We present a method for solving the previously unstudied problem of localizing a set of receivers and directions from transmitters placed far from the receivers, measuring unsynchronized time of arrival data. The same problem is present in node localization of microphone and antenna arrays. The solution algorithm using 5 receivers and 9 transmitters is extended to the overdetermined case in a stra

1 INTRODUCTION In a global and highly competitive economy, companies have now adopted an increasingly integrated ap-proach to product development. However, packaging logistics has been left out from this integration trend. The reasons are multiple: first packaging is not considered to be an integral part of the product, so it is not part of the product “culture” of the company. In most companies,

Post-silicon validation and debug, or ensuring that software executes correctly on the silicon of a multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSOC) is complicated, as it involves checking global properties that are distributed on the chip. In this paper we define an architecture to non-intrusively observe global properties at run time using distributed monitors. The architecture enables to perform actions

To find a controller that provides the maximal stability margin to an LTI system under rank-one perturbations is a quasiconvex problem. In the paper, the dual quasiconvex problem is obtained, using the convex duality arguments in the Hardy space H∞. It is shown that the dual problem can be viewed as minimization of a "length" of uncertainties that destabilize the system. Several examples establish

This paper describes a MSc level digital ASIC project course. The majority of the course participants are international students, having a wide spread in previous knowledge in the field of digital HW-design. A course outline adapting to this fact has been developed, changing from one joint VLSI project towards smaller individual projects. The diversity in previous knowledge is evened out by adding

In this thesis, theoretical models are applied to study some aspects of intrinsically disordered proteins, i.e. proteins that partly or entirely lack a stable native structure. In particular, focus is on peptide binding and aggregation. Knowledge about these mechanisms is important for understanding how proteins interact with each other and how mutations can affect the function and sometimes give

This keynote lecture presents and analyses the so-called Berlin Theses, the formal name of which is "A Time for Recommitment", a dialogue document presented and approved by the International Council of Christians and Jews.

This study is based on an entire cohort (n = 192) of 67-year-old persons born in 1902 and 1903 and living in a community in Southern Sweden. All subjects participated in interviews, psychological tests, and medical examinations. All contacts with primary health care and social services were recorded, as were death diagnoses. The cohort has been followed since 1969, with nine examinations until age

Hits from an in silico derived focused library for CRTH2 were transformed into highly selective antagonists with favorable ADME properties. Oral administration of 4-bromo-2-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)phenoxyacetic acid (19) inhibited peribronchial eosinophilia and mucus cell hyperplasia in a mouse model of allergic asthma, supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel compound class. In

The year-book Kyrkohistorisk Årsskrift 2006 contains nine articles on Ecclesiastical History from the twelfth to the twentieth century, as well as several book reviews.

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) have distinctive depth distributions and vertical movement patterns. They remain in the uniformed temperature surface layer at night and can descend to greater than 500 m depth at dawn. They thus mirror the vertical migrations of the small nektonic organisms of the deep sound scattering layer and extensively exploit these as a food resource. At their maximum depths, bi

Systematic studies of the literature can be done in different ways. In particular, different guidelines propose different first steps in their recommendations, e.g. start with search strings in different databases or start with the reference lists of a starting set of papers. In software engineering, the main recommended first step is using search strings in a number of databases, while in inform
