Popular Abstract in Swedish Att ha tillgång till en världsbeskrivning under exekveringen av sensorstyrda robotsystem kan potentialen hos ett industriellt robotsystem avsevärt förbättras. Intellegent beslut kan baseras på den nominella informationen tillgänglig under planeringsstadiet och den nya informationen som erhålles från sensorer under körningen. Världsbeskrivningen kan då uppdateras kontinuTraditional off-line programming is not enough in order to use the full potential of virtual models and simulation system in industrial robot applications. The interface between off-line programming system and the robot controller is today restricted to program transfer. In this way a large amount of information is lost since typical robot programming languages is rather limited. If the virtual m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under senare tid har hävdats att den IT/media-drivna så kallade "nya ekonomin" starkt etablerats. Enligt många påverkar IT/media teknologier marknadsföring och affärsverksamheter på ett 'revolutionerande' sätt. Denna avhandling behandlar kritiskt och strategiskt konstruktionen av värdeskapande affärserbjudanden där IT/media används. Vidare utvecklar författaren grundlägThis dissertation addresses the design of value productive episodes at the customer/firm boundary. Its purpose is: To provide perspective and help articulate strategies for increasing precision of the design of interactive marketing and value productive efforts at firm/customer boundaries. Many observers, thinkers and practitioners of marketing and management are: (1) Struggling to comprehend and

Lactic acid exists as two optical isomers, D- and L-lactic acid. For the production of biodegradable poly-lactic acid an optically pure product is desirable, but a racemate of known and constant ratio can also be used. Lactic acid can be produced either synthetically or fermentatively. Fermentative production has some advantages: by choosing a lactic acid bacterium producing only one of the isomer

Scholars of widely diverging persuasions have recognized the implications of the world constellation in which the discourse on foreign intervention with all its manifestations in a civil war has an explanatory value. How-ever, a number of long-standing theoretical, methodological and epistemological challenges still resist clearcut solution. This study analyzes the roles of the great powers and th

The present study deals with the question of cult locales in city gate contexts in Iron Age Palestine. Both archaeological and biblical sources are analysed in order to determine the presence of gate cult locales and indicate some directions of interpretation. A general framework for the archaeological identification of cult (as proposed by Colin Renfrew and others) is discussed and applied within

Our aims were to characterize familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in a Swedish FH population and to further elucidate the clinical expression and treatment response in relation to genotype. Secondly, we wanted to identify gene variants, which may have impact on cholesterol levels in apparently healthy subjects. In the search for sequence alterations in the large LDL receptor gene we introduced and

Despite many years of implementations, issues surrounding the success or failure of information systems are still shrouded in mystery. In a quest to improve business outcomes from such systems an IS analyst should have a key role to play. Organizational IS can be seen as a composition of indi-vidual and organizational learning processes, and as such is in a constant state of change. Knowledge as a

A linear quadratic control problem is considered, where several different controllers act as a team, but with access to different measurements. The state feedback solution obtained in a previous paper is here extended to output feedback and a separation principle is proved. The condition that certain measurements are unavailable to some state estimators is enforced by imposing a requirement that t
