This chapter does not deal with any practical aspects of light measurement, only with theoretical concepts. The following concepts are explained: energy fluence , energy fluence rate, photon fluence, photon fluence rate and radiance, mol, as well as the following superflu-ous or obsolete terms and synonyms: actinic flux, space irradiance, scalar irradiance, spherical irradiance, vectorial irradian

This study is concerned with an original traffic restoration strategy for wide-area communication networks called Elastic Rerouting (ER). ER aims at alleviating the tradeoff between the network cost and traffic restoration complexity observed in existing solutions. We present the strategy, provide a mathematical formulation for the ER related optimization problem, and discuss an approach to its re

The Great Trajanic Frieze is a Monument firmly entranched in the tradition of Graeco-Roman art.The study of the different components of its imagery, such as composition, iconography and antiquarian details, reveals how it transmits and transforms this tradition. The imagery reveals itself as conscentiously structured to present and repeat a limited set of concepts to the viewer. The book also pres

As road networks are becoming increasingly utilised, it is increasingly important to be able to accurately predict travel times for disseminating information among road users and to support traffic management decisions and planning. Over the past few years, a new way of making such predictions utilising the space-time autoregressive integrated moving average (STARIMA) model has been introduced. Th

This doctoral thesis has its theoretical origin in the notion that the information flow between management teams, financial analysts and investors is especially exposed to information asymmetry when knowledge-intense companies are concerned. Information asymmetry may aggravate agency problems and risk causing an impairment of the efficient allocation of capital on the stock market. Therefore, the

Riksrevisionens första tio år har präglats av turbulens. En fråga som har vållat särskild debatt är inskränkningarna av effektivitetsrevisorns utrymme för självständigt utövande av det professionella omdömet. Detta kapitel ägnas åt den frågan. Det baseras på tio års nära forskning om Riksrevisionen. När myndigheten bildades valde riksrevisorerna att öka sitt eget inflytande över granskningarna, sa

The book gathers a number of articles devoted to new approaches towards research into freemasonry as a socio-cultural phenomenon in British society.

Currently biofuels have strong political support, both in the EU and Sweden. The EU has, for example, set a target for the use of renewable fuels in the transportation sector stating that all EU member states should use 10% renewable fuels for transport by 2020. Fulfilling this ambition will lead to an enormous market for biofuels during the coming decade. To avoid increasing production of biofuel
