Public Private Partnership, PPP, is a public procurement method involving the private sector used in several countries all over the world, now upcoming in Sweden. The UK, most prominent within this method, states that it offers good value for money, but the economic and financial benefits of PPP are still uncertain and subjects of debate. In order for the projects to be successful and to achieve v
Complex SOCs areincreasingly tested in a modular fashion, which enables us torecord the yield-per-module. In this paper, we consider theyield-per-module as the pass probability of the module smanufacturing test. We use it to exploit the abort-on-fail featureof ATEs, in order to reduce the expected test application time. Wepresent a model for expected test application time, which obtainsincreasing
The interference based analysis of Bose Einstein Correlations in the Lund Model has hitherto been limited to simple strings without gluonic excitations. A new fragmentation method based on the Area Law in the Lund Model allows such an analysis to be extended to multigluon strings.
In this article we evaluate the work out of artificial neural networks as tools for helping and support in the medical diagnosis. In particular we compare the usability of one supervised and two unsupervised neural network architectures for medical diagnoses of lower urinary tract dysfunctions. The purpose is to develop a system that aid urologists in obtaining diagnoses, which will yield improved
This is a detailed guide on the principles of cognitive therapy as they are applied to problems of emotion (anxiety, sadness, anger), skill (assertiveness, problem-solving), and general confidence in children and adolescents. The title is slightly misleading in the sense that there is little in the book that specifically relates to how this treatment would be applied in school settings by school p
This paper shares the experiences of 5 universities involved in a benchmarking exercise on e-learning in 2009 through ESMU. A total of 9 European universities participated in the exercise with the purpose of evaluating their existing e-learning practices and policies and getting advice on which areas to improve and how. Initially, the paper discusses the benchmarking concept and reasons why insti
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling berör metoder för hur beräkningsmekaniken kan förbättras med avseende på förbättrad och effektiv användning av verktyg och resurser. Den berör också ideér för hur verktyg i beräkningsmekanik skall kunna tillämpas i områden där dessa ej tidigare använts. Tre huvudområden har studerats: Effektiv och transparent tillgång till finita element applikationer, This work concern ideas and methods on how the context of computational mechanics can be improved for more efficient utilisation and extended into areas previously not familiar with or capable of using such tools. Three main areas were studied: Providing efficient and transparent access to finite element applications, development of methods for the visualisation of complex phenomena and improving
Knowledge concerning how the built environment should be designed to allow accessibility for persons with different disablements is not sufficiently applied in building design and facilities management. Many of the difficulties in traditional paper based design to communicate and validate the use of a building can be overcome by the new possibilities that are offered by object oriented 3D based ca
A runtime system for implementation of image processing operations is presented. It is designed for working in a flexible and distributed environment related to the software architecture of a newly developed UAV system. The software architecture is characterized at a coarse scale as a three level system, with a deliberate layer at the top, a reactive layer in the middle, and a processing layer at
Earlier research performed on axially loaded concrete prisms shows that crack widths close to reinforcement are smaller and less dependent on concrete cover than crack widths at the concrete surface. To check practical applicability of these results a similar experimental investigation of cracking behaviour has been undertaken for beams loaded in bending. The influence of steel stress and concrete
In the present article we continue investigating the algebraic dependence of commuting elements in q-deformed Heisenberg algebras. We provide a simple proof that the 0-chain subalgebra is a maximal commutative subalgebra when q is of free type and that it coincides with the centralizer (commutant) of any one of its elements dierent from the scalar multiples of the unity. We review the Burchnall-Ch
Empirical and theoretical research on the demand for health inputs has been, and still is, extensive. However, it is not only important to analyse how household choice is affected by alternative and household specific attributes. but it is equally important to analyse the welfare implications of, for example, a change in the price of different inputs. Policyrnakers and donor agencies involved in s
The development of an efficient asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1,6-dibromodiene afforded a chiral biselectrophilic diol that displayed highly useful reactivity in water, as demonstrated by a three-step, two-pot asymmetric synthesis of a highly functionalized tetrahydrofuran.
Low-lying resonance states in 7He(6He+n), formed after fragmentation reactions of a 227 MeV/nucleon 8He beam on a carbon target, have been studied. Coincidences between 6He nuclei and neutrons, corresponding to the one-neutron knockout channel in 8He, were selected. The relative energy spectrum in the 6He+n system shows a structure, which is interpreted as the 7He ( Ipi = 3/2(-)) ground state, unb
Purpose To analyse the consequences of using different radiographic measurements and different threshold values for hip screening in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods In a total sample of children with CP a standardised radiological follow-up of the hips was carried out as a part of a hip prevention programme. Acetabular index (AI) and migration percentage (MP) were measured on all radiog
We describe a simple combinatorial approximation algorithm for finding a shortest (simple) cycle in an undirected graph. For an undirected graph G of unknown girth k, our algorithm returns with high probability a cycle of length at most 2k for even k and 2k + 2 for odd k, in time O(n(3/2) root logn). Thus, in general, it yields a 2 2/3 approximation. We study also the problem of finding a simple c
