The composition of the labour force is an important economic factor for a country. Often the changes in proportions of different groups are of interest. In this paper we study a monthly compositional time series from the Swedish Labour Force Survey from 1994 to 2005. Three models are studied: the ILR-transformed series, the ILR-transformation of the compositional differenced series of order 1, and

Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, cutting-edge technologies require devices to be small, ultrafast, and operational in a wide range of regimes. To fulfill these requirements we need to go beyond the traditional materials, i.e. to solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress in this direction is conjectured to stem from materials in which the effect of inter-partiCutting-edge technology needs small, ultrafast devices, operational in a wide range of regimes. This calls for solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress is expected from materials in which electron-electron and electron-phonon correlations strongly affect the dynamics ( i.e. "unforeseen" useful properties are expected to be most likely found in systems with comple

The focus of this article is on implementation of real time combustion control by using an FPGA. The feedback used for the controller is the heat release. Due to the desire to avoid using division on the FPGA an alternative way of calculating the polytropic exponent is investigated. When this method is compared against using a constant exponent it shows less fluctuations in regards to cycle to cyc

The films of Swedish filmmaker and writer Carl Henric Svenstedt (b. 1937)are discussed within the framework of the tradition of poetic cinema and documentarism. In focus are four of his later films, Winter Gale (2007), Harg! Platsens musik (2010), Änglastämman (2010), and Tidens gång - Im Lauf der Zeit (2012).

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett poröst material är ett material med hålrum fyllda av gas eller vätska. Transport av molekyler genom ett poröst material beror på materialets struktur och har betydelse för områden som oljeutvinning, katalytisk avgasrening och blöjors uppsugningsförmåga. Porösa material vars struktur förändras beroende på vattenhalt är svåra att studera eftersom många av de traditioProton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to study the self-diffusion of water in porous systems that respond to a change in water content in order to elucidate the porous structure and the properties of the confined water. In the carbohydrate systems cellulose fibers and starch granules, water is free to move throughout the porous objects, albeit with a rate reduced from the value of the

The main thrust of CNN technology has been in analog implementations. Early attempts for digital implementations have a limited potential, confining the usage to for instance linear algorithms for B/W pictures. The paper looks into the prospects of successfully integrating the full CNN potential. This requires a carefully tuning of memory and network-on-chip bandwidth to the temporal/spatial aspec

Major databases on western clothing and their thermal properties are available, but information on non-western clothing is lacking. A recent ASHRAE project 1504 TRP, Extension of the Clothing Insulation Database for Standard 55 and ISO 7730 dealt with the issue. Simultaneously, a co-operation study at Indian workplaces allowed us to acquire some sets of the traditional clothes used at construction
