In this paper we present a new method for high-level synthesis that enhances design flexibility, specialization and performance primarily conceived for programmable hardware. New programmable hardware devices often provide fast dedicated components that perform complex computations. Arbitrary complex computations can be efficiently extracted from the CDFG using our new graph matching constraint to

This report has been written at the request of The Swedish National Committee for Psychology at the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences and it provides an account of the external research funding at the six large university departments of psychology in Sweden during the years 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001. First, an overview of the six departments is given with respect to the amount of research funding,

Abstract in Swedish Denna rapport presenterar och kommenterar den svenska delen av den expertundersökning som gjordes hösten 2007 för att få en bild av hur arbetsmarknadsrelationerna (industrial relations) i EU25- och G7-länderna kan tänkas se ut år 2025. Bakom undersökningen står European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), som är ett EU-organ specialiseraThis report presents and comments on the Swedish part of a survey made in autumn 2007 to obtain expert opinions on industrial relations in the EU25 and G7 countries in the year 2025. The survey was carried out by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound). One of the basic questions was about how the process of globalisation will influence future indus

The category of interjections is claimed to be universally encountered across languages of the world; this status, however, does not exempt it of a most troubled linguistic history. Interjections have been classifieds both as word-like and sentence- (or utterance-) –like; they have been denied linguistic status or exiled at the periphery of language as a bizarre, primitive form of communication, a

This work attempts to investigate a long-standing tradition within the history of aesthetics according to which the function of pictorial representation consists, or ought to consist, of the rendering of general or idealized types rather than particulars. Proponents of this view may be found in various versions from antiquity to the present. The second chapter of this work gives a historical overv

The isolation of male and female DNA is an important step in the analysis of sexual assault evidence. A vaginal swab with female epithelial cells and male sperm cells is obtained from the female, and it is vital to separate the male and female fractions in order to obtain a single-source DNA profile of the suspect. In the case of a low abundance of sperm cells, it is very important that no cells a

This thesis presents new results on fast correlation attacks on stream ciphers. In particular, fast correlation attacks on stream ciphers containing linear shift registers with an arbitrary number of taps, are considered. A general introduction to stream ciphers and correlation attacks is given. The introduction also presents standard properties of linear feedback shift registers and Boolean func

Popular Abstract in Swedish Enkla kolväten och koldioxid är kemiskt stabila föreningar med mycket låg reaktivitet. På grund av en god råvarutillgång finns ett stort intresse för aktivering och omvandling av dessa föreningar till mer förädlade eller användbara produkter. Reaktioner som bryter starka intramolekylära bindningar är vanligtvis svåra att genomföra på grund av en alltför hög energibarriäAs the tridentate chelate complexes referred to as pincer complexes have expanded their scope as homogeneous catalysts, there is an increased interest in electronic and steric fine-tuning of such complexes. One accessible variable in this aspect is the hybridisation of any coordinated carbon atoms. This thesis describes the synthesis of bis(phosphine) and bis(phosphinite) PCP pincer complexes with

The thesis is based on five investigations. In the first study the nature and the degree of cognitive impairment of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is explored. The results from neuropsychological assessment are described as three levels of cognitive impairment. These levels of functional disturbance corresponded to increased severity of abnormality of the regional cerebral blood flow
