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

A uniplanar-compact electromagnetic band-gap (UC-EBG) structure is implemented at 60 GHz on a conventional PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) substrate. The structure surrounds a stacked microstrip antenna with gridded parasitic patch. The UC-EBG implementation results in about 5 dB decrease in the antenna E-plane normalized radiation pattern for angles along the substrate. The measured antenna gain i

The properties of the Granger-causality test in stationary and stable Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models are studied with different types of volatility processes imposed on the unconditional variance. For this test, it is examined how the size and power properties are affected by different magnitudes of GARCH processes and by structural shifts in the volatility. The study has been conducted by mea

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

Aside from the oceans, the world’s forests constitute the most vital element in maintaining a climate which sustains life on Earth. The forests supply all living creatures with the basic elements essential for our survival. In this volume, experts, scientists and scholars from a wide range of disciplines set out to discuss a broad range of aspects concerning humans’ relationship to forests. What d

Optimisation of radiographic procedures require solid tools for evaluation of the image quality in order to ensure that it is sufficient to answer the clinical question at the lowest possible absorbed dose to the patient. Lumbar spine radiography is an examination giving a relatively high dose and good methods for evaluation of image quality as well as dose are needed. We have developed and used a

The thinking in law and politics during 1853 and 1914 is exposed.

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.

Bone mass in adolescents and young adults was studied with regard to its age-related change and its determinants. Methodological aspects of bone mass measurements and their ability to predict future fractures were investigated. Bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed by the Single Photon Absorptiometry (SPA) and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) techniques. We
