This paper discusses the problem of finding the controller that optimizes the expected H2-norm for an uncertain system. The paper gives a unification of many similar results. The approach is motivated by the so called stochastic embedding approach. A closed form solution is given using a minimum of calculations for a class of problems including interesting signal processing applications such as fe

Collective effects in MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring are strongly enhanced by the combination of low emittance, high current and small effective aperture. Three passive harmonic cavities (HC) are introduced to lengthen the bunches, by which beam stabilization is anticipated via decoupling to high frequency wakes, along with Landau damping. The role of the transverse impedance budget of the MAX IV 3 GeV

Purpose of this paper: The cluster thinking in the humanitarian world has been suggested as a solution to the lack of coordinated disaster response in the past 10 years. Clusters on diverse functions including sheltering, logistics and water sanitation can be viewed as an effort of functional coordination, i.e. horizontal coordination within a functional area. The purpose of this paper is to contr

The US EPA Method 1694 (which is specific to the analysis of pharmaceuticals and personal care products) was evaluated for analysis of selected hormones: 17a- and 17b-estradiol, estriol, estrone, 17a-ethynylestradiol, diethylstilbestrol, equilin, equilenin, testosterone, progesterone and norgestrel in filtered sewage influent/effluent and seawater. The extraction of hormones from fortified water m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar epitaxiell växt av nanotrådar i III-V halvledarmaterial, i vilken guldpartiklar använts som frö, samt design av tredimensionella mer avancerade förgrenade strukturer baserade på dessa trådar. Växten utfördes via så kallad ?MetallOrganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy? (MOVPE), i vilken prekursormolekylerna till halvledarmaterialens komponenter tillförs This thesis describes the epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires using Au seed particles, and the design of more complex three-dimensional branched structures from these wires. Growth was performed by metallorganic vapour phase epitaxy, in which precursor molecules for the semiconductor material components are introduced in a low-pressure vapour. Nanowires grow epitaxially (with control

Most conceptualisations of organizational learning are generally underpinned by some notion of unitarism. Theories typically assume shared visions, values, conceptions or identities. The paper, however, considers the dilemmas faced in organizations where identities and visions are not shared, and where conceptions and ideologies are diverse and possibly in conflict. Such organizations, called here
