This paper describes a MSc level digital ASIC project course. The majority of the course participants are international students, having a wide spread in previous knowledge in the field of digital HW-design. A course outline adapting to this fact has been developed, changing from one joint VLSI project towards smaller individual projects. The diversity in previous knowledge is evened out by adding

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antibiotikaresistens hos pneumokocker har utvecklats till ett problem i hela världen. Interkontinental spridning av ett fåtal resistenta kloner verkar stå för den snabba ökningen av förekomsten av pneumokocker med nedsatt känslighet för penicillin (PNSP). Förekomst av PNSP har reducerat behandlingsalternativen för såväl vanliga luftvägsinfektioner som invasiva infektionPneumococcal resistance to antibiotics has become a worldwide problem. The rapid increase in frequency seems to be caused by intercontinental spread of a few resistant clones. Resistance to antibiotics in pneumococci has reduced the therapeutic arsenal for common respiratory tract infections as well as for invasive infections. Problems of specific clinical concern are meningitis due to penicillin-

In this thesis, theoretical models are applied to study some aspects of intrinsically disordered proteins, i.e. proteins that partly or entirely lack a stable native structure. In particular, focus is on peptide binding and aggregation. Knowledge about these mechanisms is important for understanding how proteins interact with each other and how mutations can affect the function and sometimes give

In this paper we consider a mobile platform performing partial hand-eye calibration and Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) using images of the floor along with the assumptions of planar motion and constant internal camera parameters. The method used is based on a direct parametrisation of the camera motion, combined with an iterative scheme for determining the motion parameters from inte

Suggesting a twofold model of classification for varying forms of divination, the article briefly describes, from a historical perspective, a number of prominent Hindu divinatory techniques such as animal omens, oneiromancy, physiognomy, chiromancy, pneumomancy, oracular voices, bibliomancy and geomancy.

This keynote lecture presents and analyses the so-called Berlin Theses, the formal name of which is "A Time for Recommitment", a dialogue document presented and approved by the International Council of Christians and Jews.

This study is based on an entire cohort (n = 192) of 67-year-old persons born in 1902 and 1903 and living in a community in Southern Sweden. All subjects participated in interviews, psychological tests, and medical examinations. All contacts with primary health care and social services were recorded, as were death diagnoses. The cohort has been followed since 1969, with nine examinations until age

Vehicular networks bring new ways of viewing road traffic management and safety applications. For the first time, it will be possible for vehicles to exchange information and build fine-grained knowledge about the current situation, estimating risks and adapting their driving. Central to these applications is the need to exchange information in a highly dynamic environment, building a view of the

The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of, and develop a model to explain, interrelations between purchasing strategies carried out by buyers within vaccine supply chains for developing countries and their buyer-supplier power structure. In the humanitarian aid context, availability of required goods (e.g. health related products) at the right time and place is of vital import

The significance of load modeling for voltage stability studies has been emphasized by several disturbances, which have taken place in the past years. They have shown that the loads in combination with other dynamics are among the main contributors of prolonged low voltage conditions, voltage instability and collapse in the power system. As a result of these disturbances new investigations have co
