We present a method for evaluating measurements of bianisotropic materials in a waveguide. By solving an eigenvalue problem for a matrix formed from measured S-parameters, propagation constants in the material can be determined from the eigenvalues. The eigenvectors give additional information.

This PhD thesis consists of three separate papers. The common theme is methods to calculate analytical approximations for prices of different contingent claims under various model assumptions. The first two papers deals with approximations of standard European options in stochastic volatility models. The third paper is focused on approximating prices of commodity swaptions in a general model frame

A business analyst who commences an investigation into design requirements for a new work system probably does not ‘label’ her inquiry process as research. However, a research perspective is needed if a productive learning spiral is to be established in which ‘useful’ systems can be created. Systematic, collaborative inquiry adopting an complex, open systems perspective is required in order to est

The 2002/2003 joint masters students’ efforts deal with the general protection of inventions covering such issues as the concepts of industrial application, novelty and inventive step. The students are also i.a. taking a closer look at university inventions and biotechnology aspects such as the cloning of humans, patentability of stem cells, germ line intervention and animal suffering. The discuss

Law and its countless legal, academic, professional and institutional manifestations, all being intrinsically social, fall within the scope of sociological inquiry. It is, therefore, not surprising if some sociologists and jurists have tried to bring the benefits of sociological ideas to legal thought and practice. Introducing sociological insights into law, a feasible and useful project in theory

Open Access definieras som fri, omedelbar, permanent tillgång till vetenskapligt material i fulltext. Redan idag använder sig universiteten av Open Access, och en stor andel forskare anger att de har kännedom om OA. Statistiska Centralbyrån (SCB) har gjort uppskattningen att nära 75% av alla pengar som investeras i svensk forskning kommer från privata företag. Trots detta verkar inte Open Access-dOpen Access (OA) is defined as the free, online, immediate, permanent access to scientific and scholarly material in full-text. Open Access practices have reached the universities and now nearly all university researchers report knowledge of OA. Statistics Sweden (SCB) has estimated that 75% of all money invested in research activities in Sweden is done by private companies. In spite of this, the

Combustion phasing in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine can be achieved by affecting the time history of pressure and temperature in the cylinder. The most common way has been to control the inlet air temperature and thereby the temperature in the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke. However this is a slow parameter to control, especially cycle to cycle. A multi- cy

This study investigates grammatical development in foreign and second language learners of Swedish. The hypothesis is that the hierarchy of processability predicted by Processability Theory (Pienemann 1998) guides both written and spoken learner production. The data was collected from 9 foreign language learners studying Swedish at Melbourne University and 11 second language learners studying Swed

This work focuses on measurement principles based on ultrasound for applications in industrial automation. The measurements made are of geometric nature. The methods used are when possible based on experience and/or inspiration from the study of bats. A platform for ultrasonic measurements, that allows a VME-based host computer to transmit and receive signals, with a considerable flexibility has b
