This paper investigates an allocation rule that fairly assigns at most one indivisible object and a monetary compensation to each agent, under the restriction that the monetary compensations do not exceed some exogenously given upper bound. A few properties of this allocation rule are stated and the main result demonstrates that the allocation rule is coalitionally strategy-proof.

Summary form only given. When designing symmetric ciphers, security and performance are of utmost importance. When selecting a symmetric encryption algorithm, the first choice is whether to choose a block cipher or a stream cipher. Most modern block ciphers offer a sufficient security and a reasonably good performance. But a block cipher must usually be used in a "stream cipher" mode of operation,

A binary mixture model for soils has been formulated and analyzed. In the model one of the constituents is soil and the other constituent an incompressible liquid. The effects of water are included by formulating a mixture model is formulated as an extension of an existing non-associated elasto-plastic material model for granular materials. This paper is focused on the balance of momentum equation

We have recently reported that the inner layers of the arteries, the intima-media complex, of common carotid artery, move as much in the longitudinal direction as in the radial direction, during the cardiac cycle. In order to study this phenomenon we have developed a high-resolution ultrasonic method that can simultaneously record both the longitudinal and the radial movements of the arterial wall

Popular Abstract in Swedish Min avhandling är en s.k. sammanläggningsavhandling och innehåller fyra delarbeten (I-IV), vilka alla är publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter. I delarbetena redovisas undersökningar av två enzymer, hormonkänsligt lipas (HKL) och proteinkinas B (PKB). HKL är ett sedan länge välkänt enzym, vars huvudsakliga uppgift är att spjälka fett (triglycerider) som lagras i fettcHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and protein kinase B (PKB) are enzymes that in different ways are associated with lipid metabolism. While HSL is the well-known lipolytic enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerols in adipose tissue, PKB is a recently identified serine/threonine protein kinase, ubiquitously expressed and involved in signal transduction pathways induced by insulin an

The amount of electrical loads and the complexity of the electric system in a vehicle is increasing at the same time as the allowed development time is decreasing. Possibilities to predict the electromagnetic behaviour is therefore of great importance. This paper addresses the problems of low frequency electromagnetic crosstalk between cables in a harness. Analytical expressions for estimation of

This paper suggests that the Payne models should not properly be regarded as the traffic flow analog of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics. Further, the Chapman-Enskog asymptotic expansion in a small parameter is shown to lead to an alternate class of models that seem to have a more legitimate claim to that distinction. Details of this expansion, about the stable-flow equilibria of the
