This paper treats channel estimation and signal detection in Laplacian noise. The received signal is assumed to be a transmitted signal which has been corrupted by an unknown channel, modeled as a FIR filter, the output being further disturbed by additive independent Laplacian noise. The transmitted signal is assumed to depend on an unknown parameter belonging to a known finite set. The simultaneo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Feromonmedierat parningssystem hos ett nattfly Min avhandlings huvudsakliga mål är att identifiera och bestämma faktorer som påverkar det feromon-medierade parningsystemet hos sädesbroddflyet Agrotis segetum. Dessa faktorer inkluderar både honkönets produktion av sexualferomon såväl som hankönets feromon-inducerade respons, men också andra överlevnads- och reproduktionIn a series of studies, carried out in the laboratory and in the field in southern Sweden, I have examined factors influencing the mating behaviour of the turnip moth Agrotis segetum. The reproductive potential of the sexes and the mating behaviour was studied. The reproductive potential of males is greater than that of females. Males are ready to mate every night, while females rarely mate more

Sorption isotherms (moisture content as a function of relative humidity (RH) at equilibrium) are an important tool in designing buildings to limit moisture related problems. Normally only a single sorption curve is used so that each moisture content uniquely corresponds to one RH. Sometimes two curves are used, one curve for absorption and one for desorption, as it is well known that sorption has

The paper discusses the key enabling mechanisms introduced by Web 2.0 technologies that can support Product Service Systems (PSSs) development teams in increasing the quality of early design decisions. The paper collects success stories and lessons learned from two empirical case studies in the aeronautical supply chain, and from a set of questionnaires forwarded to major automotive manufacturers,

Född i Preußisch Stargard 1883 och avliden i Stockholm 1942 tillhör Saul en av de Sveriges musikaktörer som under första hälften på 1900-talet aktivt kämpade för att förmedla en kontinental musiksyn och att gestalta och utveckla det svenska musik- och framför allt körlivet enligt de nyaste trenderna söderifrån. Artikeln tar upp ett flertal intressanta aspekter om Sauls musikaliska verksamhet i Sve

Popular Abstract in Swedish En studie av konformationer och elektronövergångar i ett antal rodaniner, ett tiourinämne och ett par ditiokarbamater m.h.a. kristallografi, spectroskopi och datatekniska beräkningsmetoder.Analysis of conformations and electron transitions of 3-(alkyl or aralkyl)-5-(methyl or phenyl)rhodanines with analogues and N,N'-bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-thiourea have been performed by X-ray crystallography, 1H NMR, molecular mechanics, ultraviolet spectroscopy and for the chiral rhodanines, enantiomer chromatography and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The magnitude of rotational barriers has bee

This dissertation investigates a new method for obtaining excited-state properties of finite, many-electron systems such as atoms, molecules and nano-systems. The method combines the merits of many-body perturbation theory and time-dependent perturbation theory and yields approximate density response functions which preserve basic physical conservation laws. Furthermore, advanced density functiona

In a sample of 51 teenagers with anorexia nervosa (AN)-which included 24 cases constituting the total population of AN cases born in 1970-several had shown social, communicative and behaviour patterns suggestive of autistic-like conditions as children, long before the onset of AN. One of the three boys in the AN group had Asperger syndrome. Three of the 48 girls had histories suggesting high funct

Many cells express receptors for plasminogen (Pg), although the responsible molecules in most cases are poorly defined. In contrast, the group A streptococcal surface protein PAM contains a domain with two 13-amino acid residue long repeated sequences (a1 and a2) responsible for Pg binding. Here we identify the region in Pg that interacts with PAM. A radiolabeled proteolytic plasminogen fragment c
