Pattern reconfigurability is a desirable feature of mobile handset antennas, as it enables the antennas to adapt to non-stationary propagation environments. However, it is difficult to vary the radiation pattern of a handset antenna at frequencies below 1 GHz because the entire chassis commonly acts as the main radiator. Hence, designing pattern reconfigurability based on the antenna element (seco

In the module allocation problem a collection of software modules are to be assigned to physical processing nodes, subject to execution and communication cost. The cost of an allocation is a function of the execution costs and the communication costs for any pair of modules allocated to distinct processors. The module allocation problem has been well studied and is known to be NP-complete except f

This paper is a study of women in Belfast in two working-class ethno-national communities: Falls (Catholic/Nationalist/Republican) and Shankill (Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist). Theories of gendered nationalism and transversalism are used to analyze the material from a qualitative interview study. The study focuses on intersections of gender and nation: women’s identity as biological, cultural and n

In my analysis of recent revisions to Swedish school policy texts, I look for traces of this relationship, reading school policy texts as the materialization of notions of national belonging. For this analysis, I engage discussions that question the secularity of secularism and critique notions of futurity and universal childhood.

The Marieberg porcelain factory, situated on the island of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, existed between 1758 and 1788. The aim of this study has been to investigate the manufacture of tiled stoves at Marieberg. The first question I wanted to answer was: how many were actually produced? The few documents from the period that have survived show that Marieberg must have had continuous production of tile

Background: While atomoxetine is an established treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, few studies have examined its efficacy for adults. Methods: Open-label trial of atomoxetine in 20 individuals with ADHD, aged 19-47 years, for 10 weeks, and a total of one year for responders. Results: Ten patients met primary efficacy criteria at 10 weeks. Only one patient co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Min avhandling består av sex delarbeten som redovisar olika undersökningar av ett värmestabilt enzym (xylanas). Detta enzym är isolerat från en bakterie (Rhodothermus marinus) som lever i varma källor (vid 55-77 °C) och enzymet förväntas alltså fungera vid dessa temperaturer. Enzymets uppgift i bakterien är att förse den med lagom långa kolhydratmolekyler som bakterien A gene encoding a multidomain xylanase from the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus has been cloned, sequenced and produced in Escherichia coli . The gene product was found to be a 109 kDa protein consisting of five domains. The catalytic domain and the two polysaccharide binding domains (PBD, previously called carbohydrate binding domains) have been cloned and produced separately for func

The Zeeman interaction in low-dimensional III-V semiconductor nanostructures is studied. The effective g-value of bulk InGaAs is measured by two different spin resonance techniques. Experimental conditions were found to control the Overhauser effect, thus enabling a highly accurate determination of the g-value, g* = -4.070 ± 0.005, being a prerequisite for theoretical modeling of low-dimensional

Denna FoU-rapport ger dig en introduktion och översiktlig beskrivning av The Tree Theme Method® (TTM), en strukturerad och klientcentrerad metod. TTM är avsedd att användas av arbetsterapeuter efter fördjupad teoretisk och praktisk kurs (ges bland annat i FSAs regi). Metoden används huvudsakligen på klienter inom psykiatrisk vård men även klienter inom primärvård och smärtrehabilitering kan ha nyt
