Programming real-time effects for contemporary GPUs requires writing shader programs to run on the GPU as well as code for the render state setup logic performed by the CPU. While the GPU parts are well supported by high level programming languages, the effect frameworks commonly used for the CPU parts are lacking both in functionality and expressive power, which makes them difficult to work with.

The use of prosthetic hands are limited partly due to the fact that they lack the provision of sensory feedback to the user. A first step to providing sensory feedback is having adequate sensors in the prosthesis. The WiseSkin project targets the use of artificial skin embedding ultra-low power wireless sensor nodes. This paper provides an overview of the WiseSkin artificial skin for tactile prost

This book is written by and for researchers who are still in that part of their careers where they are actively using the eye-tracker as a tool; those who have to deal with the technology, the signals, the filters, the algorithms, the experimental design, the programming of stimulus presentation, instructions to participants, working the varying tools for data analysis, and of course, worrying abo

In higher music education, all over the world, there has been an increased interest in reshaping the curriculum in order to provide the tools needed by musicians and music teachers in order for them to function in a global society. Many institutions have opened up to new genres like traditional folk music, world music, jazz and popular music. As a consequence, new didactic and pedagogic perspectiv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns över 500 kräftarter i världen och vi hittar dem på alla kontinenter utom Antarktis och Arktis. I Sverige finns två arter, den inhemska flodkräftan och den introducerade signalkräftan. Signalkräftan introducerades till stor del för att ersätta förlusten av flodkräfta i många pestdrabbade vatten i södra Sverige. Att det just blev signalkräftan berodde främst på In this thesis I examine the dynamics of crayfish in streams and lakes. I have studied the influence of abiotic and biotic factors on abundance, growth, trophic position, niche breadth, and recruitment of crayfish, by conducting field studies, an outdoor channel experiment and timeseries analysis. Overall, the results show that abundance of crayfish is mostly affected by the abundance of predatory

Folkbildning har under hela 1900-talet varit en av det moderna samhällets viktigaste byggstenar. Olof Palme beskrev en gång Sverige som en ”studiecirkeldemokrati”. Folkbildningen var med om att utveckla den svenska modellen, den moderna staten och en medborgerlig bildning som betonade gemensam identitet, gemensamt språk och nationellt medborgarskap. Idag lever vi sedan flera decennier i ett mångku
