Time-varying wave propagation and time-harmonic wave propagation in biisotropic materials are reviewed and the connection between the formulations is established via the temporal Fourier transform. An alternative method to determine the dispersive properties of a bi-isotropic slab from sinusoidal scattering data at normal incidence is presented. A numerical example (realistic, synthetic scattering

Denna artikel syftar till att kortfattat beskriva utvecklingen av en normvetenskap samt att diskutera betydelsen av normanalyser inom samhällsvetenskap. En av sociologins främsta uppgifter ligger i att studera och förstå handlingar. Särskilt viktigt är studiet av interaktion eller samhandling.

This is one of the most fundamental questions in Economic history and one that has provoked intense debate. The established view, dating back to Adam Smith, is that the gap emerged

An improved understanding of the response of forest ecosystems to elevated levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is crucial because atmospheric CO2 concentration continues to increase at an accelerating rate and forests are an important sink in the global carbon cycle. Several CO2-enrichment experiments have now been running for more than 10 years, with highly variable short-term results after the first

Förutom att vara en uppskattning av Håkan Lundström är detta en bok av intresse för alla som funderar i konstnärliga termer och framför allt i en akademisk miljö. Boken består av en mosaik av idéer om allt möjligtsom ryms under det konstnärliga idéparaplyet och som har något slags anknytning till festföremålet. Utgångspunkten är drongo-fågeln som är en metafor för längtan i kammudiktningen, som haApart from appealing to those who know and appreciate Håkan, this book is likely to interest the artistically inclined, particularly those in an academic environment. It is a mosaic of texts, more than a mere memorial, that allows us to accompany Håkan on a journey to many of the places contained under the artistic umbrella, especially those which happen to have a more intimate connection with our

This article analyses the doctrine of free will (autexousion) in the confessions of St. Peter Mogila and Dositheos II Notaras of Jerusalem. Free will is a central concept in Eastern Christian anthropology and these two monuments of theology represent how the understanding of the concept of free will developed in Eastern Orthodox theology in the context of the confrontation with Western theologies
