The thesis scrutinizes an emerging phenomenon in international relations: the increase in functional overlaps among international regimes. I approach this young field of study in three consecutive parts. The first part conceptualizes regime overlaps as ‘regime conflicts’. Following a broad sociological understanding of ‘conflict’, I define a regime conflict as an overlap among two or more internat

The Cauchy problem for the following system of conservation laws with relaxation time $delta$ is discussed: $(ast)$ $(u+v)_t+f(u)_x=0$, $delta v_t=A(u)-v$. A theorem on the well-posedness of the problem is given in the class of functions with bounded total variation. Then the behaviour of solutions to $(ast)$ as $delta o 0$ is treated and convergence of a certain finite-difference scheme to the so

The formation of nitrogen oxides during combustion of coal is a complex process involving both homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction step. In this thesis HCN and NH3 are used as model compunds for the nitrogen containing pyrolysis products

One way to increase distribution network reliability is to replace traditional overhead lines with underground cables. To fully utilize these investments, network owners will have to adjust their reliability engineering methods to suit the new cable networks. In this paper different condition assessment methods as well as improved failure statistics for cable systems are considered. The paper is b

A Matlab / Simulink-based simulator for real-time control systems is described. The simulator facilitates co-simulation of plant dynamics, controller code execution, and real-time scheduling. Three examples are given. The kernel primitives are described in detail.

A previously proposed model for non-stationary signals is extended in this contribution. The model consists of mul- tiple time-translated locally stationary processes. The opti- mal Ambiguity kernel for the process in mean-square-error sense is computed analytically and is used to estimate the time-frequency distribution. The performance of the kernel is compared with other commonly used kernels.

Single crystal structural data have been used to estimate the influence of the X, Y and Z ligands on the Pt‹L bond length in [PtLXYZ] complexes, i.e. the ground state cis- and trans-influence. Cl or S were selected as indicator ligands, L, for these studies. Ligands with soft donor atoms, such as sulfur, carbon and silicon have been used to study their trans-influence on halides. The effects of ex

Abstract in UndeterminedPaper I: Greenhouse gas taxes on animal food products - rationale, tax scheme and climate mitigation effects Agriculture is responsible for 25–30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but has thus far been largely exempted from climate policies. Because of high monitoring costs and comparatively low technical potential for emission reductions in the agricu

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling is a trellis coding method that maintains the error rate while reducing signal bandwidth. The combined effect is to move closer to capacity. We study some basic receiver issues: How to model the signaling efficiently in discrete time, how much the Viterbi receiver can be truncated, and how to combine the method with an outer code. The methods are modeling for mi

Swedish translation (by B. Stolt) of select sermons by John Tauler (c. 1300-1361). A selection was made from among the authentic texts in Middle German.

"Könet brinner" (Gender is Burning) is a collection of Judith Butler's texts in Swedish.

In the development of new food products, more knowledge is needed about the occurrence and quantity of food-borne pathogens in the food chain to be able to implement effective control measures and assure food safety. In addition, improved understanding of how environmental factors and food preservatives effect the microbial virulence expression in foods will enable the formulation of new strategie
