Bridging the gap between clinical and patient-provided images

I will be reporting here on how a group of artists and designers and a group of patients approached the task of visualising the meaning of specific medical diagnoses without recourse to traditional medical imagery. The purpose was to investigate how people relate to images produced in healthcare and how alternative visual aids might complement printed and verbal communications between doctor and p

The “Edisons” behind radical innovations

This paper focuses on the special individuals, called “Edisons”, who contributed to the development and acceptance of two major radical innovations, frozen food and self-service, in Sweden after 1945. The “Edisons” were passionate enthusiasts, making extraordinary efforts and doing more than their jobs, and they could also be contributing from outside the innovative organisations. At times people

An accurate boundary value problem solver applied to scattering from cylinders with corners

In this paper we consider the classic problem of scattering of waves from perfectly conducting cylinders with piecewise smooth boundaries. The scattering problems are formulated as integral equations and solved using a Nyström scheme, where the corners of the cylinders are efficiently handled by a method referred to as Recursively Compressed Inverse Preconditioning (RCIP). This method has been ver

(De)composing the middle : A minimalist approach to middles in English and Swedish.

This thesis is concerned with a particular type of generic sentence that is referred to as the ‘middle construction’ in the literature. The aim of the thesis is to offer a theoretical account of middles couched within the non-lexicalist framework of Distributed Morphology (see Halle & Marantz 1993 and subsequent work), and, more generally, within the Minimalist Program (see e.g. Chomsky 2000,

Iterative equalizer using soft-decoder feedback for MIMO systems in frequency-selective fading

Signals transmitted through Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems suffer from multiple access interference (MAI), multipath propagation and additive noise. For such systems, iterative multi-user receivers offer a good tradeoff between performance and complexity. In this paper, the complete structure of such an iterative receiver is presented. It comprises channel estimator, multi-user dete
