At Lund University an automated video analysis system is being developed that can be applied for studying the behaviour of road users in complex traffic environments. It is stressed that system must be capable of handling all the categories of road users, i.e. vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Common problems like detection and tracking of moving objects, occlusion by foreground objects, ground-

Traditional efforts in standardizing video coding used to involve a lengthy process that resulted in large monolithic standards and reference codes. This approach has become increasingly ill-suited to the dynamics and the fast changing needs of the video coding community. Most importantly, there used to be no principled approach to leveraging the significant commonalities between the different cod

The purpose of this study was to describe, and analyse the effect of an intervention on, the biomechanical workload in the neck and shoulder region of female hairdressers. Arm elevation was measured by inclinometers and muscular load of m. trapezius by electromyography. The intervention comprised working technique recommendations, e.g. to work with less elevated arms and more relaxed muscles. The

The observed signature splitting at high spin in the odd-odd isotopes Pr126-132 and its description in cranking calculations suggest that Pr-126 (Z=59,N=67) is triaxially deformed at intermediate values. The triaxial shape is explained as caused by specific couplings between the orbitals. These couplings are active for N=67 but not for N=69.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bekämpningsmedel och algblomningar - finns det någon koppling? Inom det konventionella jordbruket används idag regelmässigt stora mängder bekämpnings-medel, bara i sverige spreds under år 2001 mer än 1700 ton kemiska bekämpnings-medel på åkrarna. Ett stort problem med användandet av dessa ämnen är risken att de sprids och förorenar den intilliggande naturen. De kan driIn this thesis I have investigated the effects of pesticide exposure on the ecosystem level using various types of experimental ecosystems, i.e. microcosms. The direct effect of exposure to cyperemthrin, a pyretroid insecticide, was a rapid decrease of crustancean zooplankton in enclosures in a lake. In the exposed enclosures the biomass of algae, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliates and bacter

Many of you have certainly heard about the ISA 95 standard, and you know that it treats the subject of how Enterprise systems should be integrated with manufacturing and control systems, but do you know how and where it can be applied?Almost anyone, in some way connected to the control, automation and manufacturing operations field can benefit from knowing its content; vendors, end-users as well a

Complex and widespread activation in many brain areas is seen while performing, listening or mentally imaging music, activity that varies with training, previous exposure, personal preference, emotional involvement and many other factors. Playing a musical instrument demands extensive motor and cognitive abilities, and early musical learning results in plastic reorganization of the developing brai
