Experiences of a CPS Course on Embedded Control

The paper presents a CPS-oriented course that integrates control theory and embedded computing. The course combines concurrent real-time programming and analysis with discrete-time sampled control theory and real-time networking. The contents of course, including the course projects are described in the paper as well as the experiences with the course.

Modelling the gold market, explaining the past and assessing the physical and economical sustainability of future scenarios

By using an integrated dynamic model we are able to reconstruct the supply and gold price of the past (1920-2010) and this is used to predict the future supply of gold to the market and to make a forecast of the goldprice 2010-2100. The model was validated against field data for the period 1920-2010 and it performs well. The model GOLD is implemented in the STELLA® software and the model described

Hierarchical stochastic motion blur rasterization

We present a hierarchical traversal algorithm for stochastic rasterization of motion blur, which efficiently reduces the number of inside tests needed to resolve spatio-temporal visibility. Our method is based on novel tile against moving primitive tests that also provide temporal bounds for the overlap. The algorithm works entirely in homogeneous coordinates, supports MSAA, facilitates efficient

REX: A Computer Program for PIXE Spectrum Resolution of Aerosols

REX is a Fortran program for analysis of spectra obtained in PIXE analysis. The underlying model is still under development; however, one year of experience has demonstrated REX’s capability to be a fast reliable tool. The modeling of the different components and effects of the physical model is briefly discussed. Evidence is shown that secondary effects mostly due to Compton-scattering in and aro

Expression and function of vascular estrogen receptors alpha and beta

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det kvinnliga könshormonet östrogen utövar sin effekt via två bindningsprotein (receptorer) benämnda ERa och ERb. Då östrogen binder till receptorn aktiverar alternativt inaktiverar detta komplex sekvenser av DNA molekylen. Således reglerar den aktiverade receptorn för östrogen genaktivitet och därmed syntes av proteiner viktiga för den normala cell- och vävnadsfunktionEstrogen receptors (ER) are expressed not only in classical target organs for estrogen like breast and uterus, but also in male reproductive system as well as in non-reproductive organs such as brain, liver and bone. The functions of ER are quite well known in reproductive organs but less information is available regarding their function in vascular tissue. The objective of this thesis was to inve

Detection and Characterisation of Salmonella in Animal Feed Samples by PCR-Based Methods

Animal feed is a recognised source of Salmonella enterica for farm livestock and may also indirectly cause infection in people consuming foods of animal origin. It is therefore important to have rapid, reproducible and specific methods for the detection of Salmonella in feed, and for the characterisation of strains for further epidemiological investigations or to trace the source of contamination

En kritisk undersökning av det modernistiska projektet för design i Sverige.

The thesis has one aim: to investigate the modernist project for design in Sweden and extract its dominant ideals, with the purpose of discussing it critically. The ideals of the modernist project for design make the social democratic thought manifest. These ideals are interpreted as a socialistic aesthetic. The results of the investigation can be summoned up in the following conclusions: When a c

Culture of Medicinal Plants in the city of Fortaleza as a proposal for the sustainable development of the municipality

Medicinal plants cultivation has grown all over the world. This paper studies the role of Medicinal plants cultivation in sustainable development. The research takes the city of Fortaleza in Brazil as a case study. The results show that the proposed Living Pharmacy Program, which has been implanting for more than 20 years since 1990 in the municipality of Fortaleza, is enlarging the access of the
