Scholars of European fable history over and over again have returned to the question of a possible death of the Aesopic genre. Arguments have been brought forward in accordance with mainly two opposing views. On the one hand, it has been claimed that the fable genre towards the end of the eighteenth century reached a stage of crisis and, more or less, perished. On the other hand, it has been asser

To further promote cardiovascular research there is a growing need for arterial characterization on small animals. Arterial wall movement measurements form the basis for most stiffness related parameters. As far as we know, previous reports on lumen diameter change measurements in small animals have required ECG triggering and cross-correlation techniques on the RF-signal using extremely high fram

A fully integrated 0.6 V 2.6 mA VCO aimed for the GPS L1 band is realized in a 90 nm CMOS process. The VCO operates at 6.3 GHz and a divide-by-four circuit buffer provide the wanted 1575.42 MHz signal. The VCO has a measured phase noise of-103 dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and a chip area of 1.15mm 2, including bondpads.

This paper describes an attempt to provide more intelligence to industrial robotics and automation systems. We develop an architecture to integrate disparate knowledge representations used in different places in robotics and automation. This knowledge integration framework, a possibly distributed entity, abstracts the components used in design or production as data sources, and provides a uniform

In this work benzoyl dextrans with a degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.02 to 0.29 and valeryl dextrans with a DS ranging from 0.025 to 0.2 were synthesized. The modified dextrans were characterized by viscosity, UV, HPLC and NMR measurements. The effect of reaction conditions on the DS of modified dextrans was studied. The modified dextrans were used to study the effect of aromatic and al

Inom retaillitteraturen har det länge talats om upplevelseskapande i butik. För en butiks atmosfär spelar många faktorer roll och centreras ofta kring subtila element som musik, doft och färg. I bageriet är temperaturen av stor betydelsen, men även trängseln och det som betraktas som den genuina atmosfären. Vad betyder det för vår upplevelse att vi måste stå en stund innanför dörren innan vi ens k

Nationella beslut om miljöåtgärder påverkar människors vardagsliv på många olika sätt. Med antagandet av kretsloppslagen följde att varje hushåll skulle sortera sina hushållssopor för att gå till återvinning inom industrin eller till förbränning och energiproduktion. Miljömärkning och energimärkning av produkter gör det möjligt för konsumenten att göra informerade val så att miljöpåverkan på natur

Lubyanka- IIIrd Floor. Memoirs of the KGB-chairman Vladimir Semichastny This book (published in Czech language in 1998) gives the reader a chance to follow the development of those times as seen by one of the most powerful men of his days - the highest predecessor of the Commitee for State Security at the Council of Ministers of the USSR (better known under the abbreviation KGB). Considering his

Large-scale software development generates an ever-growing amount of information. Multiple research groups have proposed using approaches from the domain of information retrieval (IR) to recover traceability. Several enhancement strategies have been initially explored using the laboratory model of IR evaluation for performance assessment. We conducted a pilot experiment using printed candidate lis
