Low-density parity-check convolutional (LDPCC) codes, also known as spatially coupled LDPC codes, can be decoded using a message passing algorithm. In order to limit decoding latency and complexity, windowed decoding can be applied. Updates within the window can be performed either in parallel or serially. However, simulation results show that uniform updating schedules do not provide the expected

In the first part of this presentation I will highlight the understanding about nanoimprint lithography (NIL) we have developed within the two EU projects that I have been privileged to coordinate, NANOTECH and CHANIL. In the second part I will concentrate on various applications that has been successfully implemented using NIL and the concerns related to NIL for applications. This will include fa

Ömma tår kan prägla en människa genom hela livet. I ömma tår döljer man skuldbelagda och skamfyllda tankar och känslor till följd av påfrestande livshändelser. Ömma tår suger energi. Om man inte gör något åt dem kan de leda till ohälsa och långtidssjukskrivning. I boken Ömma tår redovisas erfarenhet och forskningsresultat från mångårigt arbete med rehabilitering av långtidssjukskrivna människor me

Acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, has been found at mg/kg levels, in heat-treated carbohydrate-rich foods. Acrylamide is formed via the Maillard reaction as a result of the reaction between the amino acid asparagine and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose). Potatoes contain relatively high levels of both asparagine and reducing sugars and therefore potato products such as crisps, French f

The Hampshire breed was introduced as the terminal sire in Swedish slaughter pigs in the 1970s, mainly to reduce stress susceptibility and associated problems of meat quality, such as the meat being pale, soft and exudative (PSE). Since then, however, the RN – allele, a mutation which is only found in pure-bred Hampshire and in crosses with it, has been discovered. In Sweden, approximately 65% of

Phytase is an important enzyme in the food/feed industry. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate, an anti-nutrient compound present in cereals and grains, to release orthophosphate and myo-inositol-6-phosphate with lower degrees of phosphorylation. Phytic acid is a strong chelator capable of complexing with a variety of metal ions under neutral and alkaline conditions, as well as with proteins and

Abstract in GermanIm Jahre 2000 wurde die evangelische Schwedische Kirche vom Staat getrennt und erhielt eine selbstständigere Stellung im Verhältnis zum Staat, geregelt durch ein besonderes Gesetz über die Schwedische Kirche. Im Mai 2012 wurde das Staatskirchensystem durch eine Verfassungsänderung auch in Norwegen teilweise abgeschafft. Auf Island wird eine ähnliche Änderung seit einigen Jahren d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Naturliga störningsregimer är viktiga drivkrafter i vegetationsdynamiken hos de flesta skogstyper jorden runt. Att förstå de rumsliga och tidsmässiga egenskaperna i störningarna, såväl i nutid som i förfluten tid, är viktigt bl a vid utformningen av strategier för naturvård, likväl som för att kunna modellera inflytandet av klimat och människans påverkan. I denna avhandNatural disturbance is an important driving force of community dynamics in many forest types around the globe. Understanding spatial and temporal properties of disturbance events in the present and in the past is important in formulating the nature conservation strategies as well as for the modeling of climate and human impacts on forest vegetation. In this thesis I studied wind and fire disturban

Ibland kan man som lärare undra om man lever som man lär. En sak är i alla fall säker, vi lär som vi lever! Vårt nya stressade levnadssätt påverkar givetvis vårt sätt att lära. Under en kort tidsrymd har tre tekniska produkter påverkat lärandet mer än vad läroplaner eller vetenskapliga pedagogiska genombrott någonsin gjort - datorn, internet och mobiltelefonen. Bodil myntar att vi idag lever på
