An expurgation upper bound on the probability of corret path loss for time-invariant convolutional codes
In this paper list decoding of convolutional codes is considered. List decoding is a very powerful, low complexity, non-backtracking decoding method that does not fully exploit the error correcting capability of the code. A correct path loss is a serious kind of error event that is typical for list decoding. An expurgated upper bound on the probability of correct path loss is derived for the ensem
Is anti-corruption an imperialist plot? Transparency International and development assistance
Over the last decade the anti-corruption movement, led by the Berlin-based NGO Transparency International (TI), as grown to include 90 affiliates throughout the world. While pursuing laudable goals to raise awareness about corruption, promulgate and enforce anti-corruption conventions, pursue anti-corruption projects and embarrass corrupt governments thorugh its Corruption Perception Index and Bri
The Use of Prayers as Protection against the Evils of Nature
The paper concerns the issue of how prayers were used by the laity in late medieval Scandinavia. Often prayers were used, not only to communicate with God, but also to avoid fear and illness.
SPAM A LOT: Why SPAM is not (all)unhealthy food-SPAM as political and cultural resistance in Hawaii
The first time I visited, what is sometimes called the last Hawaiian fishing village, Miloli´i, South Kona, on the west coast of the island of Hawaii (The Big Island) in 1998, a villager took me out for fishing. We had a pretty decent catch of tuna that morning, she told me. Back to the house my newly found friends were soon preparing for a wonderful lunch with fresh tuna. Or, so I thought. To my
Speed Regulation by in-car active Accelerator pedal – effects on speed and speed distribution
The effects on speeds and speed distribution were studied in a large scale field trial with an in car system for speed adaptation in the city of Lund, Sweden. In the trial 290 vehicles were equipped with an "active accelerator pedal" and data logger for a period of 3-11 months. Data was logged in each test vehicle during the whole trial and was analyzed for 3 one-month periods: Before activating t

The Processing Cost of Negation in Sentence Comprehension
A comparison of technologies for carbon neutral passenger transport
In this study, the use of energy carriers based on renewable energy sources in battery-powered electric vehicles (BPEVs), fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) is compared regarding energy efficiency, emission and cost. There is the potential to double the primary energy compared with the current level by utilising vehi
Statically checked documentation with design patterns
Over the past years, along with the increase in popularity of design patterns, some problems with the use of design patterns have been identified. The so-called tracing problem describes the difficulty in documenting software systems using design patterns. Initial approaches to solving the tracing problem have focused on guidelines for documenting design pattern roles and rules within a system, bu
Antennas and Propagation for the Ear-to-Ear Propagation Channel for Binaural Hearing Aids
We have investigated the possibility of using the 2.45 GHz ISM band for communication between binaural hearing aids. The preliminary investigations were done by FDTD simulations on a modified SAM phantom head, where we have included a simple model of the ear canal. Two different types of hearing aid placements have been investigated: in the outer ear and in the ear canal. Antennas which have been
Hur ser pilgrimens värld ut? En sociologisk analys av Hans-Erik Lindströms pilgrimsteologi
This article analyses and discusses the world view and the theology of Hans-Erik Lindström, author of several pilgrimage books and the founder of the Pilgrim’s Centre in Vadstena. Lindström’s pilgrimage theology is based upon seven keywords: slowness, freedom, simplicity, silence, light-heartedness, sharing and spirituality. These are assumed to be the pilgrim’s longings that can not be found in t

Rock art, trade routes, and languages in prehistoric Amazonia: Exploring correlations through GIS
The aim of this paper is to investigate how Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping of materialized aspects of human culture in pre-conquest Amazonia can increase our understanding of the distribution of indigenous languages and ethno-linguistic entities. The main objective of the project is to build a GIS database for correlating geography, linguistics, material culture (e.g., ceramic style
