The paper presents main conceptual distinctions underlying much of modern philosophical thinking about value. The introductory Section 1 is followed in Section 2 by an outline of the contrast between non-relational value (impersonal good, or good, period) and relational value (good for someone, or—more generally—good for some entity). In Section 3, the focus is on the distinction between final and

A Class-D audio amplifier utilizing a fully adjustable 3-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is presented. The amplifier is fully integrated in a 0.35um CMOS process, and is powered by a 3.3V power supply. The system includes an internal fully adjustable triangle-wave oscillator, which is used to generate the PWM carrier. Delivering an output power of 300mW is a differential bridge (7.5cm pMOS, 3cm

Almost every day between one and two school fires occur in Sweden. In most cases arson is the cause of the fire. The losses for these arson fires are considerable. A multidisciplinary research project has been launched in Sweden with the long-term goal to reduce these arson trends. As a part of this project a smaller project has been conducted where cases studies of arson fires in schools have bee

The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio

Eosinophils normally constitute only a few per cent of circulating leucocytes, though they are more numerous in tissues vulnerable to attack by environmental micro-organisms. Eosinophils can kill invasive parasites, but also possess immunoregulatory functions and may be involved, for example, in the connective tissue remodelling that occurs in conjunction with inflammation. Although their effects

With the growth of mobile computing, users will have simultaneous access to multiple networks, each with different characteristics, services and costs. This paper introduces TOMTEN (TOtal Management Of Transmissions for the ENd-user), a framework for managing resources in this environment. TOMTEN is a reactive framework that is only active when either the application is started up or the user indi

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising as an energy producing device, which at this stage of development will require extensive analysis and benefit from numerical modeling at different time- and length scales. A 3D model is developed based on the finite element method (FEM), using COMSOL Multiphysics, of a single SOFC operating at an intermediate temperature range. Ion, electron, heat, gas-
