Sturm's oscillation theorem says that the zeros of the nth eigenfunction of a Sturm-Liouville problem with separated boundary conditions divides the domain into n connected pieces. We present a proof of this theorem which partly uses a variational characterization of the eigenfunctions. We also show how the variational characterization can be adapted to study some properties of the eigenvalues
Imaging of stellar surfaces in visible wavelengths is one of the current frontiers in astronomy. With a few exceptions, stars can not be seen in visible light as anything but point objects with current technology. Being able to properly image stars would open up the door to a vast field of new discoveries, permitting direct studies of phenomena such as rotationally deformed stars, circumstellar di
This paper consists of two parts. In the first part the following problem is presented (see [1]): a king invites n couples for dinner at his round table with 2n+1 seats. For each couple there is an in advance prescribed distance between 1 and n at which the two spouses of the couple have to be seated from each other. We show that there is a solution to the king’s problem for every choice of distan
A Poisson integral formula for a weighted Laplacian in the unit disc Beskrivning: In this paper a counterpart of the classical Poisson integral formula is found for a weighted Laplace differential operator in the unit disc. In the process the corresponding Dirichlet boundary value problem is solved for arbitrary continuous boundary data. The associated power series expansions are calculated and in
Digital watermarking is done by adding a piece of data to a signal, which depending on the target media type, may be a picture, audio or video signal. The purpose of this additional signal is to provide a consistent signature linked to the original source which then remains through the act of copying. This allows the author to obstruct the act of theft by adding this signal to his or her creation.
This work investigates crew opinions about manual intervention on board submarines and planned new solutions on the new submarine, the A26. The planned solutions include an unmanned aft and the installation of water mist instead of Halon 1301 as fire suppression system. Literature, survey and interviews were used to gather information. The crew routines and previous fire incidents were determined.
This report evaluates a first response with water against an underventilated fire with imminent risk of backdraft occurrence. The report is based on a literature review followed by 35 experiments conducted in a shipping container. A fire in a wood-based fuel was forced to become underventilated after which a hatch was opened and the outcome was studied. In some of the experiments a known amount of
In the wake of the state government of Western Australia presenting a plan to develop a liquefied natural gas precinct, a campaign was sparked, drawing Aboriginal peoples, community members, ‘outsiders’ and environmental groups to vocally question the intentions of the proponents through on-site blockades and the social media. This thesis presents a case study of arguments and motivations for peop
Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to bring about a change in political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of the sanctioned country while targeted sanctions are directed at the State’s government and/or individuals. Iran has become a sanction target first in 1979, which was imposed by United States
Intresset för ostron har de senaste tio åren ökat lavinartat och är nu en etablerad trend. Ostron konsumeras av tradition och bekvämlighet främst idag på restauranger och i hemmiljö. Syftet med detta projekt var att nå ett nytt marknadsområde, genom att erbjuda ostron utanför dessa tidigare etablerade arenor. En mobil ostronbar öppnar nya affärsmöjligheter och skapar ett helt unikt cateringkoncept
Kan vi verkligen lita på personliga självbeskrivningar eller lurar vi oss själva i att vi verkligen vet varför vi tycker som vi gör? Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om människor märker av en manipulation av deras personliga självbeskrivningar i moraliska påståenden eller om de kommer att vilseleda sig själva och anta manipulationen. Om det sker, kan det i så fall utgöra någon form av self-d
"Executive summary The tourism sector is today the largest business sector in the world, employing over 230 million people. It has been growing incessantly the last decades and shows no tendencies to slow down. Tourism can bring strong economic support to a developing country, but has also been pointed out as a major contributor to climate change as well as environmental degradation and poll
