Biocatalyst Engineering: Metabolic Engineering, Kinetic modeling and metagenomics applied to industrial biotechnology

Industrial biotechnology has been defined as the use and application of biotechnology for the sustainable processing and production of chemicals, materials and fuels. It makes use of biocatalysts such as microbial communities, whole-cell microorganisms or purified enzymes. Although biocatalysts are considered advantageous, since they operate under mild conditions regarding temperature and pH and e

Logistics value of using tracking data from uniquely labelled goods

Managing material flows along a supply chain is a complex matter involving a great many interfaces both between activities and between actors. Integration of material flows may smooth the interfaces and thus also the potential errors and delays in the material flows. The potential to obtain such integration is facilitated by recent developments in identification technologies, particularly RFID tec

Encoder and Decoder Design for Signal Estimation

In this paper, we study the joint design of optimal linear encoders and decoders for filtering and transmission of a signal over an additive Gaussian noise channel subject to a real-time constraint. The objective is to minimize the variance of the estimation error at the receiving end. The design problem is nonconvex, but it is shown that a global optimum can be found by solving a related two-stag

Beginning Reading Pausanias' Periegesis. The Periegesis and other works of geographical description

The genre of the Periegesis is problematic, irrespective of whether it is brought into a generic category together with other works or is assumed to be sui generis. This paper argues that temporarily abandoning the scholarly habit of reading texts synoptically rather than subjecting oneself to one of the most fundamental characteristics of any text, viz. its linearity, may bring new light to the p

Some Perils in the Making of a Film Town: A Brief European Case Study

During the last decades, regional film funds and tax breaks have altered the geography of European film production. Sweden may be among the countries where the tendency has had the most radical effect in that most feature production presently takes place on and around the location of the regional film funds. The communities in which the most important funds are based have, accordingly developed in
