This thesis examines the scholarly study of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, especially the way in which the field has been shaped by the discovery of the Winchester MS in 1934. Owing to the complex relationship between the manuscript and the printed edition of 1485, both contradictory and co-dependent, Le Morte seems to invite a number of narratives regarding its origins and originality whil

The paper aims to explore to what degree different types of terms in engineering information (Ei) thesaurus and classification scheme influence automated subject classification performance. Preferred terms, their synonyms, broader, narrower, related terms, and captions are examined in combination with a stemmer and a stop-word list. The algorithm comprises string-to-string matching between words i

The developments and activities among the attendees to a Naqshbandi-Haqqani Sufi priory in north London in recent years have come to raise a number of issues regarding Sufism in Western Europe. The relationship between shaykh and murid, "disciple", has been developed into a complex interaction where ongoing negotiations concerning the content and form of the tariqa’s activities continuously take p

A gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-NICI-SIM-MS) method was used to quantitate the metabolite toluene diamine (TDA) in urine samples of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposed workers. In order to validate the biological monitoring method, air samples were collected and analyzed using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS

Städer i sin snävaste betydelse är ett sentida fenomen. Eftersom de vuxit fram under en process är de inte så entydigt definierade som vi i nutiden antar. Problemet blir tydligt när vi tvingas omnämna orter som ”proto-urbana” eller använda begrepp som ”centralplatser”. Dessa begrepp antyder att livsmönstret inte riktigt utvecklats till en ”riktig” stad eller att det embryonala urbana livsmönstret

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid framställning av koncentrerade fruktjuicer utsätts produkten för värmebehandling i form av indunstning och pastörisering. Värme-behandlingen försämrar produktens sensoriska kvalitet, dels eftersom aromerna är flyktiga och snabbt avdunstar, och dels eftersom värmen påskyndar kemiska förändringar av aromämnena. Några viktiga fördelar uppnås dock genom tillverkning av During production of concentrated fruit juices, both physical and chemical losses of aroma compounds occur due to heat treatment such as pasteurisation and evaporation. This leads to an inferior quality of the final product. By recovering the aroma complex from fresh juice and then adding it back to the processed juice, heat treatment can be avoided. Hydrophobic pervaporation is an emerging membr

This paper presents the implementation of the mapper block in a faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling transmitter. The architecture is Look-Up Table (LUT) based and the complexity is reduced to a few adders and a buffer to store intermediate results. Two flavors of the architecture has been designed and evaluated in this article, one, a register based implementation for the buffer and the other usin
