A reconfigurable pipelined A/D converter has been implemented in a 0.18 mu m RF-CMOS process. The ADC has eight configurations with a top performance of 10 bits resolution at 80 MSPS consuming 94mW. The reconfigurability is achieved by combining the cyclic and pipelined ADC architectures giving it a low level of complexity. In the conventional pipeline mode, the measured SFDR is 69 dBFS and the SN

The capacity of somatic cells and pollen grains or microspores to undergo embryogenesis is an important property used in improvement and regeneration of plants. Furthermore, somatic embryogenesis as well as pollen embryogenesis show many similarities with zygotic embryogenesis and are, thus, good model systems. Pollen suspensions of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) contain a mixture of embryogenic a

Abstract in Undetermined Artikeln undersöker möjligheten att utifrån ett feministiskt och genus- teoretiskt perspektiv verka som relativt nyetablerad och yrkesverksam i den akademiska världen. Artikelförfattarna diskuterar utifrån den gemensamma erfarenheten av det pedagogiska utvecklingsprojektet ”Implementering av ett kritiskt genusperspektiv” lett av Anna Lena Lindberg. De lyfter fram hennes be

The European Union directive on Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement (IPRED) was implemented in Sweden on April 1, 2009, and was meant to be the enforcement needed to achieve increased compliance with intellectual property online, especially copyright. This, therefore, was the manifest function of the directive. The article empirically shows changes in levels of use of Online Anonymity Service

Biomass gasification is one of the alternatives to producing liquid fuels and chemicals from biomass residues. The gas produced in gasification contains CO, H2, H2O, CO2, light hydrocarbons and tars. Depending on the gasifier type, operating conditions and fuel, the light hydrocarbons can contain as much as 50 % of the total energy contents in the gas. The gas also contains catalyst poisons such a

This paper describes a system to define and evaluate development stages in second language French. The identification of such stages can be formulated as determining the frequency of some lexical and grammatical features in the learners’ production and how they vary over time. The problems in this procedure are threefold: identify the relevant features, decide on cutoff points for the stages, and

A differential LNA using capacitive shunt feedback is demonstrated in 65nm CMOS. The capacitive shunt feedback structure gives a wideband input matching, S11 ;44dBm for high band.

Part I of the dissertation examines the cognitive aspects of autonomy. The central question concerns what kind of cognitive capacity autonomy is. It will be argued that the concept of autonomy is best understood in terms of a metacognitive capacity of the individual. It is argued that metacognition has two components: procedural reflexivity and metarepresentation. Metarepresentation in turn can be

Pedagogisk retorik är ett kunskapsområde där didaktik och retorik förenas. Dagens professionella lärare måste självklart vara ämneskunniga, men det räcker inte. De behöver också ha insikt i hur man väcker intresse för det aktuella ämnet och ökar förståelsen hos de studerande. Med hjälp av rösten, uttryckssättet och yrkesidentiteten framträder läraren som mer eller mindre trovärdig och ämnet som me

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den forskning som presenteras här bygger på studier av ett antal beståndsdelar i bindväv vars funktioner är i stort sett helt okända. Bindväv finns i många strukturer i människokroppen; brosk, senor, skelett, blodkärlens väggar, hud, stödjevävnad runt olika organ etc. Karakteristiskt för bindväv är att cellerna sitter glest, omgivna av ett heterogent material som kallasThe extracellular matrix plays an integral role in tissue remodeling and development and it defines the different mechanical properties of a variety of connective tissues. Its complexity in composition and the details in organization has only been partly elucidated. This thesis focuses on collagen VI and the mutual interactions of a number of matrix proteins that lie within close proximity. Collag

Boken innehåller en grekisk text (baserad på cod. Parisinus graecus 2474) utgiven av Britt Dahlman och en svensk översättning av den systematiska samlingen av Apophthegmata Patrum (Ökenfädernas tänkespråk), bok 4. Översättningen har gjorts gemensamt av deltagarna i översättningsseminariet vid Johannesakademin.The book contains a Greek text (based on MS Parisinus graecus 2474) edited by Britt Dahlman and a Swedish translation of the Systematical collection of the Apophthegmata Patrum, book 4. The translation was made jointly by the participants in the translation seminar at Johannesakademin.

This volume is the first to examine the phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics of Finnic and Saami languages within current generative linguistic frameworks. Collected here is research on these less-studied languages, some of which face extinction.

David Galloway, former president of the IAL, became 65 in May 2007. On this occasion 55 colleagues and friends contributed a Festschrift with 36 papers. The editors took the chance to invite papers in two major fields of interest of the jubilee; the history of lichenology and southern hemisphere and tropical lichenology. The historical part of the volume comprises 7 papers on 118 pages including A
