The nonlinear kinetic equation of Prigogine and Herman is examined in regards to existence and uniqueness of solutions. The solution exists and is unique in the Banach space of bounded continuous functions over a particular subspace Ω. The equilibrium solution of the kinetic equation of Prigogine and Herman is used to derive asymptotic type series expansions in the form of Hilbert or Chapman and

The development of MIMO over-the-air (OTA) test methodology is an ongoing activity in 3GPP RAN4, CTIA and EU COST Action 2100. In this paper, the focus is on the anechoic chamber approach, which uses a uniform circular array of probe antennas to replicate directional channels for the device under test (DUT) at the array center. In particular, we study in simulation the complexity requirements of i

This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters. In order to implement this procedure, we need informatio

This paper studies the issue of whether money contains useful information about future inflation in a panel of nine developed countries. A low frequency estimate of excess money growth is compared to an estimate of the inflation trend following the discussion in Woodford (2007). The empirical analysis shows that money contains more information about future CPI-inflation than an estimate of the inf

This study investigated eye movements during visual imagery, under two experimental conditions. Participants recalled complex pictures from memory while looking at a blank screen under a condition of free viewing and under a condition where fixation was maintained in the centre of the screen. The recall task was to orally describe the picture. Results showed that, under the condition of free viewi

Process water from a Swedish thermomechanical pulp mill was purified by consecutive treatment by microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. In the present study the nanofiltration step was studied. The flux and retention of four nanofiltration membranes were compared. The NF99HF membrane (Alfa Laval, Lund, Sweden), had significantly higher flux and higher retention of lignin and charged

The acoustic field in an annular gas turbine combustion chamber with thirty burners has been studied using a hybrid approach. The acoustic field was determined by solving an inhomogeneous wave equation. The acoustic sources were provided by a low Mach number flow solver. The main focus was to determine the influence of nonuniform behavior and interactions of neighboring burners. For this reason th
