An alternative to the standard endurance/perdurance accounts of persistence has recently been developed: the stage theory (Sider, T. Four-Dimensionalism: an Ontology of Persistence and Time. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001; Hawley, K. How Things Persist. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001). According to this theory, a persisting object is identical with an instantaneous stage (temporal pa

JastAddJ is an extensible Java compiler, implemented using reference attribute grammars. It has been shown previously how the language constructs of Java 5, like generics, could be modularly added to the original JastAddJ compiler that supported Java 1.4. In this paper we discuss our experiences from extending Jast- AddJ to support Java 7. In particular, we discuss how the Try-With-Resources state

The dispersion of droplets and mixing of evaporated gases in a swirl stabilized gas turbine combustor are studied with an Eulerian / Lagrangian approach. The results are shown to be highly sensitive to the assumed droplet injection diameter. Injection of smaller droplet diameters lead to significantly higher local equivalence ratios and temperature drops, and increased gas phase densities, enhanci

Object-oriented languages, in particular Java, are beginning to make their way into embedded real-time software development. This is not only for the safety and expressiveness of the source language; the mobility and dynamic loading of Java bytecode make it particularly useful in embedded real-time systems. However using such languages in real-time systems makes it more difficult to predict the wo

A framework structure for solving multiple option production economic models is described, showing the possibilities in defining independent process modules according to a defined set of rules. The modules are then scanned and inserted into appropriate locations in the solver framework based on naming scheme and linking information, allowing both re-use of knowledge as well as rapid development an

Abundances of O, Fe, Al, Mg, Na and Li determined from high-resolutionand high signal-to-noise VLT spectra from the atmospheric UV cutoff to6800Å of 21 red giant branch (RGB) stars in the globular clusterNGC 6752 are presented. We demonstrate that the previously observedstar-to-star scatter in the Strömgren c1 index is due todifferences in uv NH band strengths caused by significant variations inN

Detta är en studie av den narrativa metalepsens förekomst i deckarlitteratur. Studien är publicerad som ett kapitel i en volym där man försöker fastställa en transmedial definition av metalepsen och där man undersöker företeelsen i tolv fallstudier i olika medier och populära kulturella yttringar: från film, TV-serier, tecknade filmer, grafiska romaner och populärlitteratur till popmusik, musikvidThis is a study of the metalepsis in detective fiction. The study is published as a chapter in a volume which establishes a transmedial definition of metalepsis and explores the phenomenon in twelve case studies across media and genres of popular culture: from film, TV series, animated cartoons, graphic novels and popular fiction to pop music, music videos, holographic projections and fan cultures
