The structures of sexual networks are essential for understanding the dynamics of sexually transmitted infections. Standard epidemiological models largely disregard the complex patterns of intimate contacts. Social network analysis offers important insight into how to conceptualize and model social interaction and has the potential to greatly enhance the understanding of disease epidemics. (C) 200
In this paper we consider time-division-duplex (TDD) reciprocity calibration of a massive MIMO system. The calibration of a massive MIMO system can be done entirely at the base station (BS) side by sounding the BS antennas one-by-one while receiving with the other BS antennas. With an M antenna BS, this generates M(M - 1) signals that can be used for calibration purposes. In this paper we study se
Föreliggande redogörelse avser en metod och en anordning för utvärdering av en bräda av trä med en ländriktning. Data som indikerar fiberorienteringen över brädans yta inhämtas och för ett antal underpartier hos brädan bestäms en nominell, lokal elasticitetsmodul, MOE, på basis av nämnda fiberorienteringsdata och en nominell materialparameter. En nominell global MOE i längdriktningen för träbrädan
Sphere decoders can approach the performance of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoders for MIMO systems with lower complexity. In this paper, VLSI architecture of the modified K-best Schnorr-Euchner (MKSE) sphere decoder is proposed for soft-output MIMO decoding. The MKSE decoder can achieve near-ML performance with higher decoding throughput and lower computational complexity. The proposed VLSI archite
It is well known that one of the major limitations to achieve good performance in mechanical systems is the presence of friction, which is a nonlinear phenomenon difficult to model. In a recent paper Canudas and co-workers proposed to represent it with a nonlinear dynamical model. The friction compensation problem with this model is stymied by the fact that the parameters are uncertain and some of

Efficient design of urban drainage systems is based on statistical analysis of past rainfall events at fine time scales. However, fine time scale rainfall data are usually lacking in many parts of the world. A possible way forward is to develop methods to derive fine time scale rain intensities from daily observations. This paper applied cascade-based disaggregation modeling for generation of fine
The protein biomarker vitellogenin in fish is discussed alongside alterative strategies for monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals. The first objective was to find a cheap, robust and generic method for the quantification of vitellogenin. A new sample preparation method was developed for the indirect quantification of vitellogenin through alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) with final analysis usi
Narrowband radio transmitters like radio amateurs and broadcast radio stations are considered to be a serious problem for high-bitrate data transmission over twisted pairs. Due to its high power level, radio frequency interference (RFI) has the potential of overloading the receiver's analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Once the ADC is in saturation, any countermeasure taken in the digital domain wi
