This paper intends to offer an overview of current knowledge in practical moisture safety in wood frame house. Books, journal articles, reports and other documents at different levels regarding moisture and moisture safety in different aspects are summarized. Possible gaps and flaws in existing knowledge, such as, lack of blind verifications of moisture safety calculation tools, the need to separa

The thermodynamic properties of single chain polyelectrolyte and protein models are studied using Monte Carlo simulations and (for the polyelectrolyte models) variational calculations and high- and low-temperature expansions. A variational method is used for minimizing Lennard-Jones energies and for estimating end-to-end distances for a rigid Coulomb chain at finite temperatures. A polyelectrolyte

Enterprise Systems Implementation Methodology (ESIM) is considered to be a critical factor for successful Enterprise Systems (ES) implementations. In spite of ESIM’s potential and significance for practice, little attention has been paid to this object of study in ES literature. Moreover, current studies reveal contradictory findings and provide a fragmented understanding. The purpose of this pape

This paper studies a newly developing relationship of closer collaboration between a buyer and supplier of a low complexity product, which cannot be considered strategic but of high volume, in the grocery retailing industry, The reason for studying this relationship is that the buyer has decided to go through with is program aimed at establishing is closer relationship with the supplier in the ca

In this paper, a implementation of an OFDM synchronization algorithm is presented. Both time and frequency offsets are estimated simultaneously, using the cyclic prefix. The algorithm is implemented on a commercial DSP, an FPGA and as an ASIC. It is shown that although the algorithm is too complex to be implemented on a standard DSP, a hardware architecture that is optimized for the algorithm can

Skandaler genererar ett intensivt moraliskt indignerat socialt klimat. Inte sällan innefattar skandalerna en form av medierättegångar, vilket korrigerar Foucaults teser om det dolda straffet. För de anklagade, som uppfattar sig som orättvist utpekade, kan konsekvenserna bli drastiska, samtidigt som de har svårt att återupprätta sitt anseende. I denna artikel diskuteras sådana "skandaloffers" kamp.

The lichen flora of the Nordic countries, containing about 2000 species, is regarded as one of the best known in the world. Lichenological research of the region has been continuous since the days of Erik Acharius (1757–1819), the ”father of lichenology”, but it is a sad fact that there is no modern flora treatment of the region's impressive lichen flora, the last attempt in the 1870s being that o
