In December 1984 poisonous gas leaked out from the Bopal plant in India. Some 1700 people were killed and more than 200.000 people injured. The accident led to criminal proceedings under Indian law. In parallel securities suits and stockholders derivative suits were initiated in USA. Of major concern were the protracted public liability trials. Ambulance chasers have had them referred to USA. Even

The scattering environment in vehicle-to-vehicle communication channels at 5.2 GHz changes rapidly. Hence the wide-sense stationary (WSS) uncorrelated scattering (US) assumption for the fading process is valid for short time intervals only. We characterize the spectral divergence of the local scattering function (LSF) sequence in order to assess the non-WSSUS characteristics in different scenarios

Acoustofluidics utilizes a combination of acoustics, in the form of ultrasound, and microfluidics to manipulate cells and particles. This has proven to be a versatile method that is gentle to the cells. In this thesis acoustofluidics has been used for processing rare cells in continuous flow. Rare cells are within this thesis defined as cells that are present in numbers of 1-1000 per mL in a much

I will present some results from an international project on the introduction of French literature in Scandinavia during the 19th century. A point of departure will be the database BREFS (Bibliographie du Réalisme Français en Scandinavie), containing the translations of novels, short stories, poetic works and theatre plays that were published in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in book

At a large tunnel project in Southern Sweden a number of geoelectrical and IP imaging were carried out. The tunnel is drilled through a horst with a complex geology which includes fractures, high water content and weathered zones. The measurements where carried out to compile a geologic model to use in the further planning of the project. The resistivity and IP complements each other very well sin

I undersökningen analyseras ett stort antal uppgifter om hur hushåll använder energi i hemmet inom olika funktionsområden samt hur fastighetsägare ser på hushållen som energikunder och hur hushållen själva ser på energitjänstföretagen och sina möjligheter att spara energi. Ett viktigt syfte var att kartlägga i vilken mån allmänt rekommenderade beteenden för att spara energi hemma förekommer blan

A correct design of controllers must necessarily account for the schedule of the controller task over the processor. Existing design techniques are based on the assumption that there is no delay, or the delay is constant over time. However, in practice, almost all controllers have time-varying delay, hence invalidating this assumption. In this paper, we introduce a period design policy, in which t
