This dissertation has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, it provides an annotated translation of the full text of the Bowu zhi by Zhang Hua (232-300), an intriguing early mediaeval work that contains passages which throw interesting light on a number of fields in mediaeval Chinese scholarship and the development of traditional Chinese science. As reference to the Bowu zhi is rendered difficult by the pa

In this paper a method for fitting open surfaces to data obtained from images is presented using a level set representation of the surface. This is done by tracking a curve, representing the boundary, on the implicitly defined surface. This curve is given as the intersection of the level set describing the surface and an auxiliary level set. These two level sets are propagated using the same motio

Det förefaller bildas ett slags vardagsetiskt tomrum i massutbildningssystemet, vilket nu bland annat fylls genom betoningen av social kompetens i skolan. Social kompetens tenderar att bli den vardagsetiska aspekten av vår tids bildning. Den viktiga frågan att diskutera är inte om vi ska ha undervisning och träning i social kompetens i skolan eller inte, utan snarare hur det kan komma sig att vard

interactIVe has the objective to develop new integrated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In order to evaluate these ADAS, an evaluation framework is required. Therefore, a horizontal subproject called “Evaluation and Legal Aspects” is part of interactIVe, with the main objective to provide this framework and give support to the vertical subprojects in their evaluation work. The purpose o

This is a basic textbook in the psychology of religion, originally published in 1985, used at almost all basic courses at university level in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. The book has been revised four times (1989, 1993, 1999, 2000). New chapters on contemporary spirituality and coping theory have been added.

A collection of original chapters focusing on young people and their political involvement, their use of the internet and other new media for learning the roles and practices of various forms ofcitizenship. The collection is analytically framed by the current dilemmas of democracy

De senaste två decennierna har införandet av kvalitetssäkring varit en bland såväl privata som offentliga verksamheter i Sverige. Trenden har fört med sig nya kvalitetssäkringstekniker, kontrollformer och i viss mån normer och värderingar. I boken beskrivs de tämligen olika förändringsprocesser som införandet av kvalitetssäkring har gett upphov till i hälso- och sjukvården samt revisionsbranschen.

Crosstalk is one of the main limiting factors in the data rates achievable by digital subscriber line (DSL) systems, and several algorithms have been proposed to mitigate this impairment. In this paper, we compare the capacity of binders under different crosstalk-mitigating techniques. When computing capacity, we also compare two different power constraints: either on the total power in the binder

Engineering design problems are most frequently charac-terized by constraints that make them hard to solve and time-consuming. When evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems, constraints are often handled with the generic weighted sum method or with techniques specific to the prob-lem at hand. Most commonly, all constraints are evaluated at each generation, and it is also necessary

We have experimented with proprioception in a bio-inspired self-organizing haptic system. To this end a 12 d.o.f. anthropomorphic robot hand with proprioceptive sensors was developed. The system uses a self-organizing map for the mapping of the explored objects. In our experiments the system was trained and tested with 10 different objects of different sizes from two different shape categories. To
