Chinese Remainder Theorem is used to solving problems in computing, coding and cryptography. In computing we can compute with shorter numbers instead of large numbers and this will make the computing-process faster and easier. In coding it can be used for error-searching and error-regulating. Cryptography means that we can send a coded message and that no one will be able to read it without the d

The weakness of Japan's economy during the "lost decade" of the 1990's prompted critical revaluation of many regulatory policies that became entrenched during the country's rapid expansion in the postwar era. At the time of the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, regulation and the behavior of the private sector had combined to cause low levels of imports and inward inves

The purpose of this research paper was study to what extent English language-culture has impacted the lifestyle of contemporary Chinese women in urban area. To be more elaborate, this research aimed at finding out how deep English and Western culture behind the language (as perceived by Chinese people) has filtered into the women's life, how large it has immersed, and how far and to which dire

Stratego is a boardgame not very different from chess, that contains hidden information. Because of this, existing programs play at beginner level. The purpose of this thesis is to adjust a minimax algorithm so that it passes the demands of Stratego, and then build a Stratego agent around it. Tests with existing minimax algorithms leads to the development p-e-minimax. This algorithm uses two diffe

The world is getting smaller - or bigger -some will argue. Not many geographical spots are untouched, and international brands are known all over the world. It has become easier, and increasingly attractive for Trans National Corporations from countries with strong economies to relocate, out source or establish new branches less wealthy countries in the East, often portrayed as beneficial to all p

This thesis provides a useful open source system for generating motion sequences for the AIBO ERS-7 robot. For this purpose a virtual ERS-7 robot and a corresponding virtual environment have been implemented. All motions are simulated by means of a physics engine, and several useful features have been implemented, in order to allow development of motion sequences as well as exporting of them to th

Jag hade flera förslag på experiment när jag började kursen, varav tillverkandet av filar var ett av dem. Jag är intresserad av medeltida träarbete, och av verktygen som detta gjordes med, och egentligen av verktyg i allmänhet. Jag har en dröm om att återskapa en så komplett medeltida verktygslåda som möjligt, och detta har lett till att jag funderat en hel del över hur man tillverkar olika verkty

The purpose with the essay was to study the school and the social welfare personnel respectively along with their perspectives and views on their collaboration in the work with socially exposed children and how the collaboration was formed. To get answers to my questions, I interviewed three teachers and three social welfare secretaries. The questions and the analysis were divided into themes: th

The title of this Master´s thesis is Multicultural librarian competence - a literature study and interwievs with librarians and managers in Malmö Public Library. Every fifth Swede is born abroad or has at least one parent who are. The migration flows of today reach out longer, there are more efficent ways of communication and travel. This has made previously ethnic homogeneous populations as the

I denna uppsats tänker jag undersöka mekanismen för den mänskliga uppmärksamheten. För detta ändamål har jag lyft ut definitionen av uppmärksamheten ifrån definitionen av medvetandet. Jag är intresserad av att redovisa min åsikt om den rena uppmärksamheten. Den delen av uppmärksamheten som bara är en tankeslös struktur, konkret, en mekanisk mekanism som möjliggör den högre kognitiva processen. Uti

Denna uppsats diskuterar utifrån paradigmbegreppet och Torben Grodals kognitiva filmteori huruvida naturvetenskapligt influerade empiriska metoder - exempelvis ögonrörelsestudier - är tillämpbara inom filmvetenskapen. Uppsatsen reder inledningsvis ut paradigmbegreppet och diskuterar vad användandet av detta begrepp har fått för konsekvenser för humanioras del. Därefter avhandlas hur filmvetenskape

I en föränderlig omvärld är det nödvändigt för organisationer att utvecklas och förändras för att delta i samhällets utveckling. Vid en förändring är det viktigt för ledningen att använda sig av kommunikation som ett redskap för att öka möjligheten att uppnå en framgångsrik förändring. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att med utgångspunkt i en empirisk studie, avseende anställdas uppfattning av kommunika

This study looks at how an Indian voluntary organization, the Punjab-based Guru Nanak Trust, is influenced by its supporters in the Sikh Diaspora. Guiding arguments from studies on Diaspora-Homeland relations were used to examine whether the Trust's linkages with the globally dispersed Punjabi community are getting stronger or weaker and what further opportunities there are for the Trust to in

China's WTO entry brings both opportunities and challenges. Chinese companies are facing increasing competitive in both domestic market and overseas market. How to survive in the domestic market and how to carry out international operations of Chinese firms are the urgent questions to most Chinese firms. Competing with global giants, Haier Group is considered a successful case in China. The ai

This paper selected two cities in Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou and Yiwu to take a look at the relations between the local government and their private sector since the adoption of the reform and opening policy in the late 1970s, from the angle of the functional transition of the local government's contribution to the development of the private sector. The purpose of this paper was to, through th

Focusing on the aging situation in urban Shanghai, China, this paper analyzes the changes and development in the elderly care policy concerning aspects of pension insurance, medical care insurance and the housing system. The elderly care situation in Shanghai was examined in order to find out the challenge to the traditional way of elderly care, and to see what the government has done to improve t

Where the 1990s was the era of multilateral trade liberalisation, the current agriculture-focused multilateral trade talks have dragged on with missed deadlines accompanied by a reluctance to act. In spite of this reluctance, there has been an emergence and proliferation of Free Trade Agreements in East Asia. These FTAs have provided briskly growing economies with the opportunity to develop discri

This thesis attempts to explain why the military is still a powerful political institution/force in Pakistan. Its purpose was to test a hypothesis that the colonial authority structure along with partition (1947) oriented structural dynamics provides an important structural construct to explain politics and the military in post-colonial state of Pakistan. To explain and analyse the problem, the st

The 2002 Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka has resulted in mass-migration of IDPs back to their places of origin. Vanni, in the northern LTTE-controlled part of the country, is also seeing a large number of IDPs coming to settle, including Muslims that had been forced to leave the area by the LTTE. The question is how this resettlement process is taking place, who is involved in it, and what are th

At the end of the twentieth century Asia, and especially China, has rapidly integrated with the world economy. It has been recently confirmed by China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. While this process has been possible due to Chinese fast economic growth, inefficient banking sector appears as a major threat that may shake the stability of the Middle Country in the future. The dis
