Technology scaling has caused Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) to emerge as a major circuit reliability concern. Simultaneously leakage power is becoming a greater fraction of the total power dissipated by logic circuits. As both NBTI and leakage power are highly dependent on vectors applied at the circuit’s inputs, they can be minimized by applying carefully chosen input vectors durin
Abstract in UndeterminedHeat has for long been utilised as a therapeutic tool in medicine. Tumour diseases and vascular malformations can be treated by elevating the temperature to cytotoxic levels. Laser-induced heat treatment relies on the conversion into heat of light absorbed in the tissue. Mathematical models were used to calculate the light absorption distribution and the subsequent temperat
In this paper I study how 1500 returned Swedish-Americans acted after their return to a mainly rural area of southern Sweden. The rural society in which the returnees grew up before immigrating to America was still largely a self-sustaining society albeit with a slowly expanding market economy. Most of the returnees came from a poorer background but quite a few of them experienced upward social mo
Component-based techniques revolve around composable, reusable software objects that shield the application level software from the details of the hardware and low-level software implementation and vice versa. Components provide many benefits that have led to their wide adoption in software and middleware developed for embedded systems: They are well-defined entities that can be replaced without a
The present study examined the utility of the Word Fluency Test (WFT) as a frontal-lobe-activating test in brain imaging. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured during rest and during the WFT in 49 healthy volunteers and in 15 patients with frontal lobe dementia (FLD). The results showed a highly significant frontal lobe activation in 85% of the normal subjects. This finding was not rela
Operating criteria for power systems, such as theN−1-criterion, are often based on evaluating whether the system is vulnerable to a specific set of contingencies. Therefore, a major part of power system security is concerned with establishing regions in parameter space where the system is vulnerable to specific contingencies. In this article we exploit the possibility of using Monte Carlo simulati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att reducera energianvändningen för belysning i byggnader är viktigt för att uppnå målet att minska koldioxidutsläppen. Ett sätt att nå målet är om vi kan förändra människors beteende vilket kan ge en stor energibesparing. Feedback rörande energianvändning har ofta använts för att förändra beteende, men effektiviteten hos detta tillvägagångssätt är mer ifrågasatt för apThe lowering of energy use from artificial lighting in buildings is vital to reaching the goal of reducing CO2 emissions. Hence, changes in individuals’ behaviours regarding lighting use have received increased attention. Feedback on energy use has often been used to change individuals’ behaviour. However, it is not clear to what extent this approach can be applied for non-residential buildings, w
