Sensitivity of Software System Reliability to Usage Profile Changes

Usage profiles are an important factor in software system reliability estimation. To assess the sensitivity of a system’s reliability to changes in the usage profile, a Markov based system model is used. With the help of this model, the statistical sensitivity to many independent changes can be estimated. The theory supports both absolute and relative changes and can be used for systems with or wi

Asymptotic Inference in the Lee-Carter Model for Modelling Mortality Rates

The most popular approach to modelling and forecasting mortality rates is the model of Lee and Carter (Modeling and Forecasting U. S. Mortality, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 87, 659–671, 1992). The popularity of the model rests mainly on its good fit to the data, its theoretical properties being obscure. The present paper provides asymptotic results for the Lee-Carter model and

Kung Fotboll: Den svenska fotbollens kulturhistoria från 1800-talets slut till 1950

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar den svenska fotbollens kulturhistoria från 1800-talets slut fram till år 1950. Det är berättelsen om hur spelet gradvis etableras, överkommer en mängd inre och yttre problem och konflikter, för att träda in i sin guldålder under 1940-talet. Mer konkret följs hur fotbollens medelklassdominerade maktelit försökte kontrollera skeendet inom en sport pThis thesis concerns Swedish football´s cultural history from the end of the nineteenth century to 1950. It is the story of how the game was gradually established, and overcame a great number of internal and external problems and conflicts, before entering its sporting and cultural golden age during the 1940s. I demonstrate how this game´s middle-class dominated power elite tried to control the de

The Bacillus subtilis GlpP protein, antitermination and mRNA stability

Bacillus subtilis can grow on glycerol or glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) as the sole carbon and energy source. The glpD gene encodes G3P dehydrogenase which is required for the catabolism of glycerol and G3P. In the non-coding leader sequence of glpD there is an inverted repeat followed by a run of AT basepairs which has been shown to function as a Rho-independent terminator (a stem-loop structure fol
