The field of phylogenomics has emerged during the last five years, as the number of fully or partially sequenced genomes has increased rapidly. Using whole genomes for phylogenetic studies greatly increases the accuracy of the trees determined, and can potentially resolve phylogenetic questions that could not be resolved bu studies using only a few gene sequences. In the current thesis selected p
This article explores the environmental impact of logistics service provider (LPS) activities in the light of increased customer priorities and the fragmentation of the industry. The research is based on a narrative literature review, an interview study, a case survey, and three in-depth case studies. A framework on sustainability challenges in supply chains derived from the literature is used to
Data from several languages, including Swedish, have shown that children with specific language impairment (SLI) have particular difficulties with verb morphology. In the present study, the verb morphology of six Swedish children with SLI was further explored in longitudinal and cross-sectional data. It was found that the children with SLI had significant problems with the use of auxiliary and mod
Abstract in Undetermined Continental Can-domen uppfattades som omvälvande, men när jag trettio år senare läser om domsskälen är det slående hur brett formulerade de är. I slutet av sitt principiella resonemang, som förklarar varför även strukturella förändringar kan bli föremål för ingrepp, uttalar EG-domstolen: (27) … for the strengthening of the position of an undertaking may be an abuse and pro
The Cognitive Interview (CI) is a well-researched interview method and the research results show that CI, compared with more conventional interview styles, enhances witnesses’ memory. However, not much research has been done on the question of how CI affects the realism of eyewitnesses’ judgments of confidence in the veracity of their interview statements. In a previous study (Granhag, Jonsson &am
Computing systems are becoming more and more complex and powerful every year. It is nowadays not uncommon to run several server applications on the same physical platform. This gives rise to a need for resource reservation techniques, so that administrators may prioritize some applications, or customers, over others. This article gives a brief introduction to the Linux kernel 2.6 task scheduler. T
This paper presents a method for auto-tuning interactive ray tracing on GPUs using a hardware model. Getting full performance from modern GPUs is a challenging task. Workloads which require a guaranteed performance over several runs must select parameters for the worst performance of all runs. Our method uses an analyti- cal GPU performance model to predict the current frame’s render- ing time usi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Färger innehåller mer tillförlitlig information än vad bara skillnader i ljusintensitet gör. Det är därför inte svårt att förstå varför de allra flesta landlevande ryggradsdjur har färgseende. Några upplever en färgfattigare värld än vi människor, men många ser fler färgnyanser. På kvällen däremot gör bristen på ljus det svårt att se färger. Trots detta finns det nattakMost terrestrial vertebrates have colour vision, some perceive a less colourful world and others actually discriminate a wider colour spectrum than humans do. Still, we can all make use of the valuable colour information, which is more rigid than just brightness. However, at night when the light is dim, the lack of photons makes colour vision difficult. Nevertheless, some hawkmoths and bees can se
Due to the new generation of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, users are no longer constrained to their traditional devices such as PCs and laptops in order to access the information they need. This has given rise to a new trend in Business Intelligence (BI) coined mobile BI. This new term reflects an organizing vision, created by a broad community, which is prominent during the com
Primary effects of road traffic noise on sleep, as derived from EEG, EOG, and EMG, were studied for seven young males (aged 21–27) in their homes along roads with heavy traffic during the night. A more quiet experimental condition was obtained by mounting sound-insulating material in the window openings, thus reducing the interiors noise level by an average of 8 dB(A). The present investigation sh
