This paper addresses the problem of distributed Kalman filtering, with focus on limiting the required communication bandwidth. By distributed we refer to a scenario when all nodes in the network desire an estimate of the full state of the observed system and there is no centralized computation center. Communication only takes place between neighbors and only a fixed number of times each sample. To
In this work, we present a novel self-aligned gate-last fabrication process for vertical nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The fabrication method allows for exposure dose-defined gate lengths and a local diameter reduction of the intrinsic channel segment, while maintaining thicker highly doped access regions. Using this process, InAs nanowire transistors combining good
Bird colour vision is mediated by single cones, while double cones and rods mediate luminance vision in bright and dim light, respectively. In daylight conditions, birds use colour vision to discriminate large objects such as fruit and plumage patches, and luminance vision to detect fine spatial detail and motion. However, decreasing light intensity favours achromatic mechanisms and eventually, in
The ForSAFE-VEG model was used to estimate atmospheric nitrogen deposition and climate effects on soil chemistry and ground vegetation in alpine and subalpine zones of the northern and central Rocky Mountains region in the USA from 1750 to 2500. Model simulations for a generalized site illustrated how the critical load of atmospheric nitrogen deposition could be estimated to protect plant biodiver
Massive black holes have been discovered in all closely examined galaxies with high velocity dispersion. The case is not as clear for lower-dispersion systems such as low-mass galaxies and globular clusters. Here we suggest that above a critical velocity dispersion similar to 40 km s(-1), massive central black holes will form in relaxed stellar systems at any cosmic epoch. This is because above th
The paper is based on a general conceptual supply chain flow risk model developed in an earlier paper, a literature review and case studies. The paper has the title "Developing a supply chain risk model" and is reported as a final paper at the NOFOMA 2005 conference. The literature review has been focusing articles and reports/books on supply chain management. Some of its findings have earlier bee
The Amphorae was a common container for transportation of especially liquid goods in the Greco-Roman world. There are several known production sites of these vessels around the Mediterranean. The shapes of the different amphorae have been amply described and grouped according to different systems. There has also been several works describing the fabric of the vessels and also attempts to link vess
Non-covalently molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for beta(2)-amino acids were prepared for the first time. N-(2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl)-(R)-beta(2)-homophenylalanine (N-2-ClZ-(R)-beta(2)-HPhe)was imprinted with methacrylic acid (MAA) and/or 4-vinylpyridine (4-VPy) as the functional monomers, with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate ( EDMA) as the cross-linker. The MIPs made with different ratios o
Digital elevation models (DEMs) can be captured and analysed by various methods. Elevation capturing with RTK-GPS and airborne laser scanning is presented and evaluated in terms of height accuracy of raw data and interpolated DEMs for study sites in Sweden and Germany. Applications for precision agriculture are based on the connection of land surface and the movement of water in the landscape. Thr
BACKGROUND: The possibility of an association of Graves' disease (GD) with subsequent cancers raised by certain studies. METHODS: Using a database on 18 156 hospitalised GD patients, subsequent cancers were ascertained. RESULTS: Increased risks of thyroid and parathyroid tumours were limited to the early follow-up period, which is probably a surveillance bias. Cancer sites with observed excess inc
Apomorphine is a potent, nonselective, direct-acting dopamine-receptor agonist. Given subcutaneously, it has a rapid onset of antiparkinsonian action qualitatively comparable to that of levodopa. Despite its long history, it was not until peripheral dopaminergic side effects could be controlled by oral domperidone that the clinical usefulness of apomorphine in Parkinson's disease began to be inves
Both spring temperature and date of the first Starling Sturnus vulgaris egg were highly correlated between different study sites and weather stations in the southern half of Sweden. In southern Sweden, but not in northern Sweden, onset of breeding correlated strongly with spring temperature, particularly during the last ten days of April, the period that happens to coincide with the start of breed
Popular Abstract in SwedishVad är barnets bästa i en domstolsprocess? Hur skall barns behov och intressen tillvaratas under utredningsarbete och beslut, och av vem? I vilken utsträckning skall barn få komma till tals, och varför? Under senare år har barns rättsliga ställning inom olika områden tilldragit allt större intresse inom rättsvetenskapen, bland rättstillämpare och hos allmänheten. SverigeThis dissertation deals with the question of the child´s legal status in legal proceedings concerning its own person. Special problems that may arise in investigations concerning the situation of the child and in decisions on measures to be taken in the best interest of the child are also examined. The Care of Young Persons Act (1990:52) constitutes the framework of this study. According to the Ac
Evaluation, prioritization and selection of candidate requirements are of tremendous importance and impact for subsequent software development. Effort, time as well as quality constraints have to be taken into account. Typically, different stakeholders have conflicting priorities and the requirements of all these stakeholders have to be balanced in an appropriate way to ensure maximum value of the
Summary Corporate acquisitions are negotiated during several occasions. If an agreement has not been met, the Swedish sale of goods act is applicable between the parties. The act indicates that the buyer has a duty to investigate the targeted company should the buyer invoke errors therein. An assessment of errors is based on the buyer’s reasonable expectations of the targeted company. The buyer caSammanfattning Överlåtelser av företag är betydelsefulla affärshändelser med förhandlingar i flera omgångar. När inget annat är avtalat tillämpas köplagen som föreskriver en plikt för köparen att undersöka målbolaget, annars riskeras rätten att kunna åberopa fel gå förlorad.

Abstrakt Författare: Edda Sigurbjörg Ingólfsdóttir Titel: Det löser sig Masteruppsats: Socm04/30 hp Handledare: Sara Eldén Sociologiska institutionen, vårterminen 2013 Island var det första landet i världen som delade föräldraledigheten i tre jämna delar och målet med denna individualisering var att ge barn lika tillgång till båda sina föräldrar och att främja jämställdheten både på arbetsmarknad
This master thesis project serves to investigate the possibilities of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) using the example of enthalpy control of the BENSON HRSG (heat recovery steam generator) of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). The general idea of NMPC is to solve an optimization problem, to nd the next control action, and this optimization problem is based on a model of the system. T
The possibility of improving indoor climate in residential buildings in Botswana was examined as the foundation of this Master’s Thesis. Initially articles were studied to gain understanding of previous research in the field as well as to gain understanding of local energy related conditions. Furthermore, a software called TRNSYS was thoroughly studied as this was found to be a powerful tool able
