Designing hardware using High Level Synthesis automates parts of the digital hardware design process. By automating the process control is passed from the designer to the tool, thus it is highly important that the tool generates high performance hardware in terms of area and speed. This thesis explores the tool performance of Vivado HLS using two designs implemented anew with High Level Synthesis

This research investigates the contribution of local currencies to sustainability. I look at a specific local currency scheme (the Bristol Pound, in Bristol, United Kingdom) through a transitions perspective, employing a Transitions Evaluation Framework, Multi-Level and Multi-Phase Perspectives to conduct my analysis. I use a qualitative triangulation approach to collect data, namely semi-structur

In 2014 during an organisational restructuring of Sony Electronics in Lund, an ongoing inhouse project to develop a resource management software was rushed to completion. The software had at the time been in active development by a team of software engineers for over a year but was quickly brought to completion to meet the new directives. Without clear product ownership and review, the softwa

Den här uppsatsen undersöker den svenska implementeringen av andelsbytesmekanismen för privatpersoner, som återfinns i artikel 8 i Fusions-Direktivet, hädanefter FD. Uppsatsen undersöker även hur Sverige har valt att skydda sin beskattningsrätt när aktieägaren emigrerar till en annan EU MS medan hen äger aktier erhållna via ett andelsbyte. Syftet bakom undersökningen är att utreda huruvida om den This thesis examines the Swedish implementation of the exchange of shares mechanism for individuals, found in article 8 of the Tax Merger Directive, henceforth TMD, and how Sweden has chosen to safeguard its taxation right when the shareholder holding exchanged shares emigrates to another EU MS. The purpose behind this is to examine if the Swedish im-plementation, given the more recent case-law fr

This masters thesis presents a new approach to enable complex illuminationand shadowing for transparent objects such as glass or smoke. This is achievedby combining two algorithms which are intended to run in a real-time environment commonly found in modern computer games. The first algorithm is called "Light Linked List", it solves the problem of illuminating transparent objects and was

Invasive alien species cause harm to native flora and fauna, and can ultimately via biotic interactions and alterations of the abiotic conditions change entire ecosystems. They have therefore during the last decades gotten more attention and are now recognised as one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide. When invasive plants establish in an area, one concern is that their presence can af

Competence requirements is a field that has reached broad recognition in areas such as the Logistics & Supply Chain Management (L&SCM). Yet, in the DES field, there is little research which emphasizes on competencies or prerequisites for DES application. The goal for this master thesis is to explore and analyse what competencies and prerequisites facilitates DES application. The focus of t

This thesis aims to evaluate the performance of Siemens’ High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool Catapult. HLS can be considered the next step up in abstraction level from writing traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) code which is time consuming and error prone. The promise of HLS is to speed up the process of designing integrated circuits by lifting the abstraction level so the design can be coded f

In polaritons, the properties of matter are modified by mixing the molecular transitions with light modes inside a cavity. Resultant hybrid light-matter states exhibit energy level shifts, are delocalized over many molecular units, and have a different excited-state potential energy landscape, which leads to modified exciton dynamics. Previously, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians have been derived to des

Across the world, the pandemic has made many of us rapidly change (at least temporarily) how we organize, work, and live, provoking a series of urgent questions. What is our relationship with the family, community, environment and the state? How should we structure our work? How do we value essential work and workers? How are we going to live, work, and organize differently in a post-pandemic worl

After emerging in China in late 2019, the novel Severe acute respiratory syndrome-like coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide and as of early 2021, continues to significantly impact most countries. Only a small number of coronaviruses are known to infect humans, and only two are associated with the severe outcomes associated with SARS-CoV-2: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavir

After emerging in China in late 2019, the novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide, and as of mid- 2021, it remains a significant threat globally. Only a few coronaviruses are known to infect humans, and only two cause infections similar in severity to SARS-CoV-2: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, a species closely related

As global warming is proceeding due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, the Earth system moves towards climate states that challenge adaptation. Past Earth system states are offering possible modelling systems for the global warming of the coming decades. These include the climate of the mid-Pliocene (∼ 3 Ma), the last interglacial (∼ 129-116 ka) and the mid-Holocene (∼ 6 ka). The simulations

This paper gives a brief overview of the Gaia Research for European Astronomy Training (GREAT) network, including a description of the GREAT-ESF Research Network Programme and the GREAT Initial Training Network (GREAT-ITN). Scientific highlights from the GREAT-ITN are noted.

Analyzing microstructural properties projected along white matter pathways derived from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Along-streamline profiling based on diffusion MRI tractometry is a framework that maps summary measures of the diffusion data (e.g., fractional anisotropy) at multiple points along a given pathway, resulting in a so-call

The mechanomyogram (MMG) is a mechanical oscillations observable on the surface of the skin as a muscle contracts. Measurement of the MMG utilizing contact sensors with a weight greater than 6 g has proved to interfere with the measurement. Use of optical displacement sensors without direct contact to the skin would remove this deficiency. A Michelson interferometer, an intensity shift set-up and
