Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents an inductorless ultra-low power radio receiver front-end intended for applications such as sensor networks and medical implants. It consists of low noise amplifier, quadrature mixer, and a frequency divider for the generation of quadrature local oscillator signals. The power consumption is just 282μW from a 0.9V supply when it operates in the 915 MHz ISM

Soil erosion by water is a major cause of landscape degradation in semi-humid to semi-arid Mediterranean environments. Terrain particularly susceptible to the phenomenon witness a combination of erosive soil, unconsolidated rock type, steep slope, high rainfall intensity, active tectonic movement, rapid land use change and intense human interference. Current erosion models (e.g. USLE, RUSLE) are b

This paper presents an energy efficient adaptive QR decomposition scheme for Long Term Evolution Advance (LTE-A) downlink system. The proposed scheme provides a performance robustness to fluctuating wireless channels while maintaining lower workload on a reconfigurable hardware. A statistic based algorithm-switching strategy is employed in the scheme to achieve workload reduction and stable comput

An optimal stochastic control problem that minimizes the probability that a signal upcrosses a level is solved by rewriting it as a one-parametric optimization problem over a set of LQG control problem solutions. Finding the optimal controller can be interpreted as finding an optimal costing transfer function. The existence of the optimal controller is investigated in a constructive way, and it is

I studien har vi gjort en inventering av inlärnings- och studiestrategifaktorer såsom oro, attityder, koncentration, motivation, studiestöd och tidsplanering bland nybörjarstudenter vid Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH) och studerat hur de förändras under första terminen. Vidare har vi studerat hur självstudietiden påverkar studieresultat och om det finns samband med inlärnings och studiestrategifakto

The present study focuses on extinction of flames with water mist where surface cooling effects are neglected i.e. water mist as a total flooding system where the direct spray cannot reach and cool all burning items in the protected volume. The study includes a survey of the production and properties of water mist such as different types of nozzles and means to describe droplet size distribution.

This paper is a part of a research project studying human interaction with lighting control devices in public indoor environments. Factors such as the perception of the environment or objects may guide human behavior, therefore the perception of lighting related objects may have an impact on the behavior toward energy saving. This paper reports the development of a questionnaire for measuring huma
