We look at the stability of survey based subjective time preferences over time. Using data from a Dutch panel survey spanning the period 1998 to 2012, the stability of subjective time preferences at the aggregate level and at the individual level are studied. While aggregate preferences are clearly unstable, individual subjective time preferences are relatively stable over time. In order to shed l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemofili (blödarsjuka) A och B, är X-kromosomalt, recessivt, nedärvda sjukdomar som orsakas av brist på eller avsaknad av koagulationsfaktor VIII respektive IX i blodet (FVIII och FIX). Sjukdomen drabbar män och överförs till nästa generation av kvinnliga bärare, som vanligtvis inte själva har några blödnings-symtom. Blödarsjuka ger redan tidigt i livet upphov till blödThe general aim of this study has been to study the psychological, social and ethical aspects for carriers of haemophilia and their spouses, related to the development of techniques for carrier testing and for prenatal diagnosis (PD) of haemophilia. This was investigated by a semi-structured follow-up interview with 29 carriers of haemophilia with experience of PD by fetal blood sampling (FBS), an

We consider time dependent thermal fluid structure interaction. The respective models are the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the nonlinear heat equation. A partitioned coupling approach via a Dirichlet-Neumann method and a fixed point iteration is employed. As a reference solver a previously developed efficient time adaptive higher order time integration scheme is used. To improve upon t

This article reviews the phantom zero compensation technique, applied on negative-feedback (NFB) amplifiers, followed by an analysis of the important efficiency parameter, 0, of the implemented phantom zero. The effect of the efficiency on the root locus is presented, and it has been found that δ 7 will give near ideal behavior of the applied phantom zero. A reduced small signal model of the ampli

This overview provides a comparative analysis of strategies and visions for the bio-economy. It concentrates on the US, EU, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Canada and Australia. It comments on China, Russia, Brazil and Malaysia. It also briefly outlines the OECD policy agenda for the bio-economy.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att förbättra styrningen av myoelektriska handproteser. De primära målen har varit (1) att generera korrekt kontroll för så många handrörelser som möjligt, (2) att förbättra träningsförfarandet så att operatören på ett intuitivt sätt snabbt kan bemästra ett flertal rörelser och (3) att minska tiden som behövs för att matematiskt justera in sAn investigation of improvements of myoelectric prostheses has been undertaken. The primary aims of this thesis were (1) to generate an accurate prediction of as many hand movement as possible, (2) to produce a training setup for subjects allowing intuitive and instant control over multiple movements, and (3) to reduce the training cycle for the control system to a maximum of a couple of minutes t
