To achieve software product quality professional skill and knowledge is important. The way to reach software product quality is often structured approaches for software quality such as SPI and CMM which have been criticized for lack of a knowledge perspective. The view taken in this study is that software product quality is related to interpretations and understanding in practice, and thus on prac
A high resolution TPC is the main option for a central tracking detector at the future International Linear Collider (ILC). It is planned that the MPGD (Micro Pattern Gas Detector) technology will be used for the readout. A Large Prototype TPC at DESY has been used to test the performance of MPGDs in an electron beam of energies up to 6 GeV. The first step in the technology development was to demo
This article presents a research agenda about waste management from the perspective of management and organization studies. The agenda suggests that scholars should draw upon research on waste governance, lean management, the circular economy, and sustainable consumption. It also suggests, in a crossdisciplinary spirit, that scholars should heed research on waste within other social sciences and t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste årtiondena har både kraftsensorer och digitala kameror kommit att bli vanliga som sensorer i olika robotiktillämpningar. Denna avhandling behandlar olika problem inom visuell rörelseskattning och återkoppling, samt integrationen av dessa tekniker med reglering av kontaktkrafter för en industrirobot. Olika ämnen tas upp, från grundläggande teori till praOver the last decades, both force sensors and cameras have emerged as useful sensors for different applications in robotics. This thesis considers a number of dynamic visual tracking and control problems, as well as the integration of these techniques with contact force control. Different topics ranging from basic theory to system implementation and applications are treated. A new interface develo
The computation of the Capon and the amplitude and phase estimation (APES) filters can be very time consuming. The burden lies not only in the inversion of the sample covariance matrix, but also in the matrix multiplications. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for the computation of the above mentioned filters, using Cholesky factorization and fast Fourier transforms. Furthermore, we
We show that Calogero-Sutherland models for interacting particles have a natural supersymmetric extension. For the construction, we use Jacobians that appear in certain superspaces. Some of the resulting Hamiltonians have a direct interpretation as models for two kinds of interacting particles. One model may serve to describe interacting electrons in a lower and upper band of a one-dimensional sem
Uninformed buyers' demand for statistical screening between privately informed sellers is studied in a fixed price market. A single buyer will screen more extensively than would two or more buyers, since in the latter case buyers realize that sellers will be attracted to buyers with the most favorable screening policy (i.e., not to screen at all). This result is robust to some but not all types of
Test scheduling and Test Access Mechanism (TAM)design are two important tasks in the development of a System-on-Chip (SOC)test solution.Previous test scheduling techniques assume a dedicated designed TAM which have the advantage of high exibility in the scheduling process. However,hardware verhead for implementing the TAM and additional routing is required of the TAMs.In this paper we propose a te
In marked contrast with the ideal error-free feedback assumption that is common in the literature, practical systems are likely to have severely bandwidth-limited, error-prone feedback channels. We consider the scenario where feedback from the receiver is used by the transmitter to select the best antenna, out of many available antennas, for data transmission. Feedback errors cause the transmitter
Biodegradation is becoming an attractive mode of operation for eliminating toxic chemicals released from industrial processes or already present in the environment. One needs, however, not only to identify organisms capable of degrading such chemicals, but also to address the issue of whether these chemicals, after being degraded, will be toxic to the degrading organisms if present in high concent

Popular Abstract in Swedish Biotekniska läkemedel blir allt vanligare och behandlar några av våra viktigaste sjukdomar. Några exempel är insulin för diabetes, tillväxthormon, vacciner, och antikroppar som används i behandling av bland annat cancer, rheumatism och mag- tarmsjukdomar. Dessa läkemedel är proteiner eller peptider som tillverkas i jäst eller djurceller och sedan måste utvinnas ur celleTo design efficient and safe biopharmaceutical production processes, understanding the process and how it is affected by changes in the process conditions is essential. Experimental data form the basis of this understanding which can be enhanced by modeling and simulations of the physical and chemical processes known to control the process. This thesis describes modeling of preparative chromatogra
The availability of three-dimensional structures of proteins has provided enormous insight into the detailed molecular machinery of the living cell. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, experimental methods for deriving protein structures have contributed more than 30,000 entries to the Protein Data Bank, representing the collected knowledge of protein and other macromolecular structures. However
In the autumn of 2011, the course “The City: Boundary Transgressions and Visual Expressions” was given for the first time. Formally placed at the Division of Art History and Visual Studies, the course was a collaboration with the Division of Social Anthropology and was directed towards students from a range of disciplines within the fields of the humanities and social sciences. The course include
