The rapid development of wireless sensor network and RFID technologies offers a wide range of novel applications and services. In this paper, we present a two-layered wireless network for warehouses and supermarkets to monitor goods storage and sale, and assist for quality management and market analysis. The hierarchical architecture uses IEEE 802.15.4a impulse ultra-wideband radio (IR-UWB) commun

This book chapter discusses intersectionality in relation to heteronormativity, and reminds readers of the non-white origins of intersectionality as a theoretical and political concept. The terms whiteness and heteronormativity are proposed as an excellent theoretical and political couple in contemporary scholarship.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder associated with the translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11) and progresses from a relatively indolent chronic phase (CP) to an accelerated phase (AP) and finally to the more aggressive blast crisis (BC). The general aim of this thesis was to identify and characterize genetic abnormalities occurring at disease progression of CML using molecular

Baron Erland Nordenskiöld was born on July 19th, 1877. As a son of the great explorer Adolf Nordenskiöld he was predestined to follow the road of scientific pursuit. Moving from the field of the natural sciences to anthropology, Nordenskiöld took the chair as professor of "general and comparative ethnography" in the early 1920's. This position at the University of Gothenburg marked the beginning o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom sjukvården används strålning för att behandla cancer. Vid strålbehandling är det viktigt att man i förväg vet precis hur strålningen ska ges till patienten för att resultatet av behandlingen skall bli bra. Ett hjälpmedel som används för detta är ett datorprogram (dosplaneringssystem) som, med utgångspunkt från patientens anatomi, beräknar hur varje enskild patient Gel dosimetry is a new dosimetry method applied in radiation therapy. Gel dosimeters consist of a radiation sensitive gel, which can integrate absorbed doses from several radiation sources or beams. The dose to the gel can be evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a procedure that is the focus of the present thesis. A robust tool for the evaluation of the nonuniformity in MRI has been dev

The report compiles the results from the METRO-project. The different parts of the project; design fires, evacuation, integrated fire control, smoke control, extraordinary strain on constructions and fire- and rescue operations are presented separately. The most complicated and expensive part of the project was the performance of the large scale fire and explosion tests in the Brunsberg tunnel. T

The shot noise behavior of sequential tunneling through two vertically coupled quantum dots is studied by means of a master equation approach. In particular, we propose a mechanism to observe super-Poissonian shot noise in such a system. The crucial ingredient is the Coulomb interaction between electrons in individual quantum dots.
