This paper describes how high-speed computer vision can be used in a motion control application. The specific application investigated is a dart catching robot. Computer vision is used to detect a flying dart and a filtering algorithm predicts its future trajectory. This will give data to a robot controller allowing it to catch the dart. The performance of the implemented components indicates that
Solid waste collection and hauling account for the greater part of the total cost in modern solid waste management systems. In a recent initiative, 3,300 Swedish recycling containers have been fitted with level sensors and wireless communication equipment thereby giving waste collection operators access to real-time information on the status of each container. In a previous study (Johansson, 2006)

This note contains a few brief remarks on the similarities and differences between some standard market design applications (e.g., kidney exchange and school choice) and the refugee assignment problem. The main conclusion is that the refugee assignment problem is more complex in some dimensions than many of the standard market design applications. Consequently, classical mechanisms cannot be used
Veterligen sympatiserade inga svenska nationalekonomer med Hitlers Tredjerike. I denna artikel riktas inte desto mindre uppmärksamhet mot en av de mestframträdande ekonomerna, Gustav Cassel. Detta mot bakgrund av att hanunder mellankrigstiden, fram till Hitlers maktövertagande 1933, var mycketengagerad i och för Tyskland. Hur hanterade han den tyska genomklappningen?I Cassels memoarer framstår Naz
This paper presents and discusses how to support disciplinary communities of academic teachersto create a lasting change in educational culture. By stressing the similarities with the fully accepted research culture and their research knowledge this have been possible. Evaluations consistentlyshow that participants appreciate the collegial approach. It offers them an opportunity to deal withchalle
In this paper, we have analyzed a nationwide debate following the introduction of an individual meritsystem for educational development. When reforms are aimed towards research, even the toughestdiscussions can most often be resolved when arguments are backed by evidence. Not surprisingly, as this goes hand in hand with the language and mindset of the receivers in the researchcommunity. But, when
The role of raw plantain flour (RPF) and its citric acid (CA)-esterified counterpart (EPF) on the carbohydrate nutritional properties of cookies was investigated. Cookies were elaborated with commercial wheat flour (CWF), RPF, EPF, or a CWF-EPF blend, and assessed for composition, starch digestibility, texture and sensory properties. EPF-cookie showed the lowest digestible starch (DS) content and

I den offentlege debatten om høgare utdanning er undervisarane påfallande fråverande. Dei sterkaste stemmene tilhøyrar politikarane, studentane, institusjonsleiarane og pedagogane. Når undervisarane melder seg på er det oftast i ein klagesong over høgt arbeidspress, krevjande studentar og mangel på tid og ressursar til forsking. Kvifor oppfattar brorparten av undervisarar i hI den offentlege debatten om høgare utdanning er undervisarane påfallande fråverande.

Objectives: Measurement of lactate in fetal blood is used to assess the degree of anaerobic metabolism. The technical difficulties in obtaining enough scalp blood for analysis by a bloodgas-analyzer advocates for the use of a point-of-care device. StatStrip®Xpress™ (SSX) has shown promising properties but needs further evaluation before imp
The stability properties of discrete time model reference adaptive control systems are examined. Lyapunov functions and strong convergence results are given for some classes of adaptive systems.
Hardwood lignin is made of up to 75% syringyl-units and the bioconversion of syringate and syringaldehyde is therefore of considerable interest for biological valorization of lignin. In the current study, we have isolated a syringate-consuming bacterium identified as Microbacterium sp. RG1 and characterized its growth on several lignin mode
