The aim of the user related assessment is to evaluate the effects on driver behaviour, reactions to and acceptance of the driver assistance system: Continuous Support (CS) function developed by CRF within the framework of SECONDS subproject. The CS function continuously evaluates the status of the host vehicle as well as the surrounding traffic based on the information of the on-board sensors. Whe

1815 införde Sverige jury i tryckfrihetsmål. I denna bok undersöks bl a syftet bakom reformen och vilka följderna blev av den. Uppfattas juryn idag främst som ett skydd eller ett hot? I exempel på tryckfrihetsmål möter läsaren politiker och publicister som exempelvis Carl XIV Johan mot Lars Johan Hierta, Oscar II mot Hjalmar Branting och Axel Danielsson, Per Albin Hansson och KG Westman mot Ture N

The estimation of structure and motion from image sequences using corresponding points, lines, conics and structured patches is treated. Recent research has provided good tools for obtaining good initial estimates of structure and motion using point, line, conic and curve correspondences. These estimates are, however, not so accurate. It is shown how to obtain statistically optimal estimates of st

In this study we tested the relevance of the generational hypothesis, i.e. whether the era in which household members grew up matters when understanding and predicting their behaviour, on a sample of 600 Swedish households. These households participated in a survey where they answered questions about their own energy-related residential energy behaviour. The answers were analysed for differences b

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjock- och ändtarmen är idag den tredje vanligaste formen av till döden ledande cancer i världen. Den är vanligast i de högindustrialise-rade delarna av världen: Europa, Nord-Amerika och Australien. Prognosen för den enskilde patienten är helt beroende på cancerns utbredning vid diagnostillfället. Cancerns utbredning bedöms idag enligt olika indelningsprincipeAim of the study Today´s methods for the staging of rectal carcinoma: ultrasonography with transrectal probe, CT, MRI or MRI with a rectal coil, all have limitations. The aim was therefore to develop a new, double-contrast MRI method for evaluation of rectal carcinoma. The idea was that a rectally applied contrast medium causing distension and signal void of the rectal lumen and an intravenous inj

In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. In addition, the thesis deals with the basic development of large-area double barrier resonant tunneling diodes, as a st

Based on observations of the rhythmic structure of L2-speech produced by L1-speakers of Albanian – which suggest the occurrence of transfer – a study is presented here that compares durational aspects between the two languages. In order to do this, speech read by Swedish and Albanian L1-speakers was recorded and investigated, and normalized durational factors were analysed. The results, however, d

The Ohio State University rate of heat release apparatus was calibrated with two measurement systems, the standard compensated thermopile and an instrumentation for oxygen consumption measurements. Based on the calibration results the oxygen consumption technique was chosen when testing 13 different materials including wood-based materials, wallcoverings and plastics. The same set of materials has

This paper presents a manual that covers the necessary design steps for a basic ASIC design flow. It is shown how the manual writing process is organized such that each chapter covers a certain step in the design flow. The manual has been written especially with practicality in mind and has been successfully applied to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching

Culturable and total bacterial counts, bacterial growth rate and tolerance to pH, as well as microbial biomass, were studied in two coniferous forest soils. The pH had been changed by addition of lime and wood-ash from 4.3-4.4 to 7.0 in one soil and from 3.9-4.4 to 6.1 in the other. Higher total microbial activities and higher bacterial growth rates, measured as soil respiration rate and thymidine

The differential absorption structure of the ozone spectrum between 250 and 330 nm has been investigated in order to determine the optimal wavelength region to be utilized for active differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) measurements. Considering aspects of atmospheric attenuation and interference from other species as well as the magnitude of the differential absorption cross sectio
