The existence of traveling waves for the original Whitham equation is investigated. This equation combines a generic nonlinear quadratic term with the exact linear dispersion relation of surface water waves on finite depth. It is found that there exist small-amplitude periodic traveling waves with sub-critical speeds. As the period of these traveling waves tends to infinity, their velocities approac

This paper derives physical limitations on the interactions of antennas exciting TM or TE modes (but not both) and wireless propagation channels. The derivation is based on the spherical vector wave expansion of the electromagnetic field outside a sphere circumscribing the antennas. The result is an extension of the seminal work of Chu on the classical limitations on maximum antenna gain and radia

De största invandringsvågorna till Sverige har sammanfallit med de epoker då riket utvecklats allra mest. Historien ger oss inga rimliga skäl att betrakta immigration som ett problem – tvärtom kan dess betydelse för vårt välstånd knappast överskattas.

Gastric bypass (GBP) has been the most common surgical way to treat obesity and its comorbidities. Late abdominal pain may occur by gastro-jejunal ulcers, gallstones, internal herniation or, rarely, intussusception. In an area with more than 1000 GBPs performed yearly, three patients with primary small bowel volvulus causing abdominal pain and requiring emergency or semi-urgent surgery were identi

For evaluation of specific antenna arrangements in wireless communication systems we need physical channel models that take into account the directional domain. Here we propose a practical approach to wireless channel modeling in, particularly, mobile communication systems, by using an assumption that the channel can be divided into separate parts or regions that can be treated and modeled individ

I arbete och umgänge med människor med någon form av kognitivt funktionshinder har bilder och symboler använts länge. Syftet med denna rapport om digitala bilders betydelse för personer med kognitiva funktionshinder är att visa på att det finns en utbredd användning av digitala bilder inom skola, vård och omsorg, och att det finns mycket kunnande inom området. Jag hoppas också att rapporten ska tj

Laser spectroscopy of free atoms has been pursued for 25 years starting in the visible region and with a constant thrust towards shorter wavelengths. A review of generation schemes and atomic-physics experiments in the short-wavelength region is given. Processes in ions and inner shells occur on a very fast timescale setting special demands on the sources. Using picosecond laser technology efficie

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra kapitel. Efter det inledande kapitlet används i kapitel två och tre ekonomiska experiment för att undersöka hur deltagare fördelar ett överskott mellan sig då det finns två fokalpunkter. Kapitel fyra undersöker huruvida en penningpolitisk störning har asymmetriska effekter på de svenska länens sysselsättning. I kapitel två, samförfattat med This thesis consists of two parts. The first part uses economic experiments to investigate how participants choose to divide a surplus in the presence of competing focal points. The second part examines whether a monetary policy shock has asymmetric regional effects. Chapter 2 suggests a simple separation mechanism based on heterogeneity among subjects to understand how they choose equilibrium wh

Biomarker discovery is dependent upon two disciplines: the field of clinical bioanalysis linked to disease aetiology and the application of high level technology platforms for identifying proteins/peptides in complex samples. However, diagnostic biomarker measurements require certain definitions of context that can only be achieved by combining protein science with clinical science. The evaluation
