Teamwork and project participation are essential skills for professional software engineers. To be able to give large groups of students adequate opportunities to learn such skills at a reasonable teaching cost, we have developed two courses that work in tandem: a team programming course taken by about 100 students, and a coaching course taken by about 20 students. In this paper, we describe our v

Microelectronics promises a high component density and low power dissipation to embedded systems. Unfortunately such a component will always suffer from various error types that make the chip respond differently from its functional simulation. This is especially true for Cellular Neural Networks (CNN), which makes the determination of robust, low-precision parameters to guarantee small footprint a

The scholarly study of religious mysticism is a vast and complex area of research, embracing studies from numerous disciplines. This volume contains a variety of psychological perspectives. The majority of these focuses on mystical phenomena within Christianity, but some contributors also deal with mysticism in non-Christian traditions. As in most studies, phenomena, persons, or occurrences in the

In this paper, we review the physics of harmonic generation in gases and production of short attosecond pulses. Different methods to ensure a sufficient degree of synchronization, for example, selecting the cutoff region of the spectrum or compressing of attosecond pulses with apertures and metallic filters are presented

Introduction For the future conservation, restoration and daily maintenance the need for developing non-destructive and in-situ investigations is vital. At Lund University in Sweden an interdisciplinary research project is being held aiming at, with the help of a mobile system of remote fluorescence lidar, survey and study the facades of historic monuments, and to develop the method and its applic

Utifrån en av Brenda Brasher (1998) gjord sociologisk undersökning av två amerikanska kristna fundamentalistiska församlingar diskuterar Appelros om det, som Brasher menar, är rimligt att förstå den där förekommande exklusivt kvinnliga verksamheten som ett befriande och bemyndigande forum för kvinnlig maktutövning. I artikeln argumenteras för att denna verksamhet snarare bör förstås som ett led i
