Bilateral and multilateral development cooperation agencies are to an increasing extent promoting and adopting a sector-wide approach (SWAp) in their development cooperation. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), for example, joined their first sector-wide approach cooperation in the late 90s, and today they are involved in SWAps in countries in Africa, Asia and Latin...

FACTS technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. STATCOM is oneof the most important FACTS devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. Since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper STATCOM is used...

Agents provide suitable mechanisms for modelling complex interactions in distributed systems. In some cases, though, classical agents interactions may exhibit issues of complexity and rigidness. These issues can lead to cumbersome and inefficient implementations. Introducing workflow and especially task principles into agents interactions extends the mechanisms available to agent modellers. Wit...

The objective of this study was to gain knowledge about the impact a shift from protein dominated starch continous phase. Furthermore, determine differences in fat emulsification on macroscopic behavior imitation cheese when casein is replaced by chemically modified starch. A novel confocal laser scanning microscopy approach applied microstructure melting properties and texture. Using combinati...

Evidence suggests that in Iwaija, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of northern Australia, the Intonation Phrase (IP) is an integrated entity, one which is typical of a cursus language (Pulgram,1970) like French, in which words in connected speech give up some of the properties they exhibit in isolation. A salient feature of the prosody of this language is syllabification across content word boundari...
