In a free-electron laser (FEL), the technique of wiggler tapering enables the sustained growth of radiation power beyond the initial saturation. With the goal to develop anX-ray FEL in the terawatt power regime, it is important to utilize this technique and optimize the taper profile,giving the wiggler parameter as a function of the distance along the wiggler line. This article examines two method

This article focuses on the justification of a positive and a negative attitude respectively towards judicial review. The analysis is performed by textual analysis of the texts of four authors with different opinions on the subject matter: Robert Dahl and Jeremy Waldron who have a negative attitude towards judicial review, and Erwin Chemerinsky and Ronald Dworkin who have a positive attitude. A th

The paper is based on a general conceptual supply chain flow risk model developed in an earlier paper, a literature review and case studies. The paper has the title "Developing a supply chain risk model" and is reported as a final paper at the NOFOMA 2005 conference. The literature review has been focusing articles and reports/books on supply chain management. Some of its findings have earlier bee

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze three persistent charges that Israeli and Western officials persistently leveled against Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad since 2006: 1) that he has threaded to 'wipe Israel off the map the map'; 2) that he is a Holocaust denier; and 3) that he is developing nuclear weapons, presumedly to use against Israel. Although Iran repeatedly has denied all 3 ch

The trade-off between throughput and memory constraints is a common design problem in embedded systems, and especially for streaming applications, where the memory in question usually occurs in the form of buffers for streams of data. This paper presents a methodology, based on the post-processing of dataflow execution traces, that enables designers to make principled choices in the design space f

Nature is a key component in many kinds of tourism experiences and is commonly perceived as an explicit goal of doing tourism. This is a long-standing feature in the histories of tourism, and presently in many contemporary, service-based economies it coincides with a cultural emphasis on nature in many other commercial representations and manifestations. This can be seen e.g. in how permutations o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroniska bensår utgör en av våra folksjukdomar, där 1% av befolkningen någon gång drabbas. Uppkomsten av sår kan ha en mängd olika orsaker. Den största gruppen är venösa sår, dvs sådana som orsakats av vensjukdom. Behandling av sår har i långa tider betraktats som komplicerad, då såren ofta varit svårläkta och återkommit efter läkning. För den enskilde patienten innebärWound management in primary and community care was investigated throughout a period of 12 years within a well-defined population in one county in Southern Sweden. The estimated prevalence of chronic leg and foot ulcers was 0.19% in 1998 and the mean prevalence was 0.20% during the years 1994-1998. Venous ulcers were the most common (38%) and 7% of the nurses’ workload was devoted to ulcer care. Du
