The complexity of systems for automatic control and other safety-critical applications grows rapidly. Computer software represents an increasing part of the complexity. As larger systems are developed, we need to find scalable techniques to manage the complexity in order to guarantee high product quality. Memory management is a key quality factor for these systems. Automatic memory management, or

To date, there is no International standard on procedures and tests to assess the verification and validation (V&V) of building fire evacuation models. Often it is the case that model testers adopt inconsistent procedures, or tests designed for other model uses or they do not test them for all features embedded in their model. For instance, the tests presented within the MSC/Circ.1238 (Guideli

Staden och landsbygden har alltid varit beroende av varandra och utvecklats tillsammans. Artiklarna i denna del VIII:1 av Helsingborgs historia handlar om de områden som 1971 kom att bli en del av den nya kommunen Helsingborg. I boken ligger fokus på de äldre epokerna, skildrat av sex olika skribenter. Landskapet är i sig en källa till historien. Det förflutna är ständigt närvarande genom spår och

This thesis concerns retrospective and prospective studies of the atrioventricular (AV) conduction properties in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The objectives of the retrospective studies were to further delineate the sex distribution in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and to determine the underlying mechanisms of the differences in

The Öresund Region is a transnational region encompassing areas of southern Sweden (Skåne) and southeast Denmark (Sjælland and Hovedstaden). The Energi Öresund project seeks to offer strategic and cooperative energy planning for the region as a whole in order to meet the energy goals of Sweden, Denmark, and its constituent local municipalities. The project is funded by EU INTERREG IV, a European U

Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jag kommer i denna avhandling att resonera kring frågor om skräckfilm som genre och studera hur Hellraiser förhåller sig till dess teman och problem. Hellraiser är en skräckfilm och således, på gott och ont, bunden till en kontroversiell genre. Jag anser det omöjligt att frångå detta i min analys där jag bland annat studerar ondska, sexualitet och genus. Efter en presenIn this dissertation I will discuss horror film as a genre and study how Hellraiser relates to its themes and problems. First I describe the production of the film and after that I present Clive Barker - his background, authorship, film-making and artwork. Next I study the problems of the genre and the different ways in which this genre is defined. I look at narrative characteristics as well as, f
