Nordugrid offers reliable grid services for academic users over an increasing set of computing & storage resources spanning through the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A small group of scientists has already been using the Nordugrid as their daily computing utility. In the near future we expect a rapid growth both in the number of active users and available resources than

Scania, a landscape in today's Sweden, has its history in both a Swedish and a Danish context. It has therefore been possible for the Scanian people to maintain different positions in relation to history. I wish to focus on the role of archaeology in connection with the concept of regional identity. Starting from archaeological excavations of the so-called trelleborgar and ringborgar in Scania and

The present paper is a study of one impersonator and one of his voice imitations. The aim of the study was to investigate how he changes his own voice and speech behavior in order to get close to the target speaker’s. A comparison is made between three recordings of the same text material: the target speaker, the voice imitation and the impersonator’s own voice and dialect. The results presented i

A novel approach for surface wave testing of pavements is presented. It is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that can be used to obtain the thickness and stiffness properties of the different layers in a pavement. With this method structural properties of the pavement can be mapped as a function of time and space, providing a valuable tool in pavement design and management. The technical d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska ___________________________________________________________ I hypofysen bildas och frisätts hormoner vilka dels har en direkt verkan och dels styr andra körlars insöndring av hormon i kroppen. Den vanligaste orsaken till bristande hypofysfunktion (hypofysinsufficiens) hos vuxna patienter är tumörer belägna i hypofysen eller i hypofysens närhetPremature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hy

In this paper, we revisit the classical perspective-n-point (PnP) problem, and propose the first non-iterative O(n) solution that is fast, generally applicable and globally optimal. Our basic idea is to formulate the PnP problem into a functional minimization problem and retrieve all its stationary points by using the Gr¨obner basis technique. The novelty lies in a non-unit quaternion representati

Technology transfer is important to understand how knowledge is transformed to economic value. Applying a case study approach, this thesis investigates the technology transfer efforts from the University of Dar Es Salaam to indigenous informal SMEs in Tanzania and examines the impact of one of their technology transfer mechanisms on the specific technological capabilities that were acquired at the
