An M-BCJR algorithm is proposed and tested over an AWGN channel with moderate to very intense intersymbol interference (ISI). Two M-BCJR applications are evaluated, simple detection over the ISI channel and turbo equalization. The signaling is binary faster than Nyquist linear modulation. The ISI models tested correspond to transmission of increasingly many bits/Hz-s with a fixed signal spectra; t

Boken innehåller en löpande kommentar till och analys av Hegels första huvudverk "Phänomenologie des Geistes" (1807). Därutöver rymmer den ett antal undersökningar om olika teman och problem relaterade till Hegels verk. Dess grundläggande idé samt övergripande struktur lyfts fram, liksom den idéhistoriska kontext i vilken boken tillkom.

Current and future processor generations are based on multicore architectures where the performance increase comes from an increasing number of cores on a chip. In order to utilize the performance potential of multicore architectures the programs also need to be parallel, but writing parallel programs is a non-trivial task. Transactional memory tries to ease parallel program development by providi

The occurrences of the Romanian interjection "via" in the two published corpora of spoken Romanian (CORV and IV) are analysed using conversation analysis methods and notions from pragmatics and cognitive linguistics. The chapter focuses on the sequential distribution of the interjection, and includes an analysis of the collocations and syntactic relationships that "via" can bear, as well as an ana

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jäst kan antingen bryta ner socker direkt till koldioxid och vatten genom andning, eller indirekt via koldioxid och etanol, genom jäsning. Andning är en process som förbrukar syre, och sker därför endast under syrerika (aeroba) förhållanden. Jäsning kräver till skillnad från andning inte tillgång till syre, och kan därför ske under syrefattiga (anaeroba) förhållanden. Under aerobic conditions, most yeasts such as Kluyveromyces lactis, prefer the respiratory pathway and some, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae prefer less energy efficient fermentative pathway for their energy metabolism. These two metabolic strategies are also known as Crabtree negative and Crabtree positive respectively, and the evolution of the latter has lately been explained by the “make-accum

Om minnet av Raoul Wallenberg i Ungern under och efter kommunismtiden.

This paper addresses Test Application Time (TAT)reduction for core-based 3D Stacked ICs (SICs). Applyingtraditional test scheduling methods used for non-stacked chiptesting where the same test schedule is applied both at wafer testand at final test to SICs, leads to unnecessarily high TAT. This isbecause the final test of 3D-SICs includes the testing of all thestacked chips. A key challenge in 3D-

Michael Tapper considers Swedish culture and ideas from the period 1965 to 2012 as expressed in detective fiction and film in the tradition of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. Believing the Swedish police narrative tradition to be part and parcel of the European history of ideas and culture, Tapper argues thaSwedish Copst, from being feared and despised, the police emerged as heroes and part of the mod

We study ways to expedite Yates's algorithm for computing the zeta and Moebius transforms of a function defined on the subset lattice. We develop a trimmed variant of Moebius inversion that proceeds point by point, finishing the calculation at a subset before considering its supersets. For an n-element universe U and a family F of its subsets, trimmed Moebius inversion allows us to compute the num

In this paper we show that several metals, elements and energy resources are about to run into scarcity within the next decades, and most elements within some centuries. A new global systems model was assembled to analyse this scarcity as a continuation of the model used in the Limits-to-Growth World3 model. We show that this scarcity will lead to “peak wealth”, “peak population”, “peak costs”, “p
