Multiple scattering by a collection of randomly located obstacles Part I: Theory - coherent fields

Scattering of electromagnetic waves by discrete, randomly distributed objects is addressed. In general, the non-intersecting scattering objects can be of arbitrary form, material and shape. The main aim of this paper is to calculate the coherent reflection and transmission characteristics of a finite or semi-infinite slab containing discrete, randomly distributed scatterers. Typical applications o

Realization of Complex III-V Nanoscale Heterostructures

Low-dimensional III-V semiconductor nanoscale structures grown by epitaxial processes have emerged as a new class of materials with great promise for various device applications. This thesis describes explorations into the heteroepitaxial growth of III-V semiconductor materials in combination with other III-V materials and in combination with the commonly used Si material, in both thin layer and n

Detection of Internal Erosion and Seepage Evaluation Using Resistivity Monitoring

The resistivity method is well suited for dam monitoring as it is non-destructive and easily adapted for long-term monitoring. Measurements detect changes of material properties as well as anomalous variations, which may relate to internal erosion and seepage. However, applying the resistivity method on embankment dams can be challenging. This paper contends with practical use of the resistivity m

Effect of Air Humidification on the Sick Building Syndrome and Perceived Indoor Air Quality in Hospitals: a Four Month Longitudinal Study

The sensation of dryness and irritation is essential in the sick building syndrome (SBS), and such symptoms are common in both office and hospital employees. In Scandinavia, the indoor relative humidity in well ventilated buildings is usually in the range 10-35% in winter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of steam air humidification on SBS and perceived air quality during the heati
