Public administration developments in post-Soviet Central Asia

In the West, everybody is now talking about the economic and financial crisis. The term ‘’crisis” has become a buzzword within both academic and policy communities. There is an enormous upsurge of scholarly interest in the effects of this crisis on public administration systems, and the role that public administration plays in these processes. The underlying belief is that the public administratio

Forward scattering properties of periodic metamaterials

Forward scattering measurements of periodic metamaterials are investigated. A sum rule for forward scattering is derived using the optical theorem and analytic properties of Herglotz functions. It shows that the absorbed and scattered power over all wavelengths from a periodic metamaterial is related to the static polarizability per unit cell. The theoretical results are verified by a parallel pla

Improving initial xylose metabolism in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The aim of the thesis is to improve the initial steps of xylose metabolism in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae takes up xylose of poor affinity by means of hexose transporters. Metabolic control analysis was used to investigate whether the low xylose utilisation rate is due to inefficient transport. Xylose transport was found to have little control over the aerobic xylose utili

The Thule Society

The Thule Society was a secret brotherhood where Hitler and the other pioneers of German National Socialism first met in Munich in 1919-20.

Observer Backstepping for Nonlinear Drive Control

This paper addresses the control problem of a specially designed nonlinear actuator intended for use in legged robots and other related mechatronic devices. Use of this drive could considerably increase energy efficiency and the time of autonomous robot operation. Nevertheless, the highly nonlinear model of the actuator and the unavailability of part of the state for measurement pose considerable
