Safe languages like Java provide a much more programmerfriendly environment than the low-level languages in which real-time and embedded software have traditionally been implemented. However, an obstacle for widespread use of Java in control applications has been the predictability and real-time performance of garbage collection, and the cumbersome memory management associated with RTSJ NoHeapReal
Convergence in the electronic security industry entails the meeting of two very different business cultures, which is currently manifesting itself in the form a knowledge gap. In view of this, the crucial strategic resources needed to succeed in the converged electronic security market of tomorrow will be a combination of competences, ca- pabilities and skills sets – or knowledge, in short – drawn
Atmospheric aerosol particles have been sampled near a Los Angeles freeway and analyzed by proton-induced X-ray emission, PIXE, as a sulfur baseline study in September 1974 before 1975-model automobiles, equipped with catalytic emission control devices, appeared in large numbers. The sampling plan was optimized according to the requirements of X-ray analysis techniques, fluctuations in air flow ac
Denna antologi innehåller ett slumpmässigt urval av helt vanliga kinesers opublicerade livsberättelser, författade mellan 1950 och 1981. Originalberättelserna har snappats upp på loppmarknader i Beijing, Shanghai och Nanjing och har här översatts till svenska av studenter vid Språk- och litteraturcentrum vid Lunds universitet. De skildrar inte bara nio liv som kontrarevolutionär, arkivarie, teknik
The heating effects of three PCM vests (Tmelt=32, 28 and 24 °C) were tested on a thermal manikin with constant temperature at 30 ºC in a subzero environment (Ta=-4 °C, Va=0.4 m/s). The results showed that the heating effects lasted about 3-4 hours. The highest heating effects reduced heat loss for 20-30 W/m2 on the torso during the first two hours. The results also showed that the vest with higher
The article is about the symbolic meanings of animal ornamentation in a long term perspective. Special interest is payed to the relation between the images in animal ornamentation and verbal expressions in early medieval skaldic poetry. The article also deals with animal ornamentation in a gender perspective.
Is it possible to capture, in brief, the fundamental changes that affected the role of religion within modern Western society? For a long time, many scholars would have answered that question in the positive; most of them would certainly have counted increasingly tolerant attitudes towards forms of religion that were once been regarded as unacceptable, as being one of those central features. In th
We identified several compounds, by gas chromatographic–electroantennographic detection (GC–EAD), that were antennally active in the bark beetle Ips typographus and also abundant in beetle-attacked spruce trees. One of them, 1,8-cineole (Ci), strongly inhibited the attraction to pheromone in the field. Single-sensillum recordings (SSRs) previously showed olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) on I. typ
Genom reflekterande återblickar på musikpedagogiskt fältarbete i Västafrika, fokuserar detta kapitel på musikaliskt inspirerade forskningsmetoder och pedagogisk utveckling. Nyckelhändelsen är en intervju utförd i ett musikerhem i Basse, Gambia, ett samtal som får tjäna som typexempel på möjligheter i kulturellt gränsöverskridande forskning: Här tar min ”informant” rollen som medforskare, medan de
