ADINE - EU Demonstration Project of Active Distribution Network

The aim of ADINE project is to develop and to demonstrate new methods for the electric distribution network management including distributed generation (DG). The active network management (ANM) method needs enabling solutions such as protection, voltage and reactive power control and planning and information systems of networks. The actual devices and monitored data from the real-life demonstratio

Dual Coalition System in Malaysia: Beyond Communal Politics

For the first time since 1969, Malaysian politics witnessed the formation of a significant (albeit rather unstable) dual coalition system, when the opposition front Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Alliance) successfully challenged the Barisan Nasional (National Front)’s traditional two-thirds dominance of parliament in the 2008 General Election. With the parliamentary margin between the two political coa

Spatial Representation and Haptic Mental Rotation

In this paper it is argued that it is legitimate to talk about mental imagery, and thus, to claim that spatial information is coded in an analogue mode. Evidence from research with blind people indicate that they can perform mental rotation and that analogue spatial cognition does not depend on visual information. It is therefore proposed that, if the blind can perform mental rotation in an analog

Prayer Practices among Ordinary People in the Late Middle Ages

In this paper I will present key findings of my concluded project on the prayer life of peasant communities in late medieval Sweden, conducted at the University of Gothenburg 2005–2010. The aim of the project has been to identify, explain and delineate praying among peasant communities in late medieval Sweden. Four aspects have been examined through the perspectives of ideals and practices, namely

Case cancellation or KP-extraction?

The purpose of this paper is to show how it is possible to derive the advantages of the subject choice view of passivization (Holmer 1996a, 1996b) without necessarily resorting to the somewhat unconventional (and, in traditional terms, illicit) concept of Case Cancellation. Instead, I adopt two proposals made by Bittner & Hale 1996 with respect to Case-marking and the structure of Case-marked

A low-cost time-hopping impulse radio system for high data rate transmission

We present an efficient, low-cost implementation of time-hopping impulse radio that fulfills the spectral mask mandated by the FCC and is suitable for high-data-rate, short-range communications. Key features are (i) all-baseband implementation that obviates the need for passband components, (ii) symbol-rate (not chip rate) sampling, A/D conversion, and digital signal processing, (iii) fast acquisi

Stored energy and current optimization

Current optimization provides bounds on the antenna performance and suggestions for distributions of optimal antenna currents. Many current optimization problems can be formulated as convex optimization problems. The formulations as convex optimization problems are advantageous as there are efficient solvers with explicit posterior error bounds and the problems are easily generalized to specific a

Iran's Syria Gamble: Losing the War, Losing the Peace?

To put it in a nutshell, Iran’s Syrian syndrome, so to speak, is unsettling and negating it materially and perceptually on the domestic, regional and international levels. And eventually, if Syrians manage, in their quest for democracy and dignity, to find a way out of their current predicament and build a free future of their own, it will almost undoubtedly be one without Assad and his cohort, mo

Friction and Friction Compensation in the Furuta Pendulum

Inverted pendulums are very well suited to investigate friction phenomena and friction compensation because the effects of friction are so clearly noticeable. This paper analyses the effect of friction on the Furuta pendulum. It is shown that friction in the arm drive may cause limit cycles. The limit cycles are well predicted by common friction models. It is also shown that the amplitudes of the

Advances and Applications of Antibody Arrays - Proteomic Profiling of Pancreatic Disease

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antikroppar är proteiner som ingår i kroppens immunförsvar, där de fungerar som bindare för att neutralisera patogena mikroorganismer eller ämnen som infekterat kroppen. Vid en infektion börjar immunceller producera antikroppar genom att på ett smart sätt sätta ihop olika gener. Varje enskild immuncell använder en viss kombination av gener och producerar därmed antikropRecombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th deadliest cancer, with a 5-year survival rat
