This paper presents a novel approach to scheduling communications among concurrent hardware processes mapped onto a "System on a Programmable Chip." Point-to-point, broadcast and multi-cast ommunication types are supported. The algorithm has been prototyped on the Processor-Coupled Polymorphous Fabric for the Altera Excalibur Arm architecture. The communication schedule problem has been specified

Today a broad body of literature has emerged within the IS research community investigating the organizational consequences of IS implementations. However in view of these developments, it seems that practitioners are still faced with implementation problems, such as user dissatisfaction, resistance and mismatches between the new technology and existing work practices. It is this tension, within a

In this paper we study the distribution of the product of an inverse Wishart random matrix and a Gaussian random vector. We derive its asymptotic distribution as well as its approximate density function formula which is based on the Gaussian integral and the third order Taylor expansion. Furthermore, we compare obtained asymptotic and approximate density functions with the exact density which is o

In order to understand completely the role of aerosols in atmosphere, their chemical composition is of basic importance.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av dagens biotekniska processer syftar till att framställa protein. Det är proteinets användningsområde som är avgörande för vilka renhetskrav som ställs på produkten. I vissa fall måste proteinet vara helt fritt från föroreningar för att inte åstadkomma oönskade effekter. Vaccinframställning är ett exempel på en sådan tillämpning. För andra ändamål, t ex vid framTwo polymers, alginate and Eudragit S-100 were used as reversibly soluble-insoluble ligand carriers for the selective isolation of enzymes and lectins respectively. These two polymers have the inherent property of being precipitated under well defined conditions. Alginate was made insoluble by the addition of Ca2+ ions, and Eudragit S-100 by a pH shift. The polymers were modified with affinity lig

The distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic value has given rise to a batch of fundamental questions concerning the very nature, importance and coherence of our core value concepts. Section I outlines an approach to the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic value that has taxonomical advantages. Recent work has alerted us to the fact that the traditional way of explicating extrinsic valu

Facts are once again put to work in philosophical enterprises. The discussion in this paper is conducted under the presumption that we for this reason need to examine the nature of facts anew. To some extent it has been taken for granted that the question of properties and particulars is the primary problem to solve, and that the question of facts is secondary. This approach naturally leads to man
