In this paper list decoding of convolutional codes is considered. List decoding is a very powerful, low complexity, non-backtracking decoding method that does not fully exploit the error correcting capability of the code. A correct path loss is a serious kind of error event that is typical for list decoding. An expurgated upper bound on the probability of correct path loss is derived for the ensem

Popular Abstract in Swedish Global uppvärmning, säkerhetspolitik och framtida minskad tillgång på fossila bränslen har de senaste åren skyndat på sökandet efter nya, förnyelse-bara drivmedel. Användningen av bioetanol har ökat avsevärt och är idag ett av de vanligaste biobränslena i världen. Idag framställs bioetanol vanligen genom jäsning av socker från socker-rör eller från stärkelse (från tillFuel ethanol from lignocellulose is one sustainable alternative to the fossil fuels of today. All sugars in the material must be utilized in order to achieve high overall ethanol yields. Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been engineered to ferment the pentose sugar xylose from lignocellulose to ethanol. However, ethanol production from xylose is slow and often incomplete. In this work s

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) has been present longer than any biological life, and during the development of life the radiation intensities were initially high. Eventually a vital ozone layer developed, but despite that this layer screens out most of the high energy wavelengths, some still enter the biosphere and is potentially harmful to life on earth. This thesis investigates the effects of combin

Abstract in French La morphologie verbale de personne-nombre se développe lentement chez les apprenants adultes (suédophones) de français L2. Ce développement, chez eux, ne semble pas relié au développement syntaxique, mais possiblement à des facteurs de fréquence de ces formes dans l’input. On ne peut pas non plus considérer les pronoms sujets chez ces apprenants comme des marqueurs de personne (

A voltage reference has been implemented in a standard 0.35 μm CMOS process. A temperature coefficient of 12 ppm/°C is achieved in virtue of a complete suppression of the temperature dependence of the carrier mobility. The line sensitivity is 0.46 %/V and the maximum supply current, measured at 80°C, is 130 nA. The PSSR at 100 Hz and 10 MHz is -59 dB and -52 dB, respectively.

Olika former för äldrevårdsförsäkringar har under senare år lyfts fram i debatten och belysts i flera svenska studier och forskningsrapporter. Denna studie har haft som syfte att studera vilka för- och nackdelar som frivilliga tilläggsförsäkringar kan få i svensk äldreomsorg. Studien förväntas bidra till diskussionen om delar av äldreomsorgens finansiering kan överlåtas till individerna själva gen
