Intense competition in rapidly changing markets puts intense pressure on product definition and the associated requirements engineering processes. An extensive literature review has identified that brand inertia, customer inertia, inappropriate market entry strategies and an inability to satisfy customer needs or expectations are the principle contributors to customer product rejection. While RE p

The aim was to study critical creative moments (CCM:s) – that is creativity related situations – in Swedish 5th grade classrooms and discuss these with teachers and students. Two observers visited each of the two classrooms on four different occasions in different types of classes (different subjects). The lessons were videotaped and the creative moments were identified by the observers during the

Verification and validation activities take a substantial share of project budgets and need improvements. This is an accepted truth, but the current practices are seldom assessed and analyzed. In this paper we present a qualitative survey of the verification and validation processes at 11 Swedish companies. The purpose was to exchange experience between the companies and to lay out a foundation fo

In this paper, we discuss the internet low bit rate codec (iLBC) with an emphesis on the frame-independent longterm prediction. The frame-independent long-term prediction is a method to exploit pitch-lag correlations in the encoding of speech without suffering multiple-frame speech degradation in connection with transmission loss. We present mean opinion scores for the iLBC codec and show by means

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modellsystem för metall-DNA interaktioner Med fokus på anticanceraktiva platina(II) komplex Guld är ett mytomspunnet och fascinerande ämne som ger liv. Ett påstående som kanske förvånar, eftersom guld ofta förknippas med vackra smycken och rikedom. Att guld skulle ge liv var dock en förhoppning i Kina på 600-talet f. Kr. Där använde man nämligen metalliskt guld för medReactions of trans-dicyanodichloroaurate(III) trans-dibromodicyanoaurate(III), trans-diamminedichlorogold(III), cis-diammine(aqua)chloroplatinum(II), cis-ammineaqua-(cyclohexylamine)chloroplatinum(II), chloro(terpyridine)platinum(II) and chloro-(diethylenetriaminepalldium(II) with dimethyl sulfide, thionucleosides, thionucleotides and thione- and guanine-containing 17-mer oligonucleotides have bee

In this work conformational studies have been performed on peptides from four different systems in an attempt to gain knowledge about their biological function. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with distance geometry and restrained molecular dynamics simulations were the methods used. A detailed conformational study of a cyclic p

Perinatal asphyxia with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the most important cause of perinatal mortality and cerebral palsy (CP) in infants born at term. The aim of the thesis was to investigate epidemiology of perinatal asphyxia, and to investigate early clinical neurological symptoms after perinatal asphyxia in relation to cerebral glucose metabolism (CMRgl) measured by 18-FDG-PET, neuro

Global competition forces companies to constantly increase the efficiency in their production systems. One important factor affecting the production performance is the inbound materials handling system. When designing or relocating a manufacturing system, the cost of the material handling system is one of many things to take into consideration. In connection with on-going research a comprehensive
