What if, in the encounter between the subject and the city, it is the buildings, the streets, the rooms that are moving and the human beings who are at a standstill? Inspired by the efforts of literary scholars and human geographers to apply a unified understanding of space and time to the study of the (fictional) city, this article employs an analysis centered on the figure of the elevator to exp
Electrification of many industries using off-road high power machines presents several problems. In order to analyse the viability of different solutions the logistics, machine operation and power management have to be analysed. In this paper a model is presented that in a novel way combines these problems into a complete system model that can be optimized on several levels. Complex charging schem
Resource utilization is a very central issue in the development of large-volume embedded systems. Increasingly complex execution platforms for embedded multimedia systems challenge the prevailing approach of achieving high utilization by carefully tuned implementations in C and assembly language. The recently started ACTORS project addresses resource utilization by providing appropriate high-level
A multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) dual-band antenna system consisting of two elements, each of which built up of circularly polarized slotted patch antenna for mm-wave band 5G wireless handheld and portable terminals is described. Space diversity is used to achieve a good independent channel fading in MIMO systems. In theoretical analysis of MIMO systems often assume that each antenna is iso
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in European healthcare systems, with a significant proportion of COVID-19 cases being managed on an outpatient basis in primary healthcare (PHC). To alleviate the burden on healthcare facilities, many European countries developed contact-tracing apps and symptom checkers to identify potential cases. As the pandemic evolved, the European Un
Migration represents a major transformation of the lives of those involved and has been transformative of societies and economies globally. Yet models of sustainability transformations do not effectively incorporate the movement of populations. There is an apparent migration-sustainability paradox: migration plays a role as a driver of unsustainability as part of economic globalisation, yet simult
