Projektet redovisas med en beskrivning och analys av arbetet med att leda ett lärarlag som här definieras som ett community of practice (Etienne Wenger 1988) med målet att genom ett sådant kollegiearbete gemensamt utveckla ett ändamålsenligt campus ethos för våra masterstudenter (Adrianna Kezar 2007). Mina erfarenheter och reflektioner kring arbetet med att leda och skapa möjligheter för samarbete

Image processing is one of the popular applications of Cellular Neural Networks. Macro enriched field-programmable gate-arrays can be used to realize such systems on silicon. The paper discusses a pipelined implementation that supports the handling of gray-level images at 180 to 240 Mpixels per second by exploiting the Virtex-II macros to spatially unroll the local feedback.

Nonlinear axisymmetric finite element analyses are performed on the uniaxial compressive test of concrete cylinders. The models include thick steel loading plates, and cylinders with height-to-diameter ratios (h/d) ranging from 1–3 are treated. A simple constitutive model of the concrete is employed, which accounts for the strain hardening and softening in the pre- and postfailure regions, respect

In this paper we have used primary and secondary sources to make, to our knowledge, the first attempt ever to quantify the role non-wage labour on settler farms in colonial Africa. We have used Southern Rhodesia as a case in point and focused primarily on the role of tenant labour. Our findings show that the rise of wage labour did not mark the end of the latter. On the contrary, the two forms of

Objective: To evaluate long-term oncological outcome and surgical quality of robotic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Methods: Consecutive women with stage IA2 to IIA operated between March 2006 and May 2012 with a robotic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were prospectively followed up until five years after surgery or until death. Details regarding clinical results, recurr

In this paper we present two different ways of reducing the radar cross section (RCS) of thin metallic wires at low frequencies. This reduction is achieved by adding a dielectric coating on the wire. The entire cylindrical structure is finally protected by a thin exterior non-magnetic dielectric layer (eagle skin). The contribution to the RCS has either an electric or an magnetic origin. To reduce

This paper is concerned with analysing the growing role of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) in governing the world of auditing. Whereas the setting of standards for auditing has previously been the task of national authorities, that responsibility has now been passed to a large degree to IFAC, as the meta-organisational body for professional associations of accountants around the
