When new constructs are added to a language there is a need for renovating existing programs to make use of the new constructs. We discuss how this can be done using object-oriented ReRAGs (Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars), and exemplify with the transition from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5.

In the early 1990s xenotransplantation (XTP) was a promising biotechnology, with many countries prepared to take this research to clinical trials. It was also a technology associated with so many problems and risks that the researchers sought financial support to continue their XTP research. This was, in many ways, an international concern, as the researchers tried to collaborate to overcome those

A proposed blood treatment apparatus includes : a blood treatment unit (8), at least one fluid pump (14, 15) and at least one blood pump (1a, 1b). The blood treatment unit (8) is configured to receive untreated blood and fresh blood treatment fluid, and emit treated blood and used blood treatment fluid. The fluid pump(s) (14, 15) is(are) configured to pass blood treatment fluid through the blood t

Feedback control has been applied to computing systems, usually taking a designed system and closing a loop to adjust some of its parameters. However, the design of computing systems components as controllers have shown advantages with respect to state-of-the-art techniques, especially in the scheduling domain, where uniprocessor schedulers have been designed as discrete-time control structures. H

Excessive generosity with information about one's private life or the private lives of others, known as ”oversharing”, appears to be an oft-noted phenomenon in the context of ”new” media. I have previously studied this phenomenon in connection with mobile phone conversations in public places. After having eavesdropped on, or maybe rather overheard, such conversations more systematically, I offered

This paper presents a dataflow design methodology and an associated co-exploration environment, focusing on the optimization of buffer sizes. The approach is applicable to dynamic dataflow designs and its performance is presented and validated by experimental results on the porting of an MPEG-4 Simple Profile decoder to the STM STHORM manycore platform. For the purpose of this work, the decoder ha

Vilket är världens största utmaning idag? En del säger utstampandet av terrorismen. Andra menar att det är miljöproblematiken. Själv tror jag att HIV/AIDS katastrofen i världens utvecklingsländer ska rankas högt. I väst förefaller epidemin vara under någorlunda kontroll tack vare nya effektiva mediciner. Däremot sprids farsoten med en ständigt ökande takt i u-länder. 25%, ibland upp till 35-40% av

The use of nanoparticle-based pseudostationary phases (PSPs) in capillary electrochromatography (CEC) for separation of small molecules and proteins is demonstrated. A continuous full filling approach is used where the nanoparticles are suspended in the electrolyte. A new interaction phase is introduced for every analysis, which eliminate problems with stationary phase-based carry-over effects. H
