Reconsidering the Carpet Paradigm

Carpets have been important motives in the visual arts since the Renaissance (Holbein, Lotto, Vermeer), and they were especially made prominent through 19th century Orientalism (Delacroix, Gérôme, Cézanne). The influence on painters and writers was thorough and the carpet, now more than just a motive, became a model and instrument for images. This tendency was termed the “carpet paradigm” by Josep

Household food waste management – Evaluations of current status and potential improvements using life-cycle assessment methodology

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svenska lägenhetshushåll genererar i snitt 2.8-3.4 kg matavfall per vecka. Allt fler svenska kommuner har under senare år valt att införa separat insamling och biologisk behandling av matavfall. Den främsta anledningen till detta var det miljömål som syftade till att 35 % av matavfallet från hushåll, restauranger och storkök enligt riksdagens miljömål skulle behandlas bAn increased understanding of the world’s limited resources and the negative environmental impacts connected to solid waste management has in recent years increased interest in separate collection and treatment of organic waste in many parts of the world. As an example, increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (

Validation of the physiological model of sleeping bags defined in EN13537 (2002)

Abstract in UndeterminedIn this study, we validated comfort and limit temperatures of four sleeping bags with different levels of insulation defined according to EN 13537. Six male subjects and four female subjects underwent totally 20 two-hour exposures in four sleeping bags at four intended testing temperatures: 11.2, 3.8, 2.1 and -9.0 °C. The subjective perceptions and physiological responses o

Evaluation of trellis termination strategy for turbo codes in UMTS

This input document proposes a trellis termination startegy for turbo codes in UMTS. The proposal is based upon the fact that the extrinsic information used in the decoding of turbo codes mitigates the effect of a truncated trellis, and that this mitigating effect can be enhanced by imposing certain restrictions on the interleaver design. The simulation parameters used in the comparison bewteen di

Structure and function of microbial communities in constructed wetlands - influence of environmental parameters and pesticides on denitrifying bacteria

This thesis addresses the interactions and relationships between natural aquatic bacterial communities, environmental parameters, anthropogenic chemicals and the denitrification pathway in the habitat of agricultural constructed wetlands. The main aim was to gain fundamental knowledge of the drivers behind the processes of the denitrification (i.e. nitrogen removal) in constructed wetlands, hence,
