In this work, we extend on our recently proposed block sparse chroma estimator, such that the method also allows for signals with time-varying envelopes. Using a spline-based amplitude modulation of the chroma dictionary, the refined estimator is able to model longer frames than our earlier approach, as well as to model highly time-localized signals, and signals containing sudden bursts, such as t

Analysis of gender certification (genuscertifering) policies and actions at Lund, Uppsala and Umeå universities. Lund began a pilot program, Umeå used it as marketing strategy and Uppsala rejected the measures for further gender-based governance. Chapter to appear an anthology on Swedish higher education

Despite the fact that we evidently have very good block ciphers at hand today, some fundamental questions on their security are still unsolved. One such fundamental problem is to precisely assess the security of a given block cipher with respect to linear cryptanalysis. In by far most of the cases we have to make (clearly wrong) assumptions, e.g., assume independent round-keys. Besides being unsat

Considers the close musical connections between Sweden and Germany, and how they were affected by the cultural policies of Nazi Germany in 1939-45. A wide range of topics are discussed including the reception of Swedish music in Nazi Germany, the relationship between Kurt Atterberg and Moses Pergament and national socialism, and the reaction of Swedish radio audiences to German music.

The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of machinability and dynamic stability when turning a nickel-based superalloy with WRA tools in a conventional and prototype toolholders. The use of the prototype toolholder with a spatial structure is shown to significantly suppress vibrations during the machining and stabilize the process within the cutting speed range between 200 and 400

In this paper we address the problem of generating efficient software implementations for a large class of dataflow programs that is characterized by highly data-dependent behavior and which is therefore in general not amenable to compile-time scheduling. Previous work on implementing dataflow programs has emphasized classes of stream processing algorithms that exhibit sufficiently regular behavio

The chapter discusses the potential of public procurement to contribute to sustainable development through circular economy ideas.

The aim of this thesis has been to provide further understanding of skin barrier function from a chemical point of view. The main barrier is known to be located in the outermost layer of the skin, stratum corneum, composed of cornified flattened cells in conjunction with an extracellular lipid-water matrix. From literature it is evident that the lipids of this matrix are arranged as bilayers, alig

The memo is a short summary of the impressions that have come out of the LUSAX research to date from an alliance perspective. The main focus is on the lack of clear vision of intended goal or target within the industry. The end conclusion being that companies that wish to succeed need to formalize a strategy with a clear goal and a positioning towards that goal, with explicit intent and coordinati
