In market-driven product development and release planning, it is important to market success to find the right balance among competing quality requirements. To address this issue, a conceptual model that incorporates quality as a dimension in addition to the cost and value dimensions used in prioritisation approaches for functional requirements has been developed. In this paper, we present an indu

276 patients with Alzheimer's disease receiving galantamine in the Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study were investigated for safety and dropout. Completion rates and reasons for dropout were monitored. The occurrence and time of death was investigated. Galantamine was well tolerated and few side effects were observed. The most frequent cause of dropout during the first year was side effects (n=9), t

A Multi-band CMOS front-end was designed and fabricated in a 0.13μm CMOS process. The front-end employs a common-gate low noise amplifier (LNA) with capacitive cross coupling (CCC) technique and a double balanced mixer. The band selection is performed by switching capacitors in and out of the LNA load, changing the resonance frequencies ranging from 2.5GHz to 4.5GHz in 16 different frequency bands

The interaction of molecules with their environment has a profound effect on dynamics in molecular systems. System-bath interactions, or the interaction of electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom, are important in order to understand chemical reactions and transport of energy and electrons in the condensed phase. In order to investigate system-bath interactions one needs to probe the underlying

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen Det förbjudna mödraskapet argumenterar jag för att surrogatmödraskap bör tillåtas också i Sverige. Idag är metoden förbjuden. Ett av de bärande argumenten är att en legalisering skulle kunna bidra till att bryta ner flera konservativa föreställningar som idag finns kring kvinnors roll i reproduktonen.Surrogate motherhood, or surrogacy, means that a woman carries a child with the explicit intention not to keep the child after the birth. This reproductive method is illegal according to Swedish legislation. The question at heart of the dissertation is the following: Can a legal prohibition of surrogacy be morally justified? My answer is simple no. Consequently, I work with the thesis that there a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Specifik språkstörning är ett tillstånd som kännetecknas av en avvikande tal- och språkstörning hos ett i övrigt friskt och normalutvecklat barn. Tillståndet beror således inte på en allmänt försenad utveckling, hörselnedsättning, uppenbar neurologisk eller psykisk sjukdom. Ofta har flera familjemedlemmar varit sena i sin tal- och språkutveckling eller har läs- och skriSpecific language impairment (SLI) is commonly described as a condition where a child with otherwise normal development and hearing does not acquire language as expected. Children with SLI often have a family history of language disorders. The aetiology is poorly understood. In the first two studies, event-related brain potentials(ERPs)evoked in response to tone- and to speech stimuli were record

The recently increased scholarly interest in pseudo script has opened a somewhat new avenue within traditional Egyptological studies, offering a deeper insight into marking systems which traditionally are not included within the boundaries of established written languages and/or iconographical representation. Thus, in addition to studying the rich and well preserved demotic and Greek inscriptions

Drylands is an extension of the four-day workshop on sustainable use of rangelands and desertification control held in Jeddah in November 1996.

In this paper we present an observer-based adaptive control scheme for robot manipulators, for which we have both unmeasured velocity and uncertain parameters. Using the observer back-stepping method, a reduced-order adaptive velocity observer can be designed independently from the state-feedback controller, which uses damping terms to compensate the presence of the estimation error in the trackin

All available literature, dealing with optical model calculations, has been reviewed to aid in assessing suitable well parameters and to indicate when the model has been successful in predicting various nuclear data. The material investigated has been indexed according to nuclide, and short abstracts have been prepared to provide a concise summary of the contents and main results. 342 references w
