An L1 adaptive controller of piecewise constant type has been applied to a fighter aircraft by augmenting it to a linear state-feedback controller. Angle of attack and sideslip as well as velocity vector roll rate is demanded and controlled. It is relatively easy to design a controller augmentation this way; few parameters need to be tuned. To design an L1-controller for roll/pitch/yaw-motion of a

This thesis contains two different aspects of my research work towards physics in proton-proton collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The first part is focused on the understanding and developing of a calibration system to obtain the best possible charged particle reconstruction in the Transition Radiation Tracker. The method explained in this thesis is the current calibration technique u

Abstract in Norwegian Boken omhandler både kreative metoder som er lite brukt, men som har vist seg å være svært nyttige til bestemte studieformål, og noen av de vanligste og mest brukte metodene i samfunnsvitenskapen. Målet med boken er todelt. For det første å gi en innføring i hver enkelt metode i seg selv. For det andre å vise hvilke muligheter som åpner seg når de ulike metodene kombineres. F

The beam was successfully characterized in air and in phantom using various radiation dosimeter:,. The determination of the thermal neutron and photon components of the mixed beam in phantom can be determined with acceptable uncertainties, while the uncertainty of the high-energy neutron component is considerable but of limited clinical significance. The beam intensity is sufficiently high for rea

On the same stage is a case study showing the co-operation between amateurs and professionals in a play called Bara tusen korta år (Just a Thousand Short Years) by Alf Henrikson (1905-1995). Performances were given in the summers of 1994 ? 1998 in Huskvarna. The amateurs were from Huskvarna while the professionals were employed by the regional theatre in Jönköping. When investigating this project

The former Soviet empire spanned eleven time zones and contained half the world's forests; vast deposits of oil, gas and coal; various ores; major rivers such as the Volga, Don and Angara; and extensive biodiversity. These resources and animals, as well as the people who lived in the former Soviet Union – Slavs, Armenians, Georgians, Azeris, Kazakhs and Tajiks, indigenous Nenets and Chukchi – were

A methodology was developed and tested in six case studies at four medium-sized manufacturing companies within the machine engineering industry. Existing and planned work environments and production processes were described with the aid of computer-generated pictures. The pictures were used within the framework of an action research methodology in which managers and those employees affected, toget

This book chapter is a feminist analysis of Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin.

Popular Abstract in Swedish BAKGRUND Fokus riktas allt mer mot försörjningskedjan och allt mindre mot det enskilda företaget i takt med att konkurrens mellan enskilda företag ersätts av konkurrens mellan försörjningskedjor. Det är emellertid endast det enskilda företaget som kan fatta beslut och vidta åtgärder, men dessa beslut och åtgärder måste idag ske utifrån ett kedjeperspektiv. Med ökat foBackground Today's modern, industrialized society is based on globalization, specialization and mass-production. It is a society dependent upon highly integrated, continuously ongoing supply chain flows. Disruptions in those flows may cause devastating negative consequences, both for the individual company, for the supply chain, and for the society at large. Purpose and objectives The purpose o
