In Rabinowicz 2008, taking my departure from Ruth Chang’s notion of parity in value and from Joshua Gert’s attempt to clarify this notion, I considered how value relations can best be analyzed in terms of fitting pro-attitudes. In the formal model I put forward, fitting pro-attitudes are represented by the class of permissible preference orderings on a domain of items that are being compared. As i

The PID controller is the most common controller and it is taught in most introductory automatic control courses. To develop an intuitive understanding of the basic concepts of the PID controller and PID parameter tuning, interactive and freely available tools are important. A PID module for educational purposes has been implemented in JGrafchart, a freely available development environment for the

Optimization is becoming a standard methodology in many engineering disciplines to improve products and processes. The need for optimization is driven by factors such as increased costs for raw materials and stricter environmental regulations as well as a general need to meet increased competition. As model-based design processes are being used increasingly in industry, the prerequisites for optim

Over the last ten years, there has been a great deal of research and development in Sweden in the field of rehabilitation robotics. The research effort has often focused on workplace adaptations. This paper deals with four robotic adaptations, all of whic

To improve testability of integrated circuits against manufacturing defects, and to better handle the complexity of modern designs during debugging and characterization, it is common to embed testing, debugging, configuration, and monitoring features (called on-chip instruments) within the chip. IEEE P1687 proposes a flexible network for accessing and operating such on-chip instruments from outsid

The social dimensions of the great transformation from an agrarian to an industrial society are still poorly understood. Today there are challenging opportunities to study such processes in Asia, and to do this against a comparative background of similar transformations elsewhere, for example in Europe, and in the light of theories of social mobility, industrialisation and agrarian change. This st

In this paper the established link between Mathematical Morphology and DT-CNN is used to derive a new template decomposition procedure. It is based on the decomposition of morphological structuring elements. From a practical point of view, template decomposition is an important issue since image processing operations can be non-local while the cells in physical DT-CNN realizations often only commu
