Smart card data and survey data have different characteristics, which combined have the potential to enrich the total level of information as well as to reduce inherent biases in each dataset. This paper describes a fruitful procedure to use survey data from a smartphone application-based travel survey with prompted recall to validate data from smart card transactions in the same geographical area

In this paper we study the scalability issue in the design of a centralized policy server controlling resources in the future IP-based telecom network generation. The policy servers are in charge of controlling and managing QoS, security and mobility in a centralized way in future IP-based telecom networks. Our study demonstrates that the policy servers can be designed in such a manner that they s

The mean effective gain (MEG) for Rice distributed signals impinging at the terminal receiver antenna is presented. Numerical results are presented for three different angular probability distributions of impinging waves. Finally, it is shown that contrary to the Rayleigh channels in Ricean channels there is no inclination angle at which the MEG of the half-wave dipole antenna remains constant reg

We present a novel texture compression scheme, called iPACKMAN, targeted for hardware implementation. Interms of image quality, it outperforms the previous de facto standard texture compression algorithms in the majority of all cases that we have tested. Our new algorithm is an extension of the PACKMAN texture compressionsystem, and while it is a bit more complex than PACKMAN, it is still very low

Global climate change has enormous impacts on urban areas in the developing world. The known and growing effects of climate change, like increased temperatures and increased incidence of severe storms, is evident. This winter, 2015, extreme cold waves and snow storms hit the Middle East region. Death rates in Syrian refugee camps were significant due to inefficient temporary shelters. Children and

Texten handlar om de planer på att bygga om den så kallade Öresundspaviljongen vid brofästet utanför Malmö till ett exklusivt hotell som stadens kommunpolitiker umgicks med under ett par år i början av 2000-talet. Texten beskriver ett tidigt stadium i ett hotells historia; de visioner och planer som föregår det fysiska hotellet och förhoppningsvis lever kvar i byggnaden efter det att geografiska,

People with severe physical disabilities need help with everyday tasks, such as getting dressed, eating, brushing their teeth, scratching themselves, drinking, etc. They also need support to be able to work. They are usually helped by one or more personal
