Computationally hard problems, such as operations on n-dimensional maps, are in need of efficient solutions. Cellular Neural Networks have this promise. This paper explores digital realizations of such computational paradigms through the case of real-time image processing. It is shown that a behaviour-based spatial unrolling of the time-critical numerical convergence loop outperforms a classical f

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om takvolym är analogt tillämpligt på dynamiska inköpssystem. De senaste åren har prejudikat förändrat synen på vad som maximalt kan avropas inom ett ramavtal. Det skapar följdfrågor om takvolym kan tillämpas analogt på dynamiska inköpssystem, vilket är uppsatsens huvudsakliga fråga. Uppsatsen kommer att börja med att introducera upphandling i stora drThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibility of applying “ceiling volume” onto a dynamic purchasing system. Ceiling volume means the requirement to specify a maximum volume of supplies or services. In recent years legal cases have changed the view of the maximum volume that can be awarded during a given period within a framework agreement. A question has now been raised as to whethe

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka om rekryterare upplever att det förekommer etnisk diskriminering mot den ansökande under rekryteringsprocessen, samt om rekryterare upplever moralisk stress. Den syftade också till att se om det finns ett samband mellan rekryterares moraliska stress och deras erfarenhet av etnisk diskriminering. En enkät gjordes med hjälp av både tidigare befintliga frågor sThis study aimed to investigate whether recruiters experience ethnic discrimination against the applicant during the recruitment process, as well as whether recruiters experience moral stress. It also aims to see if there is a relationship between recruiters' moral stress and their experience of ethnic discrimination. A survey was made using both a pre-existing questionnaire and self-construct

This is a compilation thesis in the sociology of law, which analyses copyright law in three steps; the legal norms, the social norms and the underlying conceptions in their metaphorical representation. These three steps assist in answering the overarching question: "How do legal and social norms relate to each other in terms of the conceptions from which they emanate or by which they are construct

This project aims to highlight the manufacturer as an important asset in product development. In order to design a product, it is necessary, especially for industrial designers to have good knowledge of the manufacturing technologies that are available and to have knowledge of the working environments in which our ideas are put into practice. Increased cooperation between local actors opens opport

This thesis addresses empirically the interplay among international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic market conditions, and its impact on competition, growth, exports and technology diffusion. Chapter two considers the potential relation between regional integration and productivity growth for the case of the European Union (EU). It is found that imports from other members is po

The aim of this study was to analyse whether the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6 gene polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility of chronic periodontitis. Genomic DNA was obtained from 20 patients with chronic periodontitis and 31 periodontally healthy subjects. All subjects were of North European heritage. The test subjects were kept in a maintenance program after periodontal treatment b

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the encounter of the ecclesiastical authorities with the local community, as reflected in the church visitations. The focus is on the bishops' visitations, but there is also a brief examination of the deans' visitations, which are used for a comparison of the two types of inspections. The geographical limit of the study is the diocese of Växjö in southern S
