This chapter concerns routing optimization in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. OBS is a photonic network technology aiming at efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS architectures are in general bufferless and therefore sensitive to burst congestion. An overall burst loss probability (BLP) which adequately represents the congestion state of the entire network is the primary metric of interes

This paper provides design experience based on 2D FE electromagnetic and heat transfer analysis that are used to support product development. An induction in-roll heater is analyzed, tested and verified. The scientific challenge is to develop fast and fair models to provide design guidelines for layout specification, material selection and performance estimation. The transferred energy capability

The concise, critical reviews in this volume cover recent advances in the field of xenobiotics in any segment of the environment. They also address areas of accomplishment and need and discuss toxicological implications

The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. During migraine attacks, the level of released CGRP is increased. Meanwhi

In this report, we are proposing a framework for robustness analysis of source codes, in combination with a design procedure for finding an optimal robust code. The robustness is defined as low susceptibility to changes in the probability distribution of the source. In many applications, the probability distribution is not well known, nor time-invariant. Hence, by introducing a robustness measure

En introduktion till nyutgåvan av Claude Lévi-Strauss Spillror av paradiset.

Semiconductor nanowires have many properties which makes them interesting for future electronic devices. The fact that they have very small diameters allow them to combine different III-V materials into heterostructures, and makes it possible to grow them on Si substrates which are the basis of nearly all current semiconductor technology. It also allows them to adopt the wurtzite crystal structure

A method for detection and genotyping of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections based on omp1 gene amplification and sequencing was developed. DNA was extracted from urogenital or urine samples using a Chelex-based method, and an approximately 1,100-bp-long fragment from the omp1 gene was directly amplified and sequenced. Genotyping was performed by BLAST similarity search, and phylogenetic tree

Popular Abstract in Swedish FISKETS EFFEKTER BEROR PÅ SAMSPELET MELLAN ARTER Fiske och jakt, så kallad populationsbeskattning, påverkar den fiskade eller jagade populationen på en rad olika sätt. Den direkta effekten är uppenbar: dödligheten ökar, och antalet individer i populationen minskar. I förlängningen påverkar denna minskning också andra arter, som t ex äter eller äts av individerna i den bHarvesting changes population abundance and can affect adaptation of several life-history traits. Harvesting can also have indirect effects ? effects on non-target species and secondary effects on target species ? because interactions between species in a community determine the relevant ecological and evolutionary feedback environment. Species interactions therefore influence the effect of harves

In this panel we take a critical look at problem gaming. We question existing approaches that tend to draw on concepts from clinical psychology and we introduce everyday life and the general wellbeing of youth as an alternative perspective.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Doktorsavhandling undersöker hur förutsättningar i hemmet, självreglering, akademisk självbild och målorientering påverkar läsförmåga. Att kunna läsa bra är grundläggande för att kunna fungera väl i det moderna samhället där man måste kunna läsa komplicerade texter. Då larmrapporter, kring hur många ungdomar som slutar skolan utan att kunna läsa och skriva, regelbundet The studies in this doctoral thesis investigated how home literacy, self regulation, academic self-concept, and goal orientation influence reading ability. Study 1 investigated the effect of family-based prerequisites, reading attitude, and self-regulated learning on reading ability. Students (n= 4,018) in the eighth grade answered the IEA reading literacy test and the SRLQ. Structural Equation Mo
