Evaluating Numerical ODE/DAE Methods, Algorithms and Software

Until recently, the testing of ODE/DAE software has been limited to simple comparisons and benchmarking. The process of developing software from a mathematically specified method is complex: it entails constructing control structures and objectives, selecting iterative methods and termination criteria, choosing norms and many more decisions. Most software constructors have taken a heuristic approa

Harald Boklund : kosmopolitiskt, regionalt och nationalromantiskt i Skånes arkitektur 1890-1930

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den i Malmö verksamme arkitekten Harald Boklund (1868-1924) är avhandlingens huvudperson. Vi får följa hans liv och verksamhet från direktörsvåningen på Konstakademien i Stockholm, över studie- och praktikåren i kejsartidens Berlin och det produktiva kompanjonskapet med August Lindvall i industrialismens Malmö till hans roll som föreningsmänniska, arkitekt, kritiker ochThe major part of this thesis is dedicated to a biography of the Swedish architect Harald Boklund (1868-1924), but also deals with the problematic concepts of cosmopolitism, regionalism and National romanticism i Scanian architecture 1890-1930. Harald Boklund was the son of Johan Boklund, a famous painter and director of the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Harald Boklund got his educati

Demokrati i EU. Demokratirådets rapport 2003.

Europa är i dag platsen för ett stort politiskt experiment. Frågan är om det går att skapa ett medborgarnas Europa. Uppgiften är att samtidigt demokratisera, konstitutionalisera och effektivisera Europeiska unionen. 2003 års rapport från Demokratirådet diskuterar med utgångspunkt från EU:s framtidskonvent den pågående reformprocessen och Sveriges bidrag till denna europeiska framtidsdebatt.

Liberty, Law and Social Construction

In this article Hobbes’s view of the commonwealth, and of law and liberty within it, is discussed from the point of view of social ontology. The artificial character of the commonwealth and the constitutive function of the covenant is put in terms of the institutional world being constructed through collective intentionality, which is performative, self-referential, and collective, and which serve

Vägval vid utrymning - utrymningsförsök med gröna blinkande lampor vid nödutgångar

Unannounced evacuation experiments were performed in an office building and a cinema theatre in order to investigate if green flashing lights at emergency exit can influence exit choice, i.e., make people choose the emergency exits. Experiments were documented using standard video cameras and participants filled out a questionnaire. The results show that green flashing lights influenced exit choic

Globalization Movement Comes to Town

The ”Battle of Seattle” only entered the main political agenda of Sweden in September 2000, during the IMF protests in Prague. In this article, the roots and development of "the globalization movement" in Sweden is examined. In particular, the relation between it and the Swedish Labour movement is discussed. The article begin by tracing the roots of the globalization movement in various new social

Hyperfine structure and homogeneous broadening in Pr3+: KY(WO4)(2)

As part of a search for suitable materials for coherent quantum operations, relaxation times and hyperfine structure of the D-1(2)(1)-H-3(4)(1) transition in Pr3+:KY(WO4)(2) (0.29 at. %) at 4 K have been obtained using photon-echo and spectral hole burning techniques. The homogeneous linewidth and the effect of excitation-induced dephasing were measured using two-pulse photon-echo techniques. Line

Stormy records from peat bogs in south-west Sweden : implications for regional climatic variability and vegetation changes during the past 6500 years

This thesis aims to reconstruct and explain variations in storm activity, humidity, vegetation composition and land cover in south-west Sweden during the past 6500 years. Two ombrotrophic bogs, Store Mosse and Undarsmosse, situated on the coastal plain of Halland, were selected for this purpose. The coastal plain of Halland is positioned in the cyclone path and is therefore particularly sensitive

Some problems of plume theory smoke movement and the onset of flashover

Attention is drawn to some of the limitations of conventional plume theory, some differences between axi-symmetric and line plumes, and some rationalisation which is possible in correlating data for the flow from wide vertical openings. The paper is more a summary and a series of notes than a lengthy exercise in the subject.

Tourist Experiences and Academic Junctures

This paper argues for the need to further develop an understanding of tourist experiences that more aggressively transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and that simultaneously re-centers tourist experiences as integral aspects of daily life. In order to do this, the text begins by problematizing the concept of the tourist. Whose experiences are we talking about, and in what ways do issues

Factors influencing adherence to risk factor modification in patients with coronary heart disease

Adherence to lifestyle modification and pharmacological treatment is of great importance in order to achieve maximum benefits of preventive measures after a cardiac event. Unfortunately, patients are neither adopting adequate lifestyle changes nor do they adhere to prescribed medication. Consequently, implementation of CHD guidelines is less than optimal in clinical practice. The general aim of th

Comparison of Lerner score, Doppler ultrasound examination, and their combination for discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the combined use of Lerner's morphologic score and color Doppler ultrasound examination results in better discrimination of benign and malignant adnexal masses than the use of Lerner's score alone or Doppler variables alone. DESIGN: One hundred and seventy-three consecutive women with a pelvic mass judged clinically to be of adnexal origin underwent preoperative ult

Methanol modification of the electron paramagnetic resonance signals from the S0 and S2 states of the water-oxidizing complex of Photosystem II

The Mn-derived electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) multiline signal from the S0 state of the water-oxidizing complex is observable only in the presence methanol. In the present study, we have characterized the effect of methanol on the EPR signals from the S0 and S2 states as well as on the EPR Signal IIslow originating from the TyrosineDox radical. The amplitudes of the S0 and S2 multiline sign
