The role of modern ICT-services providers has changed from easily defined system engineers to full-scale providers. The types, or profiles, of projects supplied by such providers are not very well understood. In this article a company specific analysis of a set of projects is presented. The analysis clarifies the types of projects and discusses the features of those types. Five distinctive prof...

Aeration of activated sludge is very costly and therefore it is desirable to operate the treatment plant at as low DO concentration as possible without risking poor effluent quality. This paper presents a study of the impact of DO concentration on sludge properties at a full scale wastewater treatment plant which utilizes pre-denitrification followed by aeration in activated sludge and with pos...

In the last twenty years, countries throughout the world have experienced severe bouts of financial instability. Banking crises have become so common that it is the rare country that has not experienced one, while full-scale financial crises have struck some economies with devastating effects. Financial instability, although a particularly severe problem for emerging-market countries which suff...

In recent years, fast spreading worms have become one of the major threats to the security of the Internet. In order to defend against future worms, it is important to understand how worms propagate and how different scanning strategies affect their propagation. In this paper, we model and analyze worm propagation under various scanning strategies, such as idealized scan, uniform scan, divide-a...

The electronic transmission properties of DNA molecules are believed to play a significant role in many physical phenomena taking place in living organisms [1]. Here we study the charge transport (CT) properties of cancer-related genes, including some of the most important tumor suppressors. We find that the changes in averaged CT around the sites of pathogenic and cancerous mutations are stati...

Well-being in a small group can be tied to how much its members interact. Small group tours are social occasions, and the discussion that ensues has been shown by ethnographers to be important for a more enriching experience. Increasing conversation can thus be seen as a way to improve social and psychological well-being. We present DramaTric, a mobile presentation system that delivers hour-lon...

Tracing back from Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes [9] many approaches have been proposed to extend the DEA production model to non-convex technologies. The FDH method were introduced by Deprins, Simar and Tulkens [13] and it only assumes a free disposal assumption of the technology. This paper, continues further an earlier work by Briec and Horvath [7]. Among other things, a new class of semilattice...

Published near-field analyses of full-scale jet noise are limited, and the application of observed laboratory scale phenomena to full-scale jets is not well understood. To obtain a greater understanding of the connection between radiated noise and source characteristics in full-scale, heated, supersonic jets produced by military aircraft, acoustical measurements were made in the geometric near ...
