In this work, we introduce a computationally efficient Kalman-filter based implementation of the robust widely linear (WL) minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer. The beamformer is able to achieve the same performance as the recently derived robust WL MVDR beamformer, but avoids the computationally burdensome solution based on a second order cone programming (SOCP), and exploit

This paper provides an anthropological definition of "security" to discuss the nature of international intervention in the Balkans. Using examples from the author's development work in Albania, it describes how the international project implementation carried on by development NGOs interacts with local customary laws such as the Albanian 'kanun'. Projectization has created new project elites, but

This is a summarizing commentary on ten chapters in the book.

This paper explores the situation when tenants in public houses, in a specific neighborhood, are given the legislated right to buy the houses they live in but can choose to remain in their houses and pay the regulated rent. This type of legislation has been passed in many European countries in the last 30-35 years (U.K. Housing Act 1980 is a leading example). The main objective with this type of l

Most recent publications on spin-related phenomena focus on technological aspects of spin-dependent transport, with emphasis on the specific needs of spintronics. The present publication targets rather fundamental problems related to the physics of spin in solids, such as: manifestation of spin and orbital polarization in spectroscopy, including valence and X-ray photoemission, magneto-optics, low

Om de båda världskrigens betydelse i Östersjömorådet och vilka spår de har avsatt i monument och andra visuella artefakter.

This study deals with a unique crown that was created for Queen Arsinoe II. The aim is to identify and understand the symbolism that is embedded in each pictorial detail that together form the crown and how this reflects the wearer.s socio-political and religious positions. The study focuses on the crown and its details, while also including all contextual aspects of the relief scenes in order to

Målsättningen med detta projekt var att utveckla ett praktiskt och resurssnålt pedagogiskt instrument för att öka den kontinuerliga återkopplingen och studentaktiveringen i stora föreläsningskurser. Ett interaktivt diagnostiskt prov utvecklades, och implementerades sedan i LTH-kursen Miljökemi med 88 studenter. Det anonyma flervalsprovet hade 12 frågor som studenterna fick svara på strax före en f

In this paper we study the problem of unique reconstruction of the quantum graphs. The idea is based on the trace formula which establishes the relation between the spectrum of Laplace operator and the set of periodic orbits, the number of edges and the total length of the graph. We analyse conditions under which is it possible to reconstruct simple graphs containing edges with rationally dependen

Leachate constitutes the main potential long-term environmental risk of landfill emissions. The EU landfill directive 1999/3 I/EC requires minimum monitoring during the active landfill life and the after-care phase. Due to time and resource limitations, monitoring of leachate quality is a compromise between information density and applicability. Samples from passively collected leachate are suspec

As technology continues to advance, the use of computers and the Internet in educational environments has immensely increased. But just how effective has their use been in enhancing children's learning? In this thought-provoking book, Christina E. Erneling conducts a thorough investigation of scholarly journal articles on how computers and the Internet affect learning. She critiques the influentia

This chapter discusses the research project "Heteronormativity: An Interdisciplinary and Empirical Approach", funded by the Swedish Research Council in 2000-2005.

The aim of this article is to propose a syntactic analysis of a dialectal con- struction systematically displaying deletion of the subject, found in spoken south-west Swedish. The deletion appears in certain interrogative subordi- nated clauses and relative clauses, where standard Swedish requires a re- sumptive pronoun, which hence can be left out in the dialectal clause con- struction. The propo
