Linear-transmitters based on combined analog locked loop universal modulator (CALLUM) architectures are attractive, as they promise both high efficiency and high linearity. To date, it has not been possible to analyze a CALLUM transmitter as a linear feedback network due to the nonlinear nature of the control equations governing it. The main purpose of this paper has been the derivation of a linea
OBJECTIVE - This study investigated the effect of moderate exercise on the absorption of inhaled insulin via the AERx insulin diabetes management system (iDMS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - in this randomized, open-label, four-period crossover, glucose clamp study 23 nonsmoking subjects with type I diabetes received a dose of 0.19 units/kg inhaled human insulin followed in random order by either
Drug-induced dyskinesias (DID) manifested as hyperkinetic and/or dystonic movements or postures are common problems in Parkinson's disease (PD). Novel therapeutic interventions may offer possibilities to counteract these common adverse effects of an otherwise necessary treatment. To be able to evaluate the effects of such interventions on DID, reliable and relevant clinical assessment tools are ne
We have studied the spatial structure and electronic levels of clusters of the molecule CH3Br to investigate the effects of molecular polarity on these properties. Analysis of the core level photoclectron spectra of initially neutral CH3Br clusters shows that the C 1 s(-1) state has a 30% larger binding energy shift between free molecules and clusters than the Br 3d(-1) state. This difference is a
An association between low serum vitamin D levels and poorer melanoma survival has been reported. We have studied inheritance of a polymorphism of the GC gene, rs2282679, coding for the vitamin D-binding protein, which is associated with lower serum levels of vitamin D, in a meta-analysis of 3137 melanoma patients. The aim was to investigate evidence for a causal relationship between vitamin D and
I den svenska rättsordningen anses djur vara lös egendom. Detta innebär att de kan säljas, bytas, överges och till och med dödas, allt enligt ägarens vilja. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vad denna status får för effekter samt om det rättsliga skydd djur har i övrigt är tillräckligt. En följd av att djur räknas som lös egendom är att brott mot djur kan rubriceras som skadegörelse. VidareIn the Swedish legal system animals are considered property. This leads to them being able to be sold, traded, abandoned and even killed, all according to the wishes of the owner. The purpose of this essay is investigating what the effects of this status are, as well as investigating whether the legal protection animals have through Swedish law in other aspects is sufficient. One effect of the f
Syftet med studien är att undersöka den anormala avkastningen hos börsintroduktioner på Stockholmsbörsen, mellan år 2000 och 2011, jämfört med ett relevant branschindex. Författarna undersöker sedan huruvida det finns något signifikant samband mellan ett antal utvalda variabler och erhållen BHAR. Förhoppningen är att studien kan bidra med ny kunskap inom aktuellt område, samt fungera som inspirati
The C99 standard for the C programming language introduced the new type qualifier restrict which acts as a hint for the compiler and the programmer that the specified pointer is not aliased by any other pointer if the pointed object can be modified. By using restrict on pointers the compiler may, if implemented and allowed, optimize code even further. This thesis investigates how well the C compil
Title: A Study of Buyout-, Venture Capital-, and Non-backed IPOs and the Actual Efficiency of Debt Course: NEKH02, Economics: Bachelor Essay - Ekonomie kandidatprogrammet, 15 credits Authors: Ofelia Aspemyr & Rebecka Lundgren Månsson Advisor: Jens Forssbaeck Keywords: Private equity, buyout, venture capital, financial sponsors, initial public offerings, capital structure, long-term IPO per
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur våldtäktsbrottet har förändrats i lagstiftningen under de senaste 100 åren. Jag börjar med att beskriva gällande rätt i 1864 års strafflag, och går sedan igenom de reformer som gjorts av våldtäktsbrottet i brottsbalken fram till vad som stadgas idag i den så kallade samtyckeslagen. Jag beskriver hur lagstiftaren har motiverat sina reformer av brottet o
Today’s dementia care has demonstrated a widespread use of locking devices in the escape routes of the care units. Most commonly code locks. The locking devices are used to prevent wanderers from wandering away from de dementia unit and risk hurting themselves, disappear or even die. On the contrary, the locks themselves may endanger a safe escape in the case of fire as well as it is may violate t
The present quantitative research focuses on studying the effect of uncertainty in online information search related mainly to travel planning. The main emphasis is in the individual and combined effect of these variables towards different demographic segments of international travelers. In order to do so it draws insights from Uncertainty avoidance (Hofstede, 2001) and information foraging theory
Ethical trends across the Western hemisphere of Global Civil Society (GCS) may equal ethics to be out of date, unless it is globalized in, an ethically justifiable manner, which in this paper is called ”ethicalization”. Whether the ethical current can catch momentum with globalizations speed of time, concurrently maintaining consistency is a challenge faced by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), a
The Danish language is a tough language to master, even for native speakers. There are great differences between the orthography and the spoken language – which leads to lots of spelling errors. New trends such as virtual social networks add new aspects to the language and they influence people’s habits and their approach to the Danish language. This paper counts the numbers of different spelling
Kondomanvändning har visats vara ett område som är laddat med många negativa attityder och myter. Ett av de stora problemen som sätter stopp för kondomanvändning är att det anses pinsamt och ger upphov till skam. Genom att ha analyserat två kondomkampanjer, Ligglistan och Knull de Luxe, har slutsatsen dragits att man i dessa aktivt arbetar med att minska skammen kring kondomanvändning. Detta görs
In this study we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the thoughts on interaction and the collaborative work that school counselor’s facing with social services, healthcare, the school faculty and staff. The study is conducted through eight qualitative interviews with school counselors from different schools throughout the city of Malmö. We gathered the empirical material and categorized it in
Purpose: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effect different drivers of agency costs have on corporate cash holdings in public and private German technology firms. The analysis identifies three potential sources of agency costs. By determining target cash levels first and then obtaining deviations from these targets, the influences of agency costs are measurable. Data Set: The sam
To investigate multimodal signals in cat–human communication we recorded 36 cat–owner interactions in everyday situations that were judged by the owners for valence (negative, mixed or positive). We then coded the videos for behaviour using an ethogram including vocal, visual and tactile (multimodal) signals. Vocalisations were segmented and acoustic measures of duration and F0 obtained. In cats,
Thomas Hood’s poem “The Song of the Shirt” was an immediate success when first published in Punch in 1843. Previous research has shown how the poem responded to the mid-nineteenth-century debate concerning the working situation of needlewomen. The ways in which this hugely popular poem was recontextualised in translation have, however, received surprisingly little attention.
