Uncertainty in Sampled Systems

The recently obtained evidence of the need for a positive real element in an adaptive system leaves us with a disturbing gap in adaptive control theory. It is a fact that in some applications adaptive controllers are performing well in practice. How can these systems behave well in practical situations which must contain modeling error? This paper introduces a preliminary result which indicates th

The importance of quality requirements in software platform development - a survey

This paper presents a survey where some quality requirements that commonly affect software architecture have been prioritized with respect to cost and lead-time impact when developing software platforms and when using them. Software platforms are the basis for a product-line, i.e. a collection of functionality that a number of products are based on. The survey has been carried out in two large sof

Second forerunners in reflection and transmission data

Second forerunner approximations to the transmission and reflection kernels for a temporally dispersive, nonmagnetic, isotropic slab are obtained. Numerical results are presented for two different dispersion models and are compared with the second forerunner approximations. Finally, transmission and reflection kernels are used to reconstruct the first susceptibility moments of the material of the

Experimental Techniques and Data Treatment for Studying the Dynamics of Ethanol Production/Consumption in Baker's Yeast

The dynamics of ethanol production/consumption in baker's yeast were studied under feed- rate controlled conditions. The yeast was grown on molasses in an 8-l fed-batch reactor and experiments were done at cell concentrations between 5 and 65 g l−1. Small changes in the feed rate were made around a feed rate corresponding to the critical growth rate, at which the yeast cell metabolism switches bet

Microbial Production of Bio-Based Chemicals: A Biorefinery Perspective

Popular Abstract in English A large variety of microorganisms are present in nature and have indispensable roles in recycling carbon, remediation of the environment, agriculture, and also in providing health benefits to humans. Microorganisms are microscopic versatile living factories that can consume several different natural as well as synthetic compounds for their growth and also produce differA shift from fossil- to renewable biomass feedstock for the emerging bio-based economy requires the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies that are more suited for transformation of biomass components to chemicals, materials and energy. This thesis presents investigations on the development of processes based on industrial biotechnology as a key element for the production of chem

The Significance of the Anointing of Jesus' Feet

In this paper I argue that the author of John singled out the feet in his description of the anointing of Jesus because he wanted to portray Jesus as a serving, suffering, and dying Anointed One of the Lord, and because he wanted to emphasize the notion that the lowly ones of God’s people also would be anointed with the Holy Spirit. In order to support this conclusion I argue that (1) the anointin
