Blind channel equalization has gained great importance in the world of communications. Among a large number of available blind equalization algorithms, the CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) enjoys widespread popularity because of its LMS-like complexity and robustness. Two important improvements on the CMA performance are the Dithered Signed-Error CMA (DSE-CMA) and the Pre-Whitened CMA (PW-CMA). Th

In today s society, the foreground of deliberation-in politics, legislation, judicial decisions, even war is increasingly experienced by citizens as a mask for the working out of norms and institutions the precise nature of which eludes us. We are accustomed to looking behind every news item, often feeling that the real decisions are made by other people than those who seem to be in power, or that

This paper presents the results of an explorative study on the strategies and tactics applied by the mechanical designer during the later phases of the design process. The method chosen for this study is experiment-based, which is appropriate for an in-depth examination of the designer's activities. Six experiments have been run based on three dimensions: 1) the carrying out of basic design tasks

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kan vårdbehov mätas? Under de senaste decennierna har studier från olika delar av västvärlden kunnat visa att det finns skillnader mellan olika sociala klasser i sjukdomsförekomst och förtidig död. Sådana skillnader finns även i Sverige, trots att politikerna sedan länge satsat på utjämning av klasskillnader och vård på lika villkor för alla. Den ekonomiska tillväxten Aims: To analyse the associations between health and neighbourhood social position, measured by a composite index (Care Need Index, CNI). Furthermore evaluate CNI in preparation for future analysis of its usefulness for allocating primary health care resources to deprived neighbourhoods. Methods: One fourth of the Swedish general practitioners ranked the impact of eight different variables: elder

Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, has been described as a significantly predisposing factor of HIV heterosexual transmission in an endemic region of both diseases. Antibiotic resistances are extensively found in H. ducreyi and many of the resistances are due to the presence of resistance plasmids. A high tendency of drug resistances has commonly been found among isolates derived in Thailan

Nucleic acids have many unique structural features that offer reliable means of recognizing and monitoring many compounds of medical or environmental importance. In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in the use of nucleic acids as a tool to determine the chemical compounds of environmental and clinical interest and the major research activities in these areas have been directed towa

The focus of this thesis is on the calculation of potential energy surfaces and on the study of vibrational properties. For example: - We have developed a new method for calculation of Franck-Condon factors. - We have calculated full energy surfaces of the ground (X2A’) the excited (B2A’) states of the formyl radical. These surfaces have been used to study the hydrocarbon flame bands of the B2A’

Johan Jakob Borelius var professor i teoretisk filosofi vid Lunds universitet från 1866-1898. Boken belyser den syn på filosofin som Borelius gav uttryck för när han tillträdde sin professur. Vidare ges en inblick i hans trettioåriga verksamhet som professor. Särskilt utrymme ägnas åt Borelius syn på motsägelsesatsens innebörd och giltighet, liksom det stora verket "Metafysik" som han arbetade på
