The focus of the current paper: the patient perspective and the patients’ experienced values versus costs for medication. These values (in plural) and also the costs (in all its meanings) may differ considerably from those that could be gained from ordin
This paper describes several adaptive techniques based on frequency response analysis, which are used in industrial controllers. Automatic tuning is used to obtain PID controller parameters, to build up gain schedules, and to initialize adaptive algorithms. A simple adaptive feedback algorithm which is based on the idea of tracking a point on the Nyquist curve is presented as well as an adaptive f

This paper introduces a new Open Source Java library suited for the simulation of embedded control systems. The library is based on the ideas and architecture of TrueTime, a toolbox of Matlab devoted to this topic, and allows Java programmers to simulate the performance of control processes which run in a real time environment. Such simulations can improve considerably the learning and design of m
The paper investigates the development of energy efficient windows in the past 30 years. The focus is on the development and interlinkages among technology, actors´ interaction and market diffusion in a broader policy context. The paper shows that in singular development cycles, different factors and the interfaces among these factors influenced the improvement and penetration of energy efficient
A number of policy instruments are used in order to provide consumers healthy products produced in a proper way as regards environmental impacts. The policy instruments are mainly directed to enterprises and companies producing products. Such actors are often addressed in terms of laws or regulations and represents different actors in a production chain. Policy instruments and the way they are use
