Non wide-sense stationary (WSS) uncorrelated scatterering (US) fading processes are observed in vehicular communications. To estimate such a process under additive white Gaussian noise we use the local scattering function (LSF). In this paper we present an optimal parametrization of the multitaper-based LSF estimator. We do this by quantizing the mean square error (MSE). For that purpose we use th

Sorption isotherms (moisture content as a function of relative humidity (RH) at equilibrium) are an important tool in designing buildings to limit moisture related problems. Normally only a single sorption curve is used so that each moisture content uniquely corresponds to one RH. Sometimes two curves are used, one curve for absorption and one for desorption, as it is well known that sorption has

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) require ambitious policies for existing buildings. One important aspect of policy design is to understand the decision making of building owners and investors. Governments can support such decisions with grants, but public funds can only cover part of the investments. Hence, schemes need to be well-design

Skew Laplace distributions, which naturally arise in connection with random summation and quantile regression settings, offer an attractive and flexible alternative to the normal (Gaussian) distribution in a variety of settings where the assumptions of symmetry and short tail are too restrictive. The growing popularity of the Laplacebased models in recent years is due to their fundamental properti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Signalen som registreras under ett arbets EKG prov kan innehålla viktig information rörande hjärtats kondition. De störningar som ofta uppträder i signalen kan dock försvåra en korrekt diagnos. I avhandlingens första del används tidsserie modeller för att skatta profilen, den del av signalen som härrör från hjärtats elektriska aktivitet. Målet med dessa metoder är att The analysis of the recorded electrical activity of the heart during an exercise test is a valuable method for investigating a patient's circulatory and respiratory system. But the disturbances that occurr during a test often make it difficult to interpret the signal in order to detect changes evoked by the increased workload and related to for instance coronary artery diseases. Suppression of dis

Ore-mining, metallurgy and other industrial activities represent the source of heavy metal and radionuclide contamination in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Physico-chemical processes are employed for heavy metal removal from industrial wastewater. However, limitations due to the cost-effectiveness and the use of contaminating reagents make these processes not environmentally friendly. Biot

This paper presents a solution to panoramic image stitching of two images with co- inciding optical centers, but unknown focal length and radial distortion. The algorithm operates with a minimal set of corresponding points (three) which means that it is well suited for use in any RANSAC style algorithm for simultaneous estimation of geometry and outlier rejection. Compared to a previous method for

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen "Emancipation och religion. Den svenska kvinnorörelsens pionjärer i debatt om kvinnans kallelse ca 1860-1900" exponerar en komplex bild av den samhälleliga kontext som var rådande i emancipationsprocessens initialskede. Undersökningen ger vid handen att det vid denna tid förelåg ett samband mellan emancipation och sedlighet. Konservativa samhällsföreträdareThe purpose of the thesis is to chart the ideology that formed the basis for the initial stages of the emancipation of women in Sweden. The focus of the analysis is the debate over what constituted a woman's calling, and her place in public life. The early feminists possessed a Christian outlook with strong liberal overtones, and it was thus specifically theological arguments that the pioneering g
