Som tonsättare upplevde jag starkt skillnaden av att komma från konsertsalen till operasalongen. I konsertsalen står det autonoma verket i fokus, men i operasalongen är det handlingen. Dessutom var skillnaden påtaglig i att planera ett verk inom ett konsertprogram för mindre än 100 lyssnare till att tänka sig 1000 lyssnare och att man ensam ska fånga intresset en hel kväll. I min konstnärliga avha

Poor public perception can obstruct a construction project in a damaging way. Knowledge about public opinion should be considered as a relevant area of expertise for project managers and as an essential cost element in the planning and completion of construction projects. A consensual approach to a siting controversy requires informal face-to-face interaction among chosen representatives from all

Space agencies are planning the next generation simulators in preparation for future human missions to Moon and Mars. Simulators serve as tools to test new technologies, habitat design, procedures, protocols, physiological requirements and psychological countermeasures. This paper focuses on simulator fidelity. Simulator fidelity, as defined by the research team, is: The degree to which a simulato

This thesis examines the scholarly study of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, especially the way in which the field has been shaped by the discovery of the Winchester MS in 1934. Owing to the complex relationship between the manuscript and the printed edition of 1485, both contradictory and co-dependent, Le Morte seems to invite a number of narratives regarding its origins and originality whil

Insectivore classification has been one of the most controversial problems in mammalian systematics. Evolutionary relationships among the six extant families, Talpidae (moles), Soricidae (shrews), Erinaceidae (hedgehogs), Tenrecidae (tenrecs), Chryosochloridae (golden moles), and Solenodontidae (solenodons), have remained uncertain based on morphological data. Animals classified within the order L

A software requirements specification (SRS) is an important document that reports the result from the system requirements determination (SRD) which forms a basis for subsequent activities in the systems development process. In order to increase the knowledge base of SRS and how they could be structured nine SRSs are analyzed. The analysis aims at demonstrate similarities and differences in SRS com

(IB) methods are two popular computational techniques for multi-fluid dynamics. To help shed light on the performance of both techniques, we present accuracy assessment including interfacial geometry, detailed and global transport characteristics. The investigations include the simulations of a droplet under static equilibrium and a droplet rising due to gravity for Re≤1000. Different surface tens

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parksinson’s sjukdom (PD) är en neurodegenerativ sjukdom där dopamininnehållande (dopaminerga) nervceller gradvis dör av oklar anledning, vilket leder till störningar I rörelsemönstret hos patienten. Det finns för närvarande inte någon bot mot sjukdomen och de goda effekterna av medicinering avtar efter 5-10 år. Genom att transplantera nya dopaminerga nervceller från hTransplantation of embryonic dopaminergic neurones can ameliorate symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, but a major obstacle for clinical transplantations to overcome is the low survival (typically 5-10%) of implanted nigral neurones. If cell death in nigral grafts can be prevented, less embryonic tissue would be needed per transplantation session and hence more patients could receive intracerebral gra

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förmågan att kunna hitta mat är väldigt viktigt för alla djur eftersom detta påverkar flera saker, t ex hur snabbt man växer. Det i sin tur påverkar vilken roll man har i en grupp, hur mycket energi man har råd att lägga på fortplantning och hur många ungar man får. Att söka mat är oftast för-knippat med att äta, men inkluderar även andra aspekter som att söka efter matThe foraging ability of an organism is essential since it affects various traits, e.g. growth, reproduction effort, social status and, ultimately, fitness. Foraging is often associated with food intake but includes more aspects such as searching for and assessing food patches and evaluating the patch as good or bad compared to the rest of the environment. On top of that, a forager also has to surv

On 28 May 2009, at a closed meeting in Brussels, ministers and state secretaries of education and science from several EU countries decided to build the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden. Or did they? It is common for big European science projects to be surrounded by secrecy and political deceit, but the ESS is extraordinary in its elusiveness. There is a remarkable lack of concrete

The Moving City: Processions, Passages and Promenades in Ancient Rome focusses on movements in the ancient city of Rome, exploring the interaction between people and monuments. Representing a novel approach to the Roman cityscape and culture, and reflecting the shift away from the traditional study of single monuments into broader analyses of context and space, the volume reveals both how movement
