Centre-Periphery, World Systems, and Medieval Archaeology

I have briefly outlined different levels of scale in the discussion of centre–periphery, from a local to a more global perspective. I have tried to show that the concepts of centre and periphery cannot be applied without qualification. Different realities are concealed behind them. The common factor is nevertheless that they signal some kind of contacts, in the form of giving and taking, of power,

Mitigating Disorderly Leaving Events in G.fast

Vectoring is a vital component of wideband wire- line communication systems. A disorderly leaving event (DLE) disturbs the vectoring operation since the precoder, which was designed for the channel before the change, is no longer up to date. Measurements indicate that the impact of a DLE can be serious for frequencies beyond 30 MHz, which corresponds to the band used by emerging wideband communica

Privacy, Security and Trust in Cloud Computing: The Perspective of the Telecommunication Industry

The telecommunication industry has been successful in turning the Internet into a mobile service and stimulating the creation of a new set of networked, remote services. Most of these services now run or are supported by cloud computing platforms. Embracing cloud computing solutions is fundamental for the telecommunication industry to remain competitive. However, there are many legal, regulatory,

Vowel reduction and the perception of words

This study deals with listeners' ability to identify linguistic units from linguistically incomplete stimuli and relates this to the potentiality of vowel reduction in a word. Synthetic speech was used to produce stimuli that were similar to real words, but where the vowel in the pre-stress syllable was excluded. Listeners then performed a lexical decision test, where they had to decide whether a

Glycerol-based Isobutanol

In the search for renewable vehicle fuels several different gasoline additives have been discussed and reviewed. Today bioethanol is the most commonly used option, but isobutanol is being proposed as a better alternative by many stakeholders, due to its superior fuel characteristics, e.g. energy density, oxygen content and vapor pressure. The research project “Glycerol-based isobutanol” has invest

Crossed Product-Like and Pre-Crystalline Graded Rings

We introduce crossed product-like rings, as a natural generalization of crystalline graded rings, and describe their basic properties. Furthermore, we prove that for certain pre-crystalline graded rings and every crystalline graded ring A, for which the base subring A_0 is commutative, each non-zero two-sided ideal has a nonzero intersection with C_A(A_0), i.e. the commutant of A_0 in A. We also s
