A framework for operating procedure synthesis in batch processes was presented in part on of this paper. In this part, we present, iTOPS (intelligent tool for operating procedure synthesis), a knowledge based system for implementing the concepts outlined in the framework. iTOPS has been developed in Gensym's G2 expert system shell. The architecture of iTOPS, that consists of components that closel

Recently, the multiplexing efficiency metric is proposed for characterizing the MIMO performance of terminal antennas. Here, we show that it can also provide useful insights into the impact of user on MIMO terminal performance. In particular, the impact of user hand and head on the efficiency and correlation of a MIMO antenna can be conveniently quantified using the multiplexing efficiency metric.

I essän diskuteras den nutida svenska kulturoffentlighetens funktioner med utgångspunkt i mottagandet av Yahya Hassans debutdiktsamling samt Victoria Benedictssons författarskap. Hur en nutida offentlighet förändras jämförs med hur en kvinno-offentlighet skapades på 1880-talet.

I artikeln kommer brottsoffrens kränkningsersättning att analyseras ur ett rättssociologiskt perspektiv. Ersättningen kommer att relateras till den svenska kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen, till olika samhälls- och rättsvetenskapliga teorier och begrepp vilka kan vara användbara för en fördjupad förståelse av ersättningen utifrån skadeståndsrättsligt, viktimologiskt och kriminalpolitiskt perspektiv.

This review has examined research on handheld computing from a design science perspective. The review was underpinned by the assumption that handheld computing has specific features compared to stationary computing that ought to be managed in order to harness the possibilities of handheld computing. The purpose of this study was to identify areas of investigation in handheld computing from a desi

Flexibility is a desired quality of software processes. Process flexibility implies a capability to adapt to new contexts. Another aspect of flexibility is the cost of maintaining process effectiveness as new situations arise. A lack of preparedness for future events may constitute a high risk to a software development organization. This paper presents a method for assessing the flexibility of an

In order to develop new pharmaceuticals, to optimize pharmacotherapy and secure patient safety, documentation of the properties of pharmaceutical formulations is a most important process. A significant practical problem associated with pre-clinical evaluation of lipophilic substances with pharmacological properties is their low aqueous solubility. The overall aim of this thesis was to develop te

Stylistic Fronting (SF) is a process that fronts various types of non-subjects to the preverbal position in subjectless clauses (“that gone have”, etc.). With the exception of Icelandic and to some extent Faroese, SF has disappeared from Scandinavian varieties. It is commonly assumed that even in Icelandic it is formal and old fashioned, indicating that it might be on its way out of this language
