We present an estimate for the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann iteration for the discretized unsteady transmission problem. Specifically, we consider the coupling of two heat equations on two identical squared domains. The Laplacian is discretized by second order central finite differences and the implicit Euler method is used for the time discretization. For the semidiscrete case, Hensh

During the 1990s several kinds of reorganization has taken place in public services in Sweden. Reorganizations according to the idea of market economy have been most salient and debated. In many municipalities private companies have started to organize home care service for elderly, financed by tax. Public home care organizations have reorganized the working organization and managing structure, pa

To meet the desirable characteristic for sample preparation in contemporary, i. e. automation, high enrichment, clean-up, selectivity and essential solvent free techniques, the use of non-porous membrane extraction techniques is addressed. Principles, practices and province of the techniques are described as well as hyphenation with separation techniques. Furthermore, works in the thesis covers

The new contacts with the west reaffirmed the idea of interaction between the west and the Arab world. New literary works compared and contrasted the spirituality of the East with the materialism of the West - a theme that became a common one in modern Arabic literature.

Sikhism är i Sverige en liten religion med uppskattningsvis ett tusental anhängare. I det svenska samhället har sikherna främst uppmärksammats i samband med konflikter om deras symbolbruk av turban och dolk. Kapitlet behandlar några av de utmaningar som sikher möter i relationen med majoritetssamhället och reflekterar över hur de svenska sikherna har rekonstruerat och anpassat sitt religiösa liv t

A review of the literature is presented. Congenital renal and urinary tract anomalies are described, and the possible consequences of detecting them in utero are discussed. Prenatal detection of lethal anomalies affords the parents the option of terminating the pregnancy. If termination of pregnancy is not an acceptable option for the parents, the antenatal knowledge of lethal fetal anomaly helps

Southern Africa suffers from an acute lack in skilled capacities for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The region, with its unique disaster risk profile, is mostly bound by its inability to effect change and transformation for sustainable development and resilience building. Reasons for these limitations are largely due to the lack of capacities in disaster risk reduction with

Kapitlet redogör för forskningen om den personlighetspsykologiska forskningen om religiositet.

Cykelstråket mellan Malmö och Lund har varit försökssträcka när det gäller möjligheten och lämpligheten av att anlägga vindskydd utefter vindutsatta cykelvägar. Intervjuer visade att vinden var det dominerande problemet tillsammans med osäkerhet vid korsande av bilvägen. Ett problem för cyklisterna är att medvind inte kompenserar helt energiförlusten för motvinden i andra riktningen. Hastighetsmät

Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålbehandling är en av de vanligaste behandlingarna mot cancer. Hälften av alla behandlingar syftar till att bota patienten från sjukdomen, men strålbehandling är även en mycket effektiv behandling för att lindra smärta och andra symptom för patienter med en obotlig cancer. Förberedelse inför strålbehandling är en komplicerad procedur, som innefattar många olika teknPreparation for radiotherapy is a complex procedure that involves many different technologies and groups of professionals. The rapid development and introduction of new technologies throughout the last decade have made it possible to deliver highly conformal, individually-shaped dose distributions with high accuracy. However, there is widespread concern that current quality assurance practices hav
