Sopor är inte speciellt populära. De luktar ofta illa, de går inte att använda till någonting glamoröst och dessutom kostar de tid, pengar och engagemang att bli av med. ”Sopa” kan vi kalla någon vi tycker misslyckas helt och hållet med sin uppgift, sopgubbe har väl aldrig kunnat mäta sig med veterinär eller pilot i diskussioner och drömmar om framtida yrken och soptippar är kanske den anläggning

The thesis is concerned with topics relating to auctions and competitive bidding. In the first chapter, the case of a procurement situation where multiple producers compete in price and quality, but are unable to commit to quality, is treated in a scoring auction context. An optimal scoring rule, for a buyer able to comittto a rule, is characterised. The second chapter is concerned with auction

Artikeln beskriver framväxten och utformningen av lekmannaterapi och coaching i dagens svenska samhället. De nya verksamheterna kan till delar spåras tillbaka till new age och har utformats som individcentrerade riter med betoning på helande och pånyttfödelse, där snabba effekter utlovas av egencertifierade entreprenörer.

Popular Abstract in Swedish ABSTRAKT Titel: Organ improvisation - activity, action and rhetorical practice [Orgelimprovisation - verksamhet, handling och retorisk praktik]. Författare: Karin Johansson Språk: Engelska Sökord: Orgelimprovisation, kulturhistorisk verksamhetsteori, högre musikutbildning, västerländsk konstmusik, diskursiv praktik, retorisk praktik. ISSN: 1404-6539 ISBN: 978-91-976053-This thesis focuses on contemporary organ improvisation in Western European musical culture. The aim of the study is to explore organists’ descriptions, constructions and definitions of improvisation in words and music, with an interest in the interaction between receptivity, creativity and change. As a research object, the art of organ improvisation is defined as a source for exploring learning a

A new explicit WET model for the turbulent heat fluxes is derived and developed from the transport equation of the scalar passive flux. In order to study the performance of the model itself, all other turbulent quantities are taken from a DNS channel flow data-base and thus the error source has been minimized. This anisotropic eddy diffusivity model can be solved with a two-equation model for the

The paper aims to explore to what degree different types of terms in engineering information (Ei) thesaurus and classification scheme influence automated subject classification performance. Preferred terms, their synonyms, broader, narrower, related terms, and captions are examined in combination with a stemmer and a stop-word list. The algorithm comprises string-to-string matching between words i

In this paper we suggest an improvement to a recent algorithm for estimating the pose and ego-motion of a camera which is constrained to planar motion at a constant height above the floor, with a constant tilt. Such motion is common in robotics applications where a camera is mounted onto a mobile platform and directed towards the floor. Due to the planar nature of the scene, images taken with such
