We evaluate a new class of rate-distortion codes based on simple linear congruential recursions. Codes are demonstrated for the uniform and Gaussian sources, whose performance exceeds that so far reported in the literature, including that reported for TCQ codes. The results also point to a new correlation relationship that apparently must exist for trellis codes.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vatten- och läskflaskor av polyetylentereftalat, PET, kan både återanvändas (återfyllbara flaskor) och/eller återvinnas. Vid återvinning kan materialet användas för tillverkning av nya flaskor, sk closed-loop recycling. I både återfyllbara flaskor och flaskor som innehåller återvunnet material kan det förekomma ämnen som tidigare trängt in i plasten. Dessa kan antingen The reuse and closed-loop recycling of food packaging was studied in order to assess consumer safety and the sensory quality (e.g. taste and smell) of packaged food. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles that were refillable or that contained recycled material, either in direct contact or with a functional barrier protecting the food, were investigated with focus on odorous compounds f

The aim of this study is to assess and analyze the image of revolutionary China in the eyes of Swedish leftwing travelers and activists during the heyday of Maoism, and how these traveler’s and activist’s reports and texts were used to promote friendship activism with China. Of particular interest is how the euphoric view of China in the west, during the Cultural revolution, was promoted and also

Extracorporeal adsorption (ECAT) is a novel strategy to reduce activity in whole body (WB), blood and radiosensitive organs by removing the excess of radiolabeled and biotinylated monoclonal antibody (MAb) from blood so that tumor/normal tissue ratio (T/N) could be improved. By increasing T/N, higher amounts of radiolabeled MAb might be administered, making it possible to treat disseminated carcin

Om monument över Raoul Wallenberg i Sverige och Ungern.

I kapitlet problematiseras den sociala rättigheten till skolutbildning på gymnasial nivå i Sverige med fokus på yrkes- och lärlingsutbildning utifrån ett medborgarskapsperspektiv. Syftet är att analysera hur ungdomarnas sociala rättighet till gymnasial utbildning förverkligas av statliga och kommunala aktörer. Jag avgränsar mig till att studera hur skolrepresentanter och tjänstemän på lokal nivå,

During the 1990’s the diversity idea entered the Swedish socio-political debate under the name ‘mångfald’. The concept originated in the United States and discusses how organizations can be more efficient if they combat discrimination and acknowledge differences. This development attracted the attention of mass-media and led to the publication of books, articles and reports that advocated or comme

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla celler behöver energi och de skaffar den på olika sätt, t. ex. från oxidering av mat eller från solljus. Adenosin trifosfat (ATP), som kallas för cellens energivaluta, kan dock inte syntetiseras direkt från mat eller ljus. Nästan alla organismer utnyttjar proteinkomplex i form av en andningskedja som sitter i membranet för att alstra en proton potential. Det kan liComplex I is the mitochondrial enzyme complex that oxidizes NADH produced in the citric acid cycle and reduces quinone in the membrane, coupled to proton pumping out of the mitochondrial matrix, creating a membrane potential. This process generates about 40% of the energy used by living organisms. High-resolution structures of complex I recently became available, but the molecular mechanism behind

The temperature in a concrete bridge is affected by complex interactions of climatic factors. Varying concrete temperature will give rise to movements in the longitudinal as well as the transverse directions. Inspections of certain box girder bridges have shown cracks in only the thin vertical walls, which may be an indication of a geometrical influence. A sequence of climate input data deemed as
