In this paper I will analyze some common features, and divisions between organizations in the so called anti-globalization movement, with focus on the political articulations and different ways of political struggle. How is a common identity and a common adversary of the disparate movements constructed wi

An alternative optimization technique for JavaScript engines

Thread Level Speculation at function level has been suggested as a method to automatically (or semi-automatically) extract parallelism from sequential programs. While there have been multiple implementations in both hardware and software, little work has been done in the context of dynamic programming languages such as JavaScript. In this paper we evaluate the effects of a simple Thread Level Spec

Stimulating the Brain : Ethical Perspectives on Deep Brain Stimulation & Nano Scaled Brain Machine Interfaces

This thesis addresses some of the ethical concerns raised by connecting man and machine through so called Brain-Machine Interfaces, BMIs, elaborate brain implants that may both further our knowledge of the brain and alleviate neurological dysfunction and impairments. The primary foci have been to address urgent and prominent concerns elicited by BMIs; to critically evaluate arguments relevant to a

The reform is the interplay of a rigid interpretation of religion, international discourse and local needs. On one hand, it i

Why do we often get biological growth on thin rendering on thermal insulation constructions?

If one takes a closer look at almost any building facade one will find biological growth. Although this can be seen as an integral part of an antique building, for modern buildings it is in most cases seen as an aesthetical problem. All building facades will most likely be discolored by biological growth by time, but in Sweden we have had many cases of newly built rendered facades that have been d
