The national QA system in Sweden does not any longer include assessment of the institutions’ internal QA procedures. The Experts Group on Quality at the Swedish Association for Higher Education (SHUF) has proposed and tested how voluntary audits can be performed by the institutions in collaboration, coordinated by SUHF. The audits have quality enhancement as its sole purpose. The audit method focu

This paper provides a general framework for electromagnetic modeling, computation and measurements regarding the wave propagation characteristics of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power cables. The modeling is focused on very long (10 km or more) HVDC power cables and the relevant frequency range is therefore in the low-frequency regime of about 0-100 kHz. An exact dispersion relation is form

Background: Presumed effects of global warming on occupational heat stress aggravate conditions in many parts of the world, in particular in developing countries. In order to assess and evaluate conditions, heat stress must be described correctly and measured correctly. Objective: Assessment of heat stress using internationally recognized methods. Design: Two such methods are wet bulb globe temper

This paper presents a constructive algorithm for memory-aware task assignment and scheduling, which is a part of the prototype system MATAS. The algorithm is well suited for image and video processing applications which have hard memory constraints as well as constraints on cost, execution time, and resource usage. Our algorithm takes into account code and data memory constraints together with the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens samhälle är mycket beroende av fordonsbränslen och kemikalier som producerats av råolja. Framtidens tillgång på råolja är oviss, det enda som är säkert är att det är en ändlig resurs. Användningen av olja bidrar dessutom till koldioxidutsläpp till atmosfären. För att säkra framtida tillförsel av energi och kemikalier till samhället och för att uppnå ett mer klimaMany scientists believe that the oil production will peak in the near future, if the peak has not already occurred. Peak oil theories and uncertain future oil deliveries have stimulated interest in alternative sources of fuel and chemicals. This interest has been enhanced by concerns about energy security and about the climate change caused by emissions of carbon dioxide. The result has been incre

To overcome the bottleneck of the one-way translation from VR (virtual reality) to CAD in VR-based CAD system, this paper proposes a Web-based VR-CAD system WVCD (Web-based virtual conceptual designer) to support both customers’ and design team members' involvement in the conceptual design and analysis activity over the Internet. It provides users with both parametric and freehand methods to creat

This paper presents an investigation concerning the introduction of Extreme Programming (XP) in software development organisations. More specifically the concept of using a decision support method known as the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is evaluated by a group of students and a group of developers and the outcome is compared to experiences from an XP case study. The results provide an indi
