar som ger upphov till sjukdomen, snarare än att som idag, avbThe earlier abnormalities coupled with disease can be discovered in the body, the larger is the chance to survive the disease. Molecular imaging is a growing research field which aims to detect these abnormalities at a molecular level, when the chance of survival is still high. The main idea of molecular imaging is to use target specific contrast agents that accumulate at the diseased region at a

Regional cerebral blood flow was measured in 35 patients with organic dementia (Alzheimer's disease, n = 13, vascular dementia, n = 17, frontotemporal dementia, n = 5) and orthostatic hypotension. Measurements were performed during supine rest and during head-up tilt (60 degrees). Despite marked blood pressure falls, few patients had symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. All three dementia groups h

As modern production moves towards higher efficiency and cost effectiveness, machining difficult-to-cut materials becomes an increasing challenge. Quickly and reliably characterizing the properties of materials could significantly improve the performance of machining processes in terms of their efficiency and production cost. This dissertation deals with the methodology for characterizing the micr

The MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility is currently being constructed in Lund, Sweden. It consists of a 3 GeV linac injector and 2 storage rings operated at 1.5 and 3 GeV respectively. The linac injector will also be used for the generation of short X-ray pulses. The three machines mentioned above are described with some emphasis on the effort to create a very small emittance in the 3 GeV ring.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Min avhandling handlar om flyttning, det vill säga hur levande organismer rör sig mellan olika områden för att utnyttja resurser, undvika födobrist och som en anpassning till klimat- och miljöfaktorer. Vi begränsar det hela till fåglar's flyttning och bland dem ska vi koncentrera os's på rovfåglar. Rovfåglar är beroende av sina bytesdjur, som till exempel kan vara andraMy dissertation is about bird migration and addresses questions about how raptors adapt to the fluctuating environments during the transition seasons between breeding and wintering. The migration is highly affected by local prey abundance, foraging strategies, weather conditions and landscape patterns along the migration routes as well as navigation and orientation mechanisms and cues.
