This article argues that the Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses invented the apotheosis of Hersilia into the goddess Hora as a way to flatter the empress Livia. There are compelling parallels between the words used to describe Hersilia and Livia in Ovid’s poetry. Furthermore, Hersilia was, according to the legend, a Sabine woman who married Romulus, the founder of Rome. Livia was born into the
Two approaches to the macro basis function (MBF) method that target interconnected subdomains have been adapted to finite linear arrays, and benchmarked against each other in order to estimate their performance with respect to the strong near field coupling that occurs under the endfire mode operation. The methods, here referred to as methods A and B, are based on the synthetic function and charac
I Lunds universitets strategiska plan för 2012-2016 framhålls att man vill ”vidareutveckla det akademiska lärarskapet”. All utbildning vid lärosätet ska hålla högsta kvalitet och man ska erbjuda attraktiva och akademiskt framstående lärandemiljöer. Detta åstadkoms bland annat genom att universitetets lärare kan ”arbeta med ett forskande förhållningssätt, både i förhållande till studenternas lärand
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been important in the growth and global integration of developing economies. Both Northeast and Southeast Asia, especially the latter, have been part of this development, with increasing inflows of FDI and greater foreign participation in local economies. However, Indonesia has been an outlier within the region. Inflows of FDI have been lower to Indonesia than t
The production of chips is an inevitable part of any machining operation. Today, brass chips are commonly recycled through re-melting by the material supplier implying a “loop” where material is sent back and forth between the material supplier and the manufacturing company. The research presented in this paper evaluates a method for compaction and hot forging of brass chips into blanks for subseq
Hailed by economists as an idea whose time has come, the `new economic geography' has not been quite as favourably received by geographers. Frequently seen as a prime case of academic imperialism, few appear willing to concede that economists may have something to contribute to economic geography. Conversely, beyond the token reference to vintage publications, economistsoften dismiss geographers'
In the present study the inflammatory response was quantitatively evaluated during peripheral nerve regeneration. The fluid from silicone nerve regeneration chambers, inserted in rats, was collected during the early period of regeneration of transected sciatic nerves (6 h-7 d) and analysed with respect to inflammatory cells and mediators (leukotriene B4, LTB4, and interleukin-1 alpha, IL-1 alpha).
Situated in a broader anthropocentric and speciesist structure, carnism serves to perpetuate the objectification and exploitation of other animals. In this paper, carnistic thinking is examined in the context of how it is commonly applied to dogs, who are framed as lovable, yet subordinate to humans. Through critically discussing the social system of domestication, and by relating carnistic ideolo
A low-latency and area-efficient FFT/IFFT scheme is presented. The main idea is to utilize OFDM guard bands to reduce the operation counts and processing time, which results in 42% latency reduction compared to the reported pipelined schemes. To realize this idea, a modified pipelined architecture and an efficient data scheduling scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scala
From a universal design perspective, products should attract both people with disabilities and other persons. Design of chairs has decisive importance for activity and independence of users with physical disabilities. In an experimental study aiming at an easy chair with universal design qualities, six able-bodied young adults were asked to position a wide range of photo-represented chairs, includ
Wind turbines operating in wind farms are coupled by the wind flow. This coupling results in increased turbulence levels for downwind turbines, and consequently higher maintenance costs. In this paper, we consider a scenario where a wind farm is asked to produce less than maximum power. The objective is to minimize fatigue loads on the turbines, while maintaining the desired power production. We s
Elsystemet står inför en stor förändring som kommer av omställningen till ett utsläppsfritt samhälle. Elsystemet är en central del av vår samhälleliga infrastruktur och dess utveckling har till stor del styrts av politiska beslut även om marknaden fått allt större utrymme sedan 1990-talet. Stora tekniska system utvecklas alltid i samklang med samhällets institutioner där samhällets ramar och regl
Continued CMOS scaling is expected to make future micro-processors susceptible to transient faults, hard faults, manufacturing defects and process variations causing fault tolerance to become important even for general purpose processors targeted at the commodity market. Tomitigate the effect of decreased reliability, a number of fault-tolerant architectures have been proposed that exploit the nat
