The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) or the NorduGrid middleware is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data Grids, with special emphasis on scalability, stability, reliability and performance. Since its first release in May 2002, the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. This paper aims to present the future development direc

An edition of a previously unpublished liturgical legend for the Canonization Day of St. Birgitta of Sweden. The rather lengthy legend recounts the virtues of St. Birgitta in the manner of medieval preaching, then describes the process that led to her canonization, including some miracles that happened in Rome in connection with the Act of Canonization in 1391.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vilken typ av mat vi konsumerar och hur den produceras har stor inverkan på vår miljö och hälsa. Den globala livsmedelsproduktionen ockuperar drygt en tredjedel av världens markyta, står för runt 30 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och är identifierad som ett av de största hoten mot vår miljö. Vi lever också i en värld där nästan en miljard människor går hungriga och ännuFood production and consumption are key drivers of environmental pressures and essential factors in the promotion and maintenance of health. Production of food occupies more than 1/3 of global land areas and is estimated to be responsible for some 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, we live in a world where nearly one billion people go hungry and even more people suffer from

The paper presents a feedback scheduling mechanism in the context of co-design of the scheduler and the control tasks. We are particularly interested in controllers where the execution time may change abruptly between different modes, such as in hybrid controllers. The proposed solution attempts to keep the CPU utilization at a high level, avoid overload, and distribute the computing resources eve

The third generation (3G) cellular networks are starting to be deployed around the world. These networks are predicted to bring a vast number of IP enabled cellular terminals to the Internet. The limited address space of the current version of IP in the Internet, IPv4, has made the cellular industry decide to use IPv6 for these terminals. However, their success will largely depend on the availabil

Within institutional theory of organization, regulative, normative as well as cultural-cognitive elements play a central role when studying patterns of thought and action within and between organizations. In similar way, theory building within sociology of law has devoted vast interest in norms and rules as determinant for human action. To a great extent, the perspectives have nevertheless develop

A theoretical and experimental study of vibration isolation for a source on a lightweight floor structure is presented. The effectiveness of one-stage and two-stage isolator systems is studied. Approximate formulae are presented for both low and high frequency for the receiver, the floor structure. For the mobility, a comparison between approximate formulae, numerical exact results and experimenta
