The sphere detector is near-optimal in bit error rates (BER) performance for MIMO detection, but it suffers from the lower detection throughput. In this paper, we propose an improvement to the sub-optimal MIMO detection. The proposed detector can achieve a much higher detection throughput than the sphere detector, with a comparable complexity and a small degradation in BER performance at high sign

Desalting technologies and fresh water production has been developed over the years, including primarily thermal and membrane processes. Five different types of desalination technology were studied and compared for long-term of use namely, thermal processes include multistage flash evaporation (MSF), multiple effect evaporation (ME), and vapor compression (VC) and membrane processes contain revers

The Thule Society was a secret brotherhood where Hitler and the other pioneers of German National Socialism first met in Munich in 1919-20.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka blivande och utexaminerade miljövetare uppfattningar av och förhållningssätt till miljöproblem och till sin profession. Professionaliseringen av miljöarbetet kan ses som en process som skedde till följd av en större samhällsförändring där miljöfrågorna tog plats i samhällsdebatten, vilket innebar att allt fler aktörer börjat arbeta mThe aim of the thesis is to investigate experiences of and ways of relating to environmental issues and towards their profession among a group of graduates in environmentla science. The respondents were either in the end of or had completed an educational program in Environmental sciences with a social science perspective offered at Malmö University. Those who hade completed the program have recen

A critical comparison of two mid 19th century versions of the story of As’ad al-Shidyâq, a young Maronite who became the first Protestant sympathiser in Lebanon; the first version written by an American missionary (Isaac Bird), the second by a Lebanese intellectual (Butrus al-Bustani) who became a Protestant. The comparison reveals differences between expatriate and indigenous perceptions of Prote

In nine chapters this book presents the interplay of Christian faith and interreligious relations, with particular focus on creation theology, christology and eschatology. The theological contributions of, e.g., Albert Scheweitzer, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Paul van Buren, John F. Haught, and Krister Stendahl are presented and discussed.

I present the result of a small investigation of the sentence pattern in a sample of spoken Swedish. As expected, the typical constituent order is SV – more than 70 percent of the declaratives displayed this constituent order. This result is in line with previous investigations, but the figure is higher. An absolute majority of sentences have a pronominal element in sentence initial position, in m

A hybrid ventilation system including sewage heat recovery for low energy buildings has been investigated using TRNSYS. Energy from solar collectors is used in combination with the heat recovered from the sewage system to preheat the ventilation air and the cold water for domestic use. Results show that the new system renders a possibility to use natural ventilation in passive houses and zero ener
