Virtual reality carries great promise to facilitate the building process. Some examples are the communication between architects and building companies, sellers and buyers or the community planners and the general public. It is often thought that in order to utilize the possibilities of VR, for example in the above-mentioned contexts, it is necessary to use full-fledged versions of VR including fo
Abstract in UndeterminedThe MPEG Reconfigurable Video Codingworking group is developing a new library-based pro-cess for building the reference codecs of future MPEGstandards, which is based on dataflow and uses an actorlanguage called Cal. The paper presents a code genera-tor producing RTL targeting FPGAs for Cal, outlinesits structure, and demonstrates its performance on anMPEG-4 Simple Profile
With considerable flux in the peace and conflict landscape, scholars, policymakers, practitioners and publics alike are scrambling to understand emerging realities. Moreover, a sometimes slow academic publishing cycle means that much material appearing in academic journals seems already outdated–reporting on a peace and conflict landscape as though we are still in an era of comprehensive peace pro
BackgroundGeneral practitioners (GPs) do not see men with localised urinary tract infection (UTI) very often which limits their possibility of developing expertise in the area. To gain knowledge of male patients’ experiences and perspectives on localised UTIs, qualitative research is needed.AimTo explore expectations, experiences and symptoms in men with localised urinary tract infection in primar
Application specific digital signal processors are superior compared to standard digital signal processors in a number of application fields, mainly due to high throughput and low power consumption traded for flexibility. This thesis deals with two areas related to hardware implementation of custom digital signal processors: design methodology and efficient implementation of arithmetic circuits. A
A process for realisation of SiGe Esaki diodes in layers grown by ultra-high vacuum chemical vapour deposition has been developed and the first Esaki diodes are reported for this growth method. Intrinsic SiGe-layers are grown on highly boron-doped p(+)-Si layers, while post-growth proximity rapid thermal diffusion of phosphorous into the SiGe is employed to form an n(+)-layer. Tunnel diodes with a
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are rapidly becoming a de facto standard in business activity. While large and medium-sized companies have the luxury to afford proprietary ERP solutions, small companies are struggling with resource poverty which maybe makes them consider available open source ERP products which are free from licensing fee. However, there is little knowledge available on
Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningar från Cancerfonden visar på att ungefär var tredje person i Sverige kommer att få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Cancerceller är celler som har utvecklat speciella förmågor som gör att de har börjat dela sig ohämmat. Denna ohämmade celldelning leder till bildandet av en tumör och när tumören har nått ett visst stadie i sin utveckling så börjar den spridaAs a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located. This lymph node is defined as the sentinel lymph node (SLN). By analyzing the
Recent research has shown that poverty directly impeded cognitive functions because the poor could be easily distracted by monetary concerns. We argue that this effect may be limited to functions relying on working memory. For functions that rely on proceduralized processes however, monetary concerns elicited by reminding of financial demands would be conducive rather than harmful. Our results sup
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in neuronal survival through activation of TrkB receptors. The trkB gene encodes a full-length receptor tyrosine kinase (TrkB.FL) and its truncated (T1/T2) isoforms. We investigated the changes in TrkB protein levels and signaling activity under excitotoxic conditions, which are characteristic of brain ischemia, traumatic brain injur

Macroinvertebrates and fish in the contaminated river are faced with a higher risk to suffer from exposure to Hg than humans eating contaminated fish and bacteria living in the groundwater. The river sediment is the most hazardous source for the macroinvertebrates, and macroinvertebrates make up the highest risk for fish. The distribution of body concentrations of Hg in fish in the mining areas of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Allergiska besvär från luftvägarna utgör ett stort och växande folkhälsoproblem. Det finns idag ingen bot mot dessa sjukdomar och de kan, om de inte behandlas, utgöra ett betydande hinder i vardagen. Även om dagens mediciner i de allra flesta fall kuperar symtomen väl, vet man, att många patienter är odiagnostiserade eller saknar behandling trots diagnos. Målet med behAllergic diseases, which constitute a global health problem, have been defined as one of the epidemics of the twenty-first century. Since there are no cures for allergic diseases today, the goal of treatment is to get the disease under control so that the patient can live a normal life with optimal chances of development. Patient-reported outcomes for control assessment have been a focus of attent
The most common preventive and treatment service for children in child welfare services in Sweden is the contact family program. The number of children who are involved in the program has steadily increased. Usually it is a single mother who apply for or is offered this service. The aim with a contact family is that the parent should get respite and that the child should have its network enlarged
The invention of the integrated circuit is a key milestone in the history of electronic circuits. Since its introduction the number of components on a chip have increased rapidly, making them more powerful and able to perform complex operations, but it has also changed the design process. Today different parts of a chip can be developed separately as Intellectual Property (IP) and then put togethe
Authentication for phone calls is important for companies with hundreds of customers wanting to access sensitive information. However, it is sub-par compared to authentication when using applications or websites. In this thesis, seven models have been developed for how to use BankID as the authentication service during phone calls. The purpose of all models is to use the BankID API to provide the
Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera förhållandet mellan bestämmelser om penningtvätt och dataskyddsrätt, med fokus på huruvida företags förpliktelser enligt penningtvättslagen påverkas av reglerna i dataskyddsförordningen. Den tekniska utvecklingen har bidragit inte bara till att underlätta för individer och företag utan också för den ekonomiska brottligheten. Genom utnyttjande av The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyse the relationship between regulations on money laundering and data protection law, with a focus on whether companies' obligations under the Money Laundering Act are affected by the rules in the data protection regulation. Technological developments have contributed not only to making it easier for individuals and companies, but also for fina
