The availability and exchange of required packaging logistics information is critical to achieve an efficient, effective and responsive retail supply chain. The use of well defined packaging-related information that is available for all actors in the supp1y chain also facilitate an integrated and supply chain oriented packaging development. The objective of this paper is to investigate and describ

This contribution probes the notion of non-nationalist civic identity in the context of the EU, and looks at the media's potential role in developing it.

Praxisbegreppet, sedan existentialismen och marxismens stora dagar, har lämnat upplysningens säkra marker för att istället växa inom en så kallad postmodern världsåskådningsram. Denna åskådningsram kräver ett närmande som är månskiftande, en eklektisk reflexion som i slutändan innebär en dekonstruktion av postmodernismen.

A prediction of structural behaviour and fire resistance is presented for some different types of concrete members. This is made by use of two computer programs TASEF-2 and CONFIRE for thermal and structural response, respectively. Fire resistance times predicted by CONFIRE for different failure criteria and those obtained from different design recommendations are compared for a simply supported p

A critical assessment of a widely applied approach for the prediction of temperature-insensitive absorption lines is presented. This approach was found to suffer from significant shortcomings.

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av tre svenskar drabbas av cancer. Hälften av de som behandlas för sin cancer får strålbehandling som en del av sin behandling. Teknikutvecklingen gör att strålbehandling kan levereras på mer och mer avancerade sätt. Det är dock svårt att veta vilka patienter som verkligen gynnas av behandling med en avancerad teknik och i så fall med vilken typ av avancerad teknik. Radiotherapy is one of the major tools for treating cancer. Through research and technical development radiotherapy is becoming more advanced with new treatment techniques emerging. In the work presented in this thesis, well-known methods have been used, or modified for use, and new methods have been introduced in order to optimise the clinical use of an advanced radiotherapy treatment technique,

We report on preliminary results from time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the He-rich variable white dwarf GD 358.

The aim of this book is to improve our understanding of creative knowledge environments. The various chapters analyse creative and innovate activities as carried out by individuals, groups and organisations. The book’s focus is on identifying and understanding the factors relating to the working environment that are conducive to human creativity and innovation. The editing of the book has been a c

Douglas Portmores förslag på hur vi skall skilja mellan agent-neutrala och agent-relativa skäl disktureras. Enligt förslaget utgörs normativa skäl av en särskild typ av så kallade konjunktiva fakta – dvs. sådana sakförhållanden som råder enligt sanna kontrafaktiska utsagor. Ansatsen är lovande. Emellertid, det också finns en del otydligheter med förslaget som behöver närmare utredas. Uppsatsen lyf

In control theory there exist two convenient representations of a model, which are transfer functions and state-space matrices. However, structure in the transfer functions is not clearly seen in the state-space form, and on the other hand structure in the state-space form is not clearly seen in the transfer functions. The main reason for this is that Laplace transformation destroys most types of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bedömning av domstolarnas oberoende i Folkrepubliken Kina ur ett människorättighetsperspektiv.The first of three parts in this study elaborates on international human rights law and drawing on the most essential international instruments and jurisprudence, the criteria constituting judicial independence are distilled as a framework for assessment. The point of departure is that judicial independence is a necessary guarantee for the enjoyment of human rights rather than a privilege of judge

Antenna selection is a promising technique for reducing complexity of multiple-antenna (MIMO) systems. In antenna selection, more antenna elements than RF transceiver chains are available for up-conversion and down-conversion. A subset of the available antenna elements is selected and connected to the RF chains. The reduction in the number of RF chains helps to reduce the implementation cost of mu
