This criticism point at different aspects of expert committees: com
This paper is part of a larger project that aims to study the relation between practice and theory in the works of three thinkers: John Dewey, Gregory Bateson and Félix Guattari. These thinkers share an understanding of the primary importance of the relation between theory and practice. Also their philosophical grammar is inherently spatial with concepts such as transversality, rhizome, ritornello
The effective management of end-users and their requirements in construction projects can bring a number of benefits, for example more satisfied and less critical end-users in terms of both the product and project. Building occupants are however continually changing and with that their needs. It is thereby a challenge to understand what brings value for both known and unknown end-users. More over
A new disturbance signal was introduced for the paper machine drying section and its feedforward control was evaluated. Control of the moisture content is conventionally accomplished by adjusting the steam pressure in the cylinders. By adding feedforward to a previously presented mid-ranging control system, the moisture disturbances rejection could be significantly improved.
We present an overview of how circuit models can be used for wave propaga- tion in stratified structures. Homogeneous slabs are modeled as transmission lines, and thin sheets between the slabs are modeled as lumped elements. It is seen that electric material properties contribute as shunt elements, and mag- netic material properties contribute as series elements. When the sheets have periodic patt
Abstract in Danish Sidste år i marts ramte en tredobbelt katastrofe Japan med jordskælv, flodbølge og atomulykke. Det økonomiske efterskælv fortsætter i Japan, og regningen løber op i billion-klassen hinsides milliardernes allerede svimlende nuller. Det kæmper den forgældede japanske stat med, der skylder mere end to gange sit bruttonationalprodukt. Premierminister Noda forsøger at hæve momsen som
