This paper proposes a means to quantify the aptitude of a dynamic model to be partitioned into weakly coupled submodels. The proposal applies to both linear and nonlinear systems, is largely independent of their scale, and requires information that is easy to provide on the part of the analyst. The presented indices can be exploited in different manners, from easing numerical integration on monoli

Ferrell's expression for the XPS lineshape is derived in a formalism which explicitly takes the electron—electron interaction into account. Also the corresponding expression for X-ray absorption is given. In the presence of other broadenings, which are comparable or larger than kT, the electronic part of the core-level broadening in XPS is indistinguishable from a Gaussian. This Gaussian broadenin

In the last years the usage of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) systems for aviation was a quickly growing field. In this context the problem of multipath reception becomes crucial as aviation demands high accuracy navigation based upon GNSS throughout all phases of flight and in particular with strong requirements for the approach and landing phase. To address this issue, simulations ha

This chapter complements the analysis in Chapter 2 by a policy-oriented inquiry of how different degrees of fragmentation of governance architectures are likely to affect the environmental effectiveness of policies. Our study relates here to an area of widespread contestation in academic and policy writing. It is often maintained, as we describe further below, that a more integrated climate govern

Med sina montageverk och videoinstallationer har Lina Selander under de senaste åren framträtt som ett av Sveriges mest tankeväckande konstnärskap. Med en öppen, prövande hållning och en väl utvecklad rytm- och formkänsla utforskar hon relationerna mellan skilda medier, teknologier och material för att därigenom söka gränserna för vad som är möjligt att visa och säga. Detta arbete med verkets form

The field of service marketing is in a state of flux, questioned from the ‘outside’ as well as from scholars ‘within’ the field. Its very foundation, the service definition, is subject to discussion. Three possible trajectories forward can be noticed among scholars from ‘within’ the field in this discussion; the abandonment of service as a general category, the formulation of a new, more defendabl

In this paper the impact of New Public Management is issued in terms of its effects on the professionalism of the Swedish doctors, where professionalism is conceptualized, according to Freidson's (2001) definition, as "the institutional circumstances in which the members of an occupation rather than consumers or managers control work". Also the ideal type builds on the assumption that the conditio

Students’ use of two different versions of a digital math game, one extended with a teachable agent, is compared. The purpose is to compare the affective engagement of student using the two different versions. An overall aim is to extend our knowledge of the paradigm Learning by Teaching.
