The role of beliefs, expectations and values in decision-making favoring climate change adaptation—implications for communications with European forest professionals

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Beliefs, expectations and values are often assumed to drive decisions about climate change adaptation. We tested hypotheses based on this assumption using survey responses from 508 European forest professionals in ten countries.

To Mitigate or Adapt? Explaining Why Citizens Responding to Climate Change Favour the Former

open access: yesLand, 2021
Why do citizens’ decisions made because they favour the mitigation of climate change outnumber those made because they favour adaptation to its impacts? Using data collected in a survey of 338 citizens of Malmö, Sweden, we tested two hypotheses.

Complexity evaluation for the implementation of a pre-FFT equalizer in an OFDM receiver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A pre-FFT equalizer (PFE) has been shown to offer a significant throughput efficiency improvement when applied to an OFDM receiver. Alternatively, the PFE can be used to increase the maximum delay spread conditions under which the OFDM system can operate
