During the last decades, regional film funds and tax breaks have altered the geography of European film production. Sweden may be among the countries where the tendency has had the most radical effect in that most feature production presently takes place on and around the location of the regional film funds. The communities in which the most important funds are based have, accordingly developed in

För att åstadkomma innovationer och tillväxt krävs samverkan och utbyte på alla nivåer, mellan individer på företag och akademiska institutioner. Nya produkter och tjänster kräver risktagande och uthållighet.

It is today commonplace that games and virtual worlds are not only multi-billion dollar businesses but also momentous socio-cultural phenomena that require critical attention. Massively Multiplayer On-line Games (MMOGs) are these days becoming recognized not only as grounds for play within ‘magic circles’ but also as complex and significant social spaces with 24-7 access to the millions of gamers

Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorsimuleringar, konsten att modellera verkliga eller tänkta händelser med hjälp av en dator och ett lämpligt simuleringsprogram, har blivit ett dominerande verktyg inom tekniska och naturvetenskapliga områden, likväl inom akademiska och industriella tillämpningar. Trots att experimentella studier har ett vedertaget erkännande inom diverse forskningsstudier har den snThis thesis concerns the study of Fluid-Structure interaction phenomena among deforming and (non-deforming) vibrating objects under unsteady fluid fl ow exposures. This multi-physical phenomenon is widely encountered in real-life situations and therefore it is of significant importance to understand the underlying physics. The trend is that both industrial and research facilities aim for developi

One of the most critical issues in wireless sensor networks is energy efficiency because of the limited energy network nodes can store in batteries. Therefore, these networks require robust wireless communication protocols that are designed to be energy-efficient. In this paper, we introduce a routing protocol based on an energy-temperature transformation principle, called RETT. Our objectives are

Socialization is an undertheorized concept representing a challenge to constructivist approaches to European integration. Although references to the capacity of international institutions to shape actor preferences are common, the processes through which actors are thought to be socialized are not yet specified within the field. Once resolved, this challenge will turn out to strengthen the constru

The use of control-based methods for resource management in real-time computing and communication systems has gained a substantial interest recently. Applications areas include performance control of web-servers, dynamic resource management in embedded systems, traffic control in communication networks, transaction management in database servers, error control in software systems, and autonomic co
