Thread Level Speculation (TLS) has been suggested as a mean to automatically (or semi-automatically) extract parallelism from sequential programs. While there have been multiple attempts both in hardware and software to implement real time TLS, to the best of our knowledge all attempts have so far been on a byte code level or with statically typed languages. In this study, we examine the potential

Analysis of Saraband, the last TV-production by Ingmar Bergman.

Vann McGee has proposed a counterexample to the Ramsey Test. In the counterexample, a seemingly trustworthy source has testified that p and that if not-p, then q. If one subsequently learns not-p (and so learns that the source is wrong about p), then one has reason to doubt the trustworthiness of the source (perhaps even the identity of the source) and so, the argument goes, one has reason to doub

We report on the implementation and performance of a pulse generator based on a gated tunnel diode that has been integrated with a wave-guide oscillator. The gate is used to modulate the magnitude of the negative differential resistance in the gated tunnel diode and to control the oscillations in the circuit. In particular, it can be used to create short pulses of oscillations by turning the oscil

THERE WAS A TIME when many philosophers agreed that metaphysics was dead. Anyone aquatinted with the works of D.H. Mellor knows that the subject is alive and well. Two young philosophers who are familiar with his work, Anna-Sofia Maurin and Johannes Persson, met him in Cambrige for an interview.

Efficient CAD tools are desired to reduce the increasing design efforts when algorithms implemented on ASICs are getting more complicated. For microprogrammed accelerator design, a control unit synthesizer is of great importance since the manual design of a controller for a complicated task requires substantial effort. While a hardware specific implementation results in higher performance or lower

In this thesis tactical intelligence collection is studied. The aim is to investigate how the intelligence collection is affected by using a gender perspective. In the study interviews with experienced collectors are made and the data is analyzed using content analysis. It is found that gender affects which type of intelligence can be collected and how the collector can act in a tactical situation

In this paper we present a working hypothesis that there is need to further analyze Botswana’s colonial era if we are to understand several aspects of contemporary economic structures. Our focus is on identifying the roots of post-independence high levels of inequality. We have constructed social tables for 1936-1964, covering all but the very first decades of colonial rule, and based on them we h
