Embedded systems often operate in so variable con- ditions that design can only be carried out for some worst-case scenario. This leads to over-provisioned resources, and undue power consumption. Feedback control is an effective (and not yet fully explored) way to tailor resource usage online, thereby making the system behave and consume as if it was optimized for each specific utilization case. A
Rationale and Objectives: To compare the ability of normalized versus non-normalized metabolite ratios to differentiate recurrent brain tumor from radiation injury using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in previously treated patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with previous diagnosis of primary intracranial neoplasm confirmed with biopsy/resection, previously treated with ra
Nanotechnology is a collective definition referring to every technology and science which operates on a nanoscale. Nanoparticles have different properties than larger particles and these properties can be utilized in a wide spectre of areas such as in medicine, information technologies, energy production and storage, materials, manufacturing and environmental applications. Although nano-derived a
During the past two decades several studies pointed out the contradiction between abundance of natural resources and its negative impact on economic growth and development. This paradox has been widely observed and documented throughout the development literature. In this context, China’s increasing demand for natural resources and consequent growing trade and influence in developing countries has
Tidigare studier har dokumenterat ett flertal fossila meteoriter samt höga koncentrationer av utomjordisk kromit (ett järn-kromoxidmineral) i cirka 467 miljoner år gamla, mellanordoviciska sedimentlager. Fynden antas vara resultaten av ett tillfälligt förhöjt inflöde av meteoritiskt material, efter uppbrytningen av en kropp i asteroidbältet – de så kallade L-kondriternas föräldrakropp – för omkriNumerous fossil meteorites and high concentrations of sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (EC) grains with typical ordinary chondritic composition have previously been documented from 467±1.6 Ma Ma lower Kundan (Middle Ordovician) strata. These finds most likely reflect a temporarily enhanced influx of ordinary chon- dritic matter, following the disruption of the L chondrite parent body i
Denna uppsats behandlar self-cleaning vid uteslutning av leverantörer till följd av brott som innefattar bestickning eller korruption. Närmare bestämt utreder uppsatsen vilka bedömningsgrunder en upphandlande myndighet börha vid bedömningen av en leverantörs self-cleaning härom. Som en konsekvens av att ha begått brott som innefattar bestickning eller korruption kan en leverantör uteslutas från aThis essay concerns self-cleaning in connection with exclusion of public contract suppliers due to bribery or corruption. More specifically, the essay examines on what grounds contracting authorities should assess a self-cleaning. As a consequence of being found guilty of bribery or corruption, suppliers can be excluded from the procurement procedure. However, the newly introduced Swedish Public
Following the idea of aerotropolis, New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) was initiated under Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development to strongly promote the role of Yogyakarta as part of the economic and tourism centers in Indonesia. However, the establishment of this national strategic project is not without controversy. Groups of local people refused
In the present time, the rate of environmental degradation requires us to use all available means to avoid further damage and restore the environment to the best of our possibilities. Education is an important channel to promote environmentalism and sustainability, and to promote pro-environmental individual decisions, especially regarding consumption and purchasing patterns. The case study analys
The primary rule of absolute duty to prosecute is stated in 20:6 RB. This means that the prosecutor is obliged to engage prosecution when there is sufficient evidence for a conviction. The possibility of waiver of prosecution is stated in 20:7 RB and is an exception from the absolute duty of prosecution. The prosecutor can decide to waive prosecution for minor offense not resulting in any other pe
This report presents how far NCC current VDC tools and methods in building construction can be implemented in road and infrastructure projects also what new tools, methods that can be created helped by pre-selected software’s. VDC is well developed within the construction of building and research and resources in the field have been spent under a longer period of time unlike in road and infrastruc
This master thesis is written at Tetra Pak, Carton Value - 8&19 Line engineering and the Centre of Mathematical Statistics in Lund. There is a growing interest in utilizing multivariate statistical techniques for condition based monitoring of industrial processes. This master thesis is a prestudy into the application of four such well-established multivariate tests for the analysis of Tetra Pa
Higher music education (HME) in Europe is multifaceted due to the great variety of legal frameworks, conservatory histories and practices. However, following the Bologna declaration in 1999, traditional conservatories are gradually transforming into research-based institutions, which means combining advanced performer training with artistic research.

The focus of this work is detecting pedestrians, captured in a surveillance setting, and locating them in world coordinates. Commonly adopted search strategies operate in the image plane to address the object detection problem with machine learning, for example using scale-space pyramid with the sliding windows methodology or object proposals. In contrast, here a new search space is presented, whi
In atherogenesis, free oxygen radicals cause a lipid peroxidation of apoB100-containing lipoproteins in the blood, at the blood–endothelium-interface and in the subendothelial space. These lipoproteins easily aggregate, bind to their receptor heparan sulfate proteoglycan and calcify to arteriosclerotic nanoplaques (ternary complexes). Nanoplaque formation was measured by ellipsometry, both in vitr

Embryonic allografted human tissue in patients with Parkinson's disease has been shown to survive and ameliorate many of the symptoms of this disease. Despite this success, the practical problems of using this tissue coupled to the ethical restrictions of using aborted human fetal tissue have lead to an exploration for alternative sources of suitable material for grafting, including xenogeneic emb
The great chemist Glenn Seaborg has written a delightful little book "Man-made Transuranium Elements", published in 1963, in which he points out that: "The former basic criterion for the discovery of a new element - namely, chemical identification and separation from all previously-known elements - had to be changed in the case of lawrencium (element 103). This also may be true for elements beyond
In blind source separation (BSS), multiple mixtures acquired by an array of sensors are processed in order to recover the initial multiple source signals. While a variety of Independent Component Analysis (ICA)-based techniques are being used, in this paper we used a newly proposed method: The Degenerate Unmixing and Estimation Technique (DUET). The method applies when sources are W-disjoint ortho
Milk is rich in miRNAs that appear to play important roles in the postnatal development of all mammals. Currently, two competing hypotheses exist: the functional hypothesis, which proposes that milk miRNAs are transferred to the offspring and exert physiological regulatory functions, and the nutritional hypothesis, which suggests that these molecules do not reach the systemic circulation of the mi
