This paper describes a setup for measurements of the permittivity and the permeability at temperatures from room temperature up to 1000 °C using a single rectangular waveguide. The hardware design of the setup that can handle these temperatures is developed and described. Measurements on a NiZn ferrite sample are performed in order to evaluate the performance of the setup and the procedure that is
Anthropologists have a long history talking about what we should do when we research less powerful or subordinate groups. We build rapport, we give them voice, we describe their world to others, we show their problems and their solutions. We have a kind of solidarity with them. But more of us are now researching groups with autonomous resources and power. I myself have been with NGO elites, planne
This thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first part contains three chapters dealing with the analysis of duration data from an econometric perspective and with application to trade durations. The second part, consisting of the final chapter, focuses on the analysis of panel data and proposes a new test for poolability of the slope coefficients in cointegrated panel regressions. Chapter
The academic discourse on the need for a shared political public sphere at the level of the European Union has in recent years produced the conventional wisdom that such an emerging transnational community of communication is already observable in the mass media. However, the empirical indicators on which this notion is based tend to accommodate parallel national public spheres rather than a genui

The European solar energy business faces the challenge of developing more cost-effective solar energy systems and one solution could be using concentrating hybrid PVT systems. Two such hybrids, the Swedish systems MaReCo and Solar8, are evaluated in this study. MaReCo is a fixed concentrating system with a high angle of acceptance. Solar8 is a new system, which is under development. It is inspired
