This paper discusses a method for abnormal motion detection and its real-time implementation on a smart camera. Abnormal motion detection is a surveillance technique that only allows unfamiliar motion patterns to result in alarms. Our approach has two phases. First, normal motion is detected and the motion paths are trained, building up a model of normal behaviour. Feed-forward neural networks are

Boken är producerad inom Etikforskningsprogrammet i anslutning till Swegene och Wallenberg Consortium North (WCN). Birgitta Forsman skriver om sekulära perspektiv på människan och gentekniken. Tre olika religiösa förhållningssätt beskrivs och analyseras: judiska (Karin Hedner Zetterholm), kristna (Axel Carlberg), och muslimska (Jonas Svensson). Ställningstagandena till de aktuella bioetiska frågor

Data from Au+ Au interactions at s(NN)=130 GeV, obtained with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, are used to investigate local net charge fluctuations among particles produced near midrapidity. According to recent suggestions, such fluctuations may carry information from the quark-gluon plasma. This analysis shows that the fluctuations are dominated by a stochastic distrib

The question of the relation between the collective and the individual has had a long but patchy history within both philosophy and psychology. In this chapter we consider some arguments that could be adopted for the primacy of the we, and examine their conceptual and empirical implications. We argue that the we needs to be seen as a developing and dynamic identity, not as something that exists fu

In this thesis, models for simulation of inelastic phenomena, such as plastic anisotropy, texture evolution, void growth and phase transformation are presented. Special emphasized is put on the modeling of heat generation due to plastic work. All models are formulated within a thermodynamic framework that allows large deformations. The thermodynamic framework is used as a base for the formulation

Abstract in French La présente communication examine les effets du fissurage sur les causes des défaillances dans le sens de l'épaisseur d'un carton multicouches. Nous avons étudié comment la valeur de contrainte maximum relative change en fonction de la longueur des fissures dans diverses conditions de charge. Des feuilles d'essai comportant des fissures de fabrication dans le sens parallèle au pThis paper considers the effects of defects in the form of cracks on the failure properties in the thickness direction of multilayered board. The objective was to study how the peak stress value changes with various crack lengths under various load conditions. Specimens with manufactured cracks cut parallel to the machine-direction–cross-machine-direction plane were glued in the Arcan device and t

Many-body effects in metals due to a change in the core electron occupation number appear in a large number of spectroscopies. The possible importance of the core hole has been realized and discussed for a very long time. Mahan's idea of excitons in metals gave the topic strong stimulus. First the interest was focused on threshold singularities in simple metals. The topic was thoroughly discussed

Kunskap är makt, vilket betyder att med genetisk kunskap följer anspråk på makt över livet, människorna och tankarna. Men anspråk på makt möter motanspråk. Därför har genetisk kunskap alltid genererat konflikter. Dessa handlar sällan om genetiken själv. Istället handlar de om makt-anknutna anspråk. Hur fullständig är egent-ligen kunskapen som våra genetiska undersökningar ger? Räcker den till för

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm. We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performance
