The UWB circular disc monopole (CDM) antenna has been previously used for positioning applications. But at higher frequencies, its pattern does not remain omnidirectional in azimuth and it tends to shift upward. We propose new structures for both monopole radiator and ground plane to yield an antenna with a stabilized radiation pattern. Comparing the main lobe characteristics of the proposed and C
This work concerns an experimental study of pressure drop and heat transfer for turbulent flow inside a U-duct. Such duct geometries can be found in many engineering applications where cooling air extracts heat from hot internal walls of the duct, e.g., passage cooling inside gas turbine blades. Both friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficients were measured inside a U-duct for three
This edition of The Life of Saint Bathilde consists of four different versions in prose. All the authors of the versions are anonymous. The first version is preserved in three manuscripts; this edition is based on Paris, Bibl. Nat. ms. fr. 23112, which was copied by a Picardian scribe in the thirteenth century. The edition of the second version, preserved in four manuscripts, is based on Paris, Bi

The structure and motion problem of multiple one- dimensional projections of a two-dimensional environment is studied. One-dimensional cameras have proven useful in several different applications, most prominently for autonomous guided vehicles, but also in ordinary vision for analysing planar motion and the projection of lines. Previous results on one-dimensional vision are limited to classifying
This paper presents the first results of analyzing the functions of intonation and word order in Puyuma. Puyuma is an endangered Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan. As other languages of this branch, Puyuma is verb initial and displays variations in word order, so that VOS, SVO and VSO are attested. The aim of our study is to explain these word variations. We investigate the connection between
This unique collection of essays has been compiled in honour of Professor Göran Melander, one of the founders of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI), in Lund, Sweden. Göran Melander served as the Institute’s first director and subsequently as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The volume illustrates the complex relationship between dissemination of human
Studies on shading behaviour of contractors have in the past been focused on lack of product quality and other factors affecting the customer. This study of 222 publicly procured road and railroad projects aim to analyse shading behaviour from a perspective of workers safety. The study shows, though with limitations in statistical power, that the number of reported incidents related to workers’ sa

Artikeln diskuterar en föga uppmärksammad paradox inom etiken: Etiska teorier söker övervinna moralisk oenighet och bristande efterlevnad, men de lever på sitt misslyckande att åstadkomma detta. Om alla skulle handla efter universellt accepterade moraliska principer blev moralen ointressant. Kontraktsetiska teorier kan bidra till att förstå denna aspekt av etiken. Enligt dessa uppstår etiska probl
