Wave splitting of the time dependent Maxwell's equations in three dimensions with and without dispersive terms in the constitutive equation is treated. The procedure is similar to the method developed for the scalar wave equation except as follows. The up-and down-going wave condition is expressed in terms of a linear relation between the tangential components of E and H. The resulting system of d

In making capacity estimates and cost calculations in the manufacturing industry, many products and production systems are often involved, making the data in their totality difficult to grasp. Introducing the concept of the characteristic part, which is a fabricated part seen as representative of all parts produced in terms of demand, setup time, cycle time, average batch size and total number of

De förenade målen C-92/09 och C-93/09, Volker und Markus Schecke, gäller uppgifter som jordbruksstöd till enskilda bönder som publicerats på internet. Målen avser en rad frågor från en tysk domstol som tagit en klart kritisk ställning till hur EU:s sekundärrätt har utformats i förhållande till skyddet för privatliv och skyddet för personuppgifter. EU-domstolen ansåg att kritiken (åtminstone delvis

Trellis decoding is widely used, in this present day of communication and data storage, in a wide variety of applications such as decoding convolution codes, baseband detection for wireless systems and also to detect recorded data. This is achieved by implementing the Viterbi algorithm. This paper presents various methodologies of reducing the computational complexity of the branch metric unit in

The construction and demonstration of a conductometric chemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is reported. Benzyltriphenylphosphonium ions, chosen as a model, were used as the analyte. The MIP based sensors gave, when exposed to the analyte, a significantly higher conductivity reading than the reference sensors. Furthermore, the use of molecularly imprinted polymers as arti

Authorship, anonymity and the liberty of the press in Denmark in the eighteenth century: By using the national bibliography of Denmark it is possible to get an impression of change in matters of anonymity and authorship from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. Furthermore, a case study of the poet, 'nouvelliste' and pamphleteer Jacob Christian Bie sheds light on conditions for writing and pu

Begreppet ”implicit religion” infördes i den religionssociologiska debatten 1969 av den brittiske religionsvetaren Edward I Bailey för att definiera innebörden av religion och religiositet i det sekulära västerlandet, och särskilt i Storbritannien. Han preciserade begreppet närmare genom tre nyckelbegrepp: förpliktelse (commitment), integrerande fokuseringar (integrating foci) och intensivt engage

In a world where distributed power generation and deregulation of energy markets are on everyone's agenda, the need for highly efficient power plants with short lead times is greater than ever. Although at present combined cycles provide a solution, development of ever more advanced machines to increase efficiency and lower the environmental impact has led to high maintenance costs and a decrease
