This paper addresses design space exploration for streaming applications (such as MPEG) running on multi-processor platforms with guaranteed service interconnects. In particular, we solve mapping, path selection and router configuration problems. Given the complexity of these problems, state of the art approaches in this area largely rely on greedy heuristics, which do not guarantee optimality. Ou

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom är ett tillstånd som kännetecknas av att magsyra åker upp i matstrupen (reflux). Reflux är ett normalt fenomen som förekommer hos alla individer utan att orsaka symtom eller vävnadsskador. Hur detta normaltillstånd utvecklas till ett sjukdomstillstånd är ej helt klarlagt. Reflux förhindras normalt av en barriär vid övergången mellan matstruThere is a persisting controversy concerning the definition, etiology and pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus. The dramatic and parallel increase in the incidence of esophageal and junctional adenocarcinoma over the past decades justifies an evaluation of the pathophysiology of premalignant metaplastic changes of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction. Patients were evaluated with upper G

In this paper, we introduce a constraint programming-based approach for optimization of routing and reconfiguration overhead for a class of reconfigurable processor array architectures called weakly programmable. For a given set of different algorithms the execution of which is supposed to be switched upon request at run-time, we provide static solutions for optimal routing of data between process

The electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions in aqueous solutions of hydrophobically-modified water-soluble non-ionic or ionic polymers, their mixtures with a second polymer, nonionic or of opposite charge, and their mixtures with surfactants of opposite charge have been investigated. The relative strength of the electrostatic and hydrophobic contributions has been modulated by a variation of th

Viktor Rydberg (1828–1895) kämpade under hela sitt verksamma liv för humanistiska ideal. Ryktbarhet vann han som diktare. Mindre känd är han som forskare och kulturhistoriker. I boken lyfter tjugotre forskare från nio humanistiska ämnen fram Rydbergs betydelse för dagens humanistiska forskning.

In this paper, a passively clamped quasi-resonant DC link converter is analysed, implemented and evaluated in a battery charger application. Design expressions for selection of passive component values, based mainly on the specified maximum output voltage derivative and the duration of the zero voltage interval, are given. Design of the inductive components and selection of appropriate power semic

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Fornstora dagar, moderna tider är perspektivet vidare än i traditionellt historiografiska studier. De bruk och debatter som analyseras begränsas inte till de historievetenskapliga historieprodukterna. Studien visar att kring sekelskiftet 1900 dominerade det nationalistiska historiebruket. Under mellankrigstiden var såväl traditionella som moderna perspektiv väl represThe aim of the study is to investigate uses of and debates on Swedish history during a period of 100 years. The perspective is broader than the traditional study of history, since it supplements the search for new facts, contexts and interpretations by which meaning is ascribed the the past by different producers and consumers of history in society. The dominating use of history around 1900 was id
