This memo reports on factors that drive and inhibit the digitalization of security systems. The reported factors are as follows: Technology-push factors • Need to lower costs on the end-user side, i.e. replacing labour with technology • Perceived convenience and ease-of-use of digital systems • Digital products can be connected to the current enterprise network; enabling an expanding set of secur
Global climate change has enormous impacts on urban areas in the developing world. The known and growing effects of climate change, like increased temperatures and increased incidence of severe storms, is evident. This winter, 2015, extreme cold waves and snow storms hit the Middle East region. Death rates in Syrian refugee camps were significant due to inefficient temporary shelters. Children and
By pulse-modulating a cw dye-laser beam and employing the delayed-coincidence technique, we have determined the natural radiative lifetimes of a number of atomic states in rare-earth atoms Eu, Dy, and Yb. In the measurements, which were performed on an atomic beam, exponential decay curves with good statistics were obtained using short measuring times. The general features of the technique are dis
Vocal learning is a critical behavioral substrate for spoken human language. It is a rare trait found in three distantly related groups of birds-songbirds, hummingbirds, and parrots. These avian groups have remarkably similar systems of cerebral vocal nuclei for the control of learned vocalizations that are not found in their more closely related vocal non-learning relatives. These findings led to
Temperature limitations of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) in transient single operation and steady-state Hybrid System (HS) operation with Gas Turbines (GT) are presented. For transient SOFC simulations, an unsteady-state SOFC model was developed by upgrading a detailed validated steady-state model. As critical SOFC single operation modes, concerning the risk of material cracking due to exceeding S
In order to prepare for the potentially negative influence of insertion devices (IDs) on beam lifetime, injection effi- ciency and beam size in the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring, a strategy for neutralizing the foreseen effects of the IDs has been developed. The strategy involves a local correction of the betatron phase advance by adjusting the strength of the quadrupoles adjacent to the ID as well as
To optimize productivity and working-life quality, it is important to understand and utilise the connections between productivity and working environment. Culture and the state of the market may affect the strength of these connections. However, in order to ensure flexibility and quality in products and services, it may be useful to have motivated, skilled and responsible coworkers at all levels.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Allteftersom kraven på kvalité och prestanda hos dagens produkter ökar används alltmer avancerade material som en del av modern produktion. Problemet som uppstår är dock att dessa material ställer nya krav på tillverkningsprocessen och då inte minst vid skärande bearbetning. Trots att en betydande mängd forskning redan har publicerats vad gäller skärande bearbetning av As quality and performance demands on today’s products increases, more and more advanced materials are being used during modern production. The problem is however that this in turn place new demands on the machining processes utilized. Even though a significant amount of research has been published on the machining of these materials knowledge is still limited in several crucial areas. A problem w
A 2.5V/12b/30MS/s randomly time interleaved ADC system has been implemented. Using this circuit an earlier presented [6] blind gain error equalization method has been verified. It is verified that the gain in each ADC unit can be found and equalized by using the blind estimation method, since the randomization assures that there is no correlation between the ADC unit used and the input data. It ha
