The issuance of building permits is a crucial process for urban development in accordance with the law and sustainability goals. Building permits in Europe involve a complex tapestry of processes, regulations, and methodologies. Despite its critical role in shaping the urban landscape, detailed investigations of building permitting process have been scarce. This gap in knowledge not only hinders t
In the manufacturing industry, a major concern persists—the historical entanglement of this sector with environmental issues. Climate change and resource depletion cast a shadow over traditional practices, demanding a paradigm shift. As our planet grapples with these challenges, the imperative for sustainable manufacturing practices becomes undeniable. Futuristic Technology for Sustainable Manufac
The molar mass and theological properties of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 were investigated. The molar mass was determined by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multiangle light scattering and refractive index detection. The EPS was observed to be a flexible chain polymer with a molar mass value of 4 x 10(6) g mol(-1). Heating the sample at 80 degre
This paper provides a coherent review of district heating in Denmark, exploring past, present and future perspectives. Danish district heating is known as unique internationally in terms of heat planning strategies, technical solutions and combinations, energy efficiency and sustainability, ownership models and financing, and it has captured the attention of district heating communities and stakeh
Researchers have asked for practical examples of collaborative supply chain initiatives like VMI and how they are designed. Especially cases in other industrial settings than retail are rare. One important question to answer is how well these initiatives are working in other settings and how they could be designed to improve supply chain efficiency. The objective of this paper is to give a descrip
The 1990s were significant for several events promoting environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. For instance, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, which stressed the need to stop the overconsumption of natural resources and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change endorsed a framework to combat climate change. Si
Syftet med denna studie är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer undersöka och fördjupa kunskapen om hur före detta kriminella kvinnor framställer sig själva. Studien undersöker genom kvinnornas livsberättelser även vilka faktorer som har lett dem till kriminalitet. Genom det empiriska materialet har fyra teman valts för att analysera de kriminella kvinnornas berättelser: "utanförskap", stigm
This paper builds on the empirical studies that have investigated the relationship between fiscal policies and the current account balance. Fiscal balances have been the most notable proxies for fiscal policies in these studies but also the general public expenditure has been considered. Drawing on this inspiration, this paper analyses the empirical relationship between military expenditures and t
As climate change have become generally accepted as a potential problem, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and global energy demand has become an important research topic. This have led to an increased interest towards the retrofitting of the existing building stock, including cultural protected buildings. Due to the cultural protection, carrying out major alteration such as exterior wall retr
The effect of friction between the dowel and the surrounding timber was studied for single dowel-type joints. The joints tested were divided into two groups of joints, where the surface of the dowels differed. For the first group, the dowels had a smooth surface and for the second group the dowels had a rough surface. A contactfree measurement technique was used in the experimental investigatio
Information about genetic variation has been collected for some 20 years into registries, known as locus specific databases (LSDBs), which nowadays often contain information in addition to the actual genetic variation. Several issues have to be taken into account when considering establishing and maintaining LSDBs and these have been discussed previously in a number of articles describing guidelin
The Internet is a huge world-wide packet switching network comprised of more than 13,000 distinct subnetworks, referred to as Autonomous Systems (ASs) . They all rely on the Internet Protocol (IP) for transport of packets across the network. And most of them use shortest path routing protocols , such as OSPF or IS-IS, to control the routing of IP packets within an AS. The idea of the routing is ex
Purpose – This paper aims to explore the potential of ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) to incorporate the direct printing of electrical materials and arrangements (conductors and insulators) at the interlaminar interface of parts during manufacture to allow the integration of functional and optimal electrical circuitries inside dense metallic objects without detrimental effect on the overal
Volume 2: Religious Places, Practices, and RelationsThis handbook, divided into four volumes, presents the first English translations of newspaper articles about the Sikhs published in the weekly press reports for Punjab between 1864 and 1924. Covering press material from over 300 newspapers, the book provides insights into the broader landscape of print media in Indian languages and how discussioAfter the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the colonial administration in British India introduced stricter control over Indian publishers and the press printed in various indigenous languages. Newspapers in the Punjab were monitored and scrutinized from 1864 to understand “native opinions” and identify seditious tendencies. The surveillance resulted in extensive weekly press reports that were considered

Industry 4.0, with its focus on flexibility and customizability, is pushing in the direction of wireless communication in future smart factories, in particular, massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and its future evolution of large intelligent surfaces (LIS), which provide more reliable channel quality than previous technologies. At the same time, network slicing in 5G and beyond systems
Grammatical asymmetries in possessive constructions are overtly coded in about 18% of the world’s languages according to the World Atlas of Language Structures (Dryer & Haspelmath, 2013). What primarily motivates these grammatical asymmetries is controversial and has been at the crux of the “iconicity vs. frequency” debate (e.g. Croft, 2008; Haiman, 2008; Haspelmath, 2008). This paper contribu
In this paper, we study event-based PID control from an optimal stochastic control perspective. The purpose is to better understand what implementation features are critical for achieving good event-based PID performance. For this end, we formulate an LQG control design problem for a double integrator process with an integral disturbance, where the solution is an ideal PID controller. We then cons
