Fires in school buildings caused by arson are a major problem in Sweden and in particular are the costs of these fires disproportionately high compared to the costs of fires in buildings in general. The Swedish Research Board initiated a multidisciplinary project in order to reduce the number and consequences of arson fires in schools. Both technical and social aspects have been dealt within this
Urbanism is much more than simply an agglomeration of houses : it is a particular way of living space. Our considerations starts out from some of the historically prominent figures of urbanity, such as the market-place, the boulevard and the coffee house. Semiotics of space may either involve a certain number of elementary building-blocks being combined in particular ways, much as language is ; or
The fact that the debate concerning copyright in a digital society has been both intense and filled with polemic conflicts ever since the late 1990s makes it clear that it is a most complicated issue to solve, or even grasp. Basically, both the legal and societal discussion and development are explicitly dependent on a greater understanding of the on-going processes surrounding copyright. This pre
The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int

Popular Abstract in Swedish Respiratorbehandling är nödvändig då en patient på grund av kronisk eller akut lungsjukdom inte själv kan upprätthålla ett adekvat gasutbyte. Bakomliggande orsaker kan vara kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom, lunginflammation, blodförgiftning eller trauma. Respiratorbehandling kan i sig orsaka ytterligare skador på redan sjuka eller skadade lungor. Bland de faktorer som harIncreasing attention is paid to mechanical ventilation as one cause behind aggravation of lung injury. Lung protective ventilation can be achieved e.g. by minimising tidal lung collapse and re-expansion and by the use of small tidal volume allowing some degree of permissive hypercapnia. The ventilator and the sick lung comprise a very complex system. Identification of a ventilator setting that wit
Klimatförhållandena har stor betydelse för om en art kan ha livskraftiga populationer på en viss plats, både genom direkta effekter på organismerna, och indirekta effekter på andra arter i ekosystemet, det vill säga arter som den är beroende av, predatorer och konkurrenter. Den biologiska mångfalden är viktig för ekosystemens förmåga att klara klimatförändringar. Vårt användande av landskapet ka
