Tracking and positioning using phase information from estimated multi-path components

High resolution radio based positioning and tracking is a key enabler for new or improved cellular services. In this work, we are aiming to track user movements with accuracy down to centimeters using standard cellular bandwidths of 20-40 MHz. The goal is achieved by using phase information from the multi-path components (MPCs) of the radio channels. First, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used

Quantitative genetic variation in declining plant populations

The ecological and genetic effects of habitat fragmentation are an issue of major concern in current conservation biology. Habitat fragmentation results in smaller habitat areas and as a consequence smaller and more isolated populations. Many habitats have become fragmented through human activities such as forestry and agricultural development. In Sweden, for example, the area of species-rich, sem

That makes vernacular buildings highly relevant to resource efficiency in contemporary building resea

Att bli indragen i en rättstvist i USA är mycket kostsamt och som en konsekvens finns det aktörer med stora ekonomiska resurser som inte drar sig för att missbruka civilprocessen, t ex för att skrämma misshagliga parter till tystnad. Denna typ av ogrundade stämningar kallas SLAPPs – Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation – och ett flertal amerikanska delstater har numera en Anti-SLAPP-lag
