This paper proposes a system for dynamic speed adaptation in adverse conditions, such as wet/slippery roads, decreased visibility, darkness and sharp curves. Accident risks increase drastically in such conditions, especially since drivers often do not adapt speeds to lower friction or impaired visibility. Thus, the discussion is centred around a method for calculating the appropriate highest speed
Companies spend a lot of attention and resources on something commonly referred to as ‘risk management’. Despite its apparent importance and intuitive appeal, corporate risk management is fraught with many difficulties, both on the conceptual and practical level. This may partly be explained by the fact that the role of risk management in increasing firm value is not very clear-cut. A contributing

The average charged track multiplicity and the normalised distribution of the scaled momentum, xp, of charged final state hadrons are measured in deep-inelastic ep scattering at high Q2 in the Breit frame of reference. The analysis covers the range of photon virtuality Click to view the MathML source. Compared with previous results presented by HERA experiments this analysis has a significantly hi
Fluorescence spectroscopy in two different biomedical applications have been studied. One field has been to explore whether fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to determine the depth of a fluorescent object inside a tissue-like medium. Recorded fluorescence spectra depend on the localisation of the fluorescent inclusion and may provide additional information for optical tomography. The second ma
A hierarchical multi-scale model that couples a region of material described by discrete dislocation plasticity to a surrounding region described by conventional crystal plasticity is presented. The coupled model is aimed at capturing non-classical plasticity effects such as the long-range stresses associated with a density of geometrically necessary dislocations and source limited plasticity, whi
Previous research has consistently found demographic responses to grain price fluctuations in preindustrial Europe, both at macro and micro level. Grain prices serve as a summary measure of the workings of the preindustrial economy, reflecting not only local harvest conditions but trade patterns and market integration. All over preindustrial Europe the manorial estate was an important institution
