A voltage controlled galvanic simulator has been constructed for experiments on human balance. The aim is to gain knowledge about the human body's balancing behaviour and implementation for diagnostic purposes. The purpose is to stimulate the vestibular nerve in the inner ear, with a defined stimulus, measuring the resulting body sway, analysing the input and output signals with mathematical m

This report investigates the possibility of simulating the cruising of a missile by using the program Matlab and SimuLink. Matlab is a mathematical package with a number of application areas, for instance statistics, signalling and control theory. SimuLink is an easy to-use program package for building models and for simulation of both linear and non-linear technical control systems. The report d

The work is concerned with analysis of a method for robust adaptive regulation without persistent excitation presented by R. Lozano-Leal. The method is based on a least square identification algorithm with a dead zone. The dead zone is calculated from the covariance matrix and from the convergence of the parameter estimation. A convergence proof gives explicit bounds on the plant output. This wor

This Master Thesis contains a study of the design of a simple regulator for small water power units.

A real-time kernel in Pascal for a Motorola MC 68000 mikroprocessor has been implemented to be used on ASEA's DS101 microcomputer system. An arbitrary number of processes can be executing concurrently. The following primitives for process synchronization are available. 1. Priority, 2. Semaphores, 3. Message passing, 4. Monitors, 5. Waittime, 6. Vectoried interrupt. The processes are realized a

When controlling the drum water level of marine boilers the rolling of the ship may cause problems. The drum water level gets a sinusoidal disturbance, which causes a disturbance of the feed water control valve. This disturbance may proceed through the feed water pump to other steam consumers. The rolling inflates other boiler parameters too. It will be shown that stability problems may appear if

In 2011, a new EU Directive for Alternative Investment Fund Managers came into force. Following the financial crisis in 2008, it had been evident that Alternative Investment Fund Managers had been exposed to severe risks without sufficient regulation. While the Directive has taken some time for Member States to implement through national legislations, it can be considered to have been largely suc

Unga lagöverträdare har sedan lång tid tillbaka innehaft en särställning i det svenska påföljdssystemet. Den som begår brott innan tjugoett års ålder behandlas idag annorlunda än den vuxne lagöverträdaren. Bland annat får den unge lagöverträdaren sitt straff reducerat genom den så kallade ungdomsrabatten, åtnjuter särskilt skydd mot frihetsberövande påföljder och kan dömas till särskilda påföljderJuvenile delinquents have had a special position in the Swedish penal system for a long time. Today, a person committing a crime before the age of twenty-one will be treated differently than an adult offender. Inter alia, the juvenile delinquent gets a reduced sanction because of the “juvenile discount”, benefits a higher threshold for being sentenced to custodial sanctions, and can be sentenced t

Tvistebenägenheten rörande ABK 09 har de senaste 15 åren ökat. Rättspraxis på området är begränsat men med den ökade tvistebenägenheten så kommer ABK 09 bli än viktigare att behärska. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och bringa klarhet till ABK 09 kap. 8 § 1. Bestämmelsen reglerar beställarens hävningsrätt. Uppsatsen fokuserar på meningen i paragrafens andra stycke konsulten har rätt tilThe tendency to litigate regarding ABK 09 has increased over the past 15 years. Case law in the area is limited but with increased litigations the ABK 09 will be more important to master. The purpose of this study is to examine and clarify ABK 09 chapter 8 article 1. The provision regulate the clients right to cancel the contract. The main focus of this study is in the sentence of the second para

En studie över hur naturens samhällsviktiga ”tjänster” kommuniceras i Riksbyggens byggprocess Framför dig har du en sammanfattande text. Den ämnar ge en övergripande bild av en studie vars innehåll belyser hur de, för människans välstånd, så viktiga ”tjänster” som naturens ekosystem förser våra samhällen med, kommuniceras genom ett byggföretags process för bostadsproduktion. Dessa tjänsters brukaThe purpose of this master´s thesis was to evaluate how the data, generated through Riksbyggens´s tool for analyzing ecosystem services in housing projects, is communicated and used through the stages of Riksbyggen´s housing development process. Furthermore, the purpose was to use this information to suggest how Riksbyggen can improve the communication related to the inclusion of ecosystem service

I detta examensarbete åtar jag mig uppgiften att analysera bevisteori gällande svensk straffprocessrätt utifrån ett kunskaps- och vetenskapsteoretiskt perspektiv. Härvid försöker jag först besvara frågan om vilka idéer eller föreställningar om kunskap som kommer till uttryck i bevisteorin. Jag gör dock inte anspråk på någon uttömmande uppräkning av dessa, utan vill snarare ge en översikt över ett In this graduate thesis I set out to analyze Swedish evidence theory (as it pertains to procedural law in criminal cases) using epistemology and philosophy of science. In doing so, I have attempted to answer question of which ideas or concepts, borrowed from these two disciplines, can be found in Swedish evidence theory, whether explicit or implicit. On this account, it has not been my aim to give
