We proposed a 4×8 array antenna with aperture-coupled patch antenna elements. The antenna was designed for 60 GHz operation and fabrication on the low-temperature cofired ceramic(LTCC) substrate(εr=5.8). The feedline with the stub was designed to enhance the radiating element bandwidth and the transition characteristics between the waveguide (WG) and microstrip line(MSL). Through the optimization
A full update of the internal dosimetry computer program IDAC has been conducted. The new update is based on new and more accurate computational phantoms to calculate effective dose and absorbed dose to organs and tissues. The new ICRP Adult Reference Computational Phantoms has been adopted as well as the latest of the ICRP standardized biokinetic models. The updated computer program includes a us
This paper is intended to give a short overview of the epidemiologic and experimental data on cancer risks associated with very low radiation absorbed doses. The paper will also discuss methods to present these data in an understandable way to those who are exposed e. g. in medical diagnostics and after a radiological or nuclear accident.
Three pyralid moths, the Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella), the almond moth (Ephestia cautella) and the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), infest food products all over the world and cause severe problems in factories, shops and households. For health and environmental reasons chemical control becomes more and more restricted. We here present some promising results offering eff

Small- and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contributed a lot to the economic growth and promote employment in China. However, they were suffering from the credit discrimination, insecure property right protection, lack of the industry support policy and social services the same time. Based on this general background, in 2003, the Law of the PRC on promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (S
Based on the Synchrotron Radiation (SR) beamline optical element-by-element alignment with analysis of the alignment results an optimized beamline alignment algorithm has been designed and developed. The alignment procedures have been designed and developed for the MAX-lab 1911-4 fixed energy beamline. It has been shown that the intermediate information received during the monochromator alignment
Single-electron transistors (SET) rely for their functionality on extreme control of lithography and lateral positioning as well as of properties of the building blocks from which the devices are built. By an aerosol-based nanoparticle fabrication we can prepare nanocrystals down to sub-10nm dimensions with metallic or semiconducting character, as well as having a core + shell design for definitio
Sustainability of Swedish meat consumption is assessed from the perspectives of nutrition, health, climate and land use. Our results suggest that more sustainable food systems can be achieved via changes in Swedish meat consumption and that our multidimensional approach can be useful in identifying such changes.
This paper describes and discusses the development of mobile exergames for children with cerebral palsy. The design process was built on co-design, and resulted in three activity games, two augmented reality (AR) games and one GPS based game. The resulting activity games were evaluated by 8 per-sons with cerebral palsy (CP). To complement this evaluation, the games have been evaluated against exis
The use of interactive visualization techniques in Digital Humanities research can be a useful addition when traditional automated machine learning techniques face difficulties, as is often the case with the exploration of large volumes of dynamic—and in many cases, noisy and conflicting—textual data from social media. Recently, the field of stance analysis has been moving from a predominantly bin
Construction is claimed to be fragmented, contract focused, short sighted and characterised by price competition. These are typical aspects of what is considered the traditional market approach where each company is seen as autonomous and transaction oriented towards others. During the last few decades, numerous theoretical approaches have questioned these assumptions. Studies also on construction
As the field of human-agent interaction (HAI) matures, it becomes essential to acknowledge and address the differing multidisciplinary approaches that support it to favor a common interdisciplinary understanding, thus adopting a broader methodological and epistemological perspective. The field of HAI recognizes that agents are not merely isolated technologies but embedded within society. Consequen
This paper presents a survey where some quality requirements that commonly affect software architecture have been prioritized with respect to cost and lead-time impact when developing software platforms and when using them. Software platforms are the basis for a product-line, i.e. a collection of functionality that a number of products are based on. The survey has been carried out in two large sof
When investigating different location and/or system designs the possible variables to take into consideration can differs between the alternatives. Different production system will have different optimal working conditions and hence should be compared with parameters suitable for the actual production system. When planning production and calculating production costs the batch size is of high inter
A method for reaching longitudinal dispersion coefficient accounting sinuosity effects is suggested. The proposed method was verified using 43 sets of measured field data from previous study were collected from 30 streams and these data were chosen depends on characteristics availability (flow parameters, fluid properties and Sinuosity). Statistical programs namely MINITAB and SPSS were used to de
