Evidentiary assessment in asylum procedures is an area largely unregulated by international law. While the EU Qualification Directive does not purport to fill this lacuna, its Article 4 offers a norm that does touch on a number of central aspects of evidentiary assessment. This article provides a detailed analysis of this complex provision and its practical implications. Amongst others, the Direct
This paper presents a generic hardware-MAC for systems designed based on high rate (IEEE 802.15.3) and low rate (IEEE 802.15.4)Wireless Personal Area Networks. functionality that are better run in hardware are moved over from the software part of the MAC layer. An easy to access memory like interface has been defined for data and control transfer between the software and hardware parts of theMAC l
In this paper some of the consequences of the model for optical activity suggested by Condon are analyzed. The scattering problem is solved for a semiinfinite and a finite homogeneous slab, respectively. Specifically, the noncausal effects of this model are demonstrated. These effects are disturbingly large for many materials and the model has to be discarded as unphysical. The rotation of the pol
Joint wheel-slip and vehicle-motion estimation is considered, based on measurements from wheel encoders, an inertial measurement unit, and a global positioning system (GPS). The proposed strategy effectively employs the Rao-Blackwellized particle-filtering framework using a kinematic model. Key vari- ables in active safety systems, such as longitudinal velocity, roll angle, and wheel slip for all
Nature contains an endless supply of natural products and has for long been a source of inspiration for the pharmaceutical industry. Many of the drugs currently in clinical use originate from natural products. Paclitaxel, the active substance in the anti cancer medicine Taxol, was first isolated from the Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia) in the early 1960s during a screening program for novel an
Tailbiting trellis representations of linear block codes with an arbitrary sectionalization of the time axis are studied. A new lower bound on the maximal state complexity of an arbitrary tailbiting code is derived. The asymptotic behavior of the derived bound is investigated. Some new tailbiting representations for linear block codes of rates R=1/c, c=2,3,4 are presented
