Grafchart is a graphical programming language for sequential control applications. It exists in two versions: the basic version (BV) and the high-level version (HLV). The currently used Grafchart tool, JGrafchart, only supports BV. To enable further research on HLV, it must be supported by JGrafchart. Since HLV is a superset of BV it is desirable to add it as an extension to the current implementa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ovan jord & under ytan Sandstäpp är en hotad växtmiljö eftersom arealen av sandstäpp minskat avsevärt sedan Linnés tid (1700-talet). Vi ställde oss frågan varför den har minskat. För att kunna besvara den måste vi förstå vad växtarterna behöver och förstå hur kemin i marken fungerar. Dessutom vill vi lära oss hur markens organismer påverkas av minskningen av sandstSandy, calcareous grasslands are species rich temperate semi-natural grasslands. The species composition in 136 plots was analysed in relation to soil chemistry parameters; extractable P and N, soil pH and lime content. We found that that acidification and decalcification decrease species diversity and the number of red-listed species in these sandy grasslands. The microbial community was investig

Bundle adjustment is a key component of almost any feature based 3D reconstruction system, used to compute accurate estimates of calibration parameters and structure and motion configurations. These problems tend to be very large, often involving thousands of variables. Thus, efficient optimization methods are crucial. The traditional Levenberg Marquardt algorithm with a direct sparse solver can be

This report includes a description of a newly developed simulation tool for energy mapping of different paper drying processes. The simulation tool includes models for three different types of paper dryers and for a coating station and various units used for heat recovery. The models were developed in the block oriented simulation program Extend. The Extend software is briefly described and the eq

purpose. To determine whether normal adults of good and poor reading ability exhibit different patterns of sensitivity to spatial frequency, as previously found between dyslexic and nondyslexic control subjects. methods. The visual acuity, spatial frequency sensitivity, and reading ability of 96 normal, nondyslexic adults was assessed. Participants were ranked according to reading ability. The to

Component-based techniques revolve around composable, reusable software objects that shield the application level software from the details of the hardware and low-level software implementation and vice versa. Components provide many benefits that have led to their wide adoption in software and middleware developed for embedded systems: They are well-defined entities that can be replaced without a
